Me asure Supplementing
Adamson Law Provides
for Prohibition of Force in
Railroad Strikes.

Washington, Feb. 9.-After many
weeks consideration, the senate inter-
state commerce committee today APP
proved and reported to the senate
bill to supplement the Adamson rail-
road law, providing for investigation
of controversies on common carriers
and giving the president authority to
take over railroad, telegraph and tele-
phone lines In times of military neces-
sity.
There is no prohibition in the meas
ure against the right to strike or lock-
out to which the railroad brothcrhoods
have vigorously objected, but there is
a provision to prevent obstruction of
the mails or interstate commerce.
Chairman Newlands expects to call
the bill up as soon as possible. 1t
is much like that introduced in the
house earlier in the week and may be
passed at the present session. 1t is
expected to meet the views of the add
parent that more stringent bill viz
tually would have no chance in getting
through before adjournment.
Procedure in Dispute.
Under the terms of the BILL when
| the present federal mediation and con-
ciliatiof board fails to settle a rail
| road labor controversy the president
! shall enlarge the board by the addi-
| ton of one representative of the car
riers and one of the men. The en-
| larged boards report shall be made
within three months and contain rec
concentrations according to the merits
and substantial justice of the case"
which shall be published.
| Prohibition Of Force.
| The prohibition section makes it u
misdcmcanOrR punishable with six
months Imprisonment for any person
who knowingly and wilfully by physi-
cal force or threats or intimidation
| obstructs or rctards the passage OF
| United States mail or the orderly
movement of interstate or foreign com
mcrce or the makeup or disposition OF
any train.
The military necessity section pro-
Sidcs that in case of actual or threat
cncd war, Instruction or invasion OF
any emergency recurring the transport
tation of troops. military equipmcn
and supplies of the United States. tht
president, when the public safety re
quires, may take possession of ncces
! sary parts of telegraph and telephone
lines and railroad and draft their Off
GERS and employees into the fedora
service. Any damage sustained in thi
connection would be assessed by tn
Interstate commerce commission.
Any person refusing to be drafted o
who Injuries or destroys such proper l.
or interfercs with its use when in fed
eral hands would be subject to fiv
years Imprisonment.

"Leak" Investigators Will
See What Congressman
Did in Market.
NEWSPAPER MEN HELD
CONFIDENCE SECRETl
Testimony Before Committee
Shows That Reporters
Held Tongues.

New York. Feb. Stock exchange
accounts held by members Of congress
will be examined by the leak in
quiry committee as result OF
Washington brokers' testimony today
that certain representatives have trad
ed through him.
The account of every member as
revealed by brokers' books will be In
spcctcd privately and if there Is any.
suspicion that official information has
been utilized in trading, public investi- 1
cation Of the transaction will be in
augurated.
Most 'of the local brokers records
are now In possession of the commit !
tee and supplemental accounts will be
obtained in New York when hearings
are resumed there next week.
Few speeutations.
George B. Chapman, Washington
manager for Hartman & Co, New
York brokers, was the man who testi-
fled that members of the house had
been trading with him. He declared.
however, that most of the accounts
were investments rather than specu-
lations; that he did not think any rep
resentativcs traded through him dur
ing the peace note leak" period of
the week of December 20. and he was
positive none of them sold short in
that time He expressly stated that
no senators had any accounts with
him.
When W. Il. Hibbs, another local
broker, was asked if any member of
congress had accounts with him ne
said his full records would answer the
question. Eugene L. Thompson, man
ager Of the Crane Harris & Co, brok-s
crigc office, denied that any member
of congress had accounts with his
firm.
Hearings May Be Over.
Further activities of the committee
depend largely on the results OF IN
vestigation into congressional ac-
counts. If evidence warranting eX-
tended inquiry is unearthed, an OK
tension in the committees time for
making a report on its Investigation,
now set for February II. will be asked
otherwise the committee probably will
bring in report late next week after
working a day or two" in New YORK.
| Present PLANS are to hold no more
hearings here.
Aside from Interrogation OF brokers
today, the hearing was given over to
the examination of newspapermen ana
employees of the government printing
office. None of them gave informa-

present perpleNitics Of transportation
is a unified system Of railroads, in
stead of tho diversified interests that
are continually warning each Other.
not to give better service TO the public.
but to get the best of each other. He
also suggests the anomaly that ut
present obtains where freight car
weighs as much as the load it carries.
and where passenger cars also cary
feather loads in comparison with their
own weight. And there is the waste
Of energy and wear on the freight
car that. travels two.thirdS full AMI
generally returns empty.
The incongrui;y OF this feature Of
the situation is made palmer by Mr..
Ford's query: Who would carry
home % pounds Of flour IN Il hundred
pound market basket" Who, indeed,
would Yet that is what The. railroads
are practically doing day in and day
out. And the only remedy they have
been able to suggest is al increase
Of freight rates. Truly. Mr.. Ford has

about. He seems 20 be Daniel come

MR.. FoRD'S CLEAR ANALYSIS

:" Henry Ford's vision in some dlrec-
lions has been faulty. but there can be
no question as to its clearness when
applied to the economic conditions al
Yecting the railroads of the country
and their relations to the industrial!
efficiency OF the land. No one who
mas read his recent interview on the
complex situation of the transpoirta-
Zion problem can help but appreciate
ehe intelligent grasp he has on the
Causes which have Contributed TO &
.aear-national calamity. Mr.. Ford ap-
BEARS to have struck at one Of. the
chief roots of the Accommodations Of the
evils affecting railroad management in
pointing out that it has been donlin-
-ated toe largely BY the banker-mana-
gers instead Of being directed By tech
.nically trained men-presidents and
managers who gi:e more thought to
security values instead Of devoting
their energies 10 eliminating waste
and improving equipment. The COM
potency OF these observations will at
once be conceded.
With clear and incisiye analysis.
Mr.. Ford goes into the waste and de-
probation of railroad properties,
which IS the great drain on the re-
sources OF the corporations. They
never think of correcting the drain en-
cept through appeals for increased
yates. Mr.. Ford's observation tina.
America is land Of great distances.
and the grcat demand for our pcrtna-
ef1ent welfare is cheap. easy travelling
land efficient, inexpensive freight serr-
See is quite appealing. They are
necessities TO the. Nealthfrl pro-
sfnouoa Of and the prosperity We
