FIRST TO JOIN ISSUES

In an effort to expedite the investfga-

the Senate investigating committee to-
day transmitted to representatives OF
the strikers and the railway company
letters calling upon them to file COM
plant and answer with the committee.
The Senate committee believes that in
this way it will be possible to join the
issues and confine the hearing to those
issues. eliminating extraneous matter.

day for treatment. He is said not to
be seriously ill. however, and will prob
ably take up the work with the COM

the letter expressing the views Of the
committee which was sent to George
A. Wilburt. J. W. Pain and NJ. T.
Clarence T. King. president of the rail-
way company. In the letter senator
Pittman said:
The committee believes that the in
vestigation and determination Of the
questions at issue will be greatly IA
cilitated If the procedure followed as
nearly as possible the procedure and
practice in the trial of matters in ju-
dicial courts.
"We. therefore, request the railway
employees as soon as possible to hle
with this committee a written state
ment in the nature of complaint, set
ting forth as briefly as may be their
grounds of complaint and the facts
in support of such complaint.
I'VE believe that the nature of the
controversy requires that the railway
employees first file their complaint: that
the railway company be Immediately
furnished by the committee with a copy
of this complaint and that it then file
it's written statement in the nature of
an answer to the complaint within two
days thereafter; that such answer then

sentatives of the employees and that
they have one day in which to file with
the committee any reply they may de-
sire to make to such answer.

evidence is brought out by the evidence

Later Senator Pittman said that he
did not believe it would be possible to
join the issues and be ready to begin
the hearing before next Monday. He
indicated that soon as the issues
