than so years has been the great
race of the Austrian turf, will this year

state cutting into these funds.

LEE REGRETS ORDER
HALTING R. R. STRIKE
Brotherhood Head Attacks Administra-
ton Program of New Legislation.

w. G. Lee, president OF the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen. voiced the
opposition of his organization before the
House Committee on Interstate Com
merce in unmistakably pertinent and
peppery fashion yesterday.
Il wish to God I had never recalled
that strike order last September" said
Lee at the conclusion OF the hearing in
the course of which he had uttered bit
ter denunciations Of the Presidents pro-
posed supplemental railway legislation.
Along with urging the defeat of the
bill now before the Adamson committee
Lee also declared that the existing law
known as the Newlands act should be
repealed In his opinion it should be sup
planted by a law creating a board of
eight practical men. four from the train
men and four from the operating officials
of the railroad companies.
This expression OF the attitude OF the
railroad workers to the administration
program has served to widen the brea ch
between the President and the working
mems organizations. Lee also disclaimed
that he had initiated or advocated the
passage of the Adamson eight-hour bill
last year.
