On the eve of tho hearing all indi-
cations point to communication. Georgia

PINCHOT ARGUES FOR
FEDERAL OWNERSHIP
Says Big Corporations Force
Railroads to Neglect
Small Rivals.

Government ownership Of railroads Ii
tho only solution OF the industrial prob
lem IN the United states. said Amos
Pinchot in a speech az the East Side
Forum. Hester and Essex streets. last
night. He charged that tho influence
OF great corporations over the railroads
IL still such that small producers eanno
get equal rates that will enable them
to compete with their larger rivals.
AT present industrial America Is pro-
ducing at least a third less han II
ought to produce" he said. at is also
using perhaps n third less labor than IL
ought TO use. Why Is this" 1t is he
cause our great captains OF industry
have found that they can make more
money by only turning out of their
mills, mines and factories as much
product as they can sell to the public
al fancy prices.
Now tho means by which this re-
striction OF product and kitlng OF prices
Is accomplished is largely the control
over transportation that private owner
ship Of railroads gives TO the dominating
eroup In each industry. Through the
alliance between our great Industrial
producers and our railroads tho former
are not only able To drive other pro-
dhcers ont or business hut to keep pos
sihle producers from getting into bust
ness. In this way they hold down the
volume Of coal. oil. steel. beef and
other commodities that arc made and
sold 20 the people of the United states.
But you say. cannot the Interstate
Commerce Commission make the rail-
roads give transportation to all on equal
terms? The answer Is emphatically
y o They do not and cannot and
never will, Even the most arden advo-
Gates Of regulation now frankly admit
that regulation IL n failure and that
railroad Relating. though prevcntable in
some OF it's grosser forms. is just getting
It's second wind. Private r~ailroading

FIGHT AGAINST DRUGS
Says Arrest Of Keeper Curry
Is Only a Step at Start
Of Investigation.

Katharine b. Davis. Commissioner Of
Correction. made a statement yesterday
concerning what has been done 10 stamp
out the drug traffic In the city prisons.
She says the recent arrest OF Martin
Curry. keeper In the Blackwelrs Island
penitentiary. zig only one step at the be-
ginning of an investigation which we
believe will end with the elimination
from the department Of the small ring OF
employees guilty OF this traffic in the
penitentiary."
Miss Davis points first 20 the arrest
and conviction within a year for SNUG
gling drugs OF four employees in the
department. These are DR.. Charles u.
Baxter. a w%orkhouse physician. who Is
now serving a year in the psnitentiary
Joseph Mills. a nurse in the w~orkhouse
hospital, sentenced TO a year In the
p~enitentiary Charles whalen. a work
house keeper, sentenced 10 a month In
the Tombs. and Edward Dunn. orderly
in the penitentiary shoe shop. sn-
fenced to the reformatory.
Keeper Curry on May Is was held
for trial In $500 hail by Magistrate
House. There have been thirty lesser
prosecutions. Miss Davis and her star,
have worked with Assistant District At

SEEK PARDON FOR CASSIDY.
Petition Secured by Curly JOe's
Brother Filed In Albany.

Friends of Curly Joe Cassidy, former
Democratic boss of Queens. received
word yesterday that petitions asking
Gov. Whitman to pardon him had been
filed with Pardon Clerk Potter at AL
bany. Cassidy has served only n
little more han Ave months of his sem
tence of not less than one year or more
than two years and three months. 1t
is understood that N has not yet paid
the fine of $1,000, which was imposed
in addition to the sentence. A pardon
would not only wipe out this fine but
would also restore Cassidy to citizen
ship. This latter consideration Is the
principal one for asking the pardon.
The petitions for Cassidy's pardon
were got together by his brother,
John Cassidy, who IL clerk in the First
District Municipal Court In Long Island
City. They are very brief and simply
ask for the pardon. giving no reasons
why II should be granted. The signers
are said to be residents OF Queens. Kings.
Nassau and Suffolk counties, which con
stitute the judicial district. No petit
tons have thus far appeared for will
