Later.

Washington, Dec. 3-President Will

special message to congress on the
railroad situation until Director Cen
eral Hines has conferred with Senator
Cummins and Representative Esch
chairman of the senate and house in
terstate commerce committees on the
pending railroad bills, it was said to-
day at the White House.
1t was intimated that the status OF
the legislation might be such that the
president would not regard it as nee
essary to address congress on the sub
ject. Leaders in congress are deter
mined to press the bills, but they have
expressed doubt that their enactment
could be completed before the Christ
mas holidays.
Each of the measures provides fol
the return Of the roads to private oper-
alton within a specified time, but they
are different in other respects. particu-
larly as to the method OF dealing with
strikes and lockouts and these diff
ferences will have to be composed ir
conference.
In view of the presidents statement
to congress yesterday that he expected
to treat the railroad question in q sep
arate message, there has been specu-
lation in official and railroadtortior.
as to whether he intended to adhere tt
his previously announced plan to re-
turn the roads to private operation
by January 1.

keep the strike in effect, thus violating
the injunction.
Dan w. Simms, special Federal Dis
trict Attorney, in charge of enforce
ment of the injunction said the cases
will be pushed and that today's action
was only start. He said certain dis
trict officers have been paying out
strike benefits and in such cases even
the banks that honored the checks for
this purpose are liable to prosecution
for contempt of court.
Acting President Lewis and other
Miners officials, who We're here, We're
notified and agreed to report in court
tomorrow to furnish bond fixed at
Ten Thousand dollars. Officials away
from here will be served as soon as
possible.

of evidence against alleged vioIators
of the injunction against the strike is
sued by United States District Judge
Anderson has been collected by agents
of the Department of Justice and that
proceedings would be instituted i'm

of the injunction.

Because Parker Dropped Baton
i'm Relay Race

The University of Idaho is the
Northwest conference track and field
| champion for the 1919 season.
The protest made by the Univer-
sity of Idaho following the running
of the relay race at the annual meet
at Pullman on Saturday, has been
upheld by the advisory committee of
the Intercollegiate Association of
Amateur Athletics of America and
instead of w. S. c. winning the meet
with A points to AZ for Idaho, the
Moscow team is given the victory
with 43 points to Al for W. S. G.
The protest filed by Idaho was
based on the fact that Parker, the
final relay runner for w. S. c., did
not finish with the baton. w. S. c.
finished in second position in the re-
lay race and won three points. Ida
no finished fourth and won no points.

protest to the officials
The |. A. A. A. A. rules under
which the meet was held do not
cover the point of the relay runners
finishing the relay race with the ba-

passing the baton at the end of each

At a meeting of the coaches of Ida

that the following official ruling was
made: Advisory committee of |. A.

that rule 80, section 2. does not spe-
officially state that baton must be car
ried throughout the race. A team
that drops the baton or finishes
