TO PUSH R. R. BILL
Night Sessions of Senate Will
Be Continued.
President Not Fixed in Opinion
ON Return of Roads. .

Washington. Dec. 1S.-Night ses-
sions of the senate. leaders said today.
probably will be continued in an ef-
fort to have the Cummins railroad bill
passed before the holiday recess. The
bill. which is framed to meet the re-
quirements of the railroads, when they
revert to private control, comes up
again today when the anti-strike
clauses with two substitutes will be
considered.
The substitutes were offered by
Senators Mccormick. Republican, Illi-
nois. and Jones, Democrat, New Mex
leo, and were designed along the lines
of the Canadian law. The Mccormick
substitute would prohibit strikes or
lockouts of. employees until sixty days
after decisions by an arbitration
board, which would be required to
render decisions within ninety days.
From the White House. it was an
nounced that President Wilson's mind
was still open on the question of re-
turning the railroads to private con-
troll. The announcement was in re-
sponse ito a petition presented by
delegation representing union labor
and some farmers organizations urg-
ing that the president delay the re-
turning of the railroads for two years.

Fire. Followed Series of Mia

Four Are Injured and -Four
Buildings Are Destroyed.

Dover, N. J.. Dec. 1S.-Fire which
followed an explosion in the Piccatin-
ny arsenal early today resulted in the
injury of four men and the destruc-
ton of four buildings with a loss esti-
mated at more than $1,O00,00O.
The fire started shortly after mid
night and was under, control about 4
O'Clock. The first explosion was dis
tinctly felt here seven miles from the
arsenal.
Causes of the fire were made the
subject of an official investigation by
army officers today. The plant was
said to be deserted at the time, save
for guards.
Heard Forty Miles. ....
The expulsion rocked buildings in
this town and was heard forty miles
away. Maj o. L. Miles, in charge of
the plant, summoned volunteer fire
men from Walton and Rockaway and
marines from the nearby barracks at
Lake Denmark. The work of fight
ing the fire was made hazardous by
exploding shells and it was several
hours before the flames We're brought
under control.

Rails were lower by fractions to III points

a result of the attitude of labor orgapiza-

distillers apparently began today to
lose hope of ridding themselves of
approximately 35.0O0.000 gallons of

day no workable plan for disposing
of the Liquor stocks n Kentucky

at wholesale more than $3.50, 100000,
had been advanced, and whisky inter-
