 ON DEGREE TO
 RETURN ROADS
President Holds Advance in Wages and Prices Must Be
 Brought to End

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-President Wilson's proclamation returning the railroads to private control March l, lends a new aspect to wage problems now before Director General Hines.
 In the opinion of railroad admins tration officials the presidents order made public last night should tran quilize the labor situation, inasmuch as the time of government control is extended by two full months. Union officers who have been pressing for a settlement of their demands before the roads went back. on the supposi- tion that the transfer would be made on January l, the date originally set, have not indicated how the proclama- tion will affect their plans.
 The only wage demands now before MT. Hines are those of the 500,000 shopmen, who were refused a general increase of 25 per cent last summer, President Wilson and the director general taking the position that the war cycle of advancing wages and in creasing living costs must come to an end and the government be given a fair chance to compel a return to nor nal profits.

NE M YORK FINDS EMF PTY SEATS AT I TABLES SET FUR ? OOR Prosperity and Prohibition Make Holiday Charity
 Superfluous BOWERY MISSION
 SERVES ONLY 400 Organizations Cheer Homes. But Hungry Single Men
 Are But Few

NEW YORK, Dec 25.-Cnristmas dinners went begging on the Bowery tonight. Roast turkey with all it's trimmings" candy and mince pie failed to attract half as many hungry men as were served in former years. This was attributed to prosperity and prohibition.
 The famous Bowery mission served only 400 persons, where in former years they have been called to provide for at least 1,500. At Hadley's rescue hall fewer than 300 appeared for din- ner. Many missions did not serve the usual Christmas repast because of the lack of applicants.
 The usual Christmas noon hour din- her at the McAuley Water street mis- sion was postponed because of the lack of applicants. Not man ap- peared at noon, although 400 pounds of turkey and many good things had been prepared. A few years ago it was not unusual for the mission to feed 1900 but tonight fewer than 300 hungry men appeared.
 Families Get Help
 Outside the Bowery, Christmas cheer was spread into many humble homes by organizations. institutions and individuals.
 Rhe SalvatiCn Army furnished Christmas dinners to more than 5000 families. More than 500 merchant sailors were entertained at dinner at the Institute of the American Sea- mems society. Several army trucks bearing Christmas trees and thou sands of presents, made tours of the poorer sections.
 Nearly 1000 children were made happy with gifts. valued at s14.OOO. and distributed at the annual Christ mas tree celebration of the New York lodge of Elks. Approximately ten tons of Christmas supplies were dis tributed by the Knights of Columbus to wounded soldiers.
