RAILROADS
TO PRIVATE OW NERS
AFTER WAR is over
Time Limit Will Be Two Years
or Under---Bll viii
Pass Early

Washington, Feb. 6.-With the house
interstate commerce committee putting
the finishing touches ON the railroad bill
today the committees of both houses
working independently have re-drafted
the administration bill so there will be
very little difference between the two
reports. For this reason, early passage
of the measure is expected.
Both committees have gone directly
against the administration s wishes by
changing three sections of the bill.
These changed sections now provide:
Limiting the period of federal con-
troll. The senate placed the date for the
return at 18 months after the war. while
the house set the return date at two
years after peace is signed.
Placing the rate fixing power in the
interstate commerce commission instead
of the president.
Not allowing railroad employees to re-
ceive the benefits of the federal en-
ployes' compensation act, which pro
vides recompense for injured govern
mnet workers. Both committees struck
out this administration section, but
agreed that the railroad men should be
allowed to bring damage suits against
the government.
Both committees accepted the admin
istration sections providing that com
pensation shall be on the basis of net
income of the last three years and that
a revolving fund of $500,000,00O shall
be placed at the disposal of the diree-
tor general.
Where the rate fixing power shall rest
has been the cause of bitter debate
in the house committee, but the admin
istration forces were only able to get
through an amendment of Chairman
Sims, which provides that the roads

Washington, Feb. g. - Amazing
charges that the railroads are trying to
defeat government operation and rem
der impracticable the eight hour law
by deliberately increasing days and
operating costs, were made before the
federal wage board today by A. B. Gar

brotherhood.
We believe the word has gone
down the line," he said, fFto cause all
possible overtime.
That the rail tieups may be part of
the general program of inefficiency
and delay was limited by Garretson.
Great engines for the first time in
history have been allowed to freeze
while standing and train dispatehers
have become "delayers" to add to the
confusion. Whole systems are sudden
ly breaking down, he said.
Train crews, he asserted, had been
held on ddetracks to increase overtime.
And in looking for those responsible,
he said, 81 would go to New York-to

bout somewhere in Mississippi" on July s, 1889, was carried out. But with difficulty Governor Lowry of that state used every means in his power to halt the fight. He classi- fled bare knckle fighting with strict London Prize Ring rules governing, as "a most brutal form of sport, and he turned the state forces loose in an effort to stop the staging of the contest. But to no avail.
 However, the opposition by the au- thorities of the state and the con. stant "hounding" by officials of oth CT states of the bare knuckle fight CTS, caused John l.. to make this resolve:
 Win or lose, my battle with Kill rain will be my last bare knuckle fight After that affair is over I'll fight Marquis of Queensbury rules or not at all. I'm tired of being trailed by the police; tired of running the chance of being put into jail"
 And so the Sullivan-Kilrain fight in addition to taking rank as the most memorable bare knuckle con test on American soil, was destined to be the last real fight under Lon don Prize Ring rules which, since that day, have become obsolete.
