MR.. LA TOILETTE AGAIN

Failure of the Cummins railroad

representation on the transportation
controversies was attacke ed today by
Senator La Toilette. republican, Wis

against the measure. Senator La Fol-

Senator Knox Takes Issue.
Senator Knox, republican. Pennsyl-

be named by the President with the
advice and consent of the Senate, and
that the President. If he saw fit, might
select all members from labor or
ganizations.

But there is no assurance that la
Dor would be represented" said Sem
atOr La Toilette. If you. look at the
personnel of the first industrial con-

tives were tied hand and foot. They

Entire Country Finds
Partial Relief From
Restrictions on Fuel

The entire country found partial re-
lief day from the rigid restrictions
on CO i consumption enforced through
, the railroad administration as a re-
suit of the fuel dearth caused by the
strike of soft coal miners. Regional
direct ~rs of railroads over practically
the el ,ire country have modified the
restrictions by authority of Director
General Hines. who issued an order
leaving the enforcement of the regu-
lations in their discretion.
Where local conditions permitted the
directors, after receiving tne order.

gave merchants an opportunity to
reap the harvest Of the heavy Christ
mas trade. Some anxiety had been
felt among the retailers over the
limitations of business hours. and in
dustrial plants were facing heavy
losses by enforced shutdowns-
The order of the director general
was taken as an indication that the
government regarded the strike as
practically settled and that soon coal
would be pouring from the mines in
normal volume.
Administrator Garfield Expected.
President Wilson's attitude as to
the resignation of Fuel Administrators
Garfield was expected to be made
known today. Although officials at
the White House advanced the opin-
ion that the resignation would be &C
cepted. there Were no indications tne
President had made a decision. In
the event the resignation was &C
cepted. it was believed the powers OF
the fuel administrator would be
transferred TO the railroad admins

Operators as a whole have not yet
announced their stand on the terms of
the governments proposal. which the
miners accepted as a basis for settle
ment of their grievances. but the OPP
orators of the central Pennsylvania
district. one of the largest in the
United States. accepted the terms I'M

been taken out of the hands of Fuel

TELLS OF REASON

Berlin, Friday, May 30-(By the
Associated Press. German news
papers are commenting more and
more upon the alleged fact that the
full peace terms have not as yet
been published in any entente
country, saying that, on the con-
trary the German league of nations
union has issued the complete text
in German, French and English
with a map showing the German
territory to be ceded, and is givir g
it widespread circulation. The
newspapers declare that the pub
lication of the treaty text is es-
pecially curtailed in France, where
the German replies and answering
notes are also said to have been
suppressed by the censor.
1t is claimed these methods have
been resorted to ito conceal the
severity of the terms from the en-
tente peoples and deprive them of
the opportunity to judge the apt
ness and justice of the German
counter claims"

$4,000 SOLDIERS
HOME THIS MONTH
SAYS SEC. BAKER

Washington, May 31.-Secretary
Baker, in a letter today to Secre-
tary Daniels thanking the navy FOR
the expeditions conversion Of eight
German liners into transports, es-
ti.nated the homeward movement OF
troops this month at 100000 men, a
new high record.
New York, May 31.-Of the 3?0,-
600 troops brought home from
overseas this month, vessels oper-
ated by the cruiser and transport
force of the navy carried more
than 100000, it was announced at
the office of Vice Admiral Albert
GIeves. This represents the work
of 50 ships, former German yes
sells, converted freighters and bat
tIeships and cruisers fitted as
transports. Several ships, includ-
ing the Leviathan and Great North
ern, made two round trips during
the month. The latest addition to
the troops carrying forces, the I'M
perator, will sail on June 2, on her
first reutrn trip from the United
States since 1914. This ship, which
carried only 5000 men on her first
voyage under the American flag.
can now carry 1900 officers and
$500 enlisted men. a crew of 2,2OO.
Inasmuch as the Imperator is
not the property of the United
States and is to be returned, it is
said, as soon as the troop move
ment is over, the navy department
had not made any considerable al
terations to increase her carrying
capacity. The extra space for
troops was created by building
sleeping accommodations that did
not alter the ships interior struc-
ture.
