new CRISIS TO APPEAR
IF ADAMSON ACT FAILS
Situation Will Be Same a, That Last
August. Says Brotherhood Leader.

(By the International News service)
Philadelphia, Pa, Jan E.-"If the
Adamson act Is found unconstitutional
and the brotherhoods threaten strikes
to enforce their original demands the
country will face the same situation that
1t did the last week in August" declared
Elisha Lee tonight. Mr.. Lee Is chairman
OF the National Conference Committee
OF the railways.
IF the government had the power to
regulate the greatest single item in the
expense OF operating the roads, there
would at least be assurance that a s50,-
10000 or a 100000 a year increase in
the wages of only one-sixth of the en-
ployes would not be forced upon the rail-
roads without a full and impartial re-
view OF all the facts.
The immediate problem confronting the
nation is what provision must be made
for a decision adverse 20 the Adamson
act and to the power of Congress to
regulate wages. The leaders of the
train organizations assert that any re-
strction on their rights to- strike means
involuntary servitude.' But unless there
Is some such restriction on the right to
strike, pending investigation the public
will be permanently in a condition of
involuntary servitude to these or
ganizations."

THORNY LIFE, THIS!

Denver, Colo, Jan. T.-Robert Harris
of Denver, member of the assembly OF
Colorado, is a valiant man. Harris is in
a business that requires him to travel

of this fact, in the last legislature he in

Immediately, the legislator says, he was

CONGRESS MAY PRESCRIBE
MAXIMUM HOTEL CHARGES

While the House passed without debate
tne Dill appropriating $4,000 to defray
the expenses Of both branches of Con-
gress at the Inauguration. there were
persistent rumors in the corridors Of
the capitol and in the House Ofice
Buiidins last night that some investiga-
ton by Congress may be made with ref
erence to hotel Accommodations for the
ceremonies
A number of members who yesterday
sought accommodations for political
deiegations and personal friends were
confronted with the price rate of SIS q
day at most of the hostelries. The price
was 80 general in many of the larger

that the Jones-Works law and the

addition. they point to the increased cost

The demand for Accommodations futher-

DEMAND FOR GRAYFISH
GREATER Than SUPPLY

Canned grayfsh is the latest product
put in the market to tempt the tastes of
the most fastidious.
Since the introduction of Grayfsh as
a food last November. the demand has
increased so rapidly that now it is ten
fold the available supply, according to
the Department of Commerce. Canned
grayfish is one of the forms adopted to
meet the enormous demand.
Experiments by the Bureau of Fisheries
show that can of grayfish provides
about the same quantity of nutriment as
can of medium-g grade salmon, but
contains a little less protein and a little
more fat.
An interesting discovery is that this
food is entirely free from uric acid, small
quantities of which are found in all
meats, in other fishes, and in all poultry.
