LA TOILETTE AND
LOVETT DIFFER ON
RAILROAD s NEEDS
Wisconsin Senator Urges Gov
ernr1ent Ownership As the
Proper Solution of Trans
portation Problems.

Washington, Doc. lO.--Attacldng
the Cummns railroad bill as a meas
ure especially designed to help the
roads with their return to private
ownership, Senator LaFollette, repub-
lican Winconsin, declared in the SEN
ate today that its enactment would
constitute the greatest stain on leeis-
lation in the history Of the American
nation"
There is nowhere in this bill one
clause in the interest Of the people, ="
said Senator LaFollette, who charged
that the measure sought to validate
"all the chicanery of n years of rail-
road jugglery" and gtsten it on the
people.
Contending that government owner
ship was the ultimate solution of the
railroad problem. the Wisconsin sem
ator declared the plan had not been
given a fair test, because there had
been an organized press and railroad
attempt to discredit 1t. In framing the
bill to meet conditions arising with
the end of the wartime federal con-
troll. Senator LaFollette said that the
senate interstate commerce committee
had not given a full hearing to the
''army of railway employees vitaily
concerned in the future policy of deal
ingNwith the great transportation sys-
tens"
When the senate recessed tonight
Senator LaFollette had not concluded
his address and he will resume to-
morrow.

Lovett Expreases Xlcws.

While Senator LaFollette was as
sailing the Cummins bill, Robert s,
Loyett president of the Union Pacific
system, in a statement sent to mem
bers Of congress, declared the measure
"had the merit at least of recognizing
the facts OF the railrGad situation and
tho courage of grappGnr with them
in an honest attempt to solve the
problem"
Judge Lovett described what he
considered as the good and bad fea-
ture" Of the Cummins aad the Esch
bills, declaring that the most amaZ-
ing provision Of the Esch measure, as
amended by the house dealt with
labor"
1T effectually pernetuates every
wage increase and every working rule
or regulation made by the railroad
administration during the stress of
the war and abnormal conditions re-
sulting therefrom' he said.
Mr.. Lovett objected to the section
of the Cummins bill declaring five and
q half per cent on the value of the
railroad property as determined by
the interstate commerce commission

eating all in excess of six per cent

Charges Cohfiscation.

Il deny that our people are in favor
of confiscating the net earnings of a
railway company, saved by it out of
reasonable rates established or ap-
proved by the government itself" MIR.
Lovett said. Further increase in
freight rates undoubtedly are neces-
sary, as the governments own exper-
fence with the railroads shows he
said, adding that no well informed
persons could expect railway wages
to be materially reduced under exist
ing conditions.
The chamber Of commerce of the
United States, in a statement today
calling attention to its referendum
last year on needed railroad legisla
tion, said that unless the government
adopted railroad policy that would
enable private corporations to meet
expenses and obtain necessary capi-
tai corporate operation viii fail and
the government will have to resume

VOYAGE. began the passage of the canal a.
once. Hoagland was now constantly on
the bridge and in the chart room, for the
Red Sea was an Infamous region of rocks
and shoals, unless one kept with circum-
spection to the route OF the steamship
lines down it's longitudinal centre. Hoag-
land didn't fancy the idea of these land
ings along the Egyptian coast, and when a
day later they passed the straits of Jubal
he gave a gasp of relief. He was grateful
for Alan's order for half speed, which per-
mitted careful soundings as they turned
in to the westward, where they moved
along as closely as possible to the shore,
scanning the coast with powerful glasses
for signs of villages, and landing boats
from time to time to investigate.
1t was just here, OF Jeftun, upon a fall
ing tide, that the Turkana ran neatly upon
an uncharted shoal Of sand and there re-

the Turkana full speed astern. She moved
a little and then seemed to settle more
firmly. The matter was getting serious
That night and all the next day Hoagland
struggled, but at last from sheer WEAKNESS,
gave the effort up to rest his men. To
make matters worse, one Of the crew had
badly smashed his hand and arm in the
kedging operations and two others were
down with fever from working out in the
open boats in the broiling sun.
Alan, who was chafng under the delay,
was for sending out an s. o. s., but Hoag-
land wouldn't agree. His pride was even
hurt at the suggestion. But in the early
morning, nothing apparently having been
accomplished, Alan formed a resolution
and made his way to the wireless room
with the intention of putting it into prac-
tise.

gan, when the instrument as though in re-

There's one thing we can count on, and
that is that he hasn't crossed the canal.
Everything points to his going south. I'm
moving on that assumption. It's pretty
nearly pure guess work, where he is just
now, but if we can head him of" and he
glanced at Dawson, "or better still, if we
can catch him on the sea-
I'VE could sink him nicely
AYE" grOwled HOagland, with the

Alan laughed. THAT would be too easy
But we've got to figure this thing out on
all theories in miles and minutes.

entrance of the canal, the impassiYe

Refiners, Enabled to Pay

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The govern

the Sugar Equalization Board Is dis
solved December 81. As a result sugar
prices are expected to soar.
Attorney General Palmer. in making
this announcement to-day, said that
as no funds had been provided by Con-
gress for carrying orf the work of
handling sugar, the Department or JUS
tlce would contine it's efforts to the
punishment Of profteers.
In explaining the abandonment of the
program for defeating the sugar short
age, Mr.. Palmer said he had put the
proposition up to Congress, as he lacked
both the power and the facilities" for
obtaining tangible results. After Off
Gals had outlined plans for continu-
ance OF the control under supervision of
the Department of Justice, he said, the
necessary funds and authority were not
forthcoming.
Mr.. Palmer's action was accepted
generally as opening up the sources of
more sugar supplies by permitting re-
liners to pay more for the Cuban raw
stock.
The department will continue to
hunt down profiteers, but without
means of checking up on the cost to
the refiner or without control Of the
