And this is the only way they can be

nothing less.
"The use of money in elections has
/ reached a point where the people Will
have 10 take hold of it, and in my lude-
ment the people viii do so. II is nothing
less than national peril that two months
\ before the convention the use OF money
in the attempt to control the convention
/ has reached the point of scandal. FOR
/ weeks these charges have been made,
/ and made by men who profess TO know
4 the facts.
/ THAT a vast sum Of money IS beang
spent Is perfectly apparent.
| II have seen letters from South Da-
/ kota. Virginia and Illinois, showing that
| thr people generally are becoming very
| restless in the face Of the apparent use
! of money for corrupt purposes. NO can
| didate for the Presidency this year can
| carry through the campaign the charge
! that his nomination was brought about
| through the money Of wealthy men, IN
| deed through a deliberate effort to con-
| troll the convention by the use Of money.
/ If such charge; are made, and they aFe
! Constantly made and constantly be

| If they can be met and refuted, by pub

| Men who put up vast sums of money
! for a candidate are believed by the pub
lie to have an ultersor, selfish motive.
ID is not the sct Of bene6cenee alto

eraIly believed that somewhere along

paign with any hope Of success with any
candidate, whether General Wood or

They may get by she convention with
such a program, but they WI not get

RAIL UNIONS TO ASK
S1,1OO,OOO,OOO RAISE
Hines Expected to Hear Their De
raands Today; Compromise
Seems Likely.

Washington, March 23.-Demands for
additional wage increases aggregstlng
sI,IOO, ,OOO, 900 annually, viii, it is reported
be made late today by the railroad workers
on behalf of 1,S50,000 employees, to II
Joint conference of managers and en-
ployes which has been called by President
Wilson to meet here with Walker ID.
Hines. Director General of Railroads.
This total represents the maximum de-
mands which have been made by the
various classes OF the workers, not IN tbe
expectation Of obtaining such a sum, but
in the determination to fight for various
minor increases and adjustments and at
all events to prevent drop from the new
levels and standards established as n
result of war conditions
1t is the expectation that the Inter
state Commerce Commission and the
Labor Boards, which were set up by legls-
lation, will bring about an agreement
which will grant some of the demands
without placing too severe a burden upon
the public In rate increases.
Railroad managers told that the pay
rolls were raised by the Government be
tween 1917 and March /, 1920, from 81, ),
74O. .OO0, 600 to S2,770, ,O00, 900, an increase
of $1,000, 900 . year. Should the
full demands for further increases be
granted, il is held that the new payroll
would be raised 70 IS, $40, ,00O, COO and
that an increase OF no less than 50 per
cent over existing rate schedules would
be necessary to continue the railroads In
solvent condition.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Board Of Adjustment created
under the legislation are to make a com
plete investigation of al elements involved
before September /. the date upon which
the present system of Governmental
guarantee ends. The financial operations
of the railroad corporations as wei as the
demands for wage increases win be care
fully inspected to determine the fairness
of the claims entered by both sides to the
controversy.

ITALIAN WOMEN BARRED.
Fifty Lines OF Work Close Door to the

Rome. March 20.-Italian women have

This order excludes women from appoint

No reason is given for the declaration
Of this ban, but Italian observer. point
out that evidently the authorities believe
II none too soon to raise a barrier against
the possible aspirations of Italian women
for public Office.

Menace to America
Before Committee
Ohio Representative Calls
Wilson Aid a Friend of
Revolutionists; Impeach-
ment Decision Tomorrow

From The Tr1buno's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Rules
Committee of the House, at a special
meeting Monday, will decide whether
impeachment proceedings shall be
pressed against Louis F. Post, Assist
ant Secretary of Labor, for alleged in
reference with deportation of anarch-
lists and other undesirable aliens.
Members of the committee which has
been investigating the charges filed
against Mr., Post by Chairman Johnson,
of the House IMMIGRATION Committee,
and Representative Hoch, of Kansas,
have suggested that Mr.. Post would
be able to delay action on an impeach
ment resolution until the end of the
session.
Removal May Be Demanded
They favor substituting for the i'm
parchment resolution now being con-
sidered by the Rules Committee, a
resolution condemniug the activities OF
Mr.. Post on behalf of alien radicals
and demanding his removal from of
fee. The course to be pursued was dis
cussed informally to-day by committee
members and by Republican leaders Of
the House, but no decision was reached
The committee heard Representative
Davey, Democrat, of Ohio, who made a
sweeping Indictment of Mr.. Post in
connection with the wholesale release
Of Reds rounded up by the Department
of Justice last January and recommend
cd for deportation.
Such men as Assistant Secretary
Post are menace TO America, living
threat to our national life" declared
Representative Davey. "The govern
ment should be rid of him quickly.
Drive out.of official life this friend Of
the revolutionists. Don't let him drag
down the government and the Consti-
ton which he has sworn to protect
and defend. Don't leave him where he
can serve tine alien enemies of our
country"
1000 Cases Involved
Since November l OF last year, said
Representative Davey. Mr.. Post had
ordered radicals released outright or
had cancelled. warrants in 1000 cases
where arrests had been made by the
Department Of Justice. Deportation

IN these cases, said Mr.. Davcy, had
been approved by the Commissioner Of
Immigration and the inspector of i'm
migration.
Representative Davey further alleged
that Mr.. Post had deferred final ac-
tion in cases from three to six months
and had permitted suspects to move
about without surveillance; that he
had blocked action of the Department
of Justice in alien cases; that he had
supplied attorneys for accused aliens
with government data; that he had re-
fused to accept signed statements made
by accused aliens at the time of their
arrests and prompted them to refuse
to answer questions, and that he had
issued instructions to immigration Off
cers to parole Communists or to re-
lease them on their own recognizances.
