OPPOSE The RAIL BILL
Unions Claim Employees Rights
Are Violated.
Heads of Brotherhoods Present Their
Objections to Measure to
congressman.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Leaders Of
the railroad brotherhoods and Of the
American Federation of Labor pre-
sented their objections to the confer
ence report on the railroad bill at
meeting of more than 100 members Of
the house.
The brotherhoods demanded the de-
feat of the legislation as inimical to
the rights and interests of labor and
specifically condemned the sections
guaranteeing 5h per cent return to
railroad investors.
'The pending bill in its provisions
under title three deprives citizens en-
ployed on railways of their inviolate
right to enjoy gains of their own in
dustry," says a memorial submitted
by the unions. "The returns to cap
ital are fixed upon arbitrary basis,
the rate which the public mus. pay
and wages which labor must receive
must accommodate themselves to this
basis fixed for capital.
'This act makes congress predom-
inant. 1t makes the public and labor
subservient to capital. For these rea-
sons herein set forth and many others,
we request and respectfully urge that
this bill be defeated in it's entirety.
Railroad employees never have and
do not now seek to be treated as a
privileged class, but we ask and expect
Just and equitable treatment and the
continuation of our inalienable right
to have an equal voice, representation
and vote In any tribunal created ~
law or mutual agreement which is to
establish by its decisions the compen-
sation we are to receive for our efforts
and the working conditions under
which our services must be rendered"
Attacking the guaranteed return pro-
vision the memorial says that hitherto
competition has been relied upon to
keep railroad rates from becoming ex-
tortionate, and adds:
''It is proposed that we abandon that
theory. This act denies to the pub
lie the benefit Of competition, by pro
posing to pay per cent, not as COM
pensation for services rendered the
public, but upon value Of their prop
critics as determined by an administra-
tive body.

BY EDWARD W. PIckARD.

The Adriatic In general and Fiume
In particular provided the main topic
OF international discussion last week
and there was much excited talk in the
world capitals. Premiers Lloyd George,
Millerand and Nitti thought they had
arranged a neat settlement of the
Adriatic trouble and had called on
Jugo-Slavia to accept II. with the al
tentative Of having the principles Of
the pact Of London applied. But they
were reckoning without President Will
son. probably because he seemed to
have withdrawn himself to q great ex-
tent from the discussions over the sub
ject. AS soon as he learned what the
big Three" had done, Mr.. Wilson
projected himself into the affair with
a note that tipped over their apple
cart and brought them to realization
that he was still to be considered. He
declared that he cauld not consent to
the solution reached by the premiers
and called attention to the discrepan-
cies between It and the settlement Of
the problem agreed upon in December
at the London conference, IN which the
United States was represented. Then
he added postscript that was the
real stinger. Despite denials In WASH
ington, Il Is quite certain that in this
postscript Mr.. Wilson told the pre-
miers that unless they receded from
their position he would take into seri-
Gus consideration the withdrawal Of
the United States from the treaty Of
Versailles and from the treaty be-
tween the United States and France.
or course considerable portion Of
the press in the allied countries was
enrnged by this note and roundly
abused Mr.. Wilson. but the statesmen
and others well informed recognized
the soundness of his position and the
fact that the withdrawal Of America
from further concern In the peace set
tlement would be disastrous. The al
lied council sent reply to washing
ton which, while It urged the difficulty
OF inducing the rival interests to con-
sent to the December solution, was ex-'
ceedingiy concillatory In tone and
asked the president to Indicate what
practical steps can be taken to carry
out the earlier agreement, under which
Fiume was to be created into free
state under the League Of Nations and
the principle Of self-determination was
TO be applied to the Dalmatian coast.
The situation Is extremely delicate and
there are not few who predict that
the outcome win be another war, with
Italy and Jugo-Slavia as the contend
ers- From the beginning Mr.. Wilson
has insisted that Jugo-SIavla should
not be shut on from the sea by Italian
territory. and In this country. at least,
this contention Is generally supported.
There Is no unfriendliness toward
Italy. but a feeling that she has al
ready enough seaports; and the SYM
pathy with the new republic of the
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes is marked.
The American government wished to
make public the notes exchanged in
this affair. and took steps to obtain the
consent Of Great Britain. France and
Italy. This Is In accord with the prin-
cipIe Of "open covenants openly ar
rived at which Mr.. Wilson vainly
tried to make effective when he went
to Paris the first time.

have something to say about the agree
ments reached by the supreme council
last week that the sultan shall be per-
mitted to retain Constantinople and to
reside there, provided the massacres
of Armenians are discontinued; and
that the Dardanelles and the Bosphor-

The allies so far yielded to the pro-
testations of the Germans against the
surrender Of war criminals as. to tell
Berlin that the accused might be first
tried before the German supreme
court in Leipsic. But the allies reserve
the right to reject the results Of such
trials If they believe there is any mis-
carriage Of justice and in such cases
to enforce the terms of the treaty and
themselves try the offenders. 1t is
stipulated, also, that the verdicts at
previous trials of German war crimi-
nails must be annulled and the cases
remanded for retrfal. This would re-
open the Fryatt case, in which the
verdict was that the murder of the

sion far from Europe. The place most
favored seemed to be Curacao, an is

any plotting in his retirement he
would find a congenial atmosphere in

uge Of would-be revolutionists from

be, however, that Holland will merely
