BILL PASSES Fight Was Expected, But The Drastic Bill Got Through Without Objection Washington.—Senator Poindexter's drastic anti-strike bill passed the sen¬ ate. But that isn’t the story, The story Is that this measure, which had been e>pected to kick up one of the biggest rows of the session, was pass¬ ed by the senate without objecMon, without debate, without a roll call, almost without anybody knowing it was happening. Nobody was more ' surprised than Senator Poindpxter himself. He admitted afterward that he had expected to see the senate chamber torn more or less asunder. The Poindexter bill includes the anti - strike provisions of the Esch Cnminins act, wihch were stricken out in conference. These were intended to prevent railway employees from striking or Inducing other employees to strike. The bill' also provides a similar restraint for employees of concerns supplemental to railway op-j oration, such as coal mines or railway equipment manufacturers, when such a strike is intended to hinder the op-' eration of the railroads. An offense] under the proposed act would be a fel¬ ony and the punishment provided is a fine not exceeding ten thousand dol¬ lars or imprisonment not exceeding! ten years, or both. I Senator Poindexter, seen after the passage of the bill, was still puzzling I over the mariner in which it had oc¬ curred •'With the whole country ■ more or less divided into two camps | on the subject,” he said, “I certain-j )v expected considerabl opposition." Concerning the bill itself, he said: j “Protection of commerce is the sole - ■ amt of the hill. None of the inhibi¬ tions of the hill would apply to any j of the acts named unless they were done with intent to obstruct, delay, hinder or prevent the movement of commodities of commerce between the B | nt( .K or w itht foreign countries.” Organized labor, whose bitter oppo¬ sition resulted in the conference com¬ mittee taking the anti-strike clause out of the Esch-Cummins act, is expected to protest so violently that the re¬ mainder of the bills’ course will he anything but smooth.
