RAILROAD QUESTION
B0THERS CONGRESS
HOUSE AND SENATE DEADLOCK
ON VARIOUS PROPOSITIONS
IN THE BILLS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senate and
House conferees on the railroad bill
seemingly are in a deadlock with little
possibility of a compromise which will
enable congress to approve of final
legislation in time to get the roads
back to private ownership by March /
This fact has been admitted by
Senator Cummins, chairman of the
senate committee and also by Repre-
sentative Esch, chairman of the
house committee. Aside from these
admissions, the situation in the com
mittee is such that it paints picture
of hopelessness which could not be
hidden even though effort was made.
Despite the ten or eleven months in
which congress has struggled with, the
railroad bill, the result is complete
failure to agree upon a measure
which would receive the unqualified
support of congress and of the coun-
try. The result is criticized by both
republicans and democrats as a frank
confession of the incapacity Of this
congress under it's present leadership
to handle any great constructive ques-
tion such as is the railroad question.
The contention in congress has re
suited from the effort of the republi-
cans in the senate to frame bill
which would grant certain favorable
consideration to the railroads and the
refusal of the house republicans to
submit to such an attitude on the
railroad question.
The senate bill provides for a
guarantee of earnings up to per
cent of the valuation of the roads and
has an additional provision that all
earnings in excess of 6 per cent shall
be put into contingent fund to be
distributed to all roads as the neces-
sity arises. In other words, the SEN
ate bill provides that the powerful
roads shall be compelled to assist the
less prosperous ones.
Railroad owners themselves have
split on this question with the owners
of securities supporting the senate
provisions for a division of excess
earnings and the owners of prosper
GUS roads insisting this division can
not be legally forced upon them.
Members of the house are both OPP
posed to the guarantee of earnings
and to the division of excess earnings,
that is the majority membership in
the house as reflected by the house
conference committee, is opposed to
both provisions.
Neither side apparently will retire
from the position it has taken though
from day to day there comes sug-
geston Of one form or another Of com
promise.
AS to the anti-strike legislation in
the senate bill it is understood the
support this provision to the last as
senate committee stands ready to
necessity though willing to surrender
it if the house will surrender on its
opposition to the guarantee of earn
ings and division Of excess earnings.
Daily the committee members have
gone into conference and daily they
have walked all around the question
of earnings and daily they have left
the conference room refusing to re-
quest guidance from their associates
In the house or from the executive, de-
partment.

It's very difficult question to an

"Exide' cannot be measured accurate
". Its ultimate usefulness is just as
uncertain as life itself. Some of US

pear frail and worn and yet keep on
doing our work while the more husky
looking ones drop off suddenly.
Yet it's no more of gamble than
life itself. We all know that the sur
est way to keep ourselves fit as fid-
die for our everyday duties and pre-
serve our health to ripe old age is by
taking the best of care of ourselves,
keeping regular hours, being fed at
regular intervals and having the right
rest.
A storage battery is exactly the
same. The longest and most reliable
batteries are owned by men who give
their batteries the best of care-by
feeding" them at stated intervals and
by giving them regular rest periods.
We have letters from car owners who
have had "Exide" Batteries in contin-
uous service for four, five and even
more years and they were still in OPP

careless owners in less than six

Toronto, July 24.-The double dis
appearance of Ambrose ]. Small
millionaire theatrical man of this city
and his secretary, John Doughty, botf
well known citizens of Toronto, has
been one of the most mystifying cases
with which the Canadian police have
had to deal. Small has been MISSING
since December and Doughty since
December 2S, last.

had promised her to be home tc
dinner in the evening. He had at
tended to some business late that
afternoon and about 7 o'clock started
for home, so far as is known. The
last person known to have seen him
was his favorite newsboy, from whom
Mr.. Small bought the evening papers
The fact that Mr.. Small was miss

or four weeks had elapsed. In the frs
week in January the first circulars
asking for information as to Mr.
Small's whereabouts were sent ou

of June q reward Of $4,000 was eff
