SENATE MEASURE:
MAKES STRIKERS
subject TO ZINE
Drastic Provisions in Bill Which
Returns Railroads to Their
Owners.
DEBATE WILL FOLLOW
DISPOSAL OF TREATY
Strict Government Supervision of
Rails Also is Observation-Disclosures
ment May Be Result of
Walkout Under Plan.

Washington, Oct. 18.-Permanent
railroad legislation was advanced a
step today, the senate interstate
commerce committee completing
work on it's bill providing for re-
turn of the railroads to prva,e
ownership and operation, under strict
government supervision, and with
drastic provisions against strikes or
lockouts.
The bill is to be reported out early
next week and placed in position for
senate debate Immediately after dis
posal of the treaty, with leaders
planning it's passage next month.
Anti-strike provisions of the bill
provide fines of $500 or six months
Imprisonment, or both, for railroad
employees or officials or others con-
victed of participating in, or aiding
strikes or lockouts.
The prohibition against aiding
strikes was inserted, committee
members said, to reach both radicals
and labor leaders who laid, abet,
council, command, induce or procure"
action toward strike.
In order that grievances of en-
ployes may be heard and adjusted,
the committee provided for the es-
Establishment of general and regional
committees on railway wages and
working conditions, to be composed
equally of railroad employees and
employers.
In it's principal features, the final
committee bill is similar to the orr
ginal Cummins draft. It provides
for return of the roads within 80
days after the enactment to private
operation and control under regula-
ton of the interstate commerce COM
mission and new federal transpor-
tation board.
Creation of not less than Is or
more than Is competitive, regional
railroad systems by the transporta-
ton board is proposed, and the in
terstate commerce commission is au-
thorized to fix rates which will make
certain return Of at least S 1-2
per cent on the actual value Of the
railroads in the regional systems,
plus 1-2 of one per cent for improve
ments. Earnings above six per
cent are to be divided between the
carriers and the board.

WOULD POSTPONE OLD
AGE BY THE GRATING
OF YOUTHS GLANDS

Paris, Oct. 1S.-Dr. Serge
Voronoff, who claims he can
postpone old age by grating
lnterstitial glands, points out
IN an article in the Journal to-
day that the internal secretion
of glands such as the thyroid
and suprarenal continue alive
for three hours after death of
the body and therefore advo-
Gates that bodies of young
and healthy persons killed in
accidents should be rushed to
special hospitals where pa
tients are suffering from cur
able maladies. He saws the
grating glands could be
grouped and put in cold stor-
age where they can be kept in
definitely.
Unfortunately" writes DR..
Voronoff, "prejudices and law
now prevent this. Our sec
ular customs require that our
perishable bodies be consign-
ed to the earth, where they
slowly and uselessly are con-
sumed."

FINAL CRASH OF
TR0TzKY-LEN|NE
REGIME IS Near
Final Act of Red Drama in Rus
STA is Inevitable, Say
Experts.
ONLY INERTIA OF
ANTS DELAYS FALL
kronstadt and Petrograd Unoffici-
ally Reported to Have Been
Taken-Letts Are Max
ing Gains.

Washington, Oct. 18.-"The final
crash of the Trotsky- Lenine regime
may be delayed some weeks, but it is
inevitable"
Official information received here
thus summarizes the situation in
Russia. The closing act of the Red
drama is already under way, accord
ing to reports from military attaches
and special agents.
Only the INERTIA" of the anti-bol-
sheviki groups has permitted the
present Moscow government to re-
main alive beyond September Is, one
official who had made special study
of the situation said. The bolsheviki
organization, the reports say, has
been so poor that only a push was
necessary to start the fall. This push
has been lacking because thert was
no efficient cooperation between the
anti-red leaders.
General Denikine's advance tcvaru
Moscow, the campaign of attritloh
waged by the Northwest Russian vol
unteers and the stiffening of Admiral
Kolchak and his Cossack allies, the
reports say, have furnished more
than the hoped for pressure.
"A continuation of this pressure
by any one of these forces for one
week will finish the matter" de-
clares one military expert. "The Brit
ish alone, through then assistance to
the northwestern group, operating
in the Esthonia sector, can turn the
trick"
London, Oct. 18.-The white flag
was hoisted over the Bolshevik fort
ress of Kronstadt on Friday night,
according to a Helsingfors dispatch
quoting Finnish general staff re-
port.
London, Oct. 18.-Further advices
from Scandinavian sources that Pc
trograd had been entered by forces
of the Russian northwestern army
were received this afternoon. The
Skanska Dagbladt, of Stockholm, ac-
cording to a message from the Swed-
ish capital, reported that the cavalry
of the army had reached Petrograd.
Copenhagen, Oct. 18.-Premier
Ulmann Of Letvia telegraphed today
from Riga announcing that the Let's
on Thursday afternoon recaptured
Dunamunde, the port at the mouth of
the Duna, northwest of Riga, from
the Germano-R Russian forces.

G. o. p. Is Angered.

Washington, Oct. 18.-Republican
leaders declared emphatically today
that the senate would not consent to
participation by American represen-
tatives in the league of nations or
other international commissions I'M
til the peace had been ratified by
the senate and specific laws enacted
later by congress authorizing such
representatives and providing for
their expenses.
Opposition to Premature participa-
tion Of American representatives
these leaders said, is so pronounced
that a new reservation declaring that
appointment of American delegates
shall await legislation by congress,
is under consideration. The sug-
gestion fora specific reservation on
this point, it was said, has come gen
orally from the entire republican
membership of the senate.
Today's reports from Paris re-
garding the American representatives
brought vigorous private citicism
fom republican leaders of the SEN
ate, and this was expected to be re-
newed later on the snat floor. They
declared appointment of American
delegates before the senate acted on
the treaty would be an affront to
the senate and another usurpation of
power by the executive branch of
the government.
Administration senate leaders on
the other hand declared the presi-
dent had full power to appoint Amer
lean representatives on the commits
sions though they expressed doubt
that he would do so if the senate
made formal objection.
Any attempt to put the senate on
record as opposing such step would
be certain to fail, they predicted, cit
ing in support of their prediction the
defeat of the Fall amendments. to
the peace treaty proposing elimina-
ton Of the United States from rep
resentation on these commissions.
The administration senator's said
they knew Of no movement for an
affirmative expression by the, senate
authorizing acceptance of the offer
of the supreme council, and did not
expect one. Until the senate acted
on the treaty, they added, the ne
gotiations for tn establishment of a
peace status were in the hands Of the
executive entirely.
