WILSON'S WORDS
WILL BE ISSUE
hM0NG ITALIANS

Rome, Italy, Jan. 16.-Italy will be
the battle-ground of expansionists and
anti-expansionistS after the visit OF
President Wilson.
Its politicians await the message or
the president to the Italian people be-
fore opening the campaign.
The resignation of Leonida Bissolati
from the cabinet has drawn the line
sharply between the imperialists and
the anti imperialists. 1t has made
an official issue of what has hereto
fore been unofficial discussion.
Bissoliati has been opposed to the
program of Sonnino which clashed
with Jugo- Slav interests on the east
ern coast of the Adrriatic.
Premier Orlando has lately swung
toward the views of Sonnino, favoring
annexation of most of the Dalmatian
coast and control of Albania, leaving
to the Jugo- Slavs only access to the
sea at ports TO be designated. FUN.
would doubtless be the chief port, If
not the only one left to the new Jugo-
Slav republic.
When Bissolati found that the am
billions of his colleagues in the gov
eminent were extending beyond even
the regions involved by the London
pact, he determined to break with the
government and fight in the open for
a restriction on imperialistic ambi-
tions. Therefore he may be expected
to head a party which will favor a
friendly agreement with the Jugo-
Slavs and save his country future

ness which might lead to war with

assert that the casting of the die
should not be put off for five years as
urged by Director General McAdoo
and that congress will dispose of the
matter in due time after thorough
investigation. A few. very few, Of
the members of congress have gone
on record since President Wilson FIT
the matter up to them. in favor of
government ownership or private con-
troll. but the great majority are re-
serving their decision.
The hesitation of congress to dis
pose of the railroad question has been
by recognition Of the fact that after
direct operation and experience with
them for eighteen months the ST
dent and Director General McAdoo
have been unable to advise a solu-
ton.
With all the annual appropriation
appropriation bills and other import
ant legislation to be disposed of in
the next six weeks there is scarcely a
| possibility that congress will more
| than scratch the surface IN its In
vestigation of the subject and it GER
tainly will make no disposition of the
question.
! Congress Is not inclined to believe
that the railroads will be handed back
,, to their owners by the director general
until twenty-one months after peace
| is declared and therefore intends to go
i into the matter with the utmost care
and decide the matter of government
ownership or private control in a way
| that appears best for the country to-
day and twenty years from now. with
out giving personal prejudices any
weight in the matter.
The disposition of the railroad ques-
ton is certain to go over to the next
session and the responsibility to be
on the republicans who will be in con-
troll then.
The memorial service to be held by
congress on Sunday. February 8. in
honor of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,
! will be one of the most impressive and
important ceremonies of that charac-
ter that have ever been held in this
country.

in adopting the legislation providing

+, material delay is encountered, the
| democratic leaders declare.
| Already the house has begun to
meet at eleven o'clock daily, an hour
earlier than usual, and is sitting un-
| til 6 o'clock or later.
| The cleaning up of the legislative
calendar and prevention of an extra
session in March or April WIZ also
cheat the republicans OF opportunity
f! to hold any number OF Investigations
TO pry into the errors in democratic
prosecution of the war and the pass
i age OF legislation to embarrass the
democratic administration. The dem
ocrats fear that If an extra session is
=. held the republicans will be able to
manufacture considerable political
Ammunition for the national campaign
of 1920.
Both parties are fully alive to the
! importance OF the situation and are
playing their cards foE all they are
worth. The republicans are in an
awkward position. II they openly at
tempt to delay matters in thesnext
SIX weeks they will be charged by the
democrats with playing party politics
with the annual appropriation bills.
and If an extra session is prevented
they will lose a great opportunity to
make valuable campaign material.
The situation will most likely be-
come more acute as March draws
near.
Congress would like to know what
the people want to do with the rail-
roads. If a referendum. could be ar
ranged in some way to determine the
publics attitude congress would be
much gratified and would almost I'M
hesitatingly follow the public's de-
cision.
| After wrestling with the question of
railroad control for a month without
making any progress towards dtspos
| ing Of 1t congress is fully satisfied that
the problem is one of the biggest and
most troublesome that has ever been
presented to it
Senate and house members alike be1
come daily more impressed with the
fact that President Wilson turned Il
very smart trick when in his address
to congress the day before he sailed
for Europe he told congress to make
some disposition OF the railroads and
| admitted he had no suggestions to
offer. He left congress to deal with
| the situation and went off to Europe
without offering a suggestion for a
solution Of the question.
Before the president threw this mo-
tmentuous question into the lap of
congress many senators and congress-
men freely expressed their opinions as
| 20 what should be done with the rail-
roads But with the responsibility OF
dealing with them thrown upon their
shoulders even these men have be-
come silent.

committee to come here and plead
that they be utilized for war work?
There is a generally-held opinion in
several Pennsylvania towns that there
is very definite purpose to hamper
the government and obstruct it's meas
ures for prosecuting the war;"
"That's all bosh," Mr.. Wallis de-
clared. with heat. 1--WE constructed
more than 800 locomotives at Altoona
last year and that is the departments
limit"
He Lets Truth Out.
But these shops are operating but
fraction of the time, whereas it is
contended by good managers that
they should operate three shifts daily,
to reduce overhead burdens"
1--WE are now making the cheapest
and best locomotives in the world"
"What is the relative cost of loco
motives built in your own plants and
those built by private manufacture
ers?" he was asked.
For a type which has been adopted
for general service, we pay private
contractors approximately 100000
and build the same engine at Juniata
for approximately $38,000."
''What is the relative efficiency of
engines manufactured by you and
purchased from private concerns?"
RANKING Juniata engines at 100,
I should say that the engines which
we purchase should be rated at 80. Not
one of the engines manufactured in
our own shops has exploded, while
"a number of purchased engines have
given way, sometimes with rather
disastrous results
"Then, Mr.. Wallis. how can you
explain this discrimination against
your own engines, which you admit
are constructed for less money and
developed greater efficiency? What
logical reason can there be for not
utilizing to the full the plants which
you arc now operating less than one
third ~ the time?''
Mr.. Wallis hesitated a bit before he
made reply, and then it came with
significant distinctness:

BOSTON LAWYERS
SUPPORT: POLICE
Make Strong 6 Case In Defense Of
Patro|men's Efforts to Better
Their Conditions.

BOSTON, Oct. 9.-Local police Of
f1cials and Governor Coolidge are
scored in long statement on the
recent policemen's strike by attorneys
for the Policemen's union. Attention
is called to the increase of $500
year to policemen since the strike.
"The American Federation of La
Dor must be given credit for bring
ing bad conditions to light" the
statement declares In pointing out
that vile working and living condi-
tions, outrageous hours and low
pay were brought to public atten-
ton. 1.-The American Federation of
Labor was the last resort" says the
statement. which recounts the numer-
grievances.
1t is shown that before the, strike
wages ranged from s1,1O0 the first
year to $1,000 after the sixth year.
Night men worked 70 hours weekly
for this wage, with 10 hours weekly
duty weekly through early report at
the station house. There was no pay
for overtime and extra duty was re-
quired on election day, and for pa
rades, large gatherings and on holi-
days.
Bad living conditions are Indicated
in the use of one bed by two, three
and four men, each "a hours in sta
ton houses that are old, unsanitary
and in some cases vermin infested and
without bath Or toilet facilities.
Governor Coolidge is charged with
evading an attempt to settle the
strike, and now that he is showered
with praise after the strike has ended
the statement makes this sarcastic
reference to the state executives:
"He faced a bombardement of praise
and flattery as bravely as did some
of the police officers when they faced
the she'll and gas of Germans a few
months ago in the service of their
cOuntry."
