with Mr.. McAdoo. The brotherhoods'
ease will be investigated by board Of
four to be named by the director gen.
eral today and he also may ask this
body to inquire into the switchmen's
demands.
The director general announced that
he expected to name railroad directors
for certain sections of the country to
assist him in administering government
operation, but said he had not vet de.
termined how many would be appoint
ed nor what territory each director
should supervise. 1t is considered prob
able, however, that not more than SIX
or seven will be named. Mr.. MeAdoo
said specifically that he did not plan
to name state directors.
The senate and house interstate COM
merce committees continued their hear
ings on the railroad bill Before the
house committee Interstate Commegce
Commissioner Anderson reiterated that
it seemed impraet;eable to change the
bill to provide for termination of goT-
eminent control at specific time after
the war. This would bring chaos in
railroad affairs, he said, and the prop
er procedure should be TO leave the
question OF return OF the roads TO
private control to future distribution
by congress.
Representative Moore of Pennsyl-
vania asked the committee to amend
the bill to provide specifically for gov
eminent control of canal transporta-
! tion facilities
Testifying before the senate com.
mittee, George VI. Shriver, vice pred
dent Of the Baltimore and Ohio. sug-
gested that compensation should be
based on property investments as of
| December 81, 1917, rather than June
30, 1917, as proposed in the bill. The
average return on investment of the
| 30 principal eastern systems for the
| three-year average suggested by the
| president waa 5.54 per cent, he said.
He added that the eastern railroads
had added $1l0,000.000 to their previ-
| Gus Investment in the last half of 1917.
Consequently if provisions of the bill
are carried out, he said, the eastern
| roads return on property invest mens
really would be 5.33 per cent.

Great Problem One of Prop
er Adjustment According
to Secretary Wilson
CONDITIONS HERE
NOT LIKE BRITISH
Army Takes Only About Per Cent
of Workers, Less the Number Unem-
ployed in Normal Times.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-"There is
an ample supply of labor both for the
army and for industry; the problem is
one of proper adjustment, said Seere-
tary Wilson yesterday in discussing
plans of the war department of labor
that in the first year of the war the
army would take only about 3 per cent
Of the country 5 workers, less than the
number unemployed under normal con
ditions. The secretary will announce
today. probably, an advisory committee
to assist him III handling mobilization
problems including representative OF
The general public, two Of labor, two
Of commerce and industry and one
economist or sociologist.
Most of the anxiety in this coun-
try regarding the labor question has
been reflex Of Great Britain s expert
ences III the war; Mr. Wilson said
- OF 20,00o,oO0 persons engaged in gain
ful occupations in England, 100000
were taken for the army, leaving the
labor supply p per cent short. This

cur task to make the supply equal to
the demand, which will involve trans
! portation OF workmen voluntarily from
one section TO another, housing them
IN their new homes and training un-
skilled men when the skilled supply
in any particular line Of work is
short =
Mr.. Wilson was asked what oppoai-
tion was expected from the unions to
hlutlon OF labor. If the apprentice
rules Of the union are adhered to,
he replied, lit doubtless will cause
friction if we attempt to introduce IN
skilled workers. That is one OF the
questions which we will have to work
out.
Enrolment of laborers in Porto Rice
was said by the secretary to have beer
undertaken because of shortage of
maintenance of way employees on rail
roads in the southwest. SO far, how
ever, none Of those enrolled has beer
used because it has been impossible tt
transport them to the United States.

HELP GET THE SPIES.

This country has long been honey
combed with German spies. Every
day or two some person who passed
as business or professional man,
and who has been well regarded, is
caught 'with the goods and ar
rested. Every state, every city, and
every town harbors these agents or
allies of the enemy who are mas
queradlng as peaceable citizens. Our
easy-going, think -no-evil way makes
smooth sailing for pirate craft, right
into the councils of state and city,
and even our own homes. No coun
try had ever so well organized and
numerous spy system as Germany
has maintained right here III the
United States under our very eyes.
The constantly recurring incendlary
fires, the ingenious lies of endless
variety, are both part of the same
underground system. The Chicago
Herald has printed, run down, and
exploded more than one hundred OF
these adroit falsehoods which would
pass muster with most auditors.
Here is where we can all be alert
to spot and stop this propaganda.
The next one you hear, run it down
to its source You will not get far
before you reach someone who can t
remember who told it. Anybody
who is full Of information favorable
to Germany and unfavorable to our
eau =, and who cant remember
where and from whom he acquired
this news, viii bear watching. Here
is an opportunity for boys and girls,
as well as grown-ups, to run down,
locate, aud explode this work of the
proragandists.

HERO CHOSE HEROIC
MEANS FOR SUICIDE


by United l'ress
London, Aug. THE strain of liv-
ing mp to his reputation proved too
much for Master George Harris.
At the Guildhall recently he was
bound over for II months, after at
tempting to commit suicide.
Since the age of 13 this boy has
had an extraordinary career of adj
venture He was at Antwerp when
il was taken by the Germans, oscar
ed from there, and afterwards ac-
companied Scrg. OLeary, the ia
nous Irish v c., and attracted much
notice by addressing recruiting meet
ings at Hyde Park and other places.
Several people interested them
selves in the boy, and he obtained
an excellent position. He lost his sit
uation because he was suspected Of
theft
The thought of his friends disap-
pointment weighed so much on his
mind that he tried to kill himself by
drinking a concoction OF phosphorous
match ends mixed with vinegar and
various other evil-tasting ingredients.
