RETURN Of ROADS
MAY Be DELAYED
UNTIL NEXT APRIL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Return
been postponed by President Will
son until April i, at the earliest it
was generally believed here today.
1t seemed virtually certain the lines
could not possibly be handed back
January 1, as Mr.. Wilson said last
May he intended to do.
Congress has passed no legislation
to regulate and care for the roads
when the government relinquishes it's
control. In addition, with the gov
eminent exercising it's control of the
fuel supply mainly through the rail-
roads, the president is believed to
have abandoned plans for the return
until the present situation clears
pp.
= Congress, in accordance with the
presidents message at the opening
of the regular session, expected some
word from him ON the railroad prob
lem, before it's adjournment for the
Christmas holidays. Having received
none. the be1fef prevails IN congress
sionaI circles, that the president will
allow congress to set the date for
the return. Both senate and house
bill provide that the return shall
| DO the last day of < the month in
which the act is approved unless
that date is after the fifteenth of
the month in which case the return
date is the last of the following
month. The president, soon after
congress meets, is expected to make
known his views on the railroad
question, and to discuss the various
matters involved in the Esch and
Cummins bills.
Strengthening the belief that the
owners will not get their lines back
in the immediate future Is the fact
| that the railroad executives have
not been told to prepare for private
operation. The shop employees in
fpresenting demands for increased
| wages to Director General Hines
| were advised, it Is understood, that
the roads would not go back Jan
uary 1, or shortly thereafter, and
accordingly agreed to delay press
ing their demands for a short time.

Holiday Bomb Scare
~ Fails to Materialize

WASHINGTON Dec. 24.-The
"Christmas bomb scarce" has failed
to materialfze, as far as could be
learned here today. No warnings
have been issued againsE bombs in
Yuletide packages. The plot to Gre
ate reign of terror during the hol-
iday season by distribution of infer
nal machines through the mail, wrap
ped to resemble gifts, was believed
to have been broken up by the ac-
tivities of postoffice inspectors, Sc
cret service men and special agents
of the department of, justice. That
such a plot had been Matched, first
was reported several months ago, be-
fore the government started ito cam

OHIO WILL NOT Be
neglected BY CONGRESS
Congressman LOngwOrth Secures
Promise That Ohio VIII Be In
cluded in Congress Program.
ESTABLISHED 1886.

Representative Longworth has been
successful in getting promise from
the Chairman of the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors that the Ohio Riv-
err will not be neglected in the franz
ing Of future river and harbor bills
Mr.. Longworth directed series Of
questions to Chairman Small from the
House floor. He wanted to know
whether the failure to make any ap-
preparation this year for the Ohio was
to be considered as precedent to
govern the committee in framing flu
ture river and harbor bills.
Chairman Small in reply said the
cessation of work on the Ohio during
the war period had left something
over $1O,00O,O0O on hand to be spent
in improving the river during the
coming fiscal year; that the amount
was ample for all needs, and that he
could give his positive assurance that
the omission of the usual Ohio River
improvement appropriation from the
pending bill was not intended as a
precedent for future action. With this
assurance Representative Longworth
and the Ohio River members will sup
port the bill now before the House.
