BILL CONPELS USE
OF STEEL COACHES

The abolition Of every wooden passen-
ger coach in the United States within
five years will be demanded in bill
that is being drafted today by Congress
man A. G. Allen of Ohio. the member Of
the Postoffice and Post Roads Commit
tee, who framed the steel mail car pro-
vision in the postoffice appropriation bill,
and Congressman Stevens of New Hanp-
shire, chairman of the safety appliance
committee of the interstate Commerce
Committee.
The Allen-Stevens bill, which will be
offered for passage at the special ses-
sion of Congress, If possible, will demand
that every railroad in the country retire
20 per cent of its wooden passenger
coaches per year beginning January !,
1914. II will provide for special corps
of investigators, directly under the su-
pervision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, to see that the provisions of
the measure are carried out.
Form Weak Link.
Wooden coaches in these days of
great mogul engines and complex traf-
fic are anomalous" declared Congress-
man Allen today. AT the hearings be-
fore the Postofice Committee, when
the steel mail car provision was up. 1t
was proven that they are the great
weak link in protection against wrecks
I'm a collision or derailment the en-
gine serves as a barricade, over which
the wooden coaches ride, shaving the
car bodies from the platform and pin
ming occupants in the debris With
steel coaches, accidents of this sort are
impossible. A steel coach can not be
broken or telescoped. Its body is a
guarantee against that 1t will be de-
rallied and roll over, but the great loss
Of life in wrecks comes from the debris
crushing the life out of passengers"
Covers Every Car.
The bill will not apply to Pullman
coaches alone 1t will cover every
car that carries passengers, from the
combination baggage and smoking car
to the finest type of Pullman.
Congressman Stevens, who, as chair
man of the safety appliance subcom-
mittee, will have direct charge of the
bill after 1t is presented In the House
and referred to his committee, said
today that he would use his best ef-
forts to see that II was reported out
promptly.
THE railroads, of course, will have
fair hearing he said. They may
be unable to get sufficient steel
coaches to comply with the proposed
time stipulation in the measure In
that case, the bill will be amended, to
provide that certain trains where the
risk Is greatest, be equipped first"

RAILROAD OFFICER
SCORES CAR MAKERS
Pullman Company Can Build
More Coaches, Declares
Chief of Western Line.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4-"The statement
of the Pullman company that it is
not supplanting more of its old-fash-
ioned wooden sleeping cars with steel
cars because 1t is impossible to turn
them out any faster, is preposterous."
declared a leading official OF a West
ern railroad. with headquarters in
chica CO. today. He refused to allow
his name to be used for publication,
fearing. he said, that his road might
be Disseminated against by the Pull
man corpora tfon.
1T is absurd for the Pullman
company to say that it cannot get
enough steel TO manufacture steel
cars as rapidly as 1t desires" de-
clared the railroad man.
'T know positively that the Pullman
Company can obtain within q short
1000 cars, enough to replace all the
wooden Pullmans now in operation.
The real reason why the Pullman
people are not supplying the railroads
with steel cars is because the Pullman
directors will not let them. They real
wooden ones the old-fashioned cars win
have to be thrown on the junk heap
at fat loss.
Dollars and Cents.
1T is matter of dollars and cents
with the Pullman directors and they
will not increase the output of steel cars
until they are forced to il by the Gov
ernment."
The railroad man who made this state
ment denied the truth Of the Pullman
Company's statement that 1000 all-steel
cars have been furnished the railroads
in the last three years and that only
1000 cars now in service are of wood.
I'm round numbers, the Pullman COM
pany has supplied just 800 sleepers to
the railroads since l910," he said. The
other 1900 now in operation are built
entirely of wood. or have steel under
frames and wooden uppers.
These steel under-frame cars are
built IN such a manner that the casual
observer Is deceived. He thinks he Is
riding in a steel car, because the win
dow sills and door sills are of steel and
the sides of the car are painted steel
color"
officials Disguised
Western railroads, according to this
official, are thoroughly disgusted at the
action of the Pullman company In fur
nishing its all-steel cars largely to the
trunk lines in the East, or running from
New York to Chicago. He confirmed
the statement made yesterday by F. g,
Dull, Of the Illinois Central road. that the
Pullman corporation writes into its
contracts with the railroad companies q
provision whereby the Pullman company
cannot be forced to furnish all-steel cars
! to any road II competing lines in the
same territory are using wood.
THE effort OF this provision, ne ex-
plained. ''is to keep almost to the min
/ mum the output of steel cars at the
Pullman plants Unless one of our COM
( petitors goes into the business Of manu-.
| featuring its own sleepers. as several
of the Western roads have done, II Is
! impossible for US to force the Pullman
people to supply US with all-steel cars
any faster than they desire"

/ the Pullman Corporation, remained Ia
accessible to newspaper men today.

ant in hearing today before the in
terstate commerce commission in a
proceeding instituted by the national
baggage committee attacking as illegal
and unjust the excess baggage rates
eXacted by the carriers. To an extent.
likewise. every traveller who may car
ry baggage in excess of $50 pounds is
party in interest.
Four years ago the railroads in
creased their charge for excess weight
of baggage from 121-2 per cent Of
the first class passenger fare to 16 1-2
per cent. an advance Of IS per cent.
Commercial travellers. particularly.
contendcd that the increase was un-
warranted and unreasonable. Testi-
mony was introduced today to show
that commercial travellers in England
were permitted to carry S36 pounds of
baggage on first class ticket and in
Canada 800 pounds.
The complainant committee urged
the commission to restore the former
rate Of II 1-2 per cent Of first class
fare on excess baggage. with mini

Washington, April %. - Senator
chamherlain's resolution providing
for the abrogation Of the HayPaunce-
fote and CLAYTON Bulwer treaties with
Great Britain, still was topic of
great Importance about the capitol to-
day. Several prominent members Of
congress, while admitting that it Is
one way of tackling the canal tolls
question. refuse to take an official
stand until the question comes up.
Other than reiterating their state
ments of yesterday to the effect that
they knew nothing of the resolution.
state department officials refused to
he any comment today.
Senator O'Gorman. chairman of the
interoceanic canals committee, which
must handle this particular legisla-
ton, yesterday announced himself III
favor Of the plan.
Senator O'Gorman said: Senator
Chamherlain's resolution is a more
concrete statement of the position
took in the last session, that if the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty justifies Great
Britain in making the protest now
before our government. then it would
be we'll If means could be found to
abrogate the treaty."
The new angle to the situation caus-
ed much discussion in senate circles
during the day and brought out many
endorsements Of the proposal. Sem
ator O'GDrman declared at the close
of todays session that he believed the
resolution would pass by a large ma
jority # it came to vote.
\ meeting of the interoceanic can
ais committee had been called for to-
day. but it was postponed until next
Tuesday. Senator Roots bill for a re-
peal of the free toll provision is now
tefore the committee. 1t was appar-
ent today that much of the support
that was mustered in the last session
to prevent the change of free to.l
provision will now be brought to the
support OF the plan to abrogate trea-
ties that MAY be interpreted as giving
Great Britain any ground for protest.

WILSON IS TO
Make APPEAL
Will Ask California Not to
Enact Laws in Contraven-
ton Of Treaty.

Washington. April 22.-President
Wilson after q conference with the
demorrstie dsfegatIon. from California.
decided to telegraph Governor John
son and the legislative leaders in CAL
ifornia. appealing to them not to elect
alien land laws in in contravention Of
treaty obligations of the United States
with Japan.
The administration is not yet at the
erd of its resources and will continue
efforts to ameliorate the harsh fea-
lures of the projected legislation. AL
though the president in his message
to Governor johnson transmitted
through Secretary Bryan, has recog-
nized the right of the people of Cali
fornia to legislate according to Cali
fornia's judgment on the subject of
land tenure. he is also under the cbli-
CATION of guarding against encroach-
ment by state legislation on that part
of the field of International relations
reserved by the constitution to the
national government.
Federal Government Might Enter.
Therefore in the event the Califor-
ria legislation takes the form of direct
discrimination against the japanese
in violation of what the administra-
ton itself regards as their treaty
rights, the national government itself
might enter the lists against the state
OF California. before the judicial tri-
bunals of the land. 1t does not fol-
lew that the United States govern
ment would take the initiative in the
judicial proceedings intended to test
the legality Of the states action. In
the ordinary course, the initial step
would be taken by japanese individ-
uals or corporations in California,
whose lands are sought to be es-
cheated.
But it is fully expected that the
department Of justice would come for
ward rs an interviewer, throwing the
weight of the United States govern.
ment into the scale in defense of the
Japanese treaty rights. If the state
courts would uphold such statute,
the case would be appealed to the
United States circuit court and almost
certainly by one party or the other.
taken to the United States supreme
court, which tribunal has never vet
