Capacity of Cables Sole

Declares His Only Duties Now

With American Views

PARIS, Jan. I (Delayed) - George
Creel, chairman Of the Committee on
Public Information, commenting to-day,
before his departure for Rome, on re-
ports in Congress ard the American
press, of governmental control over the
cable transmission of press dispatches,
said:
"Thc only rationing done is by the
cable companies themselves. They are
unable to handle all the business which
is coming their way"
In simplifying his statement. cabled
previously, that he wished to have
nothing to do with the representatives
of the press after reaching Europe,
Mr.. Creel recalled the fact that before
departing from Washington he said he
would have no connection with the
work of the American newspaper COR
respondents in Europe.
'This still stands" he continued.
"My sole contact has been personal and
cooperative"

during the course of the day After
the session of the John Doe inquiry
INTO the high cost of milk had been
postponed until Tuesday because DR.
Eugene NJ. Porter, Commissioner of
Farms and Markets and former
director of the Dairymen's League. was
unable to attend, Bradley Fuller, coun-
sci for the Dairymen's League, visited
Mr. Dooling, asking that the inquiry
be discontinued. He protfered 4 plan
whereby six college professors, ali OF
whom have compiled formulas on the
cost OF producing milk, should deter
NINE whether the price demanded by
The Dairymen's League. S4.O1 100
pounds, is fair one. He said that
the league was willing to bring these
men to New York City at its own
expense 10 make the test
Mr.. Dooling asserted point blank
that this would be unsatisfactory to
him, and, he felt, to the consumers.
List of Members Sought
Mr. Manning admitted on the stand
in the John Doe inquiry" he said.
that these formulas are merely esti-
mates. l would like list Of the 10000
farmers who are members of the
league, so that l can mail question
nalres to them requesting their income
ana expenditures, and other data from
January to December of 1918. This,
am certain, would give US fair cri-
terion."
Mr. Fuller replied briefly that he
could not furnish the lists. In state
ment issued later, Mr.. Dooling charged
that the salaries of officials of the
league have been increased for this
year. He cited Mr.. Cooper's, from
$500 to $4,000; Mr.. Manning's, from
$4,000 to $4,000; Treasurer Davison's,
from $4,000 to $4,000, and the appoint
ment of w. w. Hovey to head the CO.
operative plant department for $4,000
year.
Says Expenses Were Cut
Replying to this, Mr.. Manning de-
clared that while the salaries had been
increased as reported. the expenses of
the officials had been curtailed. Last
year, he pointed out, officers were given
expenses while living in this city. and
this had been discontinued.
The purposes and activities of the
league, as outlined by Mr. Manning
yesterday, contrasted strongly with
those outlined by Mr.. Dooling later in
the day.

only to the lives of the travelling pub

Mr.. McAdoo said he did not think it
was possible to effect a permanent So
luton of the railroad problem without
a radical change in railroad organism
and a change in the fundamental laws.
Such changes, he declared, should not
be undertaken without a thorough test.
A five-year test, he said, presuppos
that there would be a comprehensive
capital charge and earning capacity.
Not a Permanent Cure
Senator Gore asked if Mr.. McAdoo
cid not think solution Of the problem
would be repeal of restrictions in the
antitrust act, SO as to permit all the
roads of the country to be merged
under private control into three big
national systems, with pooling agree
ments, etc, all subject to the super
vision Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Mr. McAdoo questioned
the wisdom of this, saying, in any
event, that it would be palliative and
not permanent cure. He denied that
most of the difficulties of the roads
under private management at the time
they were taken over we're due to the
conflicting priority orders Of the gov
eminent.
Senator Mclean, of Connecticut, who
had not previously taken part in the
proceedings, endeavored to get the Di-
rector General to admit that if his
form of Federal control was not sue
cess at the end of the fvc-year period
it would not be accepted by advocates
of government ownership as demon
strating government ownership to be a
failure

Farmers Offer Free MIX
For Hospitals and Poor

AlAIRY FARMERS of this

and the poor, according to
statement received yesterday by
Mrs. Louis Reed Welzmiller, who
has been associated with DR..

terminal markets here. The
statement was telephoned to her

gan, and was said to be author
lied by Harry Culver, director
CT the Dairymen's League.
There would be no charge for
the milk, Mr.. Du Bots told her,
though the farmers would expect
the transportation charges and
the cost of the cans to be paid.
They would ask, he continued.
that the Health Department or
some other municipal department
take over the entire machinery of
distribution and would agree to
abide by the decision Of "anv
competent authority" as to the
price.
