Many Problems Face
Delegates to Meeting
Of Northern Baptists

Denver, May 20.-Mofe than 1000
of the 25,000 delegates to the North
ern Baptist convention, which will
open its weeks session in the Muni-
cipa1 auditorium tomorrow morn
ing, had arrived tonight for what
promises to be the most noteworthy
meeting in the history of the de-
nomination.
Postwar problems, reconstruction
plans, worldwide missions on a
greater scale than ever attempted
before and new plans of financing,
which are regarded as radical from
time-honored customs, are to come
before the great gathering repre-
senting 10000 churches in IS states.
Outstanding problems on the eve
of the convention were the proposals
for an inter-church federation to
finance to all religious work of 80
denomina tons and creation of gen.
eral planning board to prepare and
approve budgets for every depart
ment of church work covered by the
convention. Sentiment is sharply
divided on these questions and it
was considered improbable they
would be adopted without spirited
discussion.

Progressives Refuse

Borah and Johnson were giver

places by the progressives. Senate,
Lodge, however, refused to recon

Baker Rules Tolls Of
City Bridge Are Just; y
Will Benefit Omaha

Sioux City, Ia, May 20.-(Spe-
cial Telegram )-Secretary of War
Baker today decided that the tolls
on the mbination bridge over the
Missouri river here, connecting this
city with South Sioux City, Neb.,
were not excessive, and orders them
continued. He orders the company
to create a sinking fund to replace
the bridge in the event of its
destruction or to rebuild it when it
becomes obsolete. The decision
comprises several hundred words.
Sioux City men declare the decision
will precipitate movement for the
construction of a new free bridge.
Bakers decision is favorable to
Omaha in view OF the fact that con-
siderable trade will be detected to
that city which would come to

n This assembly learns with pain
that the president of the United

Increased Freight

Railroad Director

Judgment we ought not be
precipitate in increasing transporta-
ton rates." declared Walker D.
Hines, director general of railroads,
before the convention of the Broth
erhood of Railway Clerks, Freight
Handlers, Express and Station
House Employees, here today.
"One of the greatest problems
confronting the American public"
File continued, "is how to prevent fur
ther increase in the cost of living
and how to get the high cost of liv-
ing down to normal basis without
interfering with the standard OF
wages and improved working condi-
tions, that have justly been granted
to the workers.
There is serious danger. in in
creasing transportation rates, of Civ.
ing a pretext for unnecessary and
unjustihable advance in \ prices of
necessities. An increase OF railroad
rates to produce $S00,000.000 a year
needed to cover the deficit in rev.
enue to meet expense, might result
in adding billions to the cost of food,
clothing and other articles. In the
name OF. humanity such condition
must be averted, if possible. And /
am hopeful that it is possible.

to congress that wartime prohibition
be suspended insofar as wine and

news of the presidents recommends
ton spread.
Rudolph Samet, president of the
California State Brewers associa-

to renew brewing of beer imme-

plans for removal of breweries to
China or elsewhere will be tenn
