GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATING RAILROADS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2t. - Congres. sional investigation into the broad question of government regulation and control Of railroads and other com mon carriers, suggested by President Wilson in his opening address to the last session, has begun here before a joint committee Of senators and representatives.
 Although the investigation was au- thoribed before the threatened strike by the four great brotherhoods, the investigation will go into the ques- ione which came up at that time such as regulation Of wages by the Inter state Commerce Commission and leg islation to prevent a similar situation
 Questions which the investigators will take up go to the heart of the transportation problem and the in Quiry probably will have a potent in rluence in congress on the subject of government and ownership.
 At the hearings it is expected that all the leading railroads. telegraph telephone and wireless concerns and express companies as we'll as econo- mists, leaders of labor and agriculture, shippers and bankers will be heard
 The committee is required to report to congress by January S, and an eff fort may be made to put through legis- latton before the session ends on March 1, after which the admiuistra- ton will not have it's present major fly in the house.
 The resolution for the investigation came at the conclusion of many months of effort on the part of rail roads and others interested in ques- tions affecting them, to have a com prehensiye mqniryw into all phases of government control

Power was given the com mittce to sit during a recess of cen gress and to summon witnesses and to call on government agencies for assistance. The sum of $24.000 was appropriated for expenses.
 Under the resolution the following members were named on the commit tee: Senators Newlands (chairmanl. Robinson, Underwood, Cummins and Brandegee; Representative Adamson. Sims, Cullop, Esch and Hamilton, all coming from the Interstate Commerce committees of the two houses.
 In it's announcement of the hear ings the committee said it would con sider the subjects as follows:
