Washington Jan. 1.-THE ques'
ton of whether witnesses in the Bal
linxer-Pinchot investigation shall be
permitted to be represented by coun-
sci and II so what limitation, shall
be placed upon their activities, prov
ed a serious problem to the confer
ees Of the senate and house who
met today. IT was practically decid
ed that: when a witness found him
self accused Z of wrong doing he
could not be denied an attorney. It
follows, therefore, tha, both former
Forester Pinchot and Secretary Bal
linger would be entitled to have
their lawyers present throughout the
congressional investigation.
Whether former assistant Forester
Price, former law officer Shaw, and
former field agent CLAWS will be al
lowed counsel, has NO. been decided.
An effort is being made by the
committee to prevent forensic gath
ering in the tribunal that would be
likely to prolong the case. There
are many members Of congress who
have no sympathy with the inquiry
as it will delay legislation to con
serve natural resources. They say
if lawyers are admitted at all, the
trial of the case will drag. They
are advocates of the senate plan
which was to shut out all lawyers.
1t is said the house will win on its
provision that the inquiry shall be
confined to the present session OF
congress with report before ad-
journment.
This is taken to mean that after
the inquiry has been concluded
President Taft's conservation pro
gram will be passed and legislation
enacted at this session. The con-
ferees probably will report to the
senate Monday.

STRIKING CARMEN
REFUSE TO GO BACK
Will Not Return to Work Until
There Is an Honorable
Adjustment

Philadelphia, Pa, April i.--Following
the refusal of the striking carmen at
their meeting last night to accept the
terms Of settlement offered by the
philadelphia Rapid Transit Company,
the board of directors of the company
to day practically withdrew It's OTTER
to take back all the men. AT the close
of the meeting of the directors, the
following statement was issued by the
company:
After the men on strike refused
the offer of employment in a body
made to them two weeks ago. at the
instance of the Mayor, the company
proceeded TO fill vacancies. getting
competent men wherever they could
be found. So many men have been
employed in the two weeks since the
offer was rejected that it Will now
be impossible TO take back into the
service OF the company all of the old
men on strike.
"rhe officers. however have been IN
structed in filing runs still open. to
give the preference to old employees
whose records in the past have been
satisfactory tothe company Old men
so employed Will be entitled TO ad-
vances in wages and to the insur-
ance and pension features the same as
if they had not gone on strike
The executive committee of the local
Garments union. in statement Issued
to might, says:
at least $500 of the striking car
men were present at last night meet
ing. and inasmuch as 1t has been re-
peatedly claimed that the men were
DESTROYS of returning to work, ana
that our international officer {. u
Pratt, was the stumbling block that
stood In the way, it was decided best
to give the men another opportunity
to accept the Mayors proposition. to-
gether with the additional verbal as
surances that were given to O. Q.
Pratt on Saturday.
There was an immediate storm OF
opposition to the proposition. and not
one voice was raised in favor of the
acceptance of the same; on the con-
trary. a unanimous standing vote was
taken against the acceptance of any
propositions that would not restore the
Nocked out men to their former posi-
tons in the company's service. Every
man raised his right hand and re-
newed his obligation TO continue TINS
fight. not one man to return until
every man should return under an
honorable adjust ment; the only argu-
ment advanced by the individual mem
bers was to the effect that they would
never surrender their rights even If
they never worked for this company
