Government retention of railroads
and the electrifica ton of all railroad
systems were advocated by Robert w.
Woolley, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, in an address before the
Little Forum. last night, as two ways
in which to reduce the cost of living.
Woolley declared that New York had
been built up as a port by various
railroad systems. while under private
control. p detriment to other cities on
the Atlantic seaboard.
He quoted statistics to show that
under private competitive operation
United States railroad systems had
placed private aims before their
duties as public service corpora

Even during the war" he said
when the demand on the railroad
systems Of the country was at its
height, the determinations indi-
vidual railroad lines to handle all
the business which came to them
and their refusal to divert traffic
to other lines which were not over
crowded, was the cause of the

Protest Over Oklahoman on
Committee Causes Mon
dell to Seek Substitute.

Reconsideration of the Republican
Committee on Committees selection
yesterday of Representative Harreld.
of Oklahoma. for the House Military
Affairs Committee. appeared to be
certain last night.
To avert a certain breach in the
party organization. II the warfare
started when the selection was made
is allowed to continue. Representa-
tive MondelI. of Wyoming. cSsirman
of the Committee on Compiitteesr
and the other leaders who backed
Mr.. Harreld because of his opposi-
tion to universal military training
are expected to issue a call for an
other meeting within a day or two.
The New York members. who led
in the storm of protest. reiterated
yesterday that they will not stand
for Mr.. Harreld's selection, and de-
clared that they would take their
fight to a caucus and even to the
floor of the House unless a change
is made.
According TO cloakroom gossip. the
place will go to Representative New
ton, of Missouri. Mr.. Newton leans
towards universal military training
though he has no positive views on
the subject. and will be entirely
acceptable to Representative Julius
Kahn. of California, chairman of the
Military Affairs Committee and cham
pion of universal training.
The New York members said they
would not be entirely satisfied with
Mr.. Newton. but that he would suit
them better than Mr.. Harreld.

Representatives Unmoved
By Problem of District
Workers to Live on Wages

Their hopes of an emergency sal
ary increase sheltered by the turn
down of the Zihlman bill yesterday
the 1000 employees of the District
government will have to resign
themselves to trying to get along
on the same old pay check. Some
of them are receiving salaries which
have not been raised since 1874.
Representative Zihlman was much
chagrined over the action of the
House District Committee in refus-
ing to consider his measure on the
ground that the question of salary
increases should be untouched until
the Joint Commission on Reclassi-
fication of Salaries shah have made
its report. He declared that. in his
opinion. no Congressional action
missions report.
mission to bring in a report that
will bring relief" said Zihlman. 81
do not believe. personally, that the
Redistribution Commission will ac-
complish anything. That statement
sion that we have all heard in the
House and by statements of infiu-
ential leaders in that body.
There are conditions among Dis
trict employees that are acute and
distressing"
At present 50 District employees
receive but $50 per month. and PAS
manage somehow on $1,000 or less
per annOm.
Zihlman's contention that because
Congress had recently increased the
pay of District ffremen and police
men 1t should also make provision
for civil employees was met by Rep
resentative Lanham with the state
ment that it would be very difficult
to get legislation through Congress
for a select class of civilian en-
ployes of the District.
Representative Florian Lampert. of
Wisconsin. supported Nhiman in hts
fight for the District workers. Lam
pert sought to have a subcommittee
named to hold hearings and go into
the questions involved In the ZihI-
man bill. His motion to this effect
was defeated by a 9-tp-2 vote.
The District Commissioners have
indorsed the Zihlman bill, and Com
Louis Brownlow urged
that some action be taken on 1t
after hearings had been held to de-
termine it's merits,
Representative N. J. Gould, of New
York, said that he believed there

Closing of all Washington stores
retailing foodstuffs at p. m. was
advocated by John Wolf, president
of the Capital Retail Grocers'. Pro-
tective Association. at a meeting In
Business High School last night.
Wolf asked that Clarence r. Will
son. chairman or the District Fair
Price Committee. who was present
at the meeting, draw up a bill to
that effect and submit 1t, through
the proper channels, for action by
Congress.
Wolf declared that grocers were
entitled to an evenings pleasure,
just as persons following other oc-
cupations, and compared the store
keepers position to slavery.
Lincoln freed the colored race" "
Wolf said. addressing Wilson. "You
save the white race

cooperation with the committee.
Wilson quoted a list of fair mar
gins of profit to be observed by re-
tailers. The list is being conside red
hxr ha k,,. IA. i
cision has been made regarding it.
The list named IL per cent as a
fair goods profit on bread and from
20 to % per cent on canned goods.
Wolf also submitted a list which, in
some respects, showed lower margin
than the one in the hands of the COM
mittee.
High Price Not Prohteering.
I'VE have never been deceived into
believing a high price is unfair" Will
son told the grocers. "A high price
does not mean profteering. That Is
something the public will have to
learn"
Wilson told how. he asked the
grocers to submit their claims to him.
and how he. in turn. referred them to
the committee.
Regarding profiteering by whole
salers," he said. in answer to a ques-
ton, retailers are slow in making
such reports to the committee: while
on the other hand. the public is quick
in detecting and informing the COM
mittee of alleged exorbitant charges
made for food by retailers"
Wilson repeatedly referred to the
great help the organization had rend-
cred the committee. The grocers were
not slow in returning expressions of
confidence.
