 Similarly the government blocked questioning of Chapelle as to his ideas on the morality of the expression re- garding freight"
 The campaign of James W. Helme for the democratic senatorial nomina- tion. was again brought into the trial through the testimony of Van A. Loomis a deputy sheriff and private detective from Jackson.
 Loomis said he had been hired by Charles V. Deland. a defendant to cir culate Helme nominating petitions. He admitted receiving s20 for the work and said he had partially filled two peu- tions having space for twenty-five names each.
 Among the witnesses were num- Der of stenographers and typists em- ployed at Newberry campaign head quarters in Detroit. They named numerous defendants they had seen about ths offices, told of being paid in cash and some of them related that there was cash chest in the vault at headnua rters

 All classes of railroad employees, Sem ator cummins said, are to have repre- sentation upon the lower wage boards Since the government will not be repre- sented upon these boards, he explained, settlement of labor dispptes cannot be made compulsory by them, but it is com pulsory that in event of disagreement the dispute be referred to the federal board for settlement.
 Under the agreement on the rate making section, return of 515 per cent upon the net railway operating income IS guaranteed for period from IS months to two years after the bill be- comes law. The exact period will be fixed later by the eonferees. The Sen. ate bill prescribed five-year period.
 Provision is also made in the com promise that with the interstate com merce commissions approval, one-half of l per cent of the earnings may be given to the railroad responsible for the earnings and used for such unpro- duetive improvements as erection of terminals or Animation of grad cross ings.

UNDERSTANDS FEELING

'T can quite we'll understand that in the United States a feeling of distrust pre- yails and that there is a disinclinaticn to give credit at time when it might ap- pear that Europe still meditates war, and that it is this which helps to maintain the present disorganized financial condition But nothing could do greater harm to counties honestly striving toward peace' both internal and external than the pres ent uncertainty.
 ''We need to be able to buy on the American market what is indispensable to the life of our country under condl- tions of comparative stability, and for this reason it is necessary for Us that ths governments of the principal countries should put their heads together and at once take steps to end the present intol- erable position.
 'Tf the present disorder is not substl' tuted by some form of enlightened and honest cooperation. it is not an Euro pean crisis only which will follow, but crisis all over the world. And that IS a prospect too awful to behold.
 "The United States government can render services of the highest value to Humanity and to America herself. which would suffer from a worldwide crisis.
 "Italy needs above all things raw ma terials and foodstuffs. Italy has an im- mense reserve of man power. In few years tI1ne--l am never urea or TepedtllS It-Italy will be one of the richest coun- tries in the world. because she will use to the fullest extent the immense water power she possesses, besides lher great man power.
 But we must overcome the present diff faculties and take the first step, and in doing this we count upon the friendly and loyal help of the American people.
 With regard to the Adriatic question, as in all other political questions Italy has always wanted, and still wants to be reckoned as power in favor of peace and democracy
 ''As I have had occasion to declare be- fore. what we have accepted as the basis of discussion in London and Paris repre- sents the irreducible minimum of Italian aspirations. Nobody can expect that Italy should resign herself to be refused solution which she claims as her right, namely, the Pact of London. as well as a solution she invoSes in the name of justice.
 'We entered the world war depending on the guarantees of the Pact of Lon don, but we prefer just solution, and for this reason we are in favor of the compromise. To obtain this we have made all concessions in our power'

Hart, a Brooklyn at- torney, who was defeated for the ,as- sembly by Solomon last fall.

 Another important section agreed upon by the conferees and which is ex- pected to prevent much state litigation provides that the interstate commerce commission may suspend or change rates during the six months period period after the roads are released by the government

GET HALF OF EARNINGS

Fifty per cent of the earnings in ex- cess of the per cent will go to the railroad producing the excess return, while the other half goes to railroad contingent fund administered by the commission and used for the purchase of rolling stock and other equipment to be rented to the weaker foads to whom loans from this fund also may be made.
 The bill as compromised further au- thorizes the interstate commerce com mission to prescribe rates which will yield revenue by which this fixed re- turn may be guaranteed and after the termination of the period during which this return is effective, the commission is authorized to agree upon the percen- tage of return and fix rates accord ingly in order to insure it's continua- tion.
 The Cummins bill provided that one half of the earnings in excess of per fund and the remaining one-half would

 In reply. Hart testified Solomon said: i
 MT. Hart doesn't seem to realize the enormous proportions that this revolu- ton is going to take. There will be nothing which will be able to hold the wrath of the working class in check. They will be able to sweep aside like chaff in the wind the opposition of 4000000 men. What right have eX- service men to hold in check the des- tiny of 1OO,OOOoO0 people in this coun- try?"
 Hart previously had testified that he had heard Solomon say Revolution does not necessarily mean bloodshed, and on another occasion define "reVo- lution" as "a sudden change
 The judiciary committee today denied motion by a member, Assemblyman Maurice Bloch, to strike out as "oDvi- ously impossible" the testimony yester-' day of Miss Ellen B. Chivers, that Solo, mon spat on the American flag in war time in the presence of police officers.

derlng possible abnormal occurrences and grayely disturbing home production and foreign commerce.
 Italy has adopted all measures at home which will contribute to the defense of her financial and economic organization but her efforts must be limited, while problem 50 vast and complex must have an international solution.
 Tt is in the America herself that the exchange question should not become worse, but should immediately be solved by international agreement. We must all act together for the safety of all and in my opinion the problem must be attacked immediately and energetically.
 It might at first sight appear that the United States has no immediate interest but this question of exchange will end by being most injurious to the United States. If steps are not taken in time there will be one of the most colossal crises the world has ever seen, and Amer ica will be drawn into it. II is impera- tive that a condition of equilibrium be re- established immediately"

Miss Kate McDorgal of North Branch. formerly clerk in the House of Rep vesentatives at Lansing, at the after nuoon session, testified to receiving, indexin gand filing at Detroit head quarters about 400 contracts with Michigan newspapers for advertising.

PAID s25 A WEEK

Harry Viger of Grand Rapids was asked to tell about an offer of employ ment made to him by George w. Welsh, state representative from this city He was reluctant and was sharply or dered by Judge Sessions to answer the questions. He said he received S25 q week for distributing literature in Grand Rapids factories and worked after the primary.
 He also went to nearby towns. He said he received instructions from Welsh, Floyd Haskins and others in the Grand Rapids office and gave literature "tc everybody I met"
 He said he used his own automobile and was paid in cash for the expenses of running the car.
 viger's testimony named Daniel Ken nedy. a Grand Rapids laborer. and a defendant. as getting s45 week for distributing circular sand getting peti- tion signatures. There was no cross examination.
 Mir Littleton moved that the evil dence be stricken out on the ground that none of it tended to establish a conspiracy. that no foundation had been laid for it and that actions by defendants named were not binding on others. He was overruled.

Rome, February 4-Premier Nitti, in a lengthy statement to the Associated Press today on the economci situation. said:
 T agree with many points in the let ter of Secretary of the Treasury Glass. addressed to the American Chamber of Commerce. Europe must be animated by the spirit of peace. The present state of mind cannot continue long. But, above all it is impossible to prolong much fur ther the present economic situation. Italy has set an example, understanding this necessity.
 "We, first among all the nations of Europe, have adopted the heaviest taxa tion. We are raising taxes usfficient to pay the interest on our debts and also our expenses. For each new debt we have advised new taxation We are ap- preaching equilibrium Of the national budget and if We could count on favor- able circumstances we should be the first nation on the European continent to balance our income and expenditure.
 We count only on our own strength, not on indemnities from the vanquished countries If these indemnities eventually are paid it will be just compensation Tor all our sacrifices
 But we must depend exclusively on our own resources
 We have just launched a great loan in order to withdraw treasury notes from circulation and reduce the paper cur rency. Subscriptions to this loan already amount to IA 000O00,000 lire, enabling us to withdraw from 10,000 100000 to l2D1.- GOO, 600 in treasury notes and decrease the paper currency. We have never cast any doubt as to our duty to pay debts con- tracted in England and America. we have only asked for a reasonable post ponement. It is not for q country winch has made sacrifices like ours to have immediate payment demanded
 Ut would not be unreasonable or un- iust bnt for all that we do not forget our duty. We are descendants or those ancient Romans who said that 10 owe money was to be slave. We won't pc slaves even to our best friends. We de- sire to return as soon as possible what xve borrowed.

 As outlined, the work of the commit tee does not contemplate that the full membership shall be assembled at any stage of the pre-convention work, Most of it's deliberations will be carried on by correspondence through its ex- ecutive secretary and through the heads of separate groups if it is decided to create them to deal with special sub 1ects. It is emphasized that the most the committee or it's groups will do IS to recommend, and that the reeommen- dations will not be binding on the con- vention.
 PLATFORM SUBJECTS
 Among the subjects selected as pos sible platform material, and on which opinions will be collected and tabu- lated, are business rehabilitation, tariff changes, readjustment of foreign and domestic commerce, postal reforms better labor conditions and review of the democratic administration. After the conference today, Chairman Hays said, however, that there had been no attempt so far to reach definite conclu- sions and that the whole work of the committee still was in formative stage.
 Committee members generally de- clined to discuss the omission of for eign relations from the list of possible campaign issues, beyond saying that the whole subject apparently remained open until the Senate had made its rec ord on the peace treaty. It has been an open secret for weeks that some of the influential figures in the party, as in the democratic party, do not want the treaty put over into the campaign and considerable pressure has been brought
