WILL NOT ACT ON R. R.
 QUESTION BEFORE XMAS
President Will Probably Appear Be fore Congress After Holiday
 t} Recess.

Washington, Dec. 17. President Wilson will not act on the railroad problem before the Christmas recess of congress-. It was authoritatively stated today that he probably will take his plan for the solution to con- gress immediately after the holidays.
 In spite of persistent reports that one plan or another has been decided upon, there apparently is nothing to indicate the president has confded his position to anyone. Most of his ad- visers believe that he will adopt some measure of government control of railroads greater than that now ex- ercised, and that the federal adminis- trator will be named. In the senate today, Senator Borah protested against the proposed Christmas re- cess, insisting that congress should stay in Washington and act on the railway problem. Senator Smith of Arizona demanded that Senator Be- rah produce bill remedying the sit uation if congress was to remain in session. When Senator Smith sug- gested that certain enemies of the na- tion were largely responsible for the present tie-up of food and fuel SUD- plies, Senator Borah declared he did not agree with him at all. Sc said in part:
 "There probably are men in this country who would like to do what the senate says they have done, but they are flaw. and none of them are in po- sition where they could so act"
