LONDON, Jan. 4-Compulsory

to Lord Rhondda, the food controller,
speaking at Silverton yesterday

on its way, and then declared that
his department had completed a

HENDERSON MAYED SENATOR
ENGLISH R. R. METHOD
TOLD BY SEN. HOLLIS


WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Senator
Hollis, in a speech to the senate to-
day, explained the English method
of meeting the transportation crisis
by assuming the control of all rail-
roads Immediately after England en-
tered the war.
He said England guaranteed the
stockholders the same earnings as
paid during the year preceding the
war, while under plan of concilia-
tion and arbitration wages were in
creased through war bonuses, with
due regard to the increased cost of
living.
He said strikes had proved un-
necessary, with the result that the
employees maintained the good will
of both the public and the govern
ment Railway mems unions, he said,
acted throughout in patriotic man
ner, basing their claims for advances
in bonuses on living conditions and
not "on the power to prevent the
operation of the railroads"

compensation at the rate of the

already been embodied in the admin

onehalf billion dollars to use as a
