CONGRESSMEN TO DELVE
into RAILWAY CREDITS
Joint Committee Also to Investigate
Freight Rates.

One Of the chief subjects to be investi-
Gated by the Joint Congressional Com
mittee to probe the railroad and trans
portation question will be railway cred
its. This joint committee will convene
November 20 and prepare the ground work
for further railway legislation, promised
by President Wilson before adjournment
Of the short session OF Congress.
Not only will railway credits be in
quired into in connection with the ques-
ton OF government control of capitaliza-
ton and issuance of stock, but also it
will be considered in its relation to the
establishment Of the eight-hour day and
the ability OF the roads to meet the in
creased labor cost imposed by that legis-
lation.
The possible need OF the railroads for
increased freight rates will be the sub
ject OF hearings, as members Of the joint
committee believe that problem is linked
UP with the general railway question
they are authorized to investigate. There
is growing impression. however, that
complete legislation during the short ses-
sion will be impossible.
Chairman Newlands will issue an ex-
planatory statement before the joint
committee convenes, defining the scope OF
the inquiry and the class of witnesses to
be summoned.

DEALERS BARRED FROM
SALOONS ON SUNDAYS
Licensees viii Protest New Ruling of
Excise Board.

Liquor dealers throughout the District
were keenly disappointed last night with
the receipt of the order of the Excise
Board that positively prevents license
holders from entering their place of
business on Sunday.
The new rule will work a hardship on
many saloon keepers, who have been
accustomed to utilize the two hours
given on Sunday for taking stock.
Coming as the first change from a
board which was expected. by the
majority Of the dealers, to be liberal in
It's treatment Of licences, the order was
more or less OF a shock. Some dealers
are considering petitioning the board for
a reconsideration OF the matter, In the
hope that when they present arguments
against It, the rule will be revoked.
The board organized yesterday by the
election Of Andrew J. (cy) Cummings as
chairman. In addition to changing the
rules and regulations SO that licensees
or their employees cannot enter licensed
premises before in the morning, nor
or Sundays, the board adopted minor
| changes in its rules, and announced
that the rule against selling to minors
or intoxicated persons would be risidly
enforced.
Attention was directed to the fact
that all barrooms, during hours when
selling is prohibited, must be exposed to
full view of the public. The new regula-
tlons are effective October 1.
Representatives of the breweries will
have a conference with the board on
September 3, relative to the sale OF
near beer. Under a ruling OF the Dis
trict Commissioners. only licensed loca-
tons can sell this liquid, and the board
Is expected to restrict its sale by the
breweries to these licensed dealers.
