ESCH REPLIES 70
 NEW ENGLANDERS
Discusses Railroad Legislation
 Relative to Roads Return

Congressman Lonergan has received the following letter from John d.. 6ftsch, author of the Esch railroad Dill, giving his opinion on railway matters as referred to by New England gov ernors:
 My Dear MT. Lonorgan:
 Your letter of December 18th. in closing resolutions adopted by the six New England governors on railroad legislation, and asking for my views thereon, just received
 The railroad situation in New Eng land is different from that in almos every portion of the United States. This may be due in large measure to the fact that New England has no coal supply of her own and must, therefore, ship in all of her fuel. Moreover her hauls are on the aver age short hauls and as she has many terminals, terminal charges imposed on short hauls create a demand for increased rates. Already the railroad administration has come to the re- lief of the New Haven and the Bos- ton & Maine.
 Personally, I think 1t would be dis astrous not only to New England roads but to all the railroads of the United aheesSfs Ah siit piSoldeIll siGluIlieu tue roads January st without awaiting the passage of necessary leg ,slation. can not believe that he will do this lie can not justify such action be- fore the country because of the fact that one house has already passed s bill and the other house may pass bill prior to January lst. leaving one stage tthe conference stagc) before the enactment of the necessary legis- lation. l do not believe that the coun- try can complain of delay in the enactment of the legislation when it's importance and compleNity is con- sidered. It took the house four months from tho time hearings were begun until the passage of the bill on November 1Tth. The considcra- ton of the treaty in tho senate de- layed action on the Cummins bill but there is still some hope that the sen ate may pass it's bill before the hol- iday recess.
 The house bill provides for a con- tinuanco of the guaranty for q period of six months after federal control ceases. We believe that this is a sufficient period to enable the Inter- state Commerce Commission to pass

IMPORT FARM LAB0RERS
Brazilian Government Plans to In- crease Number of Immigrants Suit able for Agricultural Labor.

Rio De Janeiro, Dec. 19.---PlSns to increase greatly the number of imm- grants suitable for agricultural work in Brazil are under consideration by the federal authorities. Dl. Lopes, the minister of agriculture, has just given to President Pcssoa details of d plan which will serve as a basis for d message to congress. It proposes that congress appropriate the equiva- lent of $50O,00 to be used in defray- ing the expenses of 5000 agricultural 1aborers who will be embarked in Eu ropean ports for Brazil within the next few months. Three thousand of these laborers will come from Mcdi- terranean ports and 2,000 from north Europe. The mono y advanced to thee men is to be refunded to the government later.

A constitutional amendment pro-

Three other recommendations sub

ITO have the preseRt fiscal rela-

ton of Congress to provide for def
mite regular and liberal appropria-
ton for a greater capital by a larger

ITO obtain adequate appropriations

From Frostburg, the main section

word that the feeling among the men

most frightful thing civilized human
eyes ever looked upon, and it is not
so very far away Here in America
we must have mainly work and some

and hard work are the only things
that will save the world an enormous
amount of trouble.
BE assured you can't devote your
life to better cause than the pro-
lection of our form of government
from the red peril. Don't tolerate it.
Don't indulge at this time in a lot
of soft theories about the right Of
free expression. Remember, too, that
a defensive fight is a losing fight.

opinions. The greatest ptivilege. OF
