Government Should Lend Them
Money at Low Rate.

Washington, July 1S.-Chairman
Clark of the interstate commerce
committee, considering the Esch bill
for regulation of carrsers after the
period of federal control, said the
railroad administration's deficit, now
exceeding $400.00O,O 900, might as we'll
be classed as a war loss
When the roads are returned, Mr..
Clark said, the government should as
sist by lending them money at a rate
not obtainable from banks.
1t was obvious, Mr.. Clark said, that
the roads must be able to increase op
Grating incomes by INCREASING rates
as reduction of wages was out OF
the question.
Without some declaration as to the
rate situation, he contended that with
the termination of federal control In
trastate rates would automatically be
come what they were as fixed by state
commissions.
Mr.. Clark said he did not see how
the country could be divided into re

New York, July 19.-The strike Of
seamen, firemen and oilers which has
resulted in holding several hundred
ships at their piers here and caused
steamship and railroad terminals to
become piled high with freight, has
entered its second week. Thousands
of marine workers have been thrown
out of employment and unless a quick
settlement is brought about, still 9TH
er trades connected with shipping
will be affected. A few private own
ers are reported to have yielded to the
strikers demands but their submis-
sion is. considered almost immaterial
In view of the fact that at this port
about 400 vessels remain idle and at
Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans
and other Atlantic and gulf ports the
number of ships tied up is estimated
at more than 100.

could not make himself heard.

the prohibition faction had fought off
every attack ON their bill. An amend

for those convicted of violating the
wartime act was defeated 68 to 81.
This was offered by Representative
Reavis, Republican, Nebraska. a pro-
hibition member of the judiciary COM

| judiciary committee, patron of the
bill, presented an amendment which
was adopted without debate, and which
made the measure more drastic in that

on vote to amend the bill SO that Q
person charged with violating liquor
selling injunction might demand anC

This motion, offered by Representa-

The victory was not expected, ever
by the vets, and they realized they
