TRAFFIC COMMITTEE PROTESTS AGAINST
 ZDNE RATE SCALE

Conforming the proposed zone rate scale for railroads, a resolution last night was adopted by the traffic com- mittee of the chamber of commerce. Arrangements also were made at that time to establish a permanent traffic bureau to deal with similar situations which may arise in the future.
 The meeting, with Roy S. Goodrich presiding as chairman, was attended by representatives of practically every industry that, would be affected by the increase in freight rates which the zone system contemplates. The reso- ution opposing the measure was dis cussed at length and adopted unani- mously.
 Preparations were then made for the institution of a traffic bureau to meet future crises. To this end, a com mittee of 15 members is to be appointed for the purpose of formulating a plan for such an organization. The ap- pointment of this subdivision is to be made in the course of the next two or three days. The delay is due to the fact it is desired to have on this con- mittee a representative of every in- 5ustry ill the valley.
 Following is the resolution protest Ing against the proposal of the railroad administration to enforce the con- templated legislation:
 WHEREAS, in December, 1917, the Congress of the United States enacted certain legislation authorizing and em- towering the president to take over operate, and control the railways and , transportation lines of the nation. i in the judgment of theApresident sucf action seemed essentisl for the sue

LABOR CONGRESS- TO
 KEEP ID ONE ISSUE
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27-The la Dor congress to be held in Chicago Jan uary 14 for consideration of the Thom- as J. Mooney case, will confine its ac- tion to the main issue and there will be no consideration of labor policies that do not deal directly with Mooney and other defendants in the San Francisco preparedness day explosion.
 This was emphasized today in a statement by Edward Nolan, secretary of the San Francisco branch of the In- ternational Workers defense league, who said that letters from unions which had elected delegates to the Mooney congress had expressed oppo- sition to any suggestion for the forma- tion during the congress of a labor po- litical party, or any action tending to ward the direction of a general labor policy.
 Delegates from the Amalgamated Sheet Steel and Tin Workers union of Canton. Ohio, have been instructed to urge a resC-ltion that May 1. 1919, be set by the congress as the date for a general strike unless by that tim, Mooney has been freed.

have grossly failed TO measure up to
our moral duty" The speaker went
on to declare that our only hope of
winning the war was in being able TO
keep the allies in the field for another
year. which makes II incumbent upon
US to supply the food necessary to
maintain our fighting armies. He
dwelt at length upon the shipping
problem, declaring that bigger pro-
gram was necessary. lie insisted
also that our unparalleled extravag-
