 portion of the stock on which divi- dcnds were paid. Yet in spite of the scented by the watered stocks carried
 by most of the companies. they still made huge dividends until the eight
 hour law enforced a greatly increased
 burden of operative costs.
 The roads have now reached q point
 where they must find a way of merg-
 ing their interests. thereby effecting
 reduction in the immense overhead ex- pcnsc costs carried, or else divest
 themselves of the equally impossible
 burden Of watcrcd stocks and other 'hctitiously created values on which div
 idcnds must be paid. Judging from
 the Interstate Commerce Commissions
 reports of it's recent railroad investiga- tions, the roads with few exceptions, are all having mighty hard struggle
 10 make ends meet. although the gen
 cr.,l volume of railroad business is
 greater than ever before in the his-
 tory of the country. During the course
 of the Investigations. several of the
 best railroad men of the nation ad-
 mitted that the situation is such that
 government operation is the only solu-
 ton to the difficulties with which the
 roads are confronted .at the same time
 pointing out that the government could
 bring the roads under closer manage ment, centralze control and bring about 1 reduction of operating expenses inn possible for the railroads to achieve under competitive operation. When railroad men themselves are willing to admit that government control is the only panacea it is no more than rcas- enable to suppose that the roads are not greatly unwilling for the govern ment to take over the management of their systems. Facing inevitable on the one hand and gov ernment opera'io on the other they are doubles willing enough to escape the struggle for solvcncy by turning their roads ov". t) Uncle sam Such l course mems ua' the days of fat melons will be over. at least for the ! war period. for the government will | run the roads with the idea of making | expenses and interest on the money actually invested instead of with the dea of making dividends for the bene- i it of the stock holders

Representative Rainey AS
sails New Draft as Plac-
ing Burden on Poor
Hot Fight Expected
House to Insist That 1900.
900 Be Raised and Income
Levy Restored

Washington, July 3.-Predictions of
a bitter fight in conference between
the House and Senate over the war
revenue bill unless drastic changes
are made by the Senate in the draft
its Finance Committee reported to-day,
were made tonight by Representative
Rainey, ranking Democratic member of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Primarily, Mr.. Rsiney said. the total
of the Senate draft, s1.67O,OOO,OOO
must be raised. The House, he be-
lieves, will insist on the measure car
rying at least the Sl,S0O,O00,O00
originally proposed, on the ground that
Congress has no right to mortgage the
future TO any greater extent than by
the $1,000, 100000 of war bonds al
ready authorized.
Mr.. Raney declared the Senate
measure was a rich mans bill, and
that the House would stand pat on a
demand that the burden be transferred
from the shoulders of the poor.
Says Bill Favors Rich
From the wealthy mans viewpoint"
he said. "the Senate draft certainly is
an excellent measure. II would lift in
come, automobile, retroactive income
and other taxes from the wealthy and
settle the burden on tea, sugar, cocoa
and other necessaries used in every
home. cannot believe that there will
not be changes made on the floor"
The Lenroot amendment, greatly in
creasing taxes on incomes above
$4,000. adopted by the House, but
stricken out by the Senate commit
tee. is almost certain to be restored,
Mr.. Rainey believes.
Perhaps the most illogical proposal
Of ALL" he declared. 'is the publishers
tax. Why should he pay an income,
excess profits and special tax too ?"
Unsatisfactory as the Senate draft
is. however. the House leaders say 1t
still can be made the subject of con-
ference.

Men for Aiding Union
Counsel Adds, However, That
Dismissals Help Work

Louis Fridiger, counsel for the Anal
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees, charged
yesterday that three more men had
been discharged for their connection
with the movement to unionize the en-
ployes of the Third Avenue system.
They discharged three more men to-
day" said FridIgeI, "for the crime Of
attending last nights meeting. That
shows how the company feels about
this thing. Instead of disheartening
the men this sort of thing works the
other way. Il is helping the work of
organizing"
There was another all-night organiz-
ing session of the association in Hi
bernian Hall, 2l1 East Forty-ffth
Street, with William b. Fitzgerald,
Frank O'Shea and Mr.. Fridiger the
principal speakers.
Mr. Fitzgerald said yesterday that
demands of the men will be presented
to the Third Avenue.
At the Offices OF the Third Avenue
line yesterday Edward Maher. its pres
ident. was inaccessible. An official
stated that the company was awaiting
the demands of the men before taking
action.

Reeves Faces New
Trial for Forgery
LAWYER Sentenced for Brook
Iyn Larceny Must Await
Bronx Indictment

Herbert Reeves, former counsel &c
the Model Building and Loan Associa-
ton of The Bronx, who was recently
sentenced in Brooklyn 20 from three
to six years in Sing Sing for grand
larceny. must delay beginning his term
until after he has been tried in The
Bronx on indictments charging forgery
in the first degree and grand larceny in
the first and second degrees.
Supreme Court Justice Pendleton
made this decision yesterday after lis
tening to arguments b. Reeves's coun-
sci. Herbert c. Smythe. and Assistant
District Attorney Work OF The Bronx.
When Reeves was sentenced District
Attorney Martin obtained a writ OF
habeas corpus calling for his appear
ance N The Bronx to answer the IN
dictments against him. Since then ne
has been in The Bronx County prison
A week ago his lawyer obtained an
other writ. in an effort 70 compel the
District Attorney to permit Reeves 10
serve his sentence IN Sing Sing.
This writ was argued before Supreme
Court Justice Pendleton yesterday.
Smythe claimed Bronx County had no
right to try mis- client until he had
served his sentence. Assistant District
Attorney Work opposed this, saying
that the charge upon which Reeves was
convicted in Brooklyn was less serious
than those facing him in The Bronx.
Justice Pendleton agreed with him, but
told Smythe that re had recourse 20
the Appellate Division. il ne felt that
his clients rights were being inter
