Underwood continued, must have the
authority and power to protect the rights
Of the whole country against occurrences
Of strikes and lockouts.'

craft board and director of the Mil
waukee railroad. did not participate in
any of the negotiations. General Disque
asserted.
He had suggested, he said. after he
found the Milwaukee was not in a po-
sition to finance the building of the
logging road, that it would be fair for
the government to do so, with the un-
derstanding that the Milwaukee would
take over the road at the end of ten
years at 10 per cent less than it costs
Disque Changed About on Rates.
Mr.. Ryan. he said. refused to dis
cnss the plans. saying he was a director
of the Milwaukee and negotiations were
carried out by an assistant secretary
Of war. 1t was left to General Disuua
to select the route. He selected the
present route then, because officials of
the Milwaukee railway and other engi-
neers stated 1t was more feasible than
the Deep creek route. the general said
The present route. he admitted, is about
IL miles longer than the Deep creek
route and does not pass any spruce for
about So miles, while the Deep creek
route would touch spruce most of the
way.
Mr.. Carey of the Stems Carey corpor-
alton was the first to suggest the pres
ent route, the general said
Later the president Of the Milwaukee
railway told him that there was verv
little difference between the two routes
and the present one finally was decided
on at conference in Seattle between
the general, officials Of the Milwaukee
aud engineers of the Union Pacific and
Canadian Pacific railroads.
Congressman Frear questioned Cen
eral Disque closely to get a definite
explanation of why he reversed him
self as to two routes Originally the
general was for the Deep creek route,
and he convinced the secretary of war
that 1t was the more economic and
practical, it was claimed.
