with present congestion in the
East will take weeks. McAdoo's
organization must be completed
and will need time to make Its
plans.
Many steps must wait on con-
gressional sanction. This legis-
lation is being framed today to
cover the finances and intricate
legal problems resulting from
the change to government con-
troll.
This legislation will include:
Congressional authorization to
compensate the railroads annu-
ally on a basis of the net operat-
ing income of the last three years.
Appropriations for new ware
houses and other needed I'M
provements.
Authorization for steps the gov
eminent must take to unity the
system further than McAdoo has
yet gone or to legalize some steps
he may take in the emergency.
Laws to protect the travelling
and shipping public from losses
now borne by the railroads them
selves.
1t is the belief OF constitutional
lawyers that travellers apd ship
pers today have no recourse for
damages suffered in railroad &C
cidents or delays.
While the president will get
exactly what he wants from con-
gress, there will be spirited
fight against his plan for COM
pensating the railroads on basis
of their last three years net OPP
Grating income. A group of SEN
ators, led by Cummins, Iowa,
think the compensation should
be based on a flat per cent of
the average market value Of
stocks during the last five years.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec.
31.-DirectOr General Nc
Adoo will pay his 100000
railroad employees more
money.
This has been definitely AGREED
upon between President Wilson
and leaders Of the four great
brotherhoods and will cover In
creases for all employees, whether
members of the brothrhoods or
not, but will not meet the full 40
per cent increase demanded by the
men.
At a conference today between
McAdoo and the U. S. board of
mediation and Cancellation, a
basis of increase was expected to
be determined.
This question, together with
action to relieve congestion at the
ports Of New York and Newport
News, now bearing the brunt of
the heavy export freight ship
ments, is occupying McAdoo's at
tention, to the exclusion of other
problems now.
His plan Is to divert much of
this freight to Boston and Phila-
delphia. The long haul of
freight from the central part of
the country, for which the east
ern roads have been actively bid
ding, will be eliminated entirely,
and many such shipments will go
to New Orleans and other south
ern ports which have been prac-
tically idle.
McAdoo's order No. 1, pooling
equipment and terminals in one
national system, disregarding
corporate advantage, remains to
be worked out.
McAdoo is already turning his
attention to financing, shipments
in terminals and equipment. Some
OF the 1900 locomotives under
order in American plants by for
eign governments will be requisi-
toned.
Some lines will be stripped of
engines and freight cars, which
will be placed into service in con-
gested territory.
Many passenger coaches will be
converted into freight cars. Ad-
ditional terminal facilities and
storehouses will be constructed
at tidewater ports and at the big
inland railway centers.
Government officials today ask
ed the public to be patient with
federal control. New trucks, en-
gines, freight cars and terminals
must be built Priorities must be
revised. Re-routing will require
careful thought. To do away

WATERS
RECEDE
RAPIDLY

The crest of the high water in
the valley had passed Monday, ac-
cording to Engineer Roberts of
the inter county river Improve
ment work.
The Puyallup river is down to
the six foot stage, dropping four
feet since Sunday. After drop
ping slightly Saturday, 1t reached
the high point Sunday, and then
rapidly reCeded.
The Pierce-Thurston county
bridge over the Nisqually river on
the Olympic highway, which was
soon to have been replaced by a
concrete structure, went out early
Sunday morning.
A log jam caused q wash-out
in the Pierce county side. The
Thurston county end was left on
its supports, but may drop into
the river at any time. The
bridge was about 200 feet long.
Traffic has npen detoured over
the Brown bridge.
Bridge Goes Out.
The county commissioners were
greatly worried Monday over the
flood situation. Since the Mis-
qually bridge fell all traffic has
been over the Brown bridge. This
bridge is now in danger of being
washed away, altho men have
been working there with stand
bags for the past three days.
The work on the new Nisqually
bridge will begin immediate>y.
The bridge will be Of steel and
will cost about $4,000. 1t will
probably take all summer to COM
plete it.
Want River Changed.
In a letter to Commissioner
O'Farrell Saturday the Puget
Sound Eectric railway asked the
assistance of the county in chang
ling the Puyallup river back to its
old course, which has been
changed since the flood. If the
river continues in the course it is
following now the transportation
company will have to build new
steel bridge and the Puyallup
Short line will not run for some
time, Ii is commended.
The mayor Of Puyallup sent a
call to the county Monday morn
ing for help in the protection of
the North Puyallup bridge, where
a large boom of logs were being
whirled against the bridge, greatly
endangering 1t. A number of
men were sent out Immediately.
Little damage to the Puyallup
river Improvement work is report
cd. Seven bridges over the river
are intact, says Engineer Roberts.
To the drift barrier and the
dredging of the lower channel is
given a large part of the credit
for preventing enormous damage.
