SENATE COMMITTEE QUESTIONS M'ADOO ]. ON RAIL OPERATIONS

Washington, January le.-Director Gen eral McAdoo today explained to the Sen ate interstate commerce committee the operation of control of railroads and urged speedy passage of the administra- tor. railroad bill by Congress ill order to clarify tne fiscal situation so as to per init the floating of other issues of bonds by the government before the end of the present fiscal year. He also asserted that government operation would be extended to canals and inland waterways if it was considered necessary.
 Fir McAdoo spent more than two hours before the committee, during which he vas freely questioned regarding the ne- cessity for government control of the carriers and the compensation of short ! line railroads. He will appear again Mon- day, and probably will go before house committee later.
 Investigations are being made, the di- rector general said, to determine what short line railroads are to be retained by the government Those not taken over, he declared, will not be compensated, and if they suffer damages redress will have to be obtained i'll the courts. He said it was not proposed to keep control of any unnecessary lines.

Stories With Punch" But
 False in Statement Are
 Dangerous, States Greet

Columbus, Ohio, January 19-'Much of the war matter that is printed in the press today could be thrown into the waste basket with profit,'' declared George Greet, chairman of the commit tee on public information, in an address here tonight before the Ohio City Editors association.
 The startling is prized above the infor- native. and matters of vital importance to the people, because they lack punch" :" are crowded out entirely or else given modest space on the market page.
 "The exclusive story has in no wise lost it's value, and there are still these papers that for the brief trump of a scoop, are willing to endanger the lives of troops reveal military plans and se- crets, and poison the morale of the peo- pie.
 .'The announcement of the arrival of our first transports in France even while others were still in the danger zone, came from the bribing of a tele- graph operator. The cruel lie that our troops were not attacked by submarines and that the Fourth of July announce ment was merely an elaboration, was the work of correspondent in search of a story and the British court of inquiry branded him a liar and expelled him from the fleet"

WAGE COMMISSION NAMED BY M 'ADOO
 MEETS ON MONDAY

Washington, January 19.-General Director McAdoo's newly appointed railroad wage committee, headed by Secretary Lane, will meet Monday to take up labor questions pending be- fore the railroad administration and will devote afternoons for several weeks for hearing and Investigating complaints and petitions.
 Secretary Lane said today that the wage demands of the four leading brotherhoods will be heard first and later consideration would be given to other definite wage requests.
 Labor's leaders will be called in and railroad presidents and other exec utives will be heard.
 Most sessions will be public and the scope of the investigation will depend largely on developments.
 Secretary Lane said the committee planned to travel as little as possible, but that it probably would use the Investigating machinery already es- tablished by the department of labor.
 "We want to deal direct with rail- road men, said the secretary, and get their views at first hand This will be business-like investigation and in the end we want to give D1- rector General McAdoo the best avail able information on the whole labor situation boiled down for his final action"

Four additional cars of coal for distri- button were secured yesterday through the efforts of Culpepper Exum and were given by the Brilliant Coal company through David Roberts, Jr.; the Cahaba Southern Coal company, through H. R. Samson; the DeBardeleben Coal compa- ny, through Henry F. DeBardeleben, and the Newcastle Coal company. through Carr Mccormack. This coal will be placed at various points in the city when it arrives and will be dis tributed to the poor and needy of Bir- mingham.
 Should the one car of coal which was received late yesterday in Birmingham be placed at Avenue D and Twenty eighth street this morning, it will be taken in charge by a committee from the Kiwanis club, headed by Carl Wittichen and Ed Hawkins and will be distributed.
 A car of coal was placed at First ave- nue and Twelfth street on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad yes terday morning at 9:3o o'clock and was taken in charge by a committee from the Chamber of Commerce, composed of 1ItSOiS uOhboSAi, w NJ N'AAASNSAf - c.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WANTS ID PREVENT
 PIRACY OF NEWS

Washington, January 19.-The su- preme court was today asked to ex- pedite the suit brought by the As sociated Press to prevent the Interna- tional News Service, or Hearst serv- ice, from pirating news from the for mer organization.
 Injunctions restraining the Interna- tional News Service from that prac- tice were granted by the lower courts and an appeal was taken. The court was asked today to fix April 15 for hearing arguments. The motion to have the case called for early hear ing was concurred in by the Asso- ciated Press
 Until the decision of this court, respondent (the Associated Press) and its members" the Associated Press said in a memorandum filed with the court in support of the motion, must either submit to irreparable loss in the jurisdiction not controlled by tho judgment below or undertake a null titude of cases in other Jurisdictions to enforce it's rights. In view of the fact that this court has taken up the case by writ of certiorari, courts be- low will be reluctant to grant injunc- tions necessary to protect respondents rights until this court has determined finally the question involved in cases which complainant may, as above stated, be required to bring in other jurisdictions
 "The violations of complainant's rights have been, still are, and will be most serious during the continuance of the war. because of the great ex- pense to which complainant is put in collecting the war news and the great public demand that exists for it.
 "Only the decision of this court can assure the news industry of a sound and indisputab ble foundation and delay of such assurance will cause serious injury to the great mass of newspa- pers throughout the country"

INTERVIEW WITH TcHERNoFF

Petrograd January 19.-M. Tchernoff, elected as chairman of the Russian constituent assembly, granted an in iterview to the Associated Press corre- spondent during the midnight recess.
 What do you think of the situa- tion?" he was asked.
 Do you think the bolsheviki will dissolve the constituent assembly?' ~ "No," said the chairman, q don't think they will do that before the con- gross of the workmen and soldiers deputies assemble. Inrs the meantime they will try to find way out of their embarrassment and continue their ses- sion"
 You desire to discuss peace first. What is your programme regarding that question:"
 Our party's position on the question of peace is that the constituent assem- ply should immediately call a confer ence of all the entente allies to con- slider the aims of the war We expect that at such conference they would state clearly and most explicitly their aims and would try to harmonize them with the democratic principles of the Russian revolution
 Do you think Russia can continue the war if Germany refuses peace on democratic terms?" M. Tchernoff was asked. He replied
 Everybody says that Russia cannot fight because of the extreme state of Reorganization. All know that the de- cision in the war will be on the west ern front But Russia can act as a magnet to draw German forces and prevent their being thrown over to the western front. The Russian army may retreat. but in doing so, will benefit the allies by diverting the Germans deeper and deeper into Russian terri tory, which would be no gain for them"
 At this state the interview was in terrupted by several members of the constituent assembly, who urged the chairman to resume the session.
