used last year. There are various
other important respects in which
traffic was controlled in the interest
of the war last year SO as to get the
maximum, results out Of rail transport
tation and with the return Of peace
ence Of public sentiment upon release
from wartime, restrictions these ad-
vantages have been lost. The fact
that there Ia still q shortage in rail
transportation IL due to conditions
that the amount Of business offering
is far in excess Of the transportation
facilities of the country. This has al
ways been true in this country in
times Of heavy business in the autumn
months except last year when the
matter could be and was controlled
with an iron hand with a view solely
to war necessity, At the same time
railroad facilities have not expanded
to the, extent required in the public
interest; even prior to the war, rail-
road facilities were not equal to the
demands.' During the war the addt-
stricted by scarcity of material and
labor; since the war it has been i'm
possible to enter upon or carry out
any extensive program tor the en-
largement of capacity. Because Of the
uncertainty as to the values of the
railroads., the railroad adninistra-
tion'was not provided with the money
and therefore could not originate or
carry out any such program: the rail-
tainty were unwilling to provide
money. The result is the railroad
facilities of the country are decidedly
below what the traffic demands,
nevertheless the maximum tra:t.c Ia
being handled and this is being done
with less shortage Of transportation
than manifested itself at time OF the
pre-war period.
Particular attention is being paid
by the railroad administration to the
furnishing Of necessary equipment for
grain. It was decided early in Sep
TENDER that in order to meet the coal
requirements of the country it would
be necessary for the. railroads to
move q minimum Of eleven million
tons of bituminous coal a week. For
the week ending September thirteenth
11,046.0D0 tons were transported, for
the week ending September twentieth
11.248.000 tons were transported. and
twenty-seventh the railroad admins
tration estimates that approximately
11,575,000 tons were transported.
l. Conditions have developed which
have made 1t necessary to handle the
wheat situation in an emergency way.
This situation has been complicated
by the fact that many Of the elevators
are full andait has been impracticable
to move additional wheat to points
where the elevators are full because

Hines Makes Report
On Railroad Work

-NF . F . 'I
Walker D. Hines, director general
of railroads.! authorized the following
statement:
"The railroads of the country are
now doing a heavier business for the
present eason Of the year than was
ever done in the history of the rail-
roads in normal years, and practically
as heavy business as was done at this
season in 1918 which exceeded all
previous records. They have more
cars in actual service after excluding
cars held out of service for repairs
than in 1917 or 1918. While the bad
order al situation was greatly en-
barrassed by the extensive strikes
centage OF bad. order cars is now
rapidly improving. There was an in
crease Of 52,456 cars in serviceable
condition between August 16 and Oc-
tober 4; 1910 Of this increase were
added in the one week ending Oc-
tober 4. While the freight business
is practically as heavy as At this time
last year, the railroad administration
in performing that business is un-
avoidably deprived of many exceed
ingly important aids which it was able
the zoning of coal which last year
compelled consumers to take their
coal from nearby mines and thereby
greatly increase the efficiency of coal
transportation. This advantage has
necessarily been lost because coal
coming was terminated last winter;
another is that last year there was
much heavier loading Of many i'm
portant commodities than it has been
possible to secure this year, and the
result is that under existing condi-
lions more cars have to be used for
the same amount of traffic than were

NEWBERRY 4
HALE FELLOW

Washington, d. c., Dec. 6.--Dis-
-arard of senatorial ethics and pre-
cedents apparently mean no more
e. Truman II. Newberry, junior SEN
ator from Michigan, than a fund OF
s176,O00 for his primary contest
did to his brother and his other more
mysterious hackers.
The opening day Of the regular
session of the 66th Congress DEM
onstrated that outwardly, at least,
Senator Newberry regarded his in
dictment by federal grand jury on
the charges of corruption, fraud and
conspiracy as something Of q Joke.
Some of his Republican colleagues
apparently hold the same view as
they thronged around the man who
was, SO he says, ignorant as well as
Obvious Of the admitted fact that
fortune was spent to secure his
nomination and election.
Il has lond been one of the rita
ditional presidents Of the United
States Senate that any member in
dicted on the charge of committing
felonious offense should absent
absent himself from the chamber UNI
til. the latter had been settled. In
recent times this was followed by
j. Ralph Burton, Senator from an
sas, and John H. MITCHELL. Senator
from Oregon, both Of whom were
so indicted. The latter did appear
on the Senate floor to deliver brief
sort of "swan song" in which de-
| NAL figured. Burton appeared once
| in the Republican cloakroom in or
der to be able to claim mileage, two
pages .obligingly holding open the
doors son the secretary of the Sen
ate and clerks could see that he had
made the one visit-to the Senate that
session necessary. to the collecting
of the financial perquisites.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, OF
Massachusetts is enc of the veterans
| Of the Senate in point of continuous
service, and supposed expert in all
of its usages and practices, as he
constantly asserts that notice. More
over, he i the titular leader of the
Republican majority. 1t was thanght
highly probably that Senator Lodge
would point out to Senator Newber-
ry the improperly of appearing or
the Senate floor because of his in
dictment at Grand Rapids. Appar-
emily he did not. Instead he greet
ed the Michigan man with apparent

warmly and E@la' 3Aft3''t ke
when his was seen a number Of Re
publican Senators who had affected
not to see Mr.. Newberry, Immediate
lx changed their tactics and cluster
ed around his desk 50 that he held
quite levee.
All this was prior to the calling Of
the Senate to order by the Vice.
President. In addition to Senator
Lodge there was noted among the
greeters of Senator Newberry, Sen
ators kellogg, of Minnesota, Spencer,
of Missouri, Watson, of Indiana,
Colt Of Rhode Island, and Curtis of
Kansas. AS the crowd began to
leave the levee Senator Newberry
discovered few Senators at near
by desks who had not joined the re-
ception. In spirit of comradeship
he went to them, forcing a hand
shake, and then slipped back to his
seat while the crowded galleries
watched his every move. Democrat
ic congratulations were noticeable by
their absence.
Senator Newberry answered the
roll call and participated in the only
vote of the opening day.
The precedent that no Senator in
licted for committing felony is
said to have existed for many de-
cades, and to have been. on the sup
position, as one Democratic Sena-
tor expressit: that "any member with
gentlemanly instincts who was charg
ed with personally contributing to a
fraud in which he benefited, would
willingly absent himself from the
chamber while the matter was pend
ing"
1t is unlikely that any Democratic
Senator will call the body's atten-
ton to the violation of traditional
precedent, the affair, so far, being a
case of Republican dirty linen. La
ter, should Senator Newberry claim
his constitutional right as a Senator
and refuse to stand a court trial, and
also refuse to demand an iuvestiga-
ton by his colleagues, it is like that
not only Democrats but number of
! Republicans, will have much to say.
Meanwhile the Republican learers
are sitting tight and swallowing
hard. Newberry gone would reduce
their majority to one and place them
in danger of often losing some party
battles. Hence there is not likely to
be any scrupulousness among the Re-
publican leaders in the Senate as to
Mr.. Newberry's presence as long as
he is callous enough to stand it.
