U. S. to Buy UncalIed
For Refunding Notes
OF the Erie Railroad

WASHINGTON, March 19.---The War
Finance Corporation to-day agreed to
buy as many of the Erie Railroads new
issue of $15,o0o,O00 three-year per
cent notes as are not taken by holders
of the present note issue to be ,re-
funded or are not sold to private pur-
chasers.
The s50,o0O,0oo advanced by the War
Finance Corporation to the Railroad
Administration will be used only to pay
current bills and not to meet obliga-
tions already incurred with railroad
companies, Director General Hines an
nounced.
This loan, Mr.. Hines explained, does
not eliminate the necessity for future
appropriations, and does not change
the Railroad Administrations pro-
gramme for financing purchases of
equipment by use of trade acceptances.
Neither does it. modify the proposed
plan of giving certificates of indebted
ness to railroad corporations for past
debts.
Other loans will be made by the War
Finance Corporation to individual rail-
roads, but the $5O,O0O,0O0 is the only
direct loan possible to the Railroad
Administration, since the War Finance
Corporation act limits to this amount
advances to any single business in

Quinn's Attack ON
Police Draws Fire
From Mayor Hylan

Alderman William f. Quinns dcnun-
citation OF the Police Department and
Mayor Hylan at the meeting Of the
Board of Aldermen on Tuesday elected
from the Mayor yesterday letter of
ngratulation on the activities of the
police in "breaking up the gambling
fraternitics in this city" The letter
was sent to Commissioner Enright.
"Regardless of Alderman Quinn's at
tack" he wrote. continue your policy
of driving out the gamblers and dis .
orderly house keepers from the 4th In
spection District, known as tho white
district is located
This statement was shown to Alder
man Quinn, who pointed out that his
district is not near the so o-called "white
light dstrict,' but instead is the "sec-
ono finest residential district in the
city" it is located on the upper West
Side. Continuing, the Alderman said {:
"As usual Mayor Hylan has answered
my attack on the Police Department by
cheap, unmanly insinuations. His main
stock in trade in answer to any attac k
on his administration seems to he ig-
norant vitupcration. In the future |
would suggest to the gentleman that
he investigate what he is talking about
before he issues a statcmcnt'
The Mayors letter to Commissioner
Enright read, in part:
81 want to congratulate the Police
Department, and particularly Inspector
Macdonald, for breaking up the gam
bling fraternity in this city
"The Committee of Fourteen, in their
report, attempts to take credit for put
ting disorderly hotels out of busines SIS
and incidenty giving the police credit
for cooperating with them. Under this
administration the police, as you we'll
know. have had nothing to do with the
committee or Mr.. Within, their secrc-
tary.
"The gambling fraternites have at
tempted to distract attention from the
strict enforcement of the law by hav-
ing their friends in and out of public
Office make accusations against the
police. In this way the gambling
fraternities hope to keep the public of
flclals quiet or busy defending them
selves, rather than continuing the pol
icy of driving them out Of their ne
farious businesses

1t is estimated that $4,000 soldiers
and sailors already here are out OF
Jobs, and that at least 100000 more
jobless men viii arrive during the
spring and summc~. DR.. kirchwey
said it would be more than lamentabie"
to permit these men to land IN New
York without any government agency
to assist them in finding jobs. He de-
clared it would be futile to throw the
job hunting work into the hands of in
experienced volunteers
The whole service was to have been
practically shut down on next Satur-
day. Orders from Washington were
that only ten per cent of the necessary
funds would be available for this state.
This meant that the national or
ganization, which cost more than
S5,000.0o0 to build up. was to have
merely a skeleton" existense, in the
hope that the next Congress would ap-
propriate S10,000,000 for maintaining
it after July 1.
Prominent persons. according to DR..
kirchwey, became alarmed over the
situation. Conferences were held, at
which it was determined to obtain
through private sources the funds
necessary to continue the work.

ncAdoo Orders Illegal,
Says Pomerene; Didn't
Help in Winning Var

CHICAGO, March 10. Senator
Pomerene, of Ohio, Democratic mem
ber of the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee. speaking here to-
might before the American Railway
engineers Society, opposed extending
the period of government control over
railroads beyond the twenty one
months provided by Congress. He as
serted the proposed ave-ycar exten-
sion was urged only as an expe riment.
Senator Pomerene also urged early
restoration of the functions of the IN
terstate Commerce Commission, with
increased powers, and fixing by Con-
gress of fair standard return upon
the capital invested for the railroads.
government controf," he asserted
was intended for war purposes and
1T ought not to be continued for peace
purposes, unless some assured. not
speculative or coniectural, advantage
can be gained thereby
Honesty of Plan Questioned
u submit the principles of honesty
suggest that this property, which does
not belong to the government and
which does not belong to Mr.. Hines
Sdlrector generaD. should be given
back to the owners within reason
able time, and then if the people of
the country have sufficient confidence
IN government ownership to try it.
let us pass the necessary legislation
ccontscating this property and pay for
1T as an honest government ought to
pay for it. But we cannot afford to
take five years to evolve. plans, and
while we are evolving the plans to
keep in the governments possession
property which was turned over to it
as q war measure for the purpose of
experimentation"
Senator Pomerene criticised the
railroad administration for ignoring
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in rate making and for what he called
"reprehensible" orders setting aside
laws.
McAdoo Orders Criticised
"Not one Of them" declared the SEN
ator, in referring to the administra-
tion's orders "was issued out of regar rd
for the convenience of the public. Not
one of them helped to win the war
All of them aided in arousing q spirit
of discomfort among the people. | deny
that the Director General had the
power to issue these orders repeating
statutes, but. if he had the power, right
policy should have forbidden"
Without doubling that the money
was needed, Senator Pomerene said
that in ordering the 25 per cent freight
rate increase more time should have
been given to permit shippers to ad-
just their business to meet the adj
vance. This increase, he said, was
good thing for the railroads, but it re-
suited in the bankruptcy OF, many peo-
pie.
Senator Pomerene declared the pub
lie recognized the need for the general
advance in wages for railroad employ
es, joint use of terminals, Interchange
of equipment and greater control over
routing of freight, but said that these
changes in operating have proved
nothing new
