which must intervene between the
end of federal control and the time
when such a relationship is estab-

must be devised to secure adequate
revenue to the carriers and arrange

NEW YORK, November Coon
tinuance for at least two years of gov
eminent control and operation of the
railroads was urged by Timothy Shea,
acting president of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Ffremen and Enginemen,
in an address on Pending Railway Leg
islation' at the annual dinner last night
CT the Academy of Political Science.
He asserted that ito hurry the rail-
roads now back to private ownership
would be a public calamity
Shea spoke for the four railroad
brotherhoods, the allied shop crafts and
, the American Federation of Labor.
Anti-Strike Provisions.
Abiding to the anti-strike provisions
of the Cummins bill he assorted the
You'd.
1.-THE chief executives of the railway
labor organiza tions," he declared, have
become cOnYipced-and their conclu-
sions are based on actual evidence
that the pending anti-strike legislation
is the indirect outcome of a conspiracy
to reduce the wages of railroad en-
ployeS peiOW tHelT present HldUCqudte
levels.
THE dominating financial interests
in the transportation industry, who i'll
,, the background conspired to bring about
this legislation under the discrimination
of protecting the public against railway
strikes, have decided that when govern
ment control of the transportation in
dustry is terminated they will reduce
the rates of pay of railway workers.
and If strikes result they will break
them by finng or imprisoning the strik-
ers and their leaders. 1t is the same
reasoning and it is the same group
who have attempted to continue the en-
slavement Of the iron and steel workers
by denying them the right of collective
bargaining"
Shea said the failure of the nation
al industrial conference called by
President Wilson was attributed to
these interests" and they ARE the
fundamental forces against bitumi-
nous mine workers, and are at the
bottom of the conspiracy to exploit
both the miners and the consumers of
coal"

The Beetles Stayed.

Recently a carload Of beetle-infested
potatoes arrived in Los Angeles The
startling thing about this was that the
car came from Idaho, where the potato
beetle is extinct.
An investigation was made by Fred
erick Maskew, state quarantine officer
Of California, and 1t was found that
the same car had been used a little
earlier to carry load of potatoes out
Of Colorado, where the beetle flour
ishes. Obviously after these potatoes
were removed, the beetles lurked in
out-of-the-way corners, waiting for a
fresh load. The department Of agricul-
ture is taking steps to have freight
cars cleaned at the point Of unloading
