The Senate today will resume consideration
OF the District appropriation bill Questions OF
the utmost importance to the District will be
decided Among them will be the prohibition
amendment. Its fate seems assured The amend
ment comes up under ruling of the Vice Pres
ident that the Works amendment for the abolish
ment Of the present form of government is in
order. It is practically certain that when an
appeal is taken from the chair this ruling will
be cast aside. If the Works amendment is
voted out Of order the prohibition amendment
will hold the same status. Thus by techni-
cality, the prohibition amendment is defeated
but behind the technicality lies the real reason
for the defeat-the November elections

About two years ago the streets of Wash
fngton were filled with seeking work There
were hundreds of them and they were eager
for any work that would keep them from hunger
and provide a bed. large percentage of men
who were working suffered reductions in salaries.
Conditions grew so serious that Federal and
District officials forced to take steps to aid
the unemployed. When an improvement in con-
ditions seemed in sight the great war came and
the situation here grew even worse But not
for long. With war came the war orders and
manufacturers sent their calls for workers
throughout the nation. And today the unem-
ployed in Washington consist almost entirely
of men who do not want to work Striking
evidence of this may be found in the words of
Superintendent Kline, of the Gospel Mission:
"The business of the rescue missions is practi-
cslly dead. The wages paid by munitions fac
tories have attracted men to get out and do
something for themselves The attendance at
chapel consists principally of old men The
young men are not around as they used to be
because they can get jobs so easily"

In a statement commenting on the situation at
the end Of two years fighting the German for
eign Office says: "The second war year has
brought the true aims of our opponents into
clearer light. Russia wants Constantinople;
France. Alsace-Lorraine and the left bank of the
Rhine; Italy, Austrian territory" At last Ger
many seems to be slowly awakening to what the
war may cost her.

OF LOCAL BODY
Shall Public Interest Be Par
amount in Railway
Differences?

Bringing the subject of disputes be-
tween railways and their employees
home to business men, the Grand
Forks Commercial club through a
referendum sent by the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States is
asked to go on record for or against
the following questions, which are OF
peculiar interest in the light Of the
present relations between employees
and the railroads. Though not par
ticipating in the referendum, the
many railway employees Of Grand
Forks will be greatly interested in the
questions on which the local cha M ber
is asked to give expression, which
are:
First-Shall existing law be so
amended or supplemented as to re-
quire full public investigation of the
merits of every dispute between rail-
road carriers of interstate commerce
and their employees. to be instituted
and completed before any steps tend
ing to the interruption of transporta-
ton shall be attempted?
Second. Shall existing law be so
amended or supplemented as to pro-
vide that upon any board of investi-
cation or arbitration of disputes be-
tween railroad carriers of interstate
commerce and their employees, the
employers and employees shall have
equal representation and the public.
as having paramount interest, shall
have majority representation?
Third. Should congress establish
a permanent statistical division under
the interstate commerce commission
to study and compile statistics relat-
ing to wages and conditions Of serv-
ice upon railways. the records and
services of this division to be imme-
diately available to boards of inves-
tigation or arbitration considering
disputes between railways and their
employees?
With the referendum is carried a
report by the national chamber rail-
road committee, Which backs up
President Wilson'st legislative pro-
gram for a settlement of railroad diff
ferences and advocates an affirmative
answer on the part of commercial or
ganizations, Of which the Grand
Forks club is one, which are affiliat-
ed with the national chamber.
Following the invariable rule the
referendum contains arguments for
and against the recommendations so
that organizations may be fully in
formed before finally casting their
votes.
In the main. Grand Forks railway
officials and their employees whose in
terests are affected agree upon the
referendum as above. 1t is pointed
out, however, by one prominent rail-
road man of the city, that even tenn
porary prohibition OF strikes and
lockouts may be Intellectual; that the
proposal makes no provision to pro-
tect the public after board of in
vestigation has made its report except
insofar as public opinion may be eff
fective; and among others. that the
public's fundamental interest is not
primarily in the rates it pays for
transportation but in the welfare of a
large body of its own members, which
is not necessarily promoted by hav-
ing on boards majority Of members
representing the public.
The balloting closes Tuesday. Jan
uary 80, and when tabulated, the re-
suit will be forwarded to the local as
well as other commercial club bodies
Of the country.

6. n. SHIPS
LESS STOCK
Saturday Shipments De
crease Because of Holi-
day Season.

Only IA cars of live stock went for
ward as the usual Saturday shipment
to the South ST. Paul markets today.
The decrease, which is markedly un-
usual, is explained by the fact that
Saturday shipments arrive at the
stockyards Monday. which this year
occurs both Christmas and New
Years. Another reason is the severe
cold to the past two weeks, shippers
being loath to chance what would in
evitably be a heavy shrinl1age.
According to the Great Northern
chief dispatchers office today. traffic
is rapidly. assuming a normal condi-
ton. Today. practically all trains en-
tered and left the city on time. No
anxiety is felt at present in keeping
trains moving on schedule, unless a
high wind drifts the present fall of
snow, or a repetition Of the recent
storm occurs.
