which has yet marked the trial be-
fore the assembly judiciary commit
tee of the five suspended socialist
assemblymen charged with disloyalty
occurred at the opening of today's
session, when Assemblyman Louis

the cross examination, had conveyed
the impression that he was reading
from a report on conditions in Rus

Attorneys Clash.
Judge Arthur E. Sutherland sprang
up to defend his colleague altho he
declared Mr.. Conboy needed no de-
Tense and that the matter was plain
to any one who wished to see it in
its true light. -.
When, Mr.. Stedman twice inter-
rupted him Judge Sutherland de-
manded that he keep still for a
moment" and that "he desired only
the courtesy one American would ex-
tend to another"
The judge added that he represent
ed the charge of unfairness on the
part OF Mr.. Conboy.
The defense which asked that the
article be entered in evidence, with
drew it after learning its nature.
Chairman Martin then announced
he would issue request for the al
legged report. He ordered that all
remarks be stricken from the record.

implication of irregularity for COM

Waldman was questioned concern?

FARMERS LINE UP
FOR RAILROAD BILL
"Big Six" Organizations Urge Presi-
dent Wilson to Approve Cummins-
Esch Measure-One Lone Farmer
Organization Registers Opposition
and Asks for Hearing.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, Feb. 26.-While the
railroad bill is in the department Of
Justice being scanned as to it's val
idity. President Wilson is receiving
vigorous representation for and
against his approval of the measure.
The latest was submitted by the
"big six" Of the organization of
farmers. The Grange, National
Farmers Union, international Farm
Congress, American Farm Bureau
Federation, National Milk Producers
Association and the National Farm
Congress, reiterating the stand of
several organizations against gov
ernment ownership Of the railroads
and urging that the president sign
the bill. On the other hand the
Farmers National Council sent a
protest against the bill and seeking
conference with the president. =
White House officials indicated
that action would be taken by the
president before March l.
Representatives of the railroad
brotherhoods called at the White
House today to present memorial
urging that the president veto the
railroad reorganization bill. They
were joined by the representatives Of
the Farmers National Council. The
visitors did not see the president
but Mr.. Turnulty said he would pre-
sent the memorial to the president
at the earliest possible moment.
George p. Hampton, mana ging di-
rector Of the Farmers National Coun-
Gil, presented the arguments for that
organization. He said the bill con-
tanned vicious provisions antag-
onistic to American interests"
Permission to consolidate the roads
would result in an immediate false
capitalization" he declared. The in
structions to the interstate commerce
commissioner fix rates of 51s per
cent, he continued, gives carriers a
good basis for demanding very high
rates since the exact effect Of in
creasing rates in reducing the volume
Of traffic can not be forecast"
Other objections We're that the
rights granted the railroads under the
bill created for them a new property
right, estimated as worth to them, ut
least $4,000, 100000 and placed heavy
carrying charges on the people.
Mr.. Hampton declared that -four
times as many farmers, members Of
farm organizations, had urged the
two year extension of government OPP
GRAFTON as had asked that the roads
be returned" and presented creden-
tials to show that he represented q
large number Of organizations"
III. L. Bissonnette, president Of tho
Iowa state branch OF the Americ N
Society Of Equity, accompanied Mr..
Hampton. He said the society had
endorsed the two year extension of
government operation and that it now
urged that the president veto the rail-
road bill.
farmers have to take risks OF crop
failures every year in order to feed
the nation" he said.
"The outstanding debt against farm
values is between $4,000. 100000 and
81 900 100000 and the interest rate is
around per cent. The government
does not guarantee this interest re-
turn every year. Why should the gov
ernment underwrite the railroads?"
