NEW PLAN TO END
 RAILWAY PROBLEM
Proposal Made to Combine ''De- sirable Factors" of Opposing FactiOns-WOuld Make Strike Illegal.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Railroad re- organization under a plan combining "the most desirable factors" of both government and private ownership and operation, was offered today as solution of the railroad problem by Judge George w. Anderson, of the United States district court, Boston, a former member of the interstate commerce commission, who appeared before the House interstate commerce committee.
 Formation of a federal railroad commission, with broad powers, in- cluding eminent domain, to take over existing transportation facilities, so as to provide a single national high way and carrier system, was advo- cated by Judge Anderson, who admit ted his plan contained no element not already presented in essence but was combination of clements that is radically new"
 Labor would, by the proposals of the witness, have a new status and re- sponsibility, including profit sharing, but strikes would be illegal. Along with capital and the public, labor would have equal representation on the board of directors selected to manage the roads. Rates would be initiated on the service-at-cost prin- ciple by the federal company, subject to approval of the interstate com mission; states would deal with pure ly local questions, such as commuta- tion rates, improvements and safety precautions.
 Present owners of the carriers by his plan would be protected in that all valid and properly outstanding bands would be assumed by the federal com pany and guaranteed by the govern ment, and stockholders in regular dividend paying companies would be permitted ot exchange their holdings

DIRECTOR HINES ISSUES
 STATEMENT ON STRIKE

Washington, Aug. 27.-Director General Hines announced today that the chiefs of the four railroad broth erhoods had sent final instructions" to the men of their organizations par ticipating in railroad strikes on the Pacific coast to return to work imme- diately, and are confident that the in- structions will be complied with.
 "The railroad administration has thought it highly desirable to give the organizations an adequate op- portunity to obtain control of the situation" he said, "but the govern ment is taking the necessary steps to deal with the matter without the lapse of further time unless this last effort of the chief executives of the organizations speedily proves suc- cessful."

on a basis not exceeding the return during federal control, while others would have due process of law. Stockholders in the new company, Judge Anderson proposed, would have an incentive for efficiency, economy and progress by authorizing a divi- dend in excess of the standard one and pro rata issues of new stock at par.
 In the Senate a bill was introduced today by Senator Lenroot, Republi- can, Wisconsin, providing for unifica- tion of the railroads into one private ly owned system with minimum earn ings guaranteed and management shared by the security holders, public and employees.

RAILROAD STRIKE
 GROWING SERIOUS
California Railway Men Refuse to Obey Orders to Return to WOrk-N0 Trains Moving Ordered to Resume Work.

San Francisco, Auug. 27-Although both government and railroad broth erhood officials were straining to pre- vent it's spread, strike of yard and switchn1en and allied crafts was para lyzing steam rail transportation in southern and central California to- night. The men who went on strike as individuals and without former reason, defied definite orders of their union officials to return. In Southern California telegraphic instructions were received from Warren s. Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Engineers, for the men of that craft to resume their posts. The men had the instructions under considera- tion.
 Railroad officials said it was the worst strike in the history of the state.
 No trains moved in or out of Los Angeles. In the great Santa Clara valley pear picking, ceased and can- neries were endeavoring to obtain one thousand motor trucks to bring in and clear their supply. In San Jose an order was issued that gaso- line should be sold only for commer- cial purposes. Milk trains were stalled in many points and freight service over the whole affected area was at a standstill.
 An embargo on all freight coming into the San Francisco Bay district over the Southern and Western Pa cific lines was put into effect. Mail for the East was cleared on the sin gle overland train leaving the Oak land mole for the South on a steamer.
 Officials of the shopmen's union here announced that the men would not participate in the strike. In both San Francisco and Santa Bar bara superintendents and other ex- ecutives "hooked up" trains. Fresno bankers predicted that half of the green fruit shippers would be ruined unless there was quick relief. Los Angeles, Aug. 27.-An order to all members of the brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen who are on strike in Southern California to return to work was received tonight from w. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood, contained the warning that members who failed to obey the order would be suspended.
 "Unless there is decided improve ment the government will take steps to operate the lines," said state ment received from Warren s. tone, chief of the locomotive engineers, and made public here tonight simultan- eously with the order from Lee.

COONtY RETURNS FROM IA[KEEINA;;
 TRAIL GOOD uOW

M. J. Cooney, who had contracted to take the Ryan party to tie end of steel on the coast dvison of the government railroad, arrived in Ne mana on the train last night, little the worse for wear perhaps, but feeling as fit as fiddle.
 Having accomplished his contract and landed his party safe and sound and in the best of spirits at Tal- keetna, after a short rest there. the return journey was commenced in colder weather than any experienced on the outbound trip. Mike also had a passenger in little Miss Mor- rison (S years old). The return journey was begun at noon on Jan uary 22, and the camp at the Cross ing was reached on the afternoon of Tuesday, January 28th. The weather all the way through was cold, the thermometer flucuating be- tween 36 and 60 below.
 On the outbound journey weather conditions were perfect and consid- ering the load carried, very good time was made. The trail all the way through is very good, but ap- proXimately 125 miles of it had been drifted over and the trail breakers had to go ahead with snowshoes, making this part of the journey slow. The Pennington party, who followed, had the ad- vantage of well broken trail.
 Telephone communications have been established at Indian river, which is about thirty miles be- yond the end of steel.
 At Deadhorse, which is purely an A. E. c. camp, MT, Ryan re- quested long stop-over and it was ascertained by phone that there would be no train out of Talkeetna until the 21st. The party stayed there day and half. The Pen nington party caught up with the Ryan party at this point, but as travel was not encouraged to stay at the Commission camp, they were obliged to continue to Talkeetna.
 The trip from Deadhorse to Tal- keetna was made by the Ryan party in three and one-half hours time. The distance between these points is approximately twenty-three miles.

COLLINS AND NORDALE
 LEAVE FOR JUNEAU

E. B. Collins and A. J. Nordale, members of the Territorial House of Representatives, who expected to make the trip to the coast over the Broad Pass trail, are reported to have changed their minds and will leave over the Chitina trail.
 Owing to the cold weather and the fact that no automobile left the upper town today, these gentle men felt that to start later might mean missing the train at Talkeetna, which would involve the stay of one week at Talkeetna and the miss ing of the boat which is scheduled to leave Seward on February 15.

BRITISH ACCEPT
 WILSON THEORY Colonies to Be Internationalized and Administered by the
 League.
Associated PrasS)

LONDON, Jan. 30.-The Daily Mail says that the reported accept ance, by the British government, of President Wilson's theory of inter- nationalizing the German colonies has involved an admission of Eng lands treaties with Japan regarding the Northern Pacific Islands, and with the Arabs regarding Syria.
 These treaties, the report adds, must be modified arbitrarily and the originals torn up. The Japanese delegates are reported to be very angry and to have declared that Japan's unalterable determination will be to claim the islands as promised,
 The Australians believe that Presi- dent Wilson's firm stand in this matter is due to his fear that the Japanese occupation of the islands would impair his prestige in the United States.
 President Wilson fears to meet a hostile Congress in March, as he certainly would if he agrees to the retention of the islands by Japan.

 SEATTLE, Jan. 30.-The Asso- ciated Press, which had been spe- cialy requested to glean further par ticulars regarding the alleged offer made by the government to the Sims Carey company, to complete the Alaska railroad under contract, have been working on the story for several weeks past.
 The Associated Press announced today that it has been unable to develop story regarding the rumor, which would appear to be absolutely without any foundation
 The Sims-Carey company is a large contracting firm and has been engaged in several big gov ernment projects recently
