Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-For five
hours to-day William G.. McAdoo. Dj-
rector General of Railroads, defended
before the Senate Interstate Commerce
committee his proposal that Federal
control or the railroads be extended TO
period of five years. For two hours
OF this time he was grilled by Senator's
opposing the proposition. The rest of
the time was consumed by him in the
reading of prepared statement of
more than $4,000 words. He will re-
sumo the stand tomorrow morning.
and will be followed probably bv
Walker D. Hines, Assistant Director
General.
Senators attacking Mr.. McAdoos
proposition manifested resentment over
the fact that it had been put up to Con
gress in the form of an alternative.
whereby, unless Congress granted the
asked-for extension, the Administra-
tlon was inclined to avail itself of it's
authority to turn back the roads at
once to their owners without waiting
for the maximum period of twcnty-onc
months originally fixed
Both Senators Cummins, of Iowa.
and Kellogg, of Minnesota contcndcd
that the twenty one months period was
originally considered as reasonable
time following the conclusion of peace.
within which Congress might enact
necessary legislation for peace time
regulation of the roads.
State Laws Arc Cited
Calling attention to the fact that
nlne states of the Union had at the
outset of the war laws on their statute
books fixing two cents a mile as the
rate on intrastate passenger traffic
and that certain of these states had
laws fixing commodity freight rates
both Senators contended that the i'm
mediate effect of the government turn
ing back the roads now without safe
guarding legislation would be bank
ruptcy for many of the properties. The
sd'c laws Oh OhcSc lnUfaStatc rates,
1t was contendcd, would take precc-
dencc over the higher rates fixed bv
the government during the period of
the war emergency.
Mr.. McAdoo was reminded in this
connection of his own statement that
the operating revenue of the roads last
year, even with the higher rates hc
had granted, was Sl36,000, 900 less than
the minimum guaranteed rental the
government was required TO pay for
their use.
Mr. McAdoo, OIL the other hand, con-
tended that were Congress to agree to

LONDON, Jan. al am informed
that the world labor congress will GER
talnly be held at Lausanne, Switzer-
land, and will open about January IS.
The last shred of uncertainty has
been swept away to-day by receipt
here of word from Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Federation
OF Labor, that the American delega-
ton will sail January 8. According
to Charles Bowerman, the Americans
Will participate only in trade union
meetings and viii have no part in the
political phase of The congress.
Gathered at Lausanne at the same
time Will be representatives. Of the
Socialist and trade union movements
from practically all civilized nations.
While on your side of the water the
congress is entirely known as tho In
tcrnatlonal Socialist and Labor Con
gress, there will be separate sittings
of the labor and Socialist delegations.
Thus. actually, there viii be two con-
crosses. In addition to this there will
be meeting Of the pre-war Interna-
tlonal Socialist Bureau.

But in this diversity of gatherings
it will BE- the trade union congress
that will focus upon itself most of the
attention. because in this congress the
concentrated industrial power Of the
worlds working people will be repre-

the congress will prove to be peo-

may arise among the official peace

The shops are already showing
their displays of blouses for summer
days. There are smart crisp looking
ergandies and dimites with neat little
cuffs and collars for town wear. Then
there are many pretty voiles and
chiffons and the popular gorgette
plain figured and striped. These are
smart for dress wear either in town
or country, The favored blouse. Of the
season is the Russian blouse IN slip
rel style.
1t comes in almost every fabric
imaginable. but the better ones are
made of georgette or chiffon. When
worn with the white satin sports
skirts or the colored novelty silk
skirts, which are the whim Of the
season, such blouses make very dainty
costumes which look like frocks
instead of separate skirts and waists.
The blouse pictured is made on the
Russian style and it is ideal for the
summer beaches or the stay in the
country. White georeette crepe with
victory red coin dots Is a striking COM
hination for wear with a white skirt.
A wide border at the bottom of the
blouse and edging the short sleeves
is made of red georgette to match.
Red piping finishes the square neck
and a double row of buttons in the
front is the only other trimming. The
prices of the Russian blouses rarely
go below SIS, and SIS is-the usual
cost.
