members of the Hayes-Blair Parent

Early Consideration Expected
to Be Given 1t in Extra
Session.
BOTH HOUSES INTERESTED
Radical Steps May Be Taken
Should WaIkout Occur Dur
ing National Crisis.

Acute interest promises to be given
to railroad legislation in the forth
coming extra session by reason of the
threatened strike on leading railroads
of the United States.
While mutterings OF trouble now
indicate the strike may break before
the extra session of Congress opens
in any event it is expected beth
houses will not lose much time in
proceeding to consider railroad meas
ures.
In the short session the President
urged Congress to enact bills having
relation to prospective trouble be-
tween the railroads and their en-
ployes. One Of these bills provided
for the compulsory Investigation Of
such disputes, and the President
urged that it further provide that
strike or lockout be prohibited pend
ing the inquiry. This is the prin-
ciple OF the Canadian disputes act.
But Congress showed much indispo-
sition to adopt the Canadian princi-
pie, and the President did not seek
to force the issue. The result was
llAdl HOlAlhe No6N1OhC o@ae
no legislation along this line enacted.
Measure Came to Nothing.
Furthermore, the President wanted
legislation which would under certain
circumstances in war or grave emer-
gency give him power to take over
the roads and operate them. After a
great deal of seesawing, this measure
came to nothing.
Another bill which failed was one
to enlarge the Interstate Commerce
Commission, although this is not i'm
portant so far as relates to threatened
railroad strike troubles or threatened
war.sand involves chiefly the PROPOSE
tion whether the commission would
be more effective in administering the
Interstate commerce laws II its men,
bership was increased and II could
divide its work up by groups.
The conditions are such that a
strike may have been declared on a
large number OF roads before Con-
gress meets in extra session. In that
case, the President, in order to pre-
vent general paralysis of industry,
may have to take radical steps to
keep transportation moving.
But whether this eventuates or not.
the indications are that the recogni-
tion of the possibility of trouble be-
tween the roads and their employee
and this at a time when war is threat
ened, will induce Congress to enact
important railroad laws speedily.
May Bring Speedy Legislation. =,
Should the railroad employees
strike at this time, taking advantage
of the absence Of Congress from
Washington and of the fact the ma
tion is on the brink of war, the re-
suit is likely to be not only speedy
legislation relating to strike investi-
cations, when Congress meets, but Il
may go farther than the employees
relish
1t was predicted today in some
quarters that the Canadian principle
would gain many new adherents IL a
tie-up were brought about under the
present circumstances. The fact that
the eight-hour law is pending in the
Supreme Court, and that IL Is widely
understood the employees stand
good show to have the law upheld,
are factors which will increase the
feeling Of Congressional and official
impatience II a strike comes now.

and Non.Strikers.

Clarence p. King, president OF the
Washington Railway and Electric

to his offices at Fourteenth and c
streets. northwest in his Limousine.
He failed to discover any intimidat-
ing communications in his mail. In
the batch Of letters were a number
from stockholders compIimenting him
on his stand in the controversy, and
assuring him of their support in any
stand that he might take. Letters
from non-striking employees, assuring
him OF their loyalty, were included.
Amused Over Note.
Mr.. King showed considerable
amusement over a brief note receiv-
ed from a Government employe, who
after saying 1t had been his habit
to pay one cash fare to the company
daily, said he had decided to walk
in the future rather than patronize
the corporation.
During the morning, Mr.. King was
in conference with different COM
pany officials. He greeted news
paper men cordially and spoke free
ly concerning all phases OF the
strike
He reiterated his determination not
to recognize the Amalgamated Asso-
citation. declaring the company would
be successful in replacing the strik-
ing employees with a new force Of
men.
