NOT CERTAIN ABOUT ROADS.
Labor and Farm Delegation Oppose
Their Early Return.

Washington, Dec. 17.-President
Wilson's mind is still open on the
question Of returning the railroads
TO private control, Secretary Tumu]ty
to-day told Il delegation representing
union labor II some farmers or
ga%nizations, which called at the
White House to present a letter ask
ing the executive to delay return of
the roads for two years.
Wants View OF Labor an ,rncrs
This was the first authoritative ex-
preston Oh the subject which had
come from administration quarters
since the President Informed Con-
grcs last May that he planned to re-
Iinquish Federal control by January
l.. The President, Mr.. Tumulty said,
would be glad to get the views OF
the labor and farmer representatives
who insisted that a fair test Of gov
erEment operation in peace time
should be given.
Final Vote Apparent.
While the delegation was at the
White House the Senate was speed
ing III consideration Of the Cummins
railroad bill, and apparently was
nearing a final vote after more than
a week Of debate. Under the mea-
sure the roads would be returned to
their owners within thirty days after
the bill became q law, but there was
no prospect that final enactment Of
any railroad legislation would be
completed until we'll after Christ
mas holidays owing to difference be-
tween the Senate and House.
Ask Withdrawal Of Bill.
Before going to the White House
the union labor and farmers delega-
ton, which included President Com
pers, Of the American Federation Of
Labor, and representatives Of the
railroad brotherhoods, called on
Senator Cummins, chairman Of the
Senate interstate commerce commit
tee, and asked that his bill be with
drawn. He indicated that he would
lay the request before the full COM
mittee.
The letter from the labor and
farmers delegation to the President
said proponents Of the Cummins bill
claimed hat the President planned
to return the roads by January 1,
and that some legislation providing
for such return must be enacted i'm
~mediately.
Injustice Charged.

Humorous department

The Doctors Error.-Velpeau, the
great French surgeon, successfully per-
formed a serious operation on little
child. The mother, overjoyed, called
at the surgeons office and said:
Monsieur, my child's life is saved
and do not know how to express my
gratitude to you. Allow me, however
to present to you this pocketbook en-
broidered by my own hands"
The great surgeon smiled sarcasti-
cally. Madame" he said, my art Is
not merely a matter of feeling. My
life has it's necessities like yours. AL
low me, therefore. to decline your
charming present, and to request some
more substantial remuneration"
But, monsieur" asked the lady,
what remuneration do you desire?"
Five thousand francs"
The lady quietly opened the pocket
book, which contained ten notes of
thousand francs each. counted out five
of them, and politely handing them to
the amazed physician, retired.
