Further Action to Await
Illness Conference With
Cummins and Esch ON
Measures Now Pending
Message Not a Certainty
Officials Still Doubtful
Whether Lines Will Be
Returned on January 1

WASHINGTON. Dec. s.-pres,dent
Wilson will not begin preparation Of
his special message to Congress on the
railroad situation until Director Cen
eral Hines has conferred with Senator
Cummins and Representative Esch,
chairmen Of the Senate and House In
terstate Commerce committees, on the
pending railroad bills, it was said to-
day at the White House.
1t was intimated the status Of legis-
lation might be such that the President
would not regard it as necessary to
address Congress on the subject. Lead
ers in Congress are determined to press
the bills, but they have expressed doubt
that their enactment could be COM
pleted before the holidays.
Measures Differ on Strikes
Each Of the measures provides for
return Of the roads to private opera
tion within a specified time, but they
are different in other respects, par
ticularly as to the method Of dealing
with strikes and lock-outs. and these
differences will have to be composed
in conference.
In view Of the Presidents statement
to Congress yesterday, that he ex-
pected to treat the railroad question
in a separate message, there has been
speculation in official and railroad
circles as to whether he intended to
adhere to his previously announced
plan to return the roads to private
operation by January I.
1t is suggested the President may
await action of Congress on the pend
ing legislation. Those at the White
House refuse, however, to comment.
Cummins Explains Bill
The Senate resumed consideration o.
the railroad bill to-day with Senator
Cummins continuing his explanation o1
legal as we'll as moral obligation tt
return the roads in as good condition
as when taken over, Senator Cummins
said, and it also must pay promptly
money owing the roads.
Senator Cummins pointed to the in
creased number of railroad employees
as one of the causes of increased cost
Of operation under Federal control
There were 190,537 more employee:
last July i. he said, than in December
1917,
Misapprehension exists over pay in
creases given railroad employees, Sen
ator Cummins said. "While the increase
in compensation has generally beer
thought EXCESSIVE" he added. "it act
ually has been below that of employee!
in similar occupations, little over Al
per cent, in fact"

at two o'clock the soldiers and sailors
forming d guard Of honor, a bronze
tablet was unveiled on the porch Of
the school house, by Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederickson, who have now received
authentic information as to the death
| of their boy, a letter with his bank
book having been found on his body
by the Germans. and forwarded to
his parents.
The "taps" were sounded by band
master Bittrich. Soldiers were then
photographed. The people then
marched from school to a specially
erected platform where a selection
was given by the band, after which
District Judge Clague gave q patriotic
address, with a keenly appreciated
| forcefulness, warning US of the trend
of the times, and the need for all tc

be some daylight fireworks of par
ticular interest.
Two Flights Daily.
No fair will be quite satisfactory
this year without an airplane and the
management of the coming event at
Redwood Falls has made excellent ar
rangements to take care of this fea-
ture. Lieutenant Walter Minor VIII
make two flights daily and t.;is will
undoubtedly prove one of the most
attractive features of the daily pro-
gram. In the intervals between his
regular flights it is probable that Lieu
tenant Minor will take passengers up
into the air and this will prove an
other attraction.
The night programs will be COM
bination of the vaudeville program OF
the day and fine display of pyro-
technics, with more set pieces than
have ever been shown in Redwood
Falls before. In addition there will
be splendid display of general flre-
works. And of course there will be
dancing during the entire evening for
| anv who care for it. The Pike also
promises to be good one this year,
complete with merry-go-round and
Ferris Wheel, ETC.. and this part OF
/ the grounds is always most attrac-
tive under the artificial lighting at
night. :,
/ Races AS Usual.
No one who has ever attended the
Redwood County Fair will need to be
told that the horse races are the best
in the state, outside of the state fair,
and many of the horses who annually
make the state fair come out on the
3. Corn Belt Circuit which includes Red
wood Falls. Judge A. G. Dolliff, who
1 has been in charge of the speed pro
gram for several years is again In
i charge and is confident that when the
i entries close he will have as fine q
list of horses as will be seen at any
similar event anywhere in the north
west.
School Exhibit Good.
The schools of Redwood County
have always supplied one of the very

so again this year. Under the direc

Sanborn P. O. Robbed

The safe in the Sanborn post office
was blown by craftsman at about 2:3O
a. m. Wednesday morning. The cracks
in the safe were carefully soaped and
enough -glycerine used to blow
the heavy door clear OF from the
safe. Neighbors heard the explosion,
and a number of suspicious charac-
tiers were seen about town during the
night. The east end section house
IN the railroad yards was first brok-
en- into, and a pick, several IRON
lunches and a Jimmy" were taken
with which to break open rear
window in the post Office and pry out
the inner doors of the safe. Section
foreman Carl Colburn noticed the
broken lock on his repair shop IN the
morning.
A window in the Office OF the Farm
ers Elevator was also found open IN
the morning, but nothing OF value
was missing.
The work was evidently pulled on
bv professionals, as no novice would
take the chance with the explosive

| Several hundred dollars worth OF
stamps and about $50 IN cash were
taken from the safe, besides ? lot Of
paners and paid money orders which
were Of 10 value to the "yeggs.

CHILDREN MUST have
PLENTY OF FRESH MILK

The need for public action to place
clean milk within the reach of every
family having little children is en-
phasized in report on the New Or
leans milk situation. issued by the
children's bureau. department of la
Dor. It is shown that 70 per cent of
the children under years Of age who
were not breast fed were getting no
fresh milk at all to drink. Only 20
of the 413 children from 2 to 7 years
old included in the study were drink
ing as much as, three cups Of fresh
milk a. day. Only 60 per cent Of the
babies under years old. who are not
nursed by their mothers. have milk to
drink, leaving more than one-third of
these little children without fresh
milk.
The situation, says the report. gives
cause for grave concern because the
children are not only being deprived
OF the best and most nourishing food
for normal development, but they are
being given injurioi1s substitutes. OF
1913 children I years or younger Who
are not breast fed and are getting no
fresh milk to drink, 245 are given tea
or coffee in place Of it.
Although figures regarding income
were not secured. sthe families are OF
about the same economic status :as

ington study. where more than three
.fourths Of the families were living on

rotary George w. Lawson urged
support of the proposal to establish
a legal aid department in the State
Federation of Labor.
After describing the legal advice
maintained by the State Employers

dcvOlves upon the two officials of
