WOULD PREVENT
!: RAIL ROAD STRIKES
Manufacturer Suggests That
President Be Empowered
To Intervene.

Washingtont-Power of inter-
vention. in order to prevent labor
disputes from interrupting regular
railroad operation, would be vested
in the President of the United
States IL suggestions made to-day
to the House Interstate Commerce
Committee by Stephen B. Mason,
president of the Nationa! Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, are adopted.
Mr.. Mason who says his or
ganization includes 5000 firms,
and is the largest group of single
shippers in the country. did not
appear, but sent statement of his
recommendations.
His plan provides:
First, that whenever in the op-
inion of the President of the United
States dispute over hours, wages
or working conditions threatens
interruption of a carrier essential
to civil or military governmental
needs or free movement Of COM
merce betwees the States, or with
foreign naGsns, he shall appoint a
commission to investigate and de-
eide the merits of the controversy,
and until such finding is made any
strike or lockout shall be unlaw-
full.
Second. that, under authority
established by the decision of the
Supreme Court in the Adamson
case, whenever labor dispute
threatens operation of an instru-
mentality of interstate commerce,
the President shall have the power
to appoint commission which
would write contract for the par
ties in dispute, to be binding on
them until they reach voluntary
agreement, in which event their
agreement would supersede that OF
the commission.
Through this legal, practical
methPd, freedom of contract would
be left unimpaired unless and un-
til the parties are unwilling or I'M
able to agree, in which event the
supreme interest of the public is
asserted through its representa-
tives.'
Bitterest objection was made to
the Plumb plan in the statement
of President Mason.
1T is the firsts step through the
gateway of State Socialism to the
operation of transportation and
industry under soviet control"
he declared.

she and Cole were married, but

COAL SHORTAGE
A MYTH SAYS
THE SPEAKER
Sensational Charge Against the
Coal Operators Made In "a
Speech In House.

Washington. - Representative
George Huddlestsn, Democrat, Ala
bama, charged in the house today
that the National Coal association
had spent $4,000 for advertising
space in 400 newspapers in IAN eff
fort to make the, people buy coal
now at exorbitant prices through
belief OF an impending shortage"
Nothing except an act Of con-
gress," he said, twill stay this in
famous attempt on the part Of coal
operators to.take advantage Of SUI
fering humanity next winter. I
insist that congress pass such an
act and take 1t out of the power of
the operators to profteer.
"There is no coal shortage and
NJ labor shortage, but there is a
shortage in common honesty on the
part of coal operators"

Police Department ON a Paying
Basis

If all the costs and fines went to
defray the expenses of the police de-
partment there would be sufficient
to defray the expenses of the entire
department including the salary of
the Mayor. But under the law only
the costs are turned into the city
treasury which generally amounts to
$4.25 in the majority of cases. The
balance goes to the school fund on
the idea that if the father of chill
dren and the heads of homes will not
save their money and provide an
education for their children that the
state must do 50, and their fines are
turned into the state treasury to send
their curly headed boys and girls to
some college and not be thrown un'
prepared upon q heartless world te
make their way when they arrive al
their majority.
The receipts this month have beer
90 far about $4,000 and the month
is not gone and Christmas is not neal

hcc department is $1,Soo.00 and thi
includes the salary Of the mayor ant

HOME RULE
FOR IRELAND
~.
Premier Lloyd Geo. sAn-
nounces Plan. Cannot Ac-
cept Separation But
LIKE OTHER coLoNIE:

London, Dec. 23.-Premiep Lloyd
George yesterday outlined the gov
|ernment's proposals for Ireland in a
long statement in the House of Com
mons. Speaking with great deliber-
alton and emphasis, he declared:
Great Britain cannot accept sep
aration. The people who think Bri-
tain can be forced into it have not
ready the story of the last five years.
1t is always the night time to do the
right thing, and Britain can afford
now more than ever to take the ini-
tlative. No one will now suspect her
of conceding from weakness. The
| land that by its power destroyed the
greatest military empire in the world
| will not be suspected of qualling be-
fore band of wretched assassins.
THE world will know that we are
entering upon task prompted by
the deep sense of justice which sus-
tanned this land through these last
years of sacrifice
The Premier began by remarking
upon the extreme difficulty of the
task difficult indeed" he said,
after such discreditable outrage as
has just been perpetrated at Dublin. -
! He characterized the attempt on
Viscount French, the lord lieutenant
of Ireland, as one of the most cow
ardly and foolish incidents in the
history of political crime. He was
glad the chiefs of the Catholic
Church had hastened to denounce it.
| Reviewing the position of Irish af-
| fairs, he said that nobody in Ireland
wanted the act of 1914. In the exist
ing circumstances no possible scheme
for Irish home rule was universally
acceptable and parliament must as
SUNG the responsibility and propose
what sit thought fair and just.
The government new bill pro-
vfdes briefly for the creation OF two
legislatures in Ireland with full con-
stituent powers to create single
irish legislature to discharge all the
powers not specifically reserved to
the imperial parliament. A clause
in the bill will protect the rights OF
minorities The question of uniting
these two Irish legislatures into one
pody rests with the Irish people, the
consent of the imperial parliament
not being required.

THE DEFLAT|ON
OF. CREDITS
-! {
And Greater Production ON the
Part of Labor Absolutely
Necessary to
GET BACK TO NORMAL

The following is sent to the Off
GERS of banks and trust companies
by the Federal Reserve bank, Rich
mond, Va:
Now that the final instaIlment on
the Victory Loan has been paid, it
IS perhaps fitting that we should say
something to you with reference to
the record made by the Fifth Fed
eral Reserve district during the try
ing period through which we have
passed. 1t is also fitting that we
should advise you with reference to
the views of the officers and direc-
tors Of this bank respecting our
present cnedit situation, the pros
poets for the future, and the line of
conduct which should be pursued.
At the beginning of the war. and
in the early days of the First Lib
erty Loan campaign, we all realized
that our government would be COM
PEELED to lay upon us burdens which
1t is perhaps fortunate that we did
not then realize the full extent of
those burdens, because it is now
certain that we had no adequate
performances. We all entered into
that campaign, and the four subse-
quent loan campaigns, with the de-
termination to back the government
to the full extent of our resources
and power, and it is only fair to say
that the district not only reached,
Dut exceeded, all expectations.
/ Counting all five loans together
we had a quota of eight hundred
and twenty-eight millions, with ac-
tual subscriptions amounting to one
billion, seventy-five million, forty
thousand and seven hundred dollars
"a percentage of 1884, which
\ gave the fifth district; the third place
in the table for the entire country
New York occupied the first and
Boston the second place.
In addition to this there have
been placed in the fifth district
treasury certificates of Indebtedness
issued in anticipation of taxes, or in
anticipation of the various loans, tt
an, amount exceeding six hundred
and twenty millions of dollars. 81
far the district has stood squarel.
behind the government, has answer
ed the call of the government, no
only to the best of it's ability, but il
manner, and to an extent, whicl
reflects great honor upon it.
