RAILWAY BILL
NEARLY THRU

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1.
The railroad control bill was in
the hands Of the house and senate
conferees today with every pros
pect of speedy agreement.
AS 1t passed the house late last
night, the bill was as complete a
victory for the administration as
the senate measure. The differ
ences to be settled by conferees
are so slight that 1t is expected
the measure will reach President
Wilson early next week.
Under the house bill, the presi-
dent can fix railroad rates by ex-
ecutive order. He may submit dis
putes to the interstate commerce
commission but Is not bound to
abide by the findings.
Under the senate bill, the presi-
dent can initiate rates and make
them Immediately effective, but
they are subject to review by the
commission.
The house fired the period of
government control after the war
at not more than two years; the
senate at Is months.

TO REPLY
TO JAPAN
iUnited Press Leased wire.,

WASHINGTON, d. c., March
1.-The government is finding
some difficulty in determining
its course toward Japan's sug-
gestion for action in Siberia.
The allies are pressing for an
answer. They are looking solely
to the United. States to decide
whether there shall be Joint
action, lone action by japan or no
steps for the present.
American participation would
probably be extremely small, ex-
tending only to some naval aid.
The American decision il ap-
parently influenced by a desire to
ascertain Germany's probable in
tentions In Russia.
Military men doubt the advis-
ability of such a move.
Russian embassy authorities
Suggest that lone japanese action
would cause trouble, and that II
FACTION is attempted it should be
joint, with a full statement of OBJ
jectives In advance.
The British ambassador, Lord
Reading, called on Secretary Ian
sing today to discuss the Siberian
problem. 1t was understood that
he was Informed the American
position was not yet defined, but
the tenor Of the conference was
unrevealed.
Shortly afterward Lansing
went to the White House for a
conference with President Will
son.

u. S. BUILDS GREAT
RAIL WAY I'M France

into France has been a constantly
increasing one since that time.
Within SIX months Of tho
arrival of the first 100 engi-
neerS abroad, our ENGI-
NEERING FORCES ALONE
IN FRANCE numbered more
than 10000 men.
More than 10000 of these are
men trained in railroad construc-
ton and operation.
Divisional engineer regiments
and their trains make up another
1900.
OF trained foresters, at work
getting out timber from French
forests, more than 5000 are in
France and additional thousands
are ready to go.
Railway shop troops now in
France number more than the
total population, men, women and
children, of the average American
county seat city.
Design New Engine
But in building and equipping
this American railroad in France,
1t has not been a proposition of
simply buying the supplies and
sending them abroad. New types
of equipment have had to be de-
signed to meet conditions existing
In France. French bridges are lo>
and French tunnels small. Grades
are steep. Curves are sharp.
A new type engine was designed
to meet these conditions. Orders
were placed for 9S5 of these loco
motives, and already a consider
able part of this number are pull
ing their loads of supplies from
Jour ports In France to the head
quarters of the "A. e. F." as the
American Expeditionary Force ia
known.
The ordinary French railway
car Is a small continuance. It will
carry only from 10 to Is tons, az
against the so to 75-ton capacity
Of modern American freight cars
American engineers, however
have designed a new car for use
in France which meets all the re-
quirements of the light bridges
and sharp curves, and still will
carry from 40 to so tons.
Nineteen thousand of these cars
will be needed to maintain a
proper flow of supplies for an
army of 100000 men. The first
thousands of them are, there, and
in operation.
u. s. A." Trains Running
Trains of these light-painted
cars, each marked in large letters
"U. s. A." are today weaving
their way across France with their
burdens of men and munitions
visible evidence to the French
people that Uncle Sam means to
do his full share in the war, what
ever labors it may entail or what
ever difficulties stand in his way.
These cars, Of course, are ship
ped knocked down, as are also the
locomotives. The transporting OF
a railroad and equipment com.
parable to that of the Lehigh Val
ley, from America to France, has
placed heavy burden on ship
ping at time when tonnage is
short. But it is part of the Job
to be done, and 1t is being done.
Each locomotive weighs 1861
900 pounds-83 tons-and fills
10 large crates when prepared for

Within a few days after the
declaration Of war, a commission
Of railroad experts was dispatched
to France to study the transporta-
tion problem.
This commission consisted OF
William J. Wilgus, former vice
president and chief engineer of
the New York Central; William
Barclay Parsons, who designed
the original New York subway;
William A. Garrett, former vice
president Of the Chicago Great
Western, and Francois de st.
Phalle, former Sanger of NUM-
tions for the Baldwin Locomotive
works.
These men. working In COOP
Grafton with A. Claveille, French
minister of public works and
transportation, located the ports
to be used for American men and
supplies, and mapped out a route
from those ports to that section of
France where the American head
quarters were to be established.
There was no question of pick
ing and choosing ports already de-
veloped. All such were already
being used to their maximum ca
pacity for the French and Eng
fish.
Some Order!
Neither could the French rail-
roads, despite the fact that they
had been we'll maintained thru
three years of war, handle the ex-
ira burden Of Americas war ma
terials.
The first order that came back
from our railway experts in
France called for 100000 tons of
rails, 100000 ties, 600 miles of
telephone wire, $4,000 freight
cars of type that could be han
died thru French bridges and
tunnels, and for all the railroad
construction men and operators
that could be sent over.

Operation has been simplified
by establishing a system whereby
ALL TRAINS MOVE AT A UNI
FORM SPEED, with certain
fixed Roadway. For instance, to
handle the 10000 tons of supplies
necessary each day for an army of
100000 men, so trains of 500
tons each daily will be required.
Five hundred tons, on the grades
of the French roads, is the maxi
mum that can be depended upon

for equipment of a total of ITO
infantry divisions.
All engineer organizations that
have left for France have had is
sued to them before leaving their
full engineer unit equipment.
On Aug. "a, 1917, orders were
issued to ship engineer equipment
to the various national guard and
national army camps and canton
ments. Two weeks later all this
equipment, totaling $4,000 tons,
had been shipped.
General engineer depots for the
receipt, storage and shipment of

pot covers 125 acres with storage
houses of 100000 square feet floor
space and equipment similar to
that at Hoboken.
Smaller depots to assist In the

SUFFER ORATOR AT
 ROTARY CLUBLUNCH

Announcement that Senator Fred Sutter of Cochise county would be the speaker at the regular weekly lun- cheon of the Phoenix Rotary club was the occasion for one of the most gen erous attendances in a period of sev- eral months. Practically every seat was occupied when Senator Sutter arose to start his talk.
 When he was introduced to mem bers of the Rotary clubs the senator from Cochise was cheered to the echo. The demonstration continued for a period of several minutes.
 Sutter then went into detail as to the I. W. W. organization from it's in ceptiNns. telling of it's purposes and what it had accomplished. He spoke of the activities of the organization in the Warren district and especially in Bisbee from the time that Wobbly members first arrived in numbers un- til the morning Of July 12, 1917, when the deportations took place.
 He reiterated what he had previous ly said in the senate chambers Of the Arizona legislature when he said that he would or had not any desire to work, and in proof of this statement he rointed to the figures which showed 2,500 persons were included in the roundup, whereas only 1,1S0 were de- ported. All of those sent out of the district were either I. w w. members or sympathizers, he declared.
 His talk was very cordially received by members Of the Rotary club. and it had the effect of convincing those who heard it of the unbiased view of the senator-PhoeniX Gazette.
