Ownership Looming Ahead as All
Concerned Will Insist on 1t.

Washington, Dec. 29-The rail-
roads have definitely refused the de-
mand of their organized employees for
40 per cent. increases in pay and have
turned the responsibility entirely to
the government. f
The railway executives here today
in letting their decision be known
made no concealment of their feeling
that government operation is a step
toward government ownership and
made clear they felt the public and
the stockholders would demand it.
At the same time it became known
the railroads had refused the brother
hoods demands. it was learned that
the railway workers had decided not
to press their request for. period of
at least 80 days or until it is seen just
what the railroad situation will be.

Paris, Dec. 29.-The debate on the
bill authorizing the government to
prepare lists OF men in the class 1919

to the government to carry on the war
and he asked the chamber to give him
the means.
Cen. Petain, the commander-in-
chief, had asked for a certain num-
ber Of men to carry on urgently need
ed work on cantonments beh1nd the

It was his purpose to detail to this
work German prisoners, the Rus-

It was developed that Samuel Kap-
Ian, a member Of one OF. the supply

1t was further developed that his
brother was treasurer Of the Mill

Senator Mcclellan asked whether
Emanuel Kaplan, treasurer of the
Millbrook Mill company, was not q
brother Of Samuel Kapla4, a member
OF the supply committee. Gen. Sharpe
said he thought so.
Senator Weeks brought out that on
April 8. Boston wool dealers offered
all their wool to the government at
prevailing prices but the offer never
reached Gen. Sharpe being referred
to the general munitions board by
Secretary Baker. ~ 4%.

Gen. Sharpe insisted there was no
unnecessary delay and that the coun-

been accepted promptly it would
