OPPOSED TO CHANGE
IN LIBRARY SYSTEM
Subcommittee to ReportAgainst
Placing Appointment Power
With Commissioners.

The Boor, Of Trade. at a general
meeting tomorrow night at the VIII
lard. will be asked to so on record rs
orposed TO the proposal that the ap-
pointment and removal of employees OF
the Public Library lie placed In the
hnads of the District Commissioners.
The Public Library committee of the
hoard. ut n melting late yesterday after
noon. adopted a resolution calling ON
the board to express it's disapproval #
the proposed change in the law govern
ing the conduct of the library. ard
reco,nmcuoirg that there bc no change
in the act OF 1896. whereby it is pio-
vided that the trustees OF the Public
Library shall appoint a librarian and
the librarian shall appoint such assist
ants as the. board Of trustees shall deem
necessary to the conduct Of the library.
Miles NJ. Shands. chairman of the
the library committee. will submit the
reDcrt and offer the resolution.
Chairman Ben Johnson Of the House
District Committee introduced, at the
instance of the Commissioner, the
bill to which exception Is taken Dy
the Public Library Committee. II
would vest in the Commissioners the
appoiptive power of all employees anu
give them the sole right to remove
from office. The trustees, the library
committee asserts, would then be
merely an advisory body without any
authority. .
The committee expresses the belief
that the curtailment of power and
the responsibility vested in the trus-
tees would not be in the best interest
of the library. 1t adds that 1t is the
part Of wisdom that this control
should be left In the hands OF repre-
sentatives of the community whose
labors obtained it's creation
Vice President Marshall and Con
sressman James T. Lloyd of Missouri
will address the meeting tomorrow
night and the board viii act on the

RAILWAY MAIL PAY
FIGHT IN CONGRESS
Postoffice Department Would
|. Compute Compensation on
Basis Of Space Occupied.

The old controversy between the Post
office Department and the railroads re-
garding railway mail pay Is being aired
before the House Committee on POST
office, which is now framing the post
office appropriation bill.
The Postoffice Department wants to
compute railway mail pay on the basis
Of the cubic feet of space occupied by
the mails the railroads want a con-
tinuation Of the weight method, with
the proviso that there shall be annual
instead of uuadrennial weighings.
Ralph Peters, president of the Long
Island railroad and chairman of the
railroads committee on railway mail
pay, urged the committee yesterday af-
ternoon to leave the question OF rates
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. He said the railroads must be
considered as a part of the national de-
fense system and ought to be encour-
aged rather than crippled by legisla-
ton.
Mr.. Peters declared the railroads
should receive an increase Of at least
10 per cent over the amount the Gov
ernment ,s now paying for the trans
portation OF the mails.
A large delegation. representative ol
practically the entire railroad interests
of the country. appeared In opposition
To the proposed legislation.
1t was asserted upon behalf OF the
railroads that the Moon bill provides q
scale OF rates so low as TO be virtually
Confiscatory in man. cases.

Dandrufy Heads
Become Hairless

II you want plenty Of thick, beautiful.
glossy. silky hair. do by all means get
rid of dandrun, Tor it will starve voor
hair and ruin 1t IL you don't.
It doesn't do much good TO try TO
brush or wash 1t out. The only sure
way to get rid Of dandruft is to dissolve
It, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces OF ordinary
Iiauid arvon; apply it at night when re-
.iring; use enough to moisten the scalp
ond rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning. most, if not all. of your
dandrufr will be gone, and three or -four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace OF II.
You will find. too. that all itching and
iigsing of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel a hundred times
better. You can get liquid nrvon at any
drug store. 1t Is inexpensive. and fouI
ounces Is all you will need. no matter
how much dandruff you have. This

Issue Should Be Put Before
Competent Tribunal.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-That the in
terests of the whole country are q
stake in the demand for an cight-hou
day which the four great railroad labo
unions are planning to make, and tina
1t Is for the public to furnish the solu
. ton of this great issue between laho
and the railroads. is the opinion which
seems to be held most generally II
railroad circles, where little else is be
ing discussed.
The two chief points emphasized fol
low:
7. The reiterated determination Of
the labor leaders not to submit this
time to arbitration a demand involv-
ing upward of 100000 railroad work
ers and affecting the whole question
of railroad economics and the cost
of living in this country
III. The inability of the present
railroad plant to handle the normal
business OF the 100, ,0O0. 600 persons now
in this country, and the necessity
confronting the railroads of spend
ing at least 81 ,250. 100000 year for
some years to bring this plant up
to the demands of business If living
costs and it's general welfare are
not to be adversely affected.

Although the railroads have not at
all been satisfied with the results of the
recent arbitration awards the feeling
among conservative railroad executives

arbitration would be the proper course
for them to follow providing that 1t
could be done by a competent tribunal

thing like the Interstate Commerce
Com mfssion. whose members would
gradually acquire experience fitting

would undoubtedly welcome il. But the
time would appear to be short in which
to accomplish this.
Eut although this is The attitude of
conservative railroad managers, it is
not the attitude Ct the labor men who
are managing the present camTa!gn,
and therein lies. as the railroad Tnan-

Although the labor representatives

The Trainman does not agree with the
