WOULD HURRY BILL
TO RESTORE ROADS
Leaders of House Hope to
Force Vote on Measure
by Saturday.

The railroad bill to restore the rail-
road lines of the country to private
ownership was taken up in the House
today, with the intention of the lead
ers to force q vote upon this measure
by Saturday in order that the present
special session of Congress may be
adjourned.

which has been holding hearings and
considering the best safeguard under
which the railroads can be restored to
private ownership, explained the gen.
eral terms of the measure. and why
the majority of the committee was
persuaded to adopt them and recon-
mend their passage to the House. He
discussed the six principal proposals
for disposition of the railroads. call
ing attention to the weak points in
each as they appeared to the commit
tee. He was followed by Representa-
tive Sims of Tennessee, the ranking
democrat, who urged the advantages
of public ownership.
Expect Final Vote Saturday.
The House met at 10 o'clock today
as a result of a conference of the
leaders. who believe that final vote
can be reached by Saturday. General
debate will end tomorrow, under the
night.
The speeding up of the House pro-
gram followed the statement by Sem
ator Lodge. republican leader. that the
Senate probably would dispose of the
German peace treaty by the end of the
week. This would mean under present
plans, the adjournment of the special
session Of Congress and action by the
Senate on the railroad bill would so
over until the regular session, begi1-
ming in December.
Labor provisions of the House and
Senate bills differ. The Senate bill
contains a so-called "anti-strike" clause,
while the House measure carries plan
for conciliation through voluntary ar
bitration of disputes.
Representative Blanton, democrat,
Texas, voiced the first opposition to
the House measure when he declared
the labor provisions were ridiculous
and gave the public no assurance
against continued tie-up of govern
ment industries.

auspices of the Department of the Interior will go over our railroad and its various ad- Juncts for inspection purposes. AS to the committee making any detailed investigation at this time regarding the manner in which the project has been carried on the schedule as it has been announced indicates that such Is not the purpose of this committee
 It seems to be the intention to go over the route and make a cursory inspection of What has been done: to get a first hand glimpse of the great country which they have heard so much about in recent years and which the government is opening up for set tlement by the construction of the project which they will inspect And it will take them some time to do this.
 A hurried trip thru the country will fail to give them a real conception of the true pos abilities for unrivaled prosperous develop ment. Surface indications can hardly give them an idea of the vast resources of the country which is dependent upon them and their fellows for legislation to encourage de- velopment That committee could devote months instead of days to the study of Alas kan conditions and the country thru which the railroad is passing and still go away with
 
 It will be a first trip to the North for these congressman. The impression which they take away with them will be a lasting one and one upon which they will base their attitude on legislation for Alaska. It is up to Us to see that they get the right viewpoint
 If they get the notion that we are barna- Cles Clinging to the sides of dead ship we might as well close up shop and move. Not even a congressman has any time for a dead town
 The outward sign of prosperity can be shown them in well-kept, clean, orderly streets, sidewalks in repair, good gardens, well stocked business houses, and other marks of civic pride The time which we have to put our town in such condition is none too long, There are several streets in various sections of town across which the Weeds growing rank in rainy weather, almost lap The city should see that they are cut down and hauled away.

COMPANY WILL
 REDUCE RATES

NEW YORK, July 31.-(P) One of the first acts of the Postal Tele- graph and Cable company after it had resumed control of its lines at mid night, tonight, was to announce a reduction in telegraph rates of twenty percent. The Western Union officials stated that they intend to retain the tariffs instituted by Post master General Burleson during his administration of the systems.
 The reduction of the Postal com pany will place the telegraph rates back on the same basis as they were before the government took control of the lines. The bill providing for the return of the systems to the private owners allows the companies to retain the advanced rates if they so desire for certain length of time

TRAINMEN DISSATISFIED.

AlthO the highest paid class of workers in the country under the present wage scale are the railroad employees, especially those in the train service department, their leader has de- Cared that unless another raise in wages is given or the prices on the neCessarles of life reduce the trainment will strike by October l. If the trainmen cant live on what they now receive for their work the rest of the workers turnout the country must be in the same condition.
 The strongest unions in America are those composing the Big Four" brotherhOods of railway workers. Since the government took control of the railroads of the country they have received advances in wages totaling many millions of dollars. Their demands for an eight hour day as the basis for wages were also recognized Of all labor, union and non-union they have less ground for dissatis- faction.
 It is probably too true that it costs an excessive amount to live. Most AlaSkanS can testify that the purchasing power of dollar has depreciated so greatly Tn value that even the development of their country IS being se- riously retarded. With everything else radi cally advanced machinery, food, clothing, etc.-the price of gold has remained where it was before the war and the Alaskan worker gets no more than he got at that time.
 Most people will agree that the high cost of living should be materially reduced, and that without delay. But when the train men come along and use it for the excuse to demand even more money for their ser vices, it begins to look as if they were using other peoples straits as a leverage to gain their own selfish ends A reduction in the cost of commodities will benefit the entire nation, but an advance in the pay of the trainmen will be beneficial to them alone

San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland five hundred dollars in cash awards are to be given for letters detailing the most memorable incidents of the great Nome rush, no reservation be ing made regarding the incidents, which may concern any happening that appeals to the sourdough as memorable.
 Mir Katteriohn who created the photoplays Carmen of the Klondike" and The Flame of the Yukon" is soon to undertake the production of his most pretentious Alaskan photo story and desires to employ actual incidents of the goId-mad days of Nome when picturng his newest film play
 Any man who was in Nome during 1899 and 1900 may supply the desired incident" says Mr. Katteriohn "I am seeking the sourdough's indiyidual opinion of what was memorable The incident may be deep with pathos, or rib-tickling in its funninrss: tense with yirile action or joyous in its TO- nance. One person may think a cor- tain incident was memorable. while an utterly different matter appealed to some one else Actual names and dates are desired, tho these will no, be diyulged Style and manner of writing will not influence the decision of awards Every letter received will be seriously considered, whether written in ink or with pencil, despite length or brevity. and on any kind of paper High sounding words will have no value. The incident is the thing and almox any sourdough is likely to furnish just what is wanted"
 The total award of five hundred dollars will be distributed as follows: For the incident deemed most suita- ble, $20O; second, $1OO; third. $50, and payments of $1O each for the neN' fifteen accounts of memorable events. Where the letter is accompanied by pictures and photographs, five dollars each will be paid for their use These pictures and photographs will be re turned unharmed. The only Iipula- ton is that all letters should be mail ed from Alaska before August goth 1919, and addressed to Monte Nj Katterjohn, Waldorf building, Venice, California.
 It is claimed that more than a hundred thousand dollars will be lay- ished on this greatest of all Alaskan film dramas. and no effort or expense will be spared to make it the most authentic picture of it's kind yet pro duced. As yet untitled. it will be released as a Katterjohn Special of not less than seven reels length a full evenings entertainment.

WHY FRANCE WANTS A TREATY

Under the provisions of the special treaty which President Wilson Wednesday presented to the senate and which by royal assent has become a law in England, both the United States and England are pledged to come to the aid of France in case of un provoked assault upon the latter by Germany The President promised the French govern ment he would submit it to congress and recommend it's approval
 If one wishes to be hostile to the League of Nations, the French desire for such a tteatv can be interpreted as showing a pro- found Cynicism on their part toward the real usefulness of the covenant; but such a con- tenton overIooks several vital facts. The creation of a special understanding of this type Is not in any way substitute for the operation of the League, nor does 1t lnVa1- date the procedure which is to be set up under the latter France knows by bitter experience that when Germany strikes she strikes quick ly The action of the League will be neCesSa- rily fairly complicated, and complications mean delay Tho an assault of the type specified in the proposed treaty would with out question bring about action thru the League France hopes under this special en- actment to 'short circuit the process and thus prevent her territories from being over rum
 To us at this distance it may seem as tho Germanys present state is sufficient guar antee against any such danger as France fears, but the French mind is incurably real stc. they remember their own amazing re- covery after 1870, and with the horror of the past four years still fresh in their ears and eyes they are determined to leave no stone unturned in guarding against repe- titiOn of the catastrophe. The worst Pan German has always admitted that if the kaiser had known England and the United States would have come in there would have been no war France asks the assurance which will, she feels, be in itself guarantee that the force it promises will never be needed.
 The objections raised by the opposition senators that such a treaty will be an aban- donment of our traditional policy toward Europe present an argument for refusing the arrangement Our policy of non-interference in European affairs was abandoned in 1917 and today we are tardily attempting to recog nize the facts of situation which has ex isted for years; that anything which vitally affects the peace of the eastern hemisphere is sure to involve the western world and we must meet the responsibilities winch our pO- SltiOn entails.
 It is apparent that the proposed treaty will receive careful consideration from the senate. Its opponents are undoubtedly nu- merous and among some of their arguments there will surely be some of not inconsidera be weight If they contend, however, that this document shows the cynical attitude of Europe toward the League of Nations, and offer that as an argument for keeping the United States out of the League, they will be guilty of gross perversion of the facts.
 The treaty provides for nothing that is not specified in the covenant o1 the League of Nations. It merely assures France of quicker action should the need ever arise.
