WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-lf Presi,

Activities at the white house indi-
Gated that President Wilson might
send message to congress with re-
gard to railway legislation early
NEXT week. Members of his staff
were at the railroad administration
offices gathering data and there were
other evidences that Wilson expects

days, will continue today, assa1llng
the labor provisions.
There is concern at the capitol
over what may happen il the roads

today at the capitol that Director
Hines has suggested to President
Wilson three dates for return OF the
roads, including April 1, 1920, July !
and January 1. 1921.
This report said that Hines favored
the last date.
