SINISTER PROPAGANDA
CHARGED BY MR.. DYER
Congressman Urged to Continue
Rail Control Under Threat of
Defeat at Polls.

Representative Dyer of Missouri
charged in the House last night that
sinister" efforts were being made to
influence members of Congress to
vote for continued government opera
tion of the railroads under pain of
defeat at the polls in the next cleo
tions.
A widespread propaganda has been
started, Mr.. Dyer said, adding that
the 'propagandists" had established
headquarters in Washington from
which representatives were being
"bombarded" with letters setting
forth that it would be disastrous to
the country to return the roads to
private owners at, this time.
Mr.. Dyer said signatures for the let
ters were obtained from men without
regard to whether they worked on the
railroads. He read several communi-
cations which he said he had re-
ceived.
Mr.. Dyer called attention to a nota-
tion at the bottom of one of the let
ters which said:
Carbon copy to John Scott, A. F.
Of L. building, Washington, D. c." and
told the House that Mr.. Scott prob
ably was the man IN charge OF the
