Speaks On "Finn Bill"

The convention was also addressed
yesterday afternoon by ]. V. Norman
speaking in the interest OF the proposed
"Finn Bill"
This bill provides for increasing the
powers of the Railroad Commission of
Kentucky to enable the members to fix
both passenger and freight rates. 1t
specifies, Mr.. Norman explained, that
no public officials shall travel upon a
pass. 1t also enables the commission
to fix the freight rates where more than
one railroad in the State handles the
freight. At present, Mr. Norman stated.
the commission can only fix the rate
where one railroad is concerned in the
hauling. This is working hardship,
the speaker said, and quoted as an cx-
ample the Kosmosdale Cement Com
pany, which pays more for haul from
kosmoSdale to Lexington than from
Kosmosdalc to Mitchell, Ind, because
the freight must be sent over two dif-
ferent railroads in the trip to Lexington
The opening session yesterday morn
ing was called to order by Alderman
Fred Schwenker chairman OF the En-
tertainment and Arrangement Commit
tee, with brief talk, in which he an

The controversy between Mat S.
Cohen, newly-elected Commissioner of
Agriculture, and the Kentucky Fedora
ton OF Labor, regarding the appoint
inent OF the State Labor Inspector, was
the basis of considerable discussion at
the Federation's convention at the Gait
House, which opened Monday, January
10th. Labor leaders maintain Mr..
Cohen violated his campaign pledges in
appointing Jack Nelson, OF Paducah, as
Labor Inspector, and his assistant with
out waiting to hear the Federation ex-
press its choice. The matter was fin
ally turned over to the Committee on
Officers Reports, and probably will be
reported upon today.
State Senator Charles F. Knight was
introduced by John Schneider, chair
man of the Legislative Committee, and
detailed the negotiations carried on by
himself between Mr.. Cohen and the
Federation of Labor. He stated that
he was placed in an embarrassing posi-
ton, as he was both a personal friend
OF MIR. Cohen and OF organized labor
but that he would give the whole story.

said, he received letter from Mat S.
Cohen, in which the latter asked that
arrangements be made with the FEEDER
alton to secure the support of labor
leaders for his candidacy for Commits
sioner of Agriculture. Accordingly,
Senator Knight said, he obtained the
consent OF the Federation officials for
meeting with Mr. Cohen at The Seel-
bach on January B. 1915.
