four steps to meet the situation raised

Amendment OF the statute provid-
ing for mediation in railroad wage
disputes by a provision for a thor

Authorizing the President to take
over the railroads in case Of o tieup

COTTONSEED BAGS EXPENSIVE

washington, May 22.-The ex-
pense and trouble of using bags in
handling and marketing cotton seed
outweigh any advantage bags may
give in reducing the loss from careless
handling of this crop, according to
cottonseed specialists o. the United
States department OF agriculture.
They therefore recommend the use
of bays only in special cases, as for
planting seed. less than carload ship
ments, and for rivslr transportation.
In such cases the bags protest and
facilitate handling. Careful studies.
however, show that in handling cot
ton seed in large quantities the first
cost of the bags. coupled with the
fact that thsy G:te.i or1te quickly and
have to be kept in repair, makes
them too expensive
Shipping in bags involve an extra
cost and labor in filling, emptying,
and Weighing. and makts accurate
sampling more difficult. Time is
lost in emptying seed from bags. as
loose locks of cotton and burs tend
to make the seed cling to the bagging.
Thrsnd from the mouth of the bag
also often gets mixed with the seed,
catches in the conveying and clean
ing machinery. and causes choke-ups
and delays.

TEXAS & PACIFIC
CONTENTION UPHELD

Washington, May 22.-The action
OF the federal district court for north
ern Texas in dismissing for want of
jurisdiction the suit Of the Texas &
Pacific Railway company and the
New Orleans Pacific Railway compa-
ny, and for the foreclosure of sec
ond mortgage on the two roads, was
affirmed today by the supreme court.
Justice Vandeventer for the unani-
nous court, held. that the district
court had been deprived of jurisdic-
ton in the case because of the federal
law of 1915 which provided that fed
eral courts should not have jurisdic-
ton over certain causes in which a
federal corporation was al party by
reason merely of the corporation be-
ing incorporated under law of the
United States. He also held 1t had
not been shown the company was a
citizen of Texas. but merely OF the
United States.
