Authority Ample Says Cummin

Authority Ample Says Cummins.
BY directions of the senate Inter
state Commerce committee. Chairman
Cummins wrote President Wilson that
the committee believes he already has
complete and plenary authority to deal
with" the new demands Of railroad
workers for increased wages, and that
no additional legislation is necessary to
meet the present situation. The dlrec-
tor general wrote the chairman, can
fix the wages of all men employed in
that it is for him to say whether the
compensation of these men should, or
should not, be increased
He has all the available Information
which can possibly be secured and it is
the view Of the committee that he should
act with a view of putting into effect
his own decisions.
THE director general has also the
absolute right to initiate rates for
transportation and increase or lower
them, to meet railroad requirements on
the transportation systems in his charge,
and moreover. he can put the new rates
into effect whenever. III his judgment,
they should become effective.
If the committee felt that there was
any lack Of power on your part or on
the part of the director general. it
would be quick to act. but, inasmuch
ity It has reached the conclusion that
no additional legislation is required to
meet the present emergency which you
have pointed out.
The Presidents Letter.
The presidents letter follows:
My Dear Mr.. Director General: |
mn just in receipt of the letter from
Senator Albert H. Cummins. chairman
of the senate committee on interstate
commerce which set me free to deal as
think with the difficult question Of the
wages of certain classes of railway en-
ployes and | take advantage of the oc-
casion TO write YOU this letter, in order
that 1 may. both in the public interest
and in the interest of the railroad en-
ployes themselves, make the present sit
uation as clear and definite as possible.
Il thot it my duty to lay the question
in its present pressing form before the
of the senate. because | thot
it not wise to act upon this matter with
in the brief interval of government con-
troll remaining. without their acquiesc
ence and approval Senator Cummin's
letter, speaks the unanimous Judgment
Of the committee. leaves me free and, In
deed. imposes upon me the duty TO act.
Will Consider on Merits.
You are therefore. authorized to say
TO the railroad shop employees that the
question Of wages they have raised will
be taken UP and considered on its merits
by the director general in conference
with their daly accredited representa-
tiyes. / hope that you will make it
clear to the men concerned that the
railroad administration cannot deal with
problems Of this sort, or with any pro-
a!ems affecting the men. except thru the
duly chosen international officers of the
regularly constituted organization and
their authorized committees.
Matters of 50 various a nature and
so many men cannot be dealt /
with except in this way. Any action

18th judicial district now that Judge
Hardin won't go to congress and never
did resign from the judgeship? We

Boyle counties inthe envent heis acan-
didate for Judge of the district again.

pinch.

If we are not to have government regulation the government
should keep its hands off the question. We cannot regulate half
the people and half the manufacturing industries Of the country
and leave the other hall unreguaed and solve the question.
There are some who believe as a temporary measure the
government should assume control Of every article Of food and
merchandise; regulate the purchase price of the material that
goes into the product; regulate the cost price Of the manufac-
ture; regulate the sale price to the wholesaler and jobber; regu-
late the sale price to the retailer, and regulate the profit and the
sale price of the retailer.
There are others who believe that the government should
say: The government is merely the people; it is made up of
individuals OF different professions, different occupations and
different businesses. 1t is the duty Of the government to see
that there are no illegal combinations for the purpose of price

finished, and competition eventually will establish a basis of

There is a rare opportunity for craftsmanship in this

from his licensing system for the packefs but the opposition
he has met from his Republican colleagues has about dissipated
that hope. The only prospect he has is to make his program so
plain and simple and put it before the people so forcibly that,

Two or three able senators could array the whole country

THE COMEBACK

The recuperatlye power OF the German is amazing. There
are some who thought he was crushed to earth never to rise
again. Mr.. Barney Baruch, one of the presidents advisers and
Mr.. Tumultys great friend, says it is a matter of impossi-
bility for the German people to sustain the burden that has been
placed upon them. And while we are discoursing upon the
ability or inability Of the Germans to bear the yoke that was
placed upon them by their victorious enemies there comes a
revelation.
The Germans syndicate representing them, while we are
pulling hair over the league Of nations and debating whether
the Germans are qualified for admission-have invaded this
country and purchased practically the visible supply Of leather
and hides. 1t is said that they have bought not less than
$300O00Om worth Of hides and leather.
That somebody has been lax in permitting this, which will
rebound to the discomfort of the American people, must be evil
dent from the prevailing price of shoes, to say nothing of the
price that is now impending, Nor is this all. The Germans
have practically obtained a monopoly on the cattle, hides and
leather in Argentina.
Not only will this country be deprived of the much needed
product of its own plants, because the material is to be exported
10 the Germans, but it will be practically impossible to import
sufficient materials to meet our requirements, because the Ger
mans have operated on the same scale and with the same idea in
other countries.
The expectation that the Germans would "come back" seems
to be on the way to realization, even before we are prepared for
the return.
