vention to stop the deportation of Bel
gians to Germany for forced labor,

A summary of the communication
was submitted to the State Depart
ment by Mr.. Havenith, several weeks
ago, about the time it became known
that American Charge Grew, at Berlin,
had been instructed to say informally
to the German foreign Office that the
treatment of the Belgians was Great
ing a most unfavorable impression in
the United States and other neutral
countries. The Charge was informed
that deportation was a military neces-
sity and not in violation of interna-
tional law.
Since then further representations
have been made by the United States
the exact nature of which has not
been disclosed.
So far as is known, no reply has
come from Germany.

MORE RAIL LAWS BEFORE SEN.
ATE-BILL ENLARGING I. G. c.
AND REVISING IT'S POWERS
PROPOSED BY ADMIN
IsTRATION

Washington, December 5-Further
railroad legislation suggested by Pres
ident Wilson at the time of the enact
ment of the Adamson law will be taxi
EN- up Friday by the Senate Commerce
Committee, Chairman Newlands said
today. Measures before the Commit
tee include:
A bill to enlarge the membership of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
from seven to nine and empower 1t to
sit with full authority in groups; a oil
similar to the Canadian dispute act to
forbid strikes or lockouts on Inter-
state railroads pending efforts by the
Federal Board of Mediation and Con-
ciliation to settle differences and n
bill which would give the President
power to operate railroads for mill
tary purposes when their functions
are suspended or hindered
Measures affecting interstate COM
merce were introduced today by Sen
ators Underwood and Townsend. but
they probably will not be considered
by the committee this week. Senator
Underwood's bill proposes to give the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
power to fix wages and hours of labor
of interstate railroad employees and
authority to act In such matters on It's
own initiative or on application of the
public, the employees, or the railroads
Senator Townsend's measures would
authorize investigation of railroad
controversies including matters of
wages, hours, employment and condi-
tons, bly, a presidential commission.
If the Senate Committee determines
to favor these measures it may infiu-
ence the investigation of general
transportation problems now under
way by a joint Congressional Com
mittee. This investigation, members
say, can not be we'll concluded for a
year and an effort may be made to
concentrate now on bills already be-
fore Congress and postpone investiga-
ton of questions of government own
ership or more exclusive Federal con-
trail, until after adjournment next
March.
