day, had beaten the record of the Amer
lean seaplane NC-4 In flying from New
foundland to the Asores, according to M
Breguet. the constructor of the airplane
In which Lieut. Roget made his flight.
NJ Breguet points out that the dis
lance from Paris to Rabat Is not 1900
kilometers G,se6 miles), as was stated,
hut 1900 kilometers G.116 miles). and
that Roget started from a point several
kilometers south Of Paris and landed be-
fore reaching Rabat.
The distance OF Reget's flight was
given In Sundays dispatches as ALTO

OVERMAN OPPOSES
LEAGUE AS AN ISSUE
Objects to Democratic Action
on the Covenant.

WAsHINdToN, May Ex-senator Over
man On c.. retiring chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, sharply disagrees
with the policy apparently promulgated
by leaders OF the Democratic National
Committee at their conference in Chi
cago of making the League OF Nations a
party Issue.
The conference adopted yesterday a
resolution congratulating the President
on his work in getting the peace treaty
and league covenant drafted and calling
on the Senate promptly to ratKy the
document. while ]. Bruce Kremer, vice.
chairman and member from Montana,
said the Democrats would welcome the
opportunity to make treaty and league
the issue in the next Presidential cam
paign.
81 don't approve the action at all OF
making this a party ISSUE said Sena-
tor Overman. ut has been the dream
of our people to make possible world
settlement that would prevent war and
I feel that everybody should support the
plan. But do not consider that II
should be made a party issue. Men
should support it because ii Is right not
because party favors it. I do not
think the action OF the organization will
| affect at all the action of the Senate"
Moses Not Surprised.
Senator Moses On. IL expressed
himself as in no wise astonished that
the Democratic organization should
make the treaty q party ISSUE observ-
ing that this was in line with Demo-
cratic traditions
"Of course" he said, ''they will make
1t n party issue. They made a party
Issue of the treaty for annexation of
Hawaii. of the treaty with Spain after
the Spanish-American war. most of the
opposition to which came from Demo-
Gratis: and of the treaty with Panama
which made II possible to construct the
Roosevelt canal. Most Democrats were
opposed to all three OF these treaties for
party reasons and now they are sup
porting the League of Nations likewise
for party reasons. The convictions of
the Democratic party are ready made

RAILWAY WORKERS SAY
THEY WILL STRIKE

Washington, Dec. 26.--Organi-
zed railway machinists, through their
president, served notice on congress
today that they would not submit. to
enactment of the Cummins railroad
bill with its drastic anti-strike pro
visions!
Voting more than a month ago SO
per cent of the 125,O00 members of
the union favored an immediate
walkout in event of the bills passage
by both houses of congress, but. the
result was not made known through
fear that the brotherhoods might ap-
pear in the light of attempting to
coerce the law making branch of
the government. The machinists, ac-
cording to William H. Johnston,
president of the international as
! sociation, are the only railway en-
ployees who have taken a strike vote,
but the heads of all the brotherhoods
IA in all, have been summoned to
meet here Monday to consider pend
ing railway legislation and define
precisely their position on the clause
in the Cummins bill which would
prevent strikes and put strikers in
Jail.
The call for the conference was
issued by Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of La
Dor, but Mr.. Gompers and other la
Dor leaders refused to discuss prob
able action by the brotherhood lead
ers. President Wilson'S Christmas
eve announcement that the roads
would be handed back to their own
ers March l was a distinct disap-
pointment to labor leaders, who had
been pleading for two year extern
sion of government control. They
agreed, however, that if the roads
were to go back it was a good thing
to let it be known.
There was no meeting today of
house and senate conferees who have
been assigned the task of framing a
new railroad bill out Of the Esch and
Cummins measures. This work, how
ever, viii begin next week, in the
hope Of final enactment of railroad
Legislation some time in the next two
months. The anti-strike section is
known to be the main point of diff
ference, and while it was left intact
in the bill passed by the senate,
house leaders frankly expressed
doubt today whether the house would
accept iitt.---------------

Philadelphia, Dec. 26.-Samuel
Rea, president of the Pennsylvania
railroad, in a statement tonight on
the return of the railroads to pri-
vate ownership, said it is essential
that higher rates be approx ID by the
interstate commerce commission to
save the country from broken down
railroads and insufficient facilities
and service. Mr.. Rea said the rail-
road bill pending in congress should
definitely provide the following es-
sential features:
81. That adequate rates be at all
times maintained to prevent the rail-
roads from getting into the position
from which they are now trying to
emerge. For this purpose the adop-
ton of rate making rule, or, if
that is not acceptable, the fixing of
some minimum return, is essential
for the positive guidance of the COM
mission which regulate rates.
"2. Fund the war Indebtedness to
the government which chiefly con-
sists of expenditures made by the
government for additions and better
ments essential to carrying the traf-
fic of the war period and protect
the life of the nation; and also re-
turn the roads with sufficient work
ing capital to resume operations.
The government found it essential
to have working capital, and the
railroads were called upon to provide
large part of that working cap
ital at the beginning of federal con-
itrol both in money and materials and
supplies.
"3. Continue the standard compen-
sation as prescribed by the federal
control act and contract until the
railroad situation ',een steadied
by adequate rates and stronger
credit.
"a. Provide sufficient capital to !
finish additions, betterments and
equipment already authorized by the
United States railroad administra-
tion to finance additional new work
and equipment that should be au-
thorized in 1920 and also to enable
the railroads to provide for Sc
curitics maturing in that year."
'Thc government" Mr.. Rea said,
if not asked to make a gift to the
railroads by such funding of past ex-
panditurcs or for such new caDital,
but it will receive from the railroads,

debts, and requiring their payment

Travel to California and
to the South is Light

The travel to Florida and other
southern points is nothing like what
il has been during former years and
railroad officials are Of the opinion
that is will continue to be light.
With the roads under govern
ment operation the rates are much
higher than formerly. For in
stance, the round trip rate this year
to Miami by way of Chicago IS
Sll2.84, and by way of st. Louis
$lO0.s7, as against $3.50 last year
for either routing. To Jackson
willie and return this year the rate
by way Of Chicago is $3.50, and by
was Of Kansas City $7o04. Last
year the rate was $3.50.
The California business has been
hit about as hard as that to the
south and, and presumably on &C
count of the rates. Last year the
rate to California common points
was 500 for the round trip aud this
year it has gone to $l0003.

PLEA OF SENATOR
Arizona Senator Says Mexican
Bandits Caused Damages
Amounting to Three
Hundred Million.
Especial to The Bee.)

Washington, Jan Ex-senator
Marcus "A. Smith, Arizona, has
ioined forces with Senator William
II. King, Utah, in demanding the
passage of a resolution calling upon
the State department for information
As TO what steps have been taken
toward securing settlement of the
claims of American citizens against
Mexico. II lis estimated that the
residents OF Arizona aud Utah, with
the Mormon farmers suffering the
heaviest, have sustained losses of
S30.000,000 in Mexico. The claims of
al citizens of the United States
against the Mexican government
amount to $500,000,000, said Sena-
tor Smith.
"As is known" said Senator
Smith, Americans lost property and
life in Mexico as the result of dis
orders and many American citizens,
especially farmers of Utah and of the
states bordering on Mexico, lost all
their savings invested in farms and
small ventures in Mexico. 1t has
been estimated that the farmers OF
Utah have claims against Mexico
reaching total Of $l0,000,0O0, and
citizens Of Arizona also lost heavily.
"These claims run as high as
S300,000,000 and I do not know what
the claim of British and French citi-
Gems amount to, although they must
not be less than half that amount.
The claims Of the citizens of other
countries, especially England and
France, naturally will be lodged with
this government for collection. I'M
der the Monroe doctrine these coun-
tries assent to the supremacy of the
United States in the western henri
sphere and Of course the claims for
damages offered by citizens of for
sign nations will be left to the United
States for adjustment with Mexico.

fish and French claims come to the

pute, with bearing upon the war,
such as these claims are, will be dis
sussed and definite plans made for

to lessen the probability of war.
Their principal concern is that the

it is called a league of nations or
something else, shall not be framed,
like the Hague conventions, in quail
flying phrases which would under
mine the whole structure.
Wilson Seeks Common Ground.
President Wilson and his commits
sioners are working on the theory
that Great Britain, France, Italy
and the rest of the world want some
new machinery which will prevent
war. Upon such a determination
they are fundamentally agreed. The
business of conversations which be-
gin today is to find common
ground upon which all can unite for
such purpose.
1t was reported some time ago
that the most that was hoped for be-
fore Mr.. Wilson's return to the
United States is general agreement
on broad principles. There is no
reason now to change that forecast.
