N the.c operation virtually has been
abandoned by the chiefs Of the -FOUR
great railroad brotherhoods. as well as
by those officers OF the American
Federation o. Labor who heretofore
have gwen 1t support, 1t was revealed
here today.
AS g consequence Of this decision
bin will be introduced in congress by
Representative Nolan. OF California, or
some other members close 10 labor
providing for an extension for two
years after peace - declared OF the
present government controlled opera
ton of the carriers. The two-year
extension, 1t was said here today by
labor leaders, is TO have the approval
of tie railroad administration II does
not have its active support II will
appear in congress Just about the time

mittee completes its draft OF railroad

m!ttee draft or in that framed by the
Cummins committee in the senate -
any such extension provided and IN
the present temper Of congress with
labor and with the feeling there that
the railroads have not been managed
TO the best advantage Of the nation
under the government, 1t is not regard
ed as probable that it will be willing
to put them under such control for
two more years.
The republican majority in congress
has been a violent critic of government
operation almost since II came to be
a fact and 1t is not expected It will
have a change Of heart just becaus
the brotherhoods and the American
Fedora don OF Labor back the railroad
administration for a further extension.
There was some talk today to the ef-
feet that these two branches Of labor
might induce some Of the strong farm
ers' organizations OF the country to
support the two-year plan and II they
are successful in such an effort 1t
might have an important bearing on

his ignorance of tho Minnesota laws
did not so far towards strengthening
his assertion that he was a Minnesota
newspaper man very much Interested
In the good roads movement. and when
charged with being one OF Jim Pierce's
gum shoe shystors from headquarters
at Des Moines, he saw that further
camouflage was useless and admitted
that he was an employe of Pierce.
Here is summary of his story as
told before Ave witnesses in the
Waukon Standard office:
Jim Pierce sent me from Des
Moines personally, with Instructions to
get the dope on the attack on Pierce
and the Iowa Homestead from Ala
makee county. He instructed me to
first visit the office of the Waukon
Standard and get what dope on that
newspaper was obtainable, and the
dope about all literature that has been
circulated in Allamakee county during
the roads campaign.
MY instructions came from Jim
Pierce personally, and my re-
