memphis street Railway company, in
the case in which the former company

federal receivership. He did this in an

the public utilities and corporations gof
Memphis are opposing the city manager
bill is not a fact, asserting that he rep
resented litigants in numerous cases
against the corporations, and that in
fact the gentlemen composing the COM

the wage scale aid down by the Wash

without the authoritarian of DR.. Garfield,

views oe director general of railroads, as
the railroad administration is the largest
single purchaser of coal in the country.
The department of justice was the third
governmental agency involved in the dis

among the operators that the government
had not fulfilled its duty in merely or
dering the withdrawal of the strike order,
but should prosecute vigorously miners
refusing to go back to work. Plans to pre-
