The application for a wage increase
averaging 40 per cent is now pending.
The men have refused to accept COM
pulsory arbitration while the roads
were under private control.
This wage question, one of the most
serious problems that confronts the
government in operation of the roads,
must be settled by Mr.. McAdoo.
The presidents proclamation states
he will take possession of the rail-
ways through Newton D. Baker, sec
rotary of war. This emphasizes his de-
termination to run the roads strictly
as part of the military system.
War Department Can Handle Draft.
The fact that the railways are I'M
der the war department will simplify
the matter of drafting men for work,
in case an extreme step should be-
come necessary.
The presidents advisers do not be-
lieve such measures will be needed.
The brotherhoods have demonstrated
their loyalty and are depended upon
to adopt action now that will guar
antee enthusiastic continued operation
Of the roads.
In selecting Mr.. McAdoo for the
most powerful place in the admins
tration, the president is known to have
been Influenced by the fact that Mr..
McAdoo has thorough grasp not only
of railway and government finance, but
also Of the worlds financial situation.
Furthermore, one of the presidents ad-
visers stated, he is man who does
things. He can cut through red tape.
These two considerations pointed to
the secretary of the treasury as the
one to unite the transportation knot.
Power Is Great.
The power placed in his hands Is
greater than any ever before given a
single American other than a presi-
dent.
He will take possession of every
railroad and every system Of transpOr-
tation located wholly or in part within
United States boundaries. Street rail-
ways alone are excepted. All steam
ship companies owned or controlled by
railroads, will come under his control
and operation.
The present officers Of the roads
will remain in their places, but can
be removed, or changed, at any time,
by order of the director general of
railroads. His authority is paramount
even to that of the interstate commerce
commission. which hitherto has fixed
rates and governed the traffic Of the
lines.
The plan now put into effect has
been worked out by the president
through a period of several months.
Almost Immediately after the United
States entered the war it became evil

troll, would not be able to stand the
strain.

AIRCRAFT QUARREL
NOT TO HALT PROBE
Senator Chamberlain Says
Committee Awaits Full
Authority.

The Senate military affairs committee
will get down to work on its investi-
cation of the aircraft program and
other features of war preparation as
soon as the Senate adopts the resolution
giving the committee full authorization
to send for persons and papers, 1t was
said last night by Senator Chamberlain,
chairman. He said he hoped the resolu-
ton would be reported from the COM
mittee on contingent expenditures of
the Senate tomorrow and then adopted.
Four subcommittee will be appointed
to investigate the aircraft program,
the cross license agreement" the ord
nance program and the Quartermaster
Corps activities.
Senator Chamberlain said that the
publication of the charges against Gut
zon Borglum, the sculptor, one Of the
critics Of the aircraft board and it's
program, would not halt or defect the
investigation which the Senate COM
mittee will make of the aviation sit
uation. He said:
The quarrel between Gutzon Borg
lum and the aircraft production board,
or any individual connected with it, will
have no influence upon the action of the
military affairs committee one way or
the other. The committee is not in
terested in any way, shape or form in
this or any other quarrel between in
dividua1s.
What the committee is interested in
Is what has become of the money ap-
propriated for aircraft production, and
who is responsible for the delay in the
aircraft program. Whether there has
been criminality in the expenditure of
money or in the work of production
these are the things which this COM
m1ttee Will look into, and it will ex-
anime any witness who can throw
light upon the subject"
