 RAILROAD CONTROL Trainmen's Head, ". t. Lee, Makes Charge Against Interests IN PRESENCE OF MANAGERS
Objects to Presence of Roads Repre- SentativeS and Says Fifty Years Experience Has Caused Him to Be Suspicious of Them.

Washington, Feb. 5.--Charges that the railway managements are at tempting to discredit government operation of railroads were made to- day by w. G. Lee, head of the rail way trainmen, at the railway wage hearing.
 II have facts to prove experienced
 railroad men arc not permitted to op- crate as their training dictates," he said.
 'The old manAGcmcntS do not want government operation made a Suc- cess' said Lee. Do you think the public will let the railroads go back to the old system if government man agement proves efficient? That's why
 I want to see the government make
 a success of operating the railroads.'
 MT. Lees remarks were made in
 the course of a spirited discussion
 precipitated by the presence of seV-
 eral representatives of railway man.
 agements in the room. A. B. Gar
 retson, head of the railway conductors,
 charged their presence was in contra
 vention of the understanding With
 Director General McAdoo that the hearing was to be ex parte. Lee Suspicious. Commissioner COvington said the railway officials were there by invi- tation of the wage commission to sup plement, not antagonize, the lnforma- ton presented by employees. "You will pardon my being suspi- cious,' MT. Lee said, ''but have been dealing with those gentlemen for half a, century"
 Secretary Lane, chairman of the commission, reminded the union rep resentatives that the railroads were under government control, that the commission was seeking all informa- ton to make a decision and that there was no controversy nor would there be one. so far as the govern m ent was concerned.
 we do not pretend to take the
 position of discussing matters With
 9ur former employers" said MT. Gar retson we don't intend to deal with second set of employers and, having come here to put all the
 cards on the table, we don't intend
 to disarm ourselves"
 Mr. Lee said the demands for in creased wages were asked solely be- cause of increased cost of living. He understood the administration de- sired standards of living should be maintained and the war workers would therefore be justified in ask | ing for the entire 4S per cent in- l crease in the cost of living But he added, they had asked only what l they considered fair, increases rang | ing from 20 to 42 per cent

time than has been the fond&
 of our own people or the nations III I which we are associated" Chairman Flood of the foreign affairs commit. tee declared in the house today in presenting the diplomatic and consul appropriation bill.
 The chairman's assertion was in connection with his discussion of Col. Houses mission to England and France and was made in the course of an outline giving the house the state departments war activities. The result of the work of the mission, he said, 'is that a complete under standing exists of precisely what the Allies need from this country and exactly what this country can fur niSh and when and how"
 Under the secretaries of state, war and navy, he said, the country will furnish more men and means than was expected of us"
 The appropriation bill as presented by Chairman Flood carries $S,206,- S97 for the next fiscal year, $3,O0O,- 900 more than the current appropria- tiOn because of increased war bur- dens. The increase provides for 25 new secretaries to embassies and le- gations, many additional clerks, aug mented secret funds and other allow ances
 Blast for "JingoeS".
 With the state departments sane tion, MT. Flood told how the Japa- nese' missions visit here resulted in exchange of notes between Secretary Lansing and Viscount Ishii, which, he said, removed causes of friction be- tween the two countries and works for peace in the Far East, making quite remote the possibility so often discussed of trouble between this country and Japan"
 "Rationing of neutralS involving an interference with some of the vital supplies of such countries as Hol- land, Denmark and Sweden" he said, 'is a matter calculated to create in- tense irritation with the tangible risk of it's developing into enmity. Too much cannot be said of the splendid manner in which the state depart ment handled this delicate situation. There is no friction with any of the neutrals growing out of the course which our country was compelled to pursue in reference to these matters"
 Telling of the expansion of the in ter@hangc of information between the state department and American diplomatic and consul service, he said this service was valuable for publicity purposes abroad, leading to a clearer view of 1America's aims and activities.
 Praise for Secret Service.
 MT. Flood spoke of the state de- partment's negotiations for distribut- ing for war operations the many enemy ships that took refuge at the outbreak of war in ports which have ceased to be neutral. He told of the departm ent's secret service exposures regarding Germany and the effect on Latin-America and the world, how the department is looking after pris- oners of war. the welfare of subject races like those in Palestine, Arme mia, Syria and Poland, and how it must prepare during the war for pro- lection of Americas interests after the war. He closed with @ personal tribute to Secretary Lansing.
