McAdOo Assures Railroad
Men That Troubles Will
Soon Be Considered.
APPEALS TO EMPLOYEES
TO KEEP EFFICIENCY
Take Up Financial Problems
Connected With Control
of Railroads.

Washington, Jan. S.-Director Cen
eral McAdoo today addressed an ap-
peal to railroad Officers and employees
to do their utmost to maintain eff
cient railroad service as a patriotic
duty, saying every officer and em-
ploye is just as important factor in
winning the war as the men in uniform,
who are fighting in the trenches"
He promised to consider labor prob
lens Justly and fairly and at the ear
liest possible moment" The names of
four members of a board to investigate
the brotherhoods' request for more pay
probably will be announced tomorrow.
Testimony Continues.
At the capitol the railroad problem
was the subject of hearings before the
interstate commerce committees of
both the senate and house. Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Anderson ex-
planned the purpose and effect Of the
pending administration bill TO the
house committee, while julius krGtt-
schnitt, chairman of the board OF the
Southern Pacific. continued his testi-
money before the senate commerce
committee on the difficultiess of rail-
roads under private management.
Take Up Financial Problems.
Together with the labor phase of gov
ernment operation, the railroad admin
istration today considered financial
problems with which the government
will be forced to deal shortly. From
scores of roads came reports on esti-
mated amount of additional capital To
be raised this year by issue Of securi-
ties. These will be compiled by Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner Dan
iels and presented to Director General
McAdoo late this week to be used AS
a basis for computing the big sum
which congress will be asked to APP
propriate To absorb the companies
securities.
The director general may take this

RUSSIANS SINCERE;
EN- EMiES CRAFTY.

THE Russian representatives pre-
sented not only perfectly definite
statement of the principles upon which
they would be willing to conclude
peace, but also an equally definite pro-
gram of the concrete application Of
those principles. The representatives
of the central powers. on their part,
presented an outline OF settlement,
which. If much less definite. seemed
susceptible Of liberal Interpretation

tical terms. That program proposed
no concessions at all either TO
