CREDIT MOBIIlER GANG.
Mr.. Anderson Talks Plainly on
the Pacific Funding Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-In the
house this morning the discussion was
resumed upon the Union Pacific fund
ing bill. The measure was opposed
by Mr.. Anderson, Of Iowa,
who regarded it as one of
the most important propositions
ever brought before congress, whether
considered from financial OF a moral
standpoint. That the career of the Pa
cife Railroad companies had been
criminal, and that they had robbed the
treasury of hundreds of millions of
dollars was, he said, conceded every
where. They had absolutely dominated
the entire western portion of the coun-
try, and had eXtorted, over and above
what was legitimate in the way of
charges and rates, an amount greater
than that which they had taken d.
Tectly from the treasury. In reference
to the Union Pacific company he de-
clared that 50 far from its being under
new management the direction of the
road to-day was in the hands of
and controlled by the old Credit
Mobilier gang. That gang which
preyed upon the country in 1923
was to-day preying on the country as
the converted new Union Pacific man
agement. The political party which
did not think it important enough to
dignity the matter of the control of the
Pacific railroads by resolution in it's
national platform would not be entitled
to, and should not receive, the conf
dence of the American people.

The Burlington does not glory in the
success achieved over large body of
intelligent men, who were mislead by
a few so-called chiefs. 1t was mis-
taken idea. hastily conceived and as
hastily carried into execution, that by
sacrificing their individual predictions
they could, unitedly, compel a gigantic
corporation to accede to their unjust de-
mandS. How long would it have been
before other and further demands would
have been made upon the management?
These men reckoned without their host.
They argued that the Burlington could
not fill their places; but this has been
done, and the service restored to its
former excellence. The public need
have no misglvingS as to the ability of
the company to accomplish all it an
nounees as being prepared to do. The
strike was failure from its inception.
The responsibility of persons and prop
erty is assumed by the company. If
you admire an institution that has the
courage of its convictions, give it your
patronage. 1t now stands between you
and the righteousness OF jealous COM
petitors. The Burlington system was
in advance OF all lines in establishing
the dining car service. To the Bur-
lington is due the present fast train ser
vice between the Northwest and Chi
cago and ST. Louis. 1t has been pro-
gressive in the past, surmounted its diff
fculties in the present and, if true
merit, courteous attention, prompt SER
vice and sure connections count for
aught, will in the future carry the
greater proportion of fair-minded, lib
eral people. w. j. C. KENYON,

The Women Discuss Early Plays
in Their Work.
WASHINGTON. March 31.-The MORN
ing session of the international council
of women was devoted to a conference
of the pioneers, many of whom were
seated on the stage. A crayon portrait
of Lucretia Mott, delegate to the great
anti-slavery convention held in London
in 1910, and prominently connected with
many of the reform movements since
that time, appropriately decorated with
SmilaX and lilies, occupied place on
the platform. In accordance with the
usage of the Friends, of which she was
a member and an accredited preacher,
a season of silent prayer was observed,
after which hymn, The Reformers,"
by Whittier, was sung. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton was then introduced,
amid applause as the co-laborer
forty years ago. Mrs. Stanton gave the
history of the Seneca Falls convention
of 1913. The result of the labors of
these reformers was evident in New
York, which was the first state to &C
cord property rights to married women.
John w. Hutchinson next sang song
composed for the occasion, and eulO-
CYSTIC of Lucretia Mott and the other
leaders. The name of Susan B.
Anthony and the various good
points in the song were applauded
A call was then made for those on the
stage who were at the Seneca Falls
meeting forty years ago to stand land

Fred Douglass then made few re-
marks. Mrs. Lucy Stone spoke of the
difficulties met at meeting she at
tended in Philadelphia in 1888, and of
the difficulties that beset all pioneers
--brickb6ats, reyiling by the press,
etc. She paid high trib-
ute to Abby Kelley and the
Grimke sisters. She told of her
early meetings gotten up in the cause
of woman's rights. She took up collec-
lions herself in the meetings she held to
pay the expenses. The other speakers

WASHINGTON, March 31.-There was
meeting of the Democratic senators
to-day to consider plan of action on
the pending bond bill. Senator Beck
presided, and in the absence of
Senator Kenna, Senator Faulkner
acted as secretary. The faithful
were slow in gathering, and it was after
II o'clock before quorum had showed
up. This did not leave much time
for work before the assembling
of the senate, and full
expression was not had. The
Stewart amendment to the bond bill
seemed to find favor as a general thing,
but it was thought that some amend
ments would be necessary to perfect it.
Senator Mcpherson opposed it in la
bori0us speech. 1t was proposed to
hold another caucus at 10 o'clock Mon
day morning.
