Hun Commissions Confer.

VERSAILLES May 19-Count Won
Rrockdorff- Rantzau, head of the Ger
man peace delegation. called the
presidents of the different commits
sions together this afternoon to lay
before them the instructions he had
received at Spa. He also gave in
structions for the drafting OF Q but-
ietfn which will be submitted to Ber-
lin for approval.
The German councillor of legation
who expressed the view on his return
from Berlin that the German delega-
tton would meet with bodily harm IL
they did not sign the treaty said he
based his declaration on the peace
hunger of the German people.

been entirely withdrawn from in
dustrial or agricultural activity.
The reply also makes an emphatic
reioinder to the German complaint
that the loss OF the German merchant
marine will throw out of work thou
sands of German merchant seamen.
The allies answer Is that the destruc-
tion of merchant ships. chiefly by
German submarines has had the I'M
fortunate effect of limiting the OPP
nortunities for work of seameu
throughout the world, the allied
powers being the greatest sufferers.
1t adds that there clearly is no reason
why Germany should be exempted
from it's share of the economic dis
advantage growing out of this de-
struction of merchant ships.
The reply on the economic objections
is regarded as one of the best docu-
ments in the exchange of notes.
Many persons attribute it to Presi-
dent Wilson.

Joint UNION FOR RAIL
EMPLOYEES PROPOSED
First Steps Toward Merger Taken
Today at Meeting Here OF
Station Agents Order.

Stems to unite all labor organizations
connected with rail transportation into
one body. to be known as the United
States Railroad Federation, or some SIM
liar title. were taken today by the Order
of Railroad Station Agents. holding
their annual convention at tho CONT
mental Hotel.
Full Power Delegated.
A resolution was adopted giving E. H.
Morton of Boston, president OF the or
der, full power to Golfer with other
union organizations which might be ar
fected, and to arrange il possible for :
meeting of representatives to the vari-
GUS orders.
such a federation as proposed prob
ably would include. besides the big
four" unions. including engineers.
fremen, conductors and trainmen. such
organizations as the Ticket Mems As
ISOLATION, the Pullman Sleeping Car
Conductors Association. the Railway
Tower and Signal Mems Association
and the Railway Clerks Union. Rep
resentatives of some of these organi-
cations are meeting with the sta
ton agents today.

Nature of Commodity Governs.

This language is accentuated by
the distinction drawn in that case be-
tween Uncle Sam Oil Company and
the Standard Oil Company. The ma
ture of the commodity, the method of
acquisition and the intended use and
not the method OF transportation
constitutes the determining factor.
Il conclude upon the authority of
these cases that the transaction here
as whole constitutes Interstate COM
merc6, and transportation therein is a
violation of the act. The motion to
dismiss and the demurrer to the evil
dence will be overruled"

establishments to he investigated by
Congress. This investigation is order
ed in a resolution introduced today
by Representative Greene of Massa-
chusetts, who is chairman of the
House committee on the merchant ma
rine and Fisheries.
Representative Greene said that he
will urge quick action on this meas
ure and that he had been promised
strong support from the majority in
Congress. Reports have come to him
of extravaganza in expenditures which
run into hundreds OF millions OF dol
lars. He also has been told that there
is considerable friction among the

Draws q Distinction
TN the pipe line cases the court in
drawing a distinction between the
situation Of the Uncle Sam Oil Com
pany and the Standard Oil Company,
speaking Of the former company,
said:
This company has a refinery in
Kansas and oil wells in Oklahoma.
with pipe line connecting the two
which 1t has used for the sole pur-
pose of conducting oil from its own
wells to it's own refinery. 1t would
be perversion of language. consid-
ering the sense in which 1t is used In
the statute, to say that man was
engaged in the transportation of wa
ter whenever he pumped a pail of
water from his well to his own house.
SO as to oil. When, as in this case.
a company IL simply drawing oil from
its own wells across a state line to its
own refinery for its own use. and that
Is all, we do not regard 1T as falling
within the description of the act. the
transportation being merely an in
cident to use at the end
For Purpose Of Sale.
Tested by these principles. how
stands the present case. The Quantity Of
liquor and the kinds of containers leave
no reasonable doubt that it was brought
in for purpose of sale. and l find that
as fact it was brought in for such
purpose; this being so. there is an I'M
escapable analogy between this case and
the pipe line case. Here the defendant
acquired by purchase a merchantable
commodity in Maryland and transported
it by his own private conveyance into
the District for the purpose of sale. In
that case the Standard Oil Company ac-
quired oil by purchase in various states
and transported it for purpose of sale
by it's own conveyance into other states
Speaking of that transaction the court
said. page $50:
1.-The situation that we have de-
scribed would make 1t illusory to deny
the title of commerce to such trans
portation. beginning in purchase and
ending in sale, for the same reasons
that make it transportation within

Promises Complete Survey.

Mr. Greene promised that a COM
plete survey will be made OF the war
time activity of this board and that
then his committee will offer legisla-
ton to place the shipping board and
the Emergency Fleet Corporation
upon a practical business basis
The resolution introduced today or
ders an inquiry into the operations
of the shipping board and Emergency
Fleet Corporation and OF any contract
that they have entered into. IL also
directs a careful auditing OF its imam
cial affairs
Such an investigation is desirable in
order to eliminate unnecessary theo-
retical practices and to establish the
business organizations to do business
in a normal and efficient way. Repre-
sentative Greene said. This investiea-
ton would consider the war powers
exercised by the board and would lead
to repeal of such existing legisla-
ton as would delay return to nor
NAL methods of business.

Will Recommend Legislation.

Supervision of the shipping interest
by the railroad authorities would come
in for careful scrutiny, Mr.. Greene
points out His committee. he says.
will prepare practical plans and
recommend legislation to carry them
out for the best way in which to dis
pose Of or operate government-owned
shipping.
One of the big results Of the inyesii-
CATION, he believes, will be some plan
for concentration and coordination of
efforts to extend United States trade.
both foreign and domestic.
Rather than have many different
organizations striving haphazardly To
extend the commerce of the United
States with foreign countries. we
should have one federal establishment
in which all these agencies would be
concentrated and their efforts directed
in an orderly way that should prove
most efficient.

When Commerce Commences.


Supreme Court said:
For whenever commodity has
begun to move AZ an article OF trade
from one state to another commerce
in that commodity between the state
has commenced"
Through these definitions runs the
suggestion Of trade. /. e.. buying and
selling or barter and exchange, and
its necessary incidents and the instru-
mentalitaes by which 1t may be car
rted on, and unless we assume that
the mere carrying OF an article across
q state line, regardless of its nature,
the method Of it's transportation, the
manner of its acquisition and it's con-
templated use, constitutes interstate
commerce. we must conclude that any
given transaction to be interstate
commerce must take on the nature
and assume the complexion of q COM
mercial transaction (across a state
line) to at least some sppreciable
degree.
