RAILWAY CHIEFS
TO APPEAR HERE
Will Make Direct Request
for Return to Private
Ownership.

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-A requeu that
railroads be returned to private
ownership grew out of a prolonged
meeting here today of about eighty
representatives of the Association of
Railway Executives. A committee
left tonight for Washington. Several
OF the committee plan to apLNar on
Wednesday before the Senate Inter-
state Commerce Committee, to present
the request and the full resolution in
which it is contained.
The committee is composed OF
Thomas Dewitt Cuyler. Alfred p.
Thorn, Julius Kruttschnitt. Howard
Elliott. Samuel 'Rea and Daniel VIII
lard. Mr.. Cuyler. who presided at
the meeting. said in part:
The Association of Railway Execu-
tives, representing 80 per cent of the
railroad mileage of the country. adopt
ed set of principles which 1t believes
ought to form the foundation of the
national legislation necessary for the
readjustment of the railroads to peace
conditions.
we have kept uppermost in mind
the fact now universally recognized
that transportation is essentially a
public service. and that the public in
terest must be paramount in any pro-
posed plan.
THE railroads will urge that legisla-
tion be enacted as soon as compatible
with public interest. They will argue
against such a prolongation Of uncer-
tainty as has been proposed by the
Director General of Railroads They
will favor Legislation under future pri-
vate ownership of large part OF the
measures taken by the government
Railroad Administration during the
war to coordinate and unity railroad
facilities"

al officer in order to solve the pro-
blem of unemployment. This fea-
ture Is very important one. as it
deals with the causes of discomfort.
There are over 5,500,000 illiterate
people in the United States. 1t was
an appalling fact to learn that 700,-
900 men Of draft age could not read

tion on our government than on
those citizens themselves. Oppor-
tunity must be given to all demo-
cratizing education.
I'VE must Americanize our for
eign-born and those of foreign
parentage. Education must instill
in the hearts of the citizens the
ideals and advantages of a true
democracy.
This will promote patriotism.
Great stress should be given to

,SKS CAMPAIGN
FOR SELF-HELP
Representative Baer Urges
Creation of U. S., De-
partment of Education.

Creation of a department of edu-
cation and human welfare, to be
presided over by a Cabinet officer,
Is proposed in a bill to be introduced
in the House today by Representa-
tive j. M. Baer. Independent, OF
North Dakota.
Equal opportunities for all Amer
leans, Mr.. Baer says. is the key
note of his bill. which provides for
a direct campaign of Americaniza-
tion and self-Aelp. Nearly all of
the recognized educational authori-
ties in the country have enthusias-
tically approved of the bill, he
stated last night, and a strong pub
lie sentiment is expected to be de-
veloped in favor of creating the new
department. Mr.. Baer continued:
The bill has for it's purpose the
coordination of all our national
educational activities under one
head, proposed secretary of edu-
cation and human welfare. Educa-
tional activities are now directed
through more than eighty different
offices, divisions, bureaus. commits
sions and other agencies of the gov
ernment.
Work Greatly OyerIaps.
"Of the more than $4,000, 900 now
appropriated by the Federal govern
ment for educational purposes. our
chief educational agency, the Bureau
of Education. expends less than one
per cent in the actual administration
of American education. The duties
of all these activities now attempting
to do educational work overlap great
ly. and there is unnecessary waste
and duplication. This bill provides
for the transfer of such agencies as
may be recommended by the new
secretary to the new department in
order that they may be economically
administered.
This bill calls for cooperation be-
tween the Federal government and
the States. There Is no intent in the
bill to have the proposed department
supersede the splendid work done by
the States under their own educa-
tional supervision. On the other
hand. this measure encourages educa-
tional initiative in every locality. 1t
attempts to solve the educational
problem from the bottom up, and not
from the top down. as attempted in
our present top-heavy system.

Senator Phelan, of California, also
intends to have something to say on
the Ashurst resolutions. He has not
indicated whether he will oppose or
support them.
The first business before the House
today will be a vote on a motion to
recommit the Alaska election case to
the Elections Comittee No. /. Just
before adjournment Saturday night
Representative Burnett, of Alabama,
moved to recommit.
Vote to be Test.
The vote on the Burnett motion will
serve as a test of the sentiment OF the
House toward the report of the COM
mittee, which voted unanimously to
unseat Delegate Sulzer and seat the
contestant, Wickersham. Alleged
fraudulent and Indian votes are the
chief points on which the contest has
been waged.
With the election case disposed of.
the Rules Committee will report a
special rule for the consideration of
the Dent bill. providing for the adjust
ment of verbal and informal war con-
tracts. The House is expected to adopt
the rule and Immediately consider the
bill. Sponsors of the bill are confident
it will pass.
The rivers and harbors bill is the
unfinished business on the calendar
and will have right-of-way il no
further special rule matters are
brought up. General debate on the
waterways measure has been COM
pleted and it will be taken up for
amendment. Representative Frear,
of Wisconsin, plans a determined
fight against the new projects con-
tanned in the measure.
Consider Presidents Request.
Before the rivers and harbors bill
is taken up. the House probably
will be asked to consider a bill by
Chairman Sherley of the Appropria-
tiOns Committee to carry out Presi-
dent Wilson's cabled request for an
appropriation of 100000. 900 to pro-
vide food supplies for the starvin.
peoples of the destitute regions of
Europe. The Appropriations Com
mittee will hold a special meeting
this morning to prepare a report on
the bill. and it will be ready for
submission to the House late this
Favorable action is expected.
The legislative. executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill will be COM
pleted and reported by the Appro-
priations Committee tomorrow and
the diplomatic and consular bill will
he finished before the end of the
week.

Before the week ends the Democrats
may be forced to put into operation
their plan to block a Republican at

This plan sets IL o'clock as the con-
