New York, Jan. 13.-Railroad exc
cutives representing lit roads and 80
per cent of the mileage in the United
States, at a conference held here to-
day to consider plans for safeguard
ing the interests they represent while
under federal management, decided
to ask congress to limit government
control to the period of the war.
The executives believe that the bill
now pending in congress is too vague
because it does not set definite date
for the government to relinquish the
railroads. They could see no reason,
it was said, why it should not be fixed
for the duration Of the war, as has
been the case with other industries
which have come under federal man.
agement.
The bill reported out of committee
would empower the president to retain
control Of common carriers until
otherwise decreed by the congress. "
The position was taken that to pass
such a law would be to leave the i'm
mensely valuableN railroad properties
of the country subject to the whims
of any new congress that may be
elected. For that reason, the execu-
tives maintained, it would unsettle
seriously all the affairs of the car
riers. Limiting of control to the per-
iod of the war, will be asked as a
safety first" measure.

To Fur|ough Soldiers
For Harvest Fields

Washington, Jan. 15.-At the re-
quest of the war department today
Chairman Chamberlain of the senate
military committee introduced bill
for the registration for military duty
of all men who have become 81 years
old since June S, 1917, when the draft
law went into effect.
To Furnish Harvest Help
Another bill, which Senator Cham
berlain introduced at the request of
sthe administration, would provide for
furloughing national army men for
harvesting crops and other agricul-
tural duties.
Another bill would put the quota of
the states on the basis of available
men in the first class instead of on
population.
In determining upon the registra-
ton of men who have become FL since
the draft law was enacted, the war
department has rejected any plan to
raise the age limits of the draft to
take in men more than thirty-one.
Will Supply Eligibles

come of age since the draft law was

Ladd and Ragan Speak
On Feed and Seed"

Fargo, Jan. 16.-With the 10th an
nual convention of the Tri-State
Grain Growers as the main attrac-
ton and various other conventions,
exhibiting and meetings as side is
sues, the cityof Fargo was crowded
with farmers from North and South
Dakota and Minnesota yesterday, Of
ficials in charge of the events claim
ing that this year brings the large
est delegations in the history of the
meetings.
Judge A. T. Cole of the Cass coun-
ty district court extended the welcome
of the city and predicted that when
peace is declared at the close Of the
awful struggle in which the world is
now engaged all nations will be on a
footing which will permit of no furth-
er war
"The farmers of the northwest"
Judge Cole said, "are engaged in one
of the most important phases Of the
war, the production of the foodstuffs
which will keep the men in fighting
trim until militarism is disposed Of
for all time. If the earth should fail
to produce or the farmers fail to do
their duty the war would cease but
the issue would not be settled.
There must be no let-up in the
productive energies of the farmers, I"
, continued Judge Cole, "but they must
continue to work and sacrifice and fill
the bread basket. Theirs is one of the
most important factors in bringing
the great !, contest to a successful
Cooperation Essential
The necessity of cooperation be-
tween the different lines of endeavor
were called to the attention of the
members of the convention and the
judge closed his address of welcome
with a mighty plea to the farmers of
the three states to continue their pro-
gram OF intense patriotism and sacri-
fice and stated that in his opinion
there was no fear that the farmers
would be found wanting no matter
what calls might be made upon them.
President c. B.. Waldron Of the
Grain Growers association introduced
Judge Cole in few remarks in which
ne called attention to the wonderful
change in the trend of affairs which
has taken place since the members
last gathered for conference and in
struction. He also talked for a short
time upon the progress of the organ
lzation since its formation 10 years
ago and called attention to the MANY
changes that have been worked in
farm life during that time.
Dr. n. H. Frost, pastor of the First
Methodist church Of Fargo, gave the
invocation, after which the regular
business Of the meeting was taken up.

Government Asked to Reinquish
Roads As Soon As War Is Over

cent report of Provost Marshal Gen.
eral Crowder, as one of the means by
which supply of men for the nation
al army might be assured without
taking those who might have others
dependent upon them. 1t could be
done also, the provost marshal gener-
al pointed out, by extending the linn
it's above the present line of thirty
one. The war department has adopt
ed the first suggestion. It is esti-
mated that it will add about zoo, 900
men to the draft available each year.
Expects Prompt Passage.
Congressman have been advised
that further legislation would be ne
cessary to perfect and carry on t..
draft and the passage of Senator
Chamberlain's bill with the admins
tration support is expected in both
houses promptly. Another bill intro
duced by Senator Chamberlain would
provide for badge or button for ex-
empted men.
Changing State Quotas
r. The bill changing the basis of the
state quotas would provide a more
equitable system, as it would exclude
entirely alien enemies from the basis.
The bill to permit troops to 60 to ag-
ricultural work merely would auth
orize the secretary Of war to furiough
men for civilian duty. It is known,
however, that the war department in
tends to use the authority principally
to provide men at harvest time and
for other agricultural work vital to
the food supply.
