Federal Offices gradually. under this
legislation, by the States.

WANTS RAILROAD
SERVICE AT COST
Chief of Conductors Modi-
fies Original Brother.
hood Proposal
AGREES TO PRINCIPLES

Washington, Feb. 10.-Some direct
governmental agency, working not for
profit but to furnish transportation at
cost, was advocated today by the four
railroad brotherhoods as their solution
of the railroad problem before Congress.
A. 3. Garretson, president Of the
order OF Railway Conductors, speaking
for the four big employees organiza-
tions, before the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, said the heads of
the other three brotherhoods had been
won over to government ownership of
railroads by experience under govern
ment operation, and that all indorsed
in principle the proposal presented by
Glenn Il. Plumb last week, though they
had not considered its details
Mr.. Garretson said the financial and
operating sides of the railroad ques-
tion were virtually one and that the
task of Congress was to decide whether
the two functions could be performed
best by private or government owner
ship.
Warren S. Stone, head OF the engi-
reers; W. @. Lee, Of the trainmen, and
Timothy Shea, of the fremen, Mr.. Gar
retson said were private ownership ad-
vocates until the experience of govern
ment operation. He explained that they
still advocate private ownership in gen.
eraL but government ov.pership. as ap-
piled to the railroad industry. q ~.
He thought 1t was the germ Of what
government ownership might be IL per-
fected" that had caused their change
of mind o.
Much Of Mr.. Garretson's time on the
stand was occupied with a theoretical
discussion of rates and returns. He op-
posed any scheme for guaranteeing a re-
turn to the railroads under private
ownership, and said 1t was as legitimate
to guarantee every other line of busi-
ness as the railroads. He asserts that
it the government became liable for a
deficit in the railroads income the gov
ernment also must be participant in
their profits.

Economic Council
Big Stride FOrlUdrd

Continued from Page One
and the Allies in regard to Germany
is the question of shipping enough
raw material to Germany to get her
industries, in some degree, started
before peace is signed.
European opposition to all this is
Of two sorts. One motive is the de.
sire to keep Germany weak, another
is the desire to keep German wealth
where the Allies can seize it fol
reparation.
Germany as Plague Spot
The American position is that the
world cannot afford to have a great
pauperized nation in central Europe
as breeding spot for social disturb
ance, and Germany cannot pay un
less permitted to produce.
But the credit question, as already
indicated in these dispatches, is big
ger than the question of the rels.
tions with Germany. It underlies
the whole problem Of making peace
and the whole question whether o,
not the present social organization
of the world will be able to maintain
itself or will yield to drastic changes
Without single economic COM
mand you would have the economic
forces of Europe working at cross
purposes, with less harmony than
existed between the military forces
of the Allies before the naming Of
Foch as supreme commander.
Restoring Prosperity"
Countries are barring out each
others products and striving to kill
Off the industries Of Germany as If,
somehow, prosperity could be re-
stores, provided only enough damage
could be done to rivals.
Instead Of commercial industrial
cooperation among peoples who are
setting up peace in the world there
is nothing but fear and friction.
The question what part America will
play in furnishing credit for the fu-
.ture doubtless is the biggest one
before the new council.
The council naturally cannot have
authority to compel America to fur
nish credit, or England or France
to let down present economic bar
riers, but its decision on questions
like this will have great weight be-
cause it's solution Of all problems
will be inter-related.
Europe is likely to get out of
America some things it wants and
America, in return, to get certain
things it wants in respect to the
restoration of relations with Ger
many.
Pressure for credit from the
United States is not confined to
France. England, much more po-
tent automatically and CONNER
cially than France, is pressing equal
" hard for credit from America.
The demand takes two forms--can-
collation. of part of the war loan
and advance of new loans now for
industrial reconstruction.
European government financiers
are not impressed with the position
of the American Treasury Depart
ment that additional borrowing in
America is not practicable.
On the question Of the cancellation
of the war debt England is not
likely to take the advanced position
Of offering also to cancel some of hei
loans to France and the lesser Allies
Her argument is that the weaker
nations must get securely on theil
feet lest they pull down stronger
nations with them into financial ant
social difficulties.

by local officers to Camp Devens to be
turned over to army authorities. 1t was
announced he would be charged with

kaplan's arrest came soon after one
OF the most serious disturbances that

EMPIRE

All the world loves happiness and courage, just as all the world loves a lover, which may be the reason why The Secret Garden" by | rances Hodgson Burnett, ranks as one of the most popular English novels of mod ern times.
 Certainly the pic lure version of this famous story, starring Lila Lee in her third Paramount picture, which w'll be shown at the Empire theatre, today and tomorrow, will be certain to find thousands of people who loved the story, all ready, eager and waiting to see the picturization. This fact, combined with the extra ordinarily fine acting of the little star, and her great popularity, will make a direct appeal to exhibitors and public gene" "1lly throughout the country. In addition q large cast carefully chosen, helps to put the story over.
 Lila Lee plays Mary Lenox the heroine of the story. It is a subtle and difficult part, with many fine touches of comedy and the pro- ducers announce confidently that marks Miss Lila's finest histrionit effort. G.

POLES

Seldom has enthusiasm to equal that aroused by the big double bill at Polls been witnessed in a local thea Ire. The picture program headlined by Dorothy Dalton in "Quicksand" is one of the best ever seen here. while the vaudeville appears to be all big time calibre.
 It was noticeable at the second TOW last evening that the dozens of tense situations in the feature drew a big hand from deeply interested house, while every number of the vaudeville evoked appl"-;se which bore testimony to the excellence of the performance.
 Frank Conroy, who is assisted by Harry Murphy, kept the house in a continuous roar = laughter with his presentation of "The New Physi- cian." l. will be remembered that when he was a member of the com bination known as Conroy and Le Maire, he crea ed more laughs on Broadway than any other comedian of modern times. Conroy and Le Maire were for couple of seasons the principals in the Winter Garden show and never failed to make a hit when they finally went into vaude- vile.
 Cora Simpson and Company is another big funmaking combination and he is rewarded with unlimited applause for his original nut num- Der. Evans and Chase form another winning team and present the snap piest and most original song and dance numbers backed by special scenery and beautiful gowns that the local playgoers have seen for a long while. The Dancing De Browns are also very clever and original and form one of the best attractions ever put on here.
 The Pathe News shows views bo tt in the United States and Europe and the pictures showing the advance ot the Allied armies into Germany were applauded to the echo.
 An announcement to the effect that Clifton Crawford himself, would ap- pear here was greeted with big ap- plause by the audience

HOLD-UP OF DRY
 VOTE AT ALBANY

Albany, Jan. 17.-New York vii be late in recording its stand on pro- hibition. The fact that 3S states have already ratified the federal amend ment has not the slightest effect in bringing the situation here to a head.
 It is certain that no decision will be reached this week, with the Sen ate adjourning and Friday most like ly legislative day. However, Speak CT Sweet, of the Assembly, who has declared for immediate ratification has arranged a meeting of the ''drys" and "wets" for next Tuesday, al which, according to legislative cus- tom, the opponents of ratification will be heard first. The prediction, though, is for greater delay.
 There was rumor on Capitol Hill last night that a conference of As sembly members, presided over by Speaker Sweet, had taken place with view of lining up the assemblymen on the prohibition question. The re- suit however, was not learned.
 There are ninety-four Republican members of the Assembly, two So- cialists and fifty-eight Democrats. The Democrats are bound by the Democratic platform to submit the question to a referendum and the Republicans claim to have more than sixty committed to ratification. For l the measure to pass, however. sev- enty-six votes are needed and the 1 Sweet forces are striving hard to ob- | tain the necessary votes.
 i In the Senate. with twenty mine Republican members and twentytwo l Democrats, the fight is harder | though only twenty-siX votes are re- 1 quired for majority. In one respect i the situation is the same. The twen- | ty-two Democrats. led by Senator l Foley, are supporting Gov. Smith in 1 his program to have the people de-
 eide the question, while the Repub-
 hcan ratification element is led by
 Senator Thompson, of Niagara. and
 the "wets'' by Senator J. Henry Wal
 ters. It is said also that five sena-
 torial Republicans will decline to go
 into a caucus.
