CBy Review Leased Wire)

CHICAGO, Jan. 20-Toderal Man. ager w. G. Byerd of the Chicago & Alton railway and Robert Ford of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway suggested today that the rail roads might find it necessary to ask the government for permission to i'm port 125,000 unskilled laborers from Mexico and South America to supply the demand for railway labor this summer. They doubted the ability of the government employment offices to meet the demand that would be made upon it.
 Railroad officials estimated that there would be shortage of about 100000 workmen needed flor rafl. roads.
 There is practically no labor i'm. and the young men return ing from army service will not take this class of work" said Robert Ford.

ASKS CONGRESS TO
 STOP EMANCIPATION
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-Testifying before the house immigration commit tee today. P J. McNamara, vice-presi- dent of the legislative committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men and Engineers, said immigration of cheap labor into this country from central Europe must be stopped be- fore peace is concluded or the United States will suffer financially for years.
 MT. McNamara said the four broth erhoods of railroad employees are strongly in favor of legislation pre- venting immigration until the nation reaches a normal condition. The Ge- mand for labor is more than satisfied now, he said, and there are still hun dreds of thousands of returning sol diers who must be placed at work.
 If the bars against immigration are let down, conditions will become even wOrSe," he said "Conditions in Europe are so bad that millions are waiting for the first opportunity to leave. Much as We see them suffer we dare not let them come because unemployment for our own people and bread lines will result"

STATES ENJoIN BURLEsoN
 TELEPHONE RATES
By Review Leased Vii

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 2O- An order restraining the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone company from putting into effect at midnight tonight the new schedule of rates as provided by Postmaster General Burleson's re cent rule, was issued tonight by the West Virginia public service commis- sion. The new schedule is suspended for 120 days under the order, but the length of time depends upon action of federal courts in determining the au- thority of the postmaster general.
 Officials of the Chicago Telephone company said tonight that as a result of the injunction suit filed in the Hi nois courts, the new schedule for toll and long distance telephone rates au- thorized by Postmaster General Burle- son will not be effective on local or intrastate calls until the courts have decided the case. The schedule which went into effect at midnight will ap- ply for the present to only interstate calls.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 2O.-Cardi- nal Gibbons in a statement issued to- night, makes a plea that wine may be obtained for sacramental purposes.
 We have 10000 catholic clergymen in the United States who every day offer the sacrament of the mass. How can they perform this duty if they cannot obtain wine?"
 "I know 1 will be replied to that wine is permitted for sacramental pur- poses. l cannot see how this will be if the manufacture, sale and importa- tion of wine is prohibited.
 T have always been in favor of strict regulation of the manufacture and sale of liquor instead of abso- lute prohibition because by a strict regulation the liberty of individuals Is preserved, whereas by prohibition we face legislation which in the long run cannot be carried out and an early result of prohibition will be the secret and illicit manufacture and sale of bad liquors. Whereby the gov ernment will be deprived of a large revenue and be put to enormous ex- pense attempting to arrest lawbreak- CTS and in carrying out the law. The law is also an invasion of the home which up to now all men have agreed IS a sacred and holy place These agents may enter our homes with the violence of burglars and the immun- tty of officers of the law"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O-New toll and long distance telephone. rates ap- proved by Postmaster General Burle- son, will become effective at midnight tonight, except in those states where temporary restraining orders against the companies have been issued by the courts. This announcement was made tonight by W. D. Lamar, solicit or of the postoffice department, and a member of the federal wire control committee. MT. Lamar had said dur ing the day that the rates would be- come effective despite efforts of state regulatory bodies to suspend or modi- fy them. So far as the postoffice de- partment had been advised tonight, he said, restraining orders have been is sued in only two states-Indiana and Mississippi. He said he had not been informed that courts in Illinois had taken similar action.
 The federal court at Pensacola, Fla, is the only court in the United States that has held full hearings and rend- cred decision on an application for an injunction, MT. Lamar said, and it's decision today denied the restraining order. He added that the court at Lin coin, Neb., also has held hearing, but has not yet rendered a decision
 Under the new rates as announced by MT. BurlesOn there will be a basic charge of 1-4 mills a mile air line mileage with half the day rate for night service up to midnight and one fourth of the day rate between that hour and 4:30 o'clock in the morning.
 The new charges were recommend ed in the first report of the commit tee on rate standardization and Mir. Burleson said their effect to equalize toll and long distance charges over the country. In many instances rates in certain localities will be increased and this fact led to efforts of some state regulatory bodies to prevent the new schedule from being put into effect Generally, however, there will be a re- duction in rates, according to the post master general.

CHICAGO PACKERS GOVERNMENT RATES BEFORE SENATE EFFECTIVE TODAY.
CRy Review Leased wirel

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-OfIicials of independent packing and stockyard firms appeared before both the senate agricultural and house interstate com merce committees today in opposition to legislation for government super vision of the meat packing industry. Francis J. Heney of San Francisco, who was chief counsel for the federal trade commission in it's investigation of the five big packing concerns, also was witness before the senate com mittee.
 Would Cause Harm
 William Magiviny, president of the St. Paul Union stackyards, told the house committee that government in- tervention would cause more harm than good and suggested that ill the light of its experience in fixing the price of wheat the government should go slow iii attempting to fix meat prices.
 Government Ownership Good
 D.. W. TaliaferrO, vice-president and general manager of the Detroit pack ing firm of Hammond, Standish & Co., testifying before the senate commit tee, said that while he was opposed to government ownership, he believed that would be,better than an attempt by the government to regulate packing houses and stockyards.
 Profits Have Increased
 Denying that profits of packing con cerns had increased under the hcens- ing system, MT. Taliaferro said his company's profits in 1918 were only about 22 per cent on the capital stock. whereas in 1917 it was around SS per cent.
 Unable to Supply Cars
 James s. Agar, president of the John Agar company. Chicago, testified before the house committee that he never has been diScriminated against by the large packers and that he ire quently was able to apply successfully to the larger packers for refrigerator cars. He urged that these cars be left in the hands of their present owners.
 Charges ThrottIing
 Mir. Heney, in his testimony charged that the "big five" packers have throttled the packing industry throughout the country to build an artificial monopoly at Chicago where prices are fixed for the entire coun- try"
 The witness also said that packers were interested. in securing represen- tation on the council of national de fense, because it was expected con- mittee would be formed for purchasing food supplies" Correspondence from the packers files, he added, shows there were many ways in which they expected to benefit from the activities of the council.
 Deny Interference
 Joseph Taggart, former representa- tive from Kansas, denied before the senate committee that while mem Der of congress he was favorable to the packers in legislative action, as was indicated by testimony offered recently by MT. Heney. He said he had supported the Borland resolution for investigation of the packing in- dustry.
 Armour to Appear
 J. Ogden Armour of Armour & Co.,, will appear before the house commit tee, and Louis F. Swift of Swift & Co, is expected before both committees later in the week

INTRODUCES DRUG IN LUNGS
French Physicians Method Of Admin

- Pronounced Success.

/ A new method Of administering
!chloroform, brought out in France by
cDr. Gulsez, Is described in the Scien-
ttific American. The doctor no longer
applies the drug by the usual CON.
lppffess or mask placed over the mouth,
but Introduces the chloroforin vapor
directly into the lungs through tube
running into the windpipe. The tube
method has already been employed
In several hundred cases, and with
great success. Besides being very
useful for operations to be performed
ON the head and neck, 1t is of great
interest because it never produces
nausea. &ss 4. ..,., w s..4 Il
81 The effects Of the new method will
Serve to explain the reasons why chic
roform operations always produced
nausea when operating by the former
method, for It appears evident that
the nausea was caused by a part Of
the chloroform vapors being absorbed
BY the oesophagus and the stomach. &
