President Announces Properties

On That Date.
EXPRESS LINES ALSO
Original Time Extended Because Con-
gress Failed To Pass Neees-
sary Legislation To Meet
Conditions of Change.

Northumberland and operation
OF the nations railroads, assumed by
the government as a war measure two
years ago.. will revert to the owners
of the railroad properties next March
] unless Congress by Legislation fixes
an earlier date.
President Wilson. through a procia-
nation fixing March ! as the date OF
the return, put at rest speculation as
TO the time of the handing back of the
roads. The President in his last an
nouncement regarding the return,
made in an address to Congress in
May, said he intended to turn back the
roads at the end of the present year.
~ another proclamation, issued
with that in regard to the railroads,
the President ordered the dissolution
March / of the American Railway Ex-
press company, which was formed
July /, 1918, under government direc-
ton by consolidation of the Adams,
American. Wells-Fargo and Southern
companies.
Extension by two months Of the an
nounced time for return OF the rail-
roads was made. said a statement from
the White House accompanying the
proclamation. because Congress had
not enacted legislation to meet condi-
lions incident to the change ] n con-
troll and operation. The President, he
statement said, had been advised that
neither the railroads nor the express
companies were ready to manage their
properties II the plan to abandon gov
eminent supervision December 81
should be carried out.
Leaders In Congress generally ex-
pressed approval of the Presidents
actien. Some members predicted that
enactment of the pending bill in some
form would enable a return prior to
March 1. The Esch-C ummins bill, o
In conference between the Senate and
House for adjustment of differences,
would return the roads at the end OF
the calendar month in which 1t was
approved by the President
II think the President has done the
right thing" said Senator Cummins of
Iowa, chairman of the Senate Inter
state Commerce committee and chair
man OF the subcommittee which
framed the legislation known as the
Cummins bill. ut would have been
very unfortunate IL the roads had been
turned back before necessary legisla-
ton was enacted. Legislation to meet
conditions in connection with the re-
version of the properties undoubtedly
will be sent to the President within
the next month. 1t may be possible to
complete the legislation before the
end Of January"

Senators of Both Parties Want
Compromise To Straighten
Treaty TangIe.
WONT WAIT FOR BREAK
May Part Company with Leaders 20
Bring Tangible Results On Re.
assembling Of Congress After
Holidays.

Observation-Disclosures with prog.
ress made toward the solution OF the
peace treaty tangle, Senators OF both
political parties moved to bring great
or pressure on party leaders for a
compromise to insure ratihcations
promptly on re-assembling of Congress
early in January.
The mild reservation group OF
Republicans notifying their party
leader. Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets. that in their opinion the time
had come 70 part company with the ir.
reconcilable foes of the treaty. de-
clared that unless compromise nego-
tiations got more support from the Re-
publican side they were preparing to
act independently for an agreement
with the Democrats.
Among the Democrats the move
ment was not so well defined but criti-
cism Of the course President Wilson
and Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska,
the acting Democrats leader, reached
proportions which some predicted
would soon be given tangible form.
The feeling among those who are
ready to go ahead without their lead
ers seemed TO be that the treaty dead
lock already had ben prolonged UNI
necessarily by too much no-compro-
mise talk, and that both sides had
over-played a waiting game in the
hope that a break would come in the
opposition.
In the Democratic ranks the treaty
situation is complicated by the contest
between Senators Hitchcock and IN
derwood for choice as party leader,
coming from the Underwood support
ers. The party caucus has been
called for Januay 10 to elect a
leader and In the meantime Republi-
can and Democrats apparently are
doubtful as to who can speak with au-
thority on the Democratic side.
1t Is with this situation the biparti-
san movement is calculated to deal,
its hackers declaring neither side
should stand upon formality but
should earnestly try to ratify at once.

Statement Is Absurd.

mer in a statement denied the asser-
tons made by the coal operators
whose position he characterized as
"the merest quibble and quite un-
worthy OF the representatives OF a
great industry"
The operators, the Attorney General
said, from the beginning had been
clamoring for arbitration and had
stated repeatedly their willingness to
conform TO any plan which the Presi-
dent might suggest.
Their allegations now" continued
Mr., Palmer, that they were not ION.

The settlement proposal, as accep-
ted by the miners. the Attorney Gener-
al further declared. was submitted to
representatives OF the operators in
Indianapolis. who In turn communicate
cd It to their representatives in Wash
ington.
mo objection was made" added
Mr.. Palmer. 1.-THE operators remained
absolutely silent until after the men
were back In the mines. Then for the
first time they begin to object.
Miners Relied on Promise.
'The miners went back to work in
obedience to the law and the orders OF
the court without having their de-
mands granted. They relied. as they
had a right to rely. upon the promise
Of the President that upon a CON-
plete resumption Of operations COM
mittee would be appointed to take mp
the matters at issue. The officers Of
the government had an equal right to
rely upon the good faith OF the oper-
ators in their previous declarations OF
agreement with this program. The
government will not assume that the
operators will break faith. and In
deed. ways viii. be found to keep
faith In this vitality important trans
action. The commission will proceed
with its work and I have no doubt
that upon further reflection the oper-
at0Ts viii see the wisdom of hearty Co
