MEMBERS RETURN TO WASHING
TON AFTER HOLIDAYS, READY
FOR HARD WORK ON AcCu-
LATION OF LEGISLATION. &
FIGHT ON ADAMS0N LAW s.
II MAY MEAN EXTRA SESSION
Attitude of Brotherhood Officials Is
Known to Be Antagonistic to Presi-
dents Program-Revenue Deficit
Looms up-Appropriation Meas
ure to Be First Action.

Washington, Jan. .2.-Congressrnen
are back in Washington from their
Christmas holiday, prepared to get
down to hard work on the accumula-
ton Of legislation that must be dealt
with before adjournment, March 4.
Appropriation measures will be con-
sidered in the Senate Immediately, the
Indian bill probably being first. Com
m1ttees are paving the way for con-
sideration Of railroad measures, cor
rupt practices bill and other general
legislation.
The House, which already has pass
ed five appropriation bills, still has
nine more to work and will approach
it's task vigorously with night sessions
in prospect for the near future
Z Extra Session Not Favored.
Returning members who were re-
elected do not look with favor toward
an extra session and declare they are
willing to work night and day to avert
one. They insist that none will be nee
essary unless action on the railroad
legislation should be- held up lftn z
Upon the reconvening of Congress
chief interest.will center in hearings
before the Senate Commerce commit
tee on President Wilson's recommen-
dations for legislation to supplement
the AdamsOn law, which was enacted
to become effective January 1, and the
constitutionality of which will be ar
gued in the supreme court next week
Representatives of the railroad
mems brotherhoods, the railroads of
the country and the public have been
invited before the committee to ex-
press their views.
The attitude of the brotherhood Of
ficials is known to be antagonistic to
the Presidents recommendation that
Congress enact law that would make
railroad strikes unlawful pending Pc
riod Of investigation by an official
board of inquiry, should mediation by
a board of Cancellation fail to settle
threatened trouble.
Railroad employees say that such "a
law, modelled after the Canadian dis
putes act, would mean compulsory ar
bitration and involuntary servitude
anu tnaL IL WOuIu operate as legal
ban on the right to strike.
Compulsory Investigation.
An alternative suggestion is expect
ed in the form of a law which would
provide for compulsory investigation,
but which would not deny the right to
strike pending outcome of an inquiry.
Besides the original arbitration and
strike prevention bill the committee
also will have before it a proposal by
Senator Underwood which would give
the Interstate Commerce commission
the right to fix wages and the condi-
tons of employment Of railway work
ers.
AS the time for the hearings ap-
proaches, with the President urging
haste, opposition to the general leg
islative scheme is developing in both
branches Of Congress, as to arouse
misgivings whether anything can be
accomplished by March 4. If nothing
is done some members Of Congress be-
lieve the President may call an extra
session to deal with the problem.

ASK SIAIt III GUARU CAMPS
iLUMBERMEN APPEAL TO COVER.
NOR FOR PROTECTION.
Would Prevent Activities by |. w. w.
Agitators Alleged to Be Driving
Men Away from Work.

st. Paul, Jan. Representative Of
lumber companies operating in the
northern part of the state, have. an
nounced that they will ask of Cover
nor Burnquist the establishment of an
armed guard around their many camps.
This will be asked to prevent further
activities by band Of l. w. w. agita-
tors, alleged to be armed and to be
driving lumberjacks away from the
scene of their operations. #
Conditions Decidedly Critical.
conditions at present" said Mr..
Backus of the International Lumber
company, ARE decidedly critical. These
agitators have been operating for more
than month and many hundred men
have been driven from their work.
Unless there is some change soon,
there is going to be scarcity of print
paper and lumber from these mills
next season.
Zone day of idleness for our lumber
jacks now means more to us than, 90
or more days of idleness in March
We must be permitted to get out all
the saw logs and wood pulp this month
that is possible or there is not going
to be enough to keep the mills run
ming when they begin spring opera
TONS"
Men Want to Work.
Mr.. Backus said the I. w. w. agita-
tors, by show of firearms, have fore
ed their call for a general discontinue
ance Of work through the north woods
camps. Man" camps already have
been closed and more may be forced
to close at any time, Mr.. Backus as
serted. ,rl.,.Ie t.nI e.-.s. .i...e< .....
It is said that approximately 80 per
cent of the men are willing to return
to their work if they can be assured
that they will not be attacked by the
/. W.. w. forces, There have been no
clashes yet, but they are momentarily
feared should the men endeavor to
renew operations.
