to Have Share in COntrof-

PARIS, May e.-The strike Of rail-
way men, which has now extended to
the miners and lockers aud to- the
metal workers in the Paris district,
with the threat Of a possible general
strike, has caused the government to
hasten it's promised plan Of reorganiss-
tions of the railroads as forecast In
the Chamber of Deputies on February
"a last. 1t is considered that this plan,
giving control of the transportation
systems to committee representing
all interests, will furnish the probable
basis for a settlement of the strike,
which is a continuation of the May Day
demonstration with naturalization of
the railroads as its chief object.
Unoficisl details of the governments
project shows it provides for con-
trolling council composed of delegates
representing the technical and admin
istrative personnel of the railroads,
the workmen, chambers Of commerce,
Parliament and the government. Under
the plan this council would have au-
thority to order improvements, and, if
necessary, have the work done at the
expense of the companies.
Companies to Act as Managers
theoretically, the companies would
retain and operate their properties,
but they would merely be managers.
One of the most striking ideas Is that
of compensation, which under the
scheme would be based upon the
mileage of cars and tons moved by the
roads, so that their interests would be
markedly in the direction of full eff
cheney of equipment and rapid move
ment of freight
Money for financing improvements is
expected to be found through the gov
ernment's guarantee of railway bonds,
This proposed law is before the COM
panles and it is expected they will have
their comments or answers ready soon
Premier Millerand, when the railroad
men announced naturalization Of the
roads as the ir strike program, declared
the reorganization measure would be
presented to the Chamber Of Deputies
when it reconvened on May II.
Yves lie Trocquer, Minister Of Public
works, when asked to-day concerning
the proposed reorganization bill serv-
ing as base of compromise with the
General Federation of Labor. said hc
had requested the leaders of the feder
alton to confer with him previous to
presentation of the bill in the Cham
Der. The leaders had not responded,
he declared, and he would not consult
theii again. ne 1eredatlon will have
to defend its ideas through its repre-
sentatives in Parliament, which is the
sole judge of the question" he added.
Federation May Object
There IS a possibility the measure
will prove unacceptable to the General
Federation of Labor. which is directinr

and lockers. After the first heat Of
labor's naturalization demand had
passed the General~F ederation issued

Fourteenth Regiment
Men Fear Disbandino

Officers and men Of the Fourteenth
Regiment, New York National Guard
Brooklyn's oldest militia organization,
are convinced, they said yesterday, that
they are slated for disbanding, along
with the Forty-seventh Regiment, un-
der the reorganization plan of the
War Department.
The only thing that can prevent it,
they believe, is pressure at Washing
ton, which already has been brought
to bear by friends of the famous fight
ing unit, who feel that the elimination
Of the regiment, with its traditions,
would be a lamentable loss to. Brook

Bonus Legislation to
Wait Till After Recess

WASHINGTON, May 6.--~After u
series of informal conferences Demo-
cratic and Republican members of the
House agreed to-day there was no
prospect of enactment of soldier relief
legislation before the forthcoming re-
cess for the political conventions.
Representative Knutson, of Mime
sofa, the Republican whip, said many
members felt that the whole question
should go over until after the Novem-
ber election so as to avoid tn epossible
injection of partianship in its con-
sideration.
Representative Garner, of Texas,
Democratic whip and member of the
Ways and Means Committee, which
conducted extensive hearings on relief
legislation, declared sentiment was
changing and that majority of the
Democratic members of the committee
were willing to let the bill continue
to sleep in committee"
Much of the change in sentiment,
members said, was due to the large
number of protests against increasing
the tax burden and its possible cffect

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISIONS REPORT

Chicago, Sept. 18.@Severe breaks
in the value of grain have taken
place this week, largely owing Ito
acute weakness # sterling ex-
change, and to increased prospects
of a huge yield of corn. Compared
with week ago, wheat this morn
ing was down 3hc to 4Ac, corn
of 65sc to csc, and oats varying
from &c decline to &c advance. Net
differences in provisions ranged
from TIC los sto rise of $2.45.
The hardest single jolt to grain
prices came fro ma collapse of 81
cents one day in quotations on
wheat. This collapse accompanied
a sharp, fall in sterling rates and
also conceded with an apparent
complete halt in export business.
Extensive selling at this juncture
was ascribed to leading Spectator
in cotton. Rains greatly OF benefit
to the Argentine crop acted as an
additional bearish influence. Later
however, export business showed a
revival, domestic milling demand
was active, and the wheat market
rallied to a considerable extent,
with signs again prevalent of a
holding attitude by farmers.
Estimates that q big share Of the
corn crop was already safe from
frost did a good deal to pull down
the corn market,
Oats were steadied by short COW
ering.
Hogs at the topmost price yet
this season hoisted provisions.

CITY DADS AGAIN
CONSIDER STREET
WIDENING SCHEME

Moline's street widening project.
left incomplete because Of brick
shortage, may be revived this fall
and winter. Construction Of nu-
merous downtown sidewalks has
brought the matter again before
the attention Of city officials. The
project includes the improvement
Of Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth
and possibly Thirteenth streets be-
tween Fourth and Seventh avenues.
Mayor C. P. Skinner announced
today that il there is any posi-
bility OF obtaining brick for next
spring the board Of local improve
ment will end all preliminary tech
nicAlities this winter. Latest re-
ports from contractors are that no
brick pavements can be completed
until Oct. /. 1921, and no contracts
are being considered except on that
basis. This condition affects work
on Fifteenth street hill and TWEEN
ty-seventh street and Tricks hill.
The board of local Improvements
is inclined to believe that part Of
the cost Of the street widening prof.
ect should be apportioned to the
general public claiming that the
widening Of these downtown streets
would mean as much benefit to the
public cas- to the property owners
Of the district They suggested that
q part Of the expense of the project
be paid from the public benefits
fund.

MENTAL CAPACITY
TEST NEXT MONTH

Seven hundred pupils in rural
schools of the county above first
and second grades will participate
in mental capacity test under
supervision of DIR. Walter S. Mon
roe of the bureau Of education re-
search of the University Of Illinois
The tests will be given Oct. 4 and
it is estimated that 100000 pupils
throughout the state will be
reached.
1t is the first time q general men
tai test has been given in Rock Is
land county rural schools. al
though the eighth grade pupils last
spring were given such an examin-
alton. County school authorities
expect it will bring about reclassi-
fication Of many students who have
been pushed forward in the coun-
try schools.
DR.. Monroe, who has devised the
series of examinations, announces
his purpose to determine the men,
tai age Of each student and classify
them according to individual rath-
er than group standards. Combine
ton Of the city and rural tests 1t

START FUND FOR
MORE EQUIPMENT

Need for more adequate fire pro-
lection in Silvis has lead that grow
ing railroad center to make plans
for the purchase of a new IRE truck
and other equipment. A fund with
which to purchase the new truck
will in all probability be started
with money collected. from fire in
surance companies, two per cent on
the premiums paid on Silvis poll
cies.,
The money paid by the fire insur-
ance companies can be used only
for the purchase of new equipment
and Improvements to the fire de-
partment. No great amount of
money has 80 Tar been paid the city
clerk. Harold Chapman. but he is
pressing his demands and it is ex-
pected several hundred dollars will
soon be added to the fire fund.
The question Of purchasing q new
truck has not been formally pre-
scented to the city council; but the
plan has been discussed by the AID
ermen on several occasions. At
present the city has q Ford IRE

MURDER TAKES
up MUCH Time
Examinations o. Witnesses IN Case
Of Shooting Thursday Pro-
crosses Slowly.

In the inquiry in the murder Of
Robert Swearingen. in the rooms
over the Cortland bakery Thursday
morning, several witnesses have
been examined. States Attorney
Hebel, in conducting the in
Quiry has questioned each witness
separately and the story told by all
seems to agree that the murder was
committed as the outgrowth of an
attempted holdup of a poker game.
The three men who returned yes-
terday from Dewitt, Iowa, where
they had gone early Thursday
morning, are being examined to-
day. They admitted being in the
room and were robbed of their
money, along with Swearingen and
others, by the men who escaped in
an automobile. Other witnesses to
be examined were men who were
on the street and not in the room
when the crime was committed.
Progress in the examination has
been slow, due to the difficulty in
getting the various witnesses to tell
the story connectedly. The weapons
found in the room were displayed
at the hearing this morning and it
is thought that developments lead
ing to the Identification Of the man
or men who shot Swearingen will
