MAY RESULT IN
GENERAL STRIKE
Many Glasses Of Railway En-.
pIOyes Ask More Pay.

Washington, Jan S-Many classes
of employees on many railroads in the
United States have served notice on
the managers that they want more
pay, giving as their reasons the in.
creased cost OF living.
Contracts and agreements between
roads and employees expire on various
dates this year, the first of them on
Jan. 20; the men are expected to re.
fuse to renew these contracts on the
prevailing terms.
The employers have replied to the
interstate commerce commissions in.
Quiries as to their attitude by saying
that it will be necessary to increase
freight rates if wages are increased.
| The commission may refuse to
rates.
President Taft has been informed
about these conditions and wants the
| differences settled by arbitration.
The governments work to this end
is in the hands of the mediators, In.
terstate Commerce Commissioner
Knapp and Labor Commissioner Neill
These men hope that they will be able
to avert general railroad strike
which seems to threaten in case the
demands Of the men are not granted
Or arbitrctod.
AT this tine the mediators and other
government officials are more con.
cerned about the approaching crisis in
the general railroad situation than
about the switchmen's strike, with
which their active interest ceased
| Thursday when the Northwestern rail
roads informed the mediators that
, they would dlcker no longer with thei1
| former employees.

members of congress concerning de-
partmental affairs.
The Pinchot letter was one of the
chief topics discussed at the cabinet
meeting. Secretary Ballinger arrived
before the members and was closeted
with the president for some time 1t
Is known that several of the presi-
dents advisers have counseled him to

ther delay on the ground of insubor-
dination in disobeying an executive

The chief forester was before sub

He was called to explain certain

OF the committee would discuss the
testimony beyond stating that it was
purely on routine matters.

Dental axe be welded to decapitate
Clifford Pinchot as chief forester? This
is the burning question in official do
main.
Callers at the White House were
mostly of the opinion that Pinchot
had reached the dead line with the
president and that his head would
drop into the basket before many
hours. Others thought the president
would suspend him pending the result
of the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy

persons to whom the stock is to be
issued
Corporations taking federal char
ters are to be prohibited from acquir-
ing and holding stock in other cor
porations except for special reasons,
upon approval by the proper federal
authorities. Full reports of operations
are to be made to the department OF
commerce and labor at regular inter
walls. The federal incorporation is to
be voluntary but the president feels
that most of the corporations will be
glad of the opportunity to reform their
business methods if given this oppor-
tunity. Otherwise The department Of
justice will investigate them. Moth
ing in the federal charter is TO ex-
empt any corporation from prosecu-
tion for violations of the antitrust
law
In that portion Of his message deal
ing with changes in the interstate
commerce law the president recon
mends:
The establishment of United
States court of commerce of five
judges to hear and determine appeals
from the interstate commerce com
mission, the only appeal from this
court lying in the United States SUI
preme court.
For Prosecution of Cases.
The commission is to be relieved Of
prosecuting cases in the courts, this
duty being placed in the department
of justice.
Pooling arrangements as to rates
to be allowed under direct supervision
of the commission.
The commission to be empower ed
to pass upon freight classifications.
The commission to be empowered
to hold up new rates or classifications
by railroads until an inquiry can be
made as to their reasonableness. II
found to be unreasonable the com
mission may forbid the increase.
Shippers to be given the choice OF
established rates on through freight.
From and after the passage of the
~ 10 ploNAuOu thoS III
railroad shall acquire any stock or
interest in a competing line, except
that where a road already owns 90
per cent or more of the stock of an
other road it may complete the pur-
chase of all the stock. Also in cases
where one road is operating another
under a lease of more than twenty
five years duration it shall have a
right to acquire the demised road
Allowing these acquisitions of stock
does not exempt any road from prose
cution under the antitrust law.
Stocks must be issued at par value
for money paid in or for property OF
services, rates at full value, under an
inquiry by the federal authority, who
shall supervise all stock and bond
issues.

OPEN FIGHT AGAINST
Or. ROBERTS NOW ON
Treasurer Of Presbyterian As
sembIy Asked to Resign

Pittsburg, Jan. 8.-The opening gun
of war inside the Presbyterian
church of North America was fired
when opponents of Rev. William
Henry Roberts of Philadelphia, clerk
and treasurer of the Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly, came out in the open
with demand that he resign from his
position as treasurer.
In addition to these two high offices
DR.. Roberts holds nearly sixty other
positions of trust in the general as
sembly-most of them paying good
salaries. Arrayed against DIR. Rob
erts are most of the presbyteries Of
the United States.
The Presbyterian Banner, the Off
cial organ of the church, openly in
sists on the dethronement of the
treasurer. 1t says:
"We have been receiving a large
number of communications from ell
ders and ministers of the church CIV
ing their views on the separation of
these two offices. In every instance
they say this separation should be
made and use emphatic language on
the subject
"f the Presbyterian church is 60
ing to retain the support and respect
of its business men and large givers
1t cannot trifie with this thing, but
must put its business on a business
basis, and that right speedily"
An effort was made at the recent
to depose DR.. Roberts, but it failed
as he is surrounded by some of the
strongest men in the church.

RECOMMENDED
BY PRESIDENT
Special Message Suggests
Changes in Statutes.
FAVORS COMMERCE COURT

rations the Most Important Proposal
Made by the Chief Executive to
Congress.
Washington, Jan. 8.-President
Taft's special message dealing with
amendments to the interstate com
merce laws looking to a more effective
federal supervision of railroads and
conveying his recommendations for
the passage of a federal Incorporation
act was transmitted to congress and
read in the house, the senate not be.
ing in session.
The message followed closely the
forecasts that have been made from
time to time and suggested legisla.
ton as to railroads, embodying all OF
the suggestions that the president has
made from time to time in his speeches
on the subject
Mr.. Taft suggests no changes in the
Sherman antitrust law at this time.
The antitrust feature of the message
deals solely with the subject of federal
charters. The president thinks that
an opportunity should be given the
big industrial combinations to bring
their business once more into the
zone of lawfulness" by taking out a
federal charter under certain pre-.
scribed conditions before it becomes
necessary to proceed against every
corporation about which there is a
breath of suspicion.
To Probe Suspected Concerns.
''It is the duty and the purpose of
the executive" says the message, ito
direct an investigation by the depart.
ment of justice, through the grand
jury or otherwise, into the history, or
ganization and purpose of all the in
dustrial companies with respect to
which there is any reasonable ground
for suspicion that they have been or
ganized for purpose and are conduct
ing business on plan which is in vio-
lation of the antitrust law"
Such a wholesale investigation and
possible prosecutions, the president
points out, however, would result in
halt in our present prosperity that will
cause suffering and strained circum
stances among the innocent many for
the faults of the guilty few.
"The question which | wish in this
message to bring clearly to the con
sideration and discussion of the con
gress Is whether, in order to avoid
such possible business danger
something cannot be done by which
these business combinations may be
offered means, without great tinan
cial disturbance, of changing the char
acter, organization and extent of theil
business into one within the lines o.
the law under federal control and su
pervision, securing compliance will
the antitrust statutes"
The conditions upon which fedora
charters are to be granted under The
presidents recommendations art
these:
Method Of incorporation.
The issue of stock to be to ar
amount equal only to the cash paid In
on the stock, or, If stock be ISSUED
for property, then at fair valuation
