Provides for Compensation.

Section proposes that any claim for
just compensation which is not adjusted
under the terms provided in section /
will be submitted to a board of three
auditors appointed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, whose members
and official force will be eligible for
that service without any additional
compensation. These auditors will give
full hearing to the road and to the
government and will report to the
President the amount due the road as
just compensation.
A sum not exceeding the amount so
reported may be agreed upon by the
President and the road. Failing this
agreement, either the federal govern
ment or the road may file petition in
the Court OF Claims for final ascertain
ment of the amount of just compensa-
tion, and in the Court OF Claims pro-
ceedings the report of the auditors will
be considered prima facie evidence of
the facts stated. The just compensation
of any federal-controlled road not max
ing returns to the Interstate Commerce
Commits ssion will be determined in ac-
cordance with these provisions.
Section 4 proposes that the return of
any carrier will be increased by an
amount reckoned at a rate to be fixed
by the President, upon the cost OF any
additions and improvements made while
under federal control, by the carrier
from it's own capital or surplus and by
an amount equal to the rate accruing
to the government upon any advances
made to the road for the cost of the ad-
ditions and improvements

Section 5 prohibits any carrier while
under federal control. without the
Presidents prior approval. from de-
claring or paying any dividends in ex
cess of its regular rate during the
three years ending June 80. 1917. This
section stipulates, however, that the
railroads that have paid no regular
dividends or no dividends during that
period may. with the Presidents prior
approval, pay dividends at whatever
rate the President may determine.
Section appropriates $500.000, ,000.
which, together with any funds avail
able from any excess earnings of the
railroads, may be used by the President
"as revolving fund" to pay expenses
of the federal control or any deficit of
railroad below the standard return
and to provide terminals. improve
ments, engines, rolling stock and other
necessary equipment
These terminals, improvements and
equipment are to be used and accounted
for as the President may direct and to
be disposed of as Congress may here
after provide.

SHORTAGE Of MEAT
THREATENED IN D. c.
Receipts Are Below Normal.
Many Hogs Shipped From
West Die in Cars.
POTATOES ARE RUINED

A meat shortage of serious proper
tions is threatened in Washington as
the result of railroad congestion. AL
ready the shortage is felt in pork
products. and receipts of other meats
are below normal.
Local manufacturers Of pork products
are having great deal of trouble In
getting through their shipments of live
hogs from the west, and many animals
are dying in the cars as result of the
long time they are on the road.
The manufacturing manager of one
such establishment said today that
carload of hogs shipped him from Gin
cinnati ten days ago had not yet ar
rived. Any time carload of hogs is
on the road more than a week. he said.
the loss is bound to be heavy, running
twenty-five to thirty hogs to a car. He
dead hogs IN car which reached
Baltimore yesterday.
Distress Among Poor.
The situation is causing a good deal
Of distress among the poor who depend
in large measure on the cheaper pork
products, such as scrappie. souse and
puddings- There is dearth OF these
products. and small retail dealers today
we're clamoring in vain for supplies
from the local manufacturers.
1t also was reported today that sew
eraI carloads of potatoes sidetracked
outside Washington had frozen and the
potatoes were ruined. Food administra-
tion officials regard this as serious loss
at a time when they are seeking to en-
courage an increased consumption of
potatoes.
Delays in coal cars consigned to
Washington are indicated in a report
transmitted today by Interstate Com
merce Commissioner McChord to the di-
rector general of railroads.

legislation, but thought it should not
be hastily considered
When Senator Ovcrman stated that
the Attorney General had urged
passage Of the bill to-day because its
provisions would be needed during the
Liberty Loan campaign Senator Reed
said that was utter nonsense"
Several efforts to widen the scope Of
the bill were made to-day, though
there were criticisms that its provi-
sions against disloyal and seditous ut
terances are already too broad
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, in
transmission through the mails of any
matter printed in the German lam
guage, and Senator Lewis, of Illinois,
offered one which would forfeit the
citizenship and property of persons ad
Judged disloyal by jury
Victor Berger Denounced
During the discussion the attitude
of Victor Berger, Socialist candidate
sin election, was denounced by Sen
s.tors Borah, Of Idaho, and Lodge as
disloyal and verging on treason.
Senator Lodge, while urging the
death penalty for spies and German
agents who destroy property in this
country, said the bills restrictions
upon free speech were too broad and
could be used to suppress legitimate
discussion. Senator Hardwck, of Geor-
gia, suggested that they might prevent
peace talk later when such discussion
might be proper.
Opposing provision Of the bill pen
alizing declarations in favor Of Ger
many's "allies" Senator Lodge pointed
war with Turkey or Bulgaria, although
he said "wc ought to be-"
All during the days debate were
frequent warnings from various SEN
ators against the danger of resorts to
violence by the indignant populace
against disloyal utterances. Senator
Borah called the Senates attention to
the lynching at Collinsvillc. Senator
FALL OF New Mexico, said that if Con-
gress does not enact the necessary
laws "the people would take the law
into their own hands with Judge
Lynch" Also, he said, MODS will act if
guilty persons escape on technicalities
of the law.
Senator Lodge objected to the wide
powers now being exercised by the
postmaster General 3s to the use of
the mails. Senator King, of Utah, de-
clarcd these powers should be an cf-
fcctivc weapon in the hands of the
government in stamping out The propa-
ganda OF the /. W. w. and similar or
CARNATIONS. and added that in every
case in which Mr. Burlcson had acted
ms Judgment had been vindicatcd.
Senator Lodge replied that he pro
ferrcd to insert a provision in the bill
excluding certain publications instead

powers to trust to one man"

[Stof Correspondence

CHICAGO, April 5.--Leaders Of the
I. w. w. on trial here for sedtious cor
spiracy have told government officials
that they believe their conviction vii,
be the signal for great strike that
will utterly paralyze work in the har-
vest fields.
There are seized I. w. W. records in
the Federal Building here that credit
the organization with a membership Of
45O,000-the bulk of the Western float
ing labor population. A red card ere
Dental Of |. w. w. membership is the
most cherished possession of nearly
every one of the harvest hands who
work their way each summer from the
wheat fields of Oklahoma and Kansas
up through the Dakotas and then to
California to garner anything from
hops to prunes. These men are for the
most part homeless, and carry all their
worldly possessions in the "bindles" on
their backs. "Bindle" is the Wobblv's
name for his blanket roll
A nationwide strike by the zone big
union" was threatened last summer By
big Bill" Haywood in an effort to
force the Federal government to re-
patriate the 1900 l. W. W. members
deported from Bsbee, Ariz 1t was
this threat addressed to President Will
son. coupled with reports of sabotage,
that led the government to put force
of Department of Justice investigators
IN the field and finally to seize the rec
ords OF the organization.
Persecution Charged
The I. w. w. men on trial say they
are being prosecuted. And most Of
them believe they are being prosecuted
One said to-day:
Judge Lands is real gentleman,
but Judge Lands has to administer the
laws as they are on the books. These
laws are weapon of capitalism"
By the same token, the l. w. w.
breaches that sabotage is legitimate
weapon of labor to be used in labor's
struggle against capitalism. The |. w.
w. preamble says:
ing class have nothing in common.
There can be no peace so long as
hunger and want are found among mill
ions of working people, and the few
who make up the employing class have
all the good things of life.
"Between these two classes a struc-
gle must go on until the workers of the
world organize as Il class, take pos
session of the earth and the machinery
OF production, and abolish the wage
system.
INSTEAD of the conservative motto:
"A fair days wages for fair DAVIS
work, we must inscribe on our banner
tn' revolutionary watchword: Adolf
ton of the wage SYSTEM
Would End Capitalism
at is the historic mission of tho
working class to do away with capital
ism"

Work for Soldiers

New Jersey Concern Finds Them
Useful in Making Armature

First steps to provide work for blind
soldiers have been taken by the
Double Duty Finger Guild, an adjunct
OF the Crockcr-Whceler Company, at
Ampere, N. j. DR.. Wheeler, president
of the concern, is now in France, and
later VIII go to England in the inter
ests of charging the scope of the guild
SO that soldiers who lose their eve
sight may be able to support them
selves.
The workshops of the Double Duty
ringer Guild arc at 80 Park Avenue,
Ampere, N. j. There many blind per-
sons find employment, the work being
IN connection with the manufacture of
armature coils. The news has spread
among, the blind, and applications for
work have been received from MANY
localities by Carol Purse, the super
intendent. These applications are in
excess of the capacity of the institu-
ton, and Mr.. Purse, therefore, is adj
dressing manufacturers in various
parts of the United States, calling at
tention to the satisfactory services
rendered by the blind at the Ampere
factory and Offering to refer appli-
cants from their particular localities
to them.
