GOVERNMENT R.R.
CONTROL WILL Be
PERFECTED SOON
Administration Leaders in
Congress Plan For Early
Enactment of Legislation
BY Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 5.-Administra-
tion leaders in Congress went to work
to-day to bring about early enact
ment of legislation recommended by
President Wilson to perfect Govern
ment control of railroads and provide
for their reimbursement on the basis
of pre-war earnings.
Although there were indications of
opposition to certain features of the
Presidents plan as outlined in bill
introduced soon after his address yes
terday, his ideas in the main were re-
celved with approval by Democrats
and Republicans alike. Changes in
the provision that Federal control
shaH continue after the war indefi-
nitely or until Congress orders other
wise and details of the compensation
plan probably will be urged.
At the same time Director General
McAdoo went rapidly forward with
the details of actual operation of rail-
roads. His decision, reached after a
conference yesterday with the broth
erhood chiefs, to appoint an advisory
board of four to thresh out the in
creased wage demands, caused him to
postpone on recommendation of the
tEdlHC Officials CuftalIment OF
passenger schedules.
The wage advisory board, soon to
be named by Mr.. McAdoo, will inves-
tigate all phases of the Brotherhoods'
demands and recommend a course to
the director general.
Abnormal traffic and insufficient
motive power on the PENNSYLVANIA,
Baltimore and Ohio and Erie Rail-
roads are mainly responsible for the
freight congestion in eastern terri
tory, according to reports to-day to
Director General McAdoo from Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner Nc
Chord. West of Pittsburgh practi-
cally the only congestion is caused
by the inability of eastern roads to
accept traffic and move it eastward
A great quantity of westbound empty
cars consequently are held up by
the eastbound movement.
In New England and in districts
about New York. hundreds of loco
motives are disabled and have not
been repaired as promptly as commits
sion inspectors believe they might
have been. At Boston the New Haven
is badly crowded with excess freight
but the Boston and Albany is in much
| better condition. This situation has
prompted the suggestion that freight
should be rerouted over the less con-
gested lines.
Congestion at Cleveland, Toledo
Columbus and indianapolis are caused
almost entirely by the inability OF
| the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn.
| sylvania to move trains through the
Pittsburgh freight jam.
The Baltimore and Ohio is reporte &c
| short of locomotives at Philadelphia
Pittsburgh. Cleveland, the Cumberland
| region and a number of other points

Won Their Spurs
These men are those who have
won their spurs" in the respective
branches of the service in which
they enlisted six and eight months
ago. The Augusta Chronicle says:
'They We're the choice of their
company commanders and again the
cream of that choice picked out by
the examining board so that because
of their experience since enlistment
and the progress that is mapped out
for them, they should be as thorough
as West Point graduates as it is pos.
slble to produce.
THE men will be given every
chance to apply themselves to their
intensive training, as they will not
be required to do police or guard
duty of any kind, such as pertains to
the kitchen or stables, although, of

CITY'S SCHOOLS
ATTRACT NOTICE
Harrisburg Plan Considered
at State Convention
of Educators

That the special schools maintain
ed in Harrisburg by the school board
are attracting statewide attention
because of the practical and success
full methods used was told to the
board yesterday afternoon by DR.. r.
E. Downes, city superintendent, in an
oral report on the meeting OF the
Pennsylvania State Educational AS
sociation held recently at Johnstown.
The Harrisburg continuation school
was the one which created the most
interest in the discussions at the Sec
tion meetings at Johnstown, speakers
ccmmending the school district on
the splendid showing made here
even though the school Is located
inf two-story frame building. Slides
showing charts and other material
used at the school have been made
by the bureau of vocational educa-
ton of the State Department of Pub
lie instruction and are exhibited all
over the state. Teachers at the school
ale Miss Nora M. koons, Harry K.
Balsbaugh and Mrs. Sarah G. Wor-
nell. Miss Rooms and Professor
Balsbaugh spoke at the educational
meeting. At present there are 210
boys and girls enrolled at the Har-
risburg school.
Two other striking features in pub
lie education work were called to
the attention of the directors by DR..
Downes. One of these was the in
creasing sentiment in favor of physi-
cal education in the schools, prob
ably due to the war. DIR. Downes
said bill may be introduced in the
Legislature at the next session which
if passed will require public school
districts to include physical instruc-
ton in the curriculum. He COM
mended the directors for approving
the proposed changes in supervisors
work which will include provision for
this branch of instruction.
Vacancy on Board
Another feature of the meetings
was the widespread interest in the
junior high school movement involv-
ing a complete change in school or
ganization. Much of the time was
spent in talks and discussions on
junior school work.
A committee of school directors
will bring the matter of filling the
vacancy on the board to the atten-
ton of the court. Since the resigna-
tion. of the Rev. William n. Yates
there has been only eight directors
Officials of the board said complete
plans for the work of the year can
not be made until there are nine
members.
The revised rules which will eli

The coke, although not as good

by many badly in need of fuel, until

people are in need of coal and when
a shipment arrives a rush is made
