the men,
She was asked just what men her
committee would work with-the Ware
men or the Moore men.
II don't know anything about that,
she answered. II do not believe the
women as rule are interested in fac

the vote ut the May primaries?' Mrs.
Warburton was asked.
"I don't know she answered. "But
it's bound to come. Only five more
states are needed to ratify the amend

property. one half of such excess goes
to the carriers reserve fund while the
rest goes to the federal railroad contin :
gent fund which Is to be used by the
commission in making loans to rail-
roads or for the purchase of transporta =
ton equipment or facilities and leasing
the same to carriers.
In order that federal regulation may
be administered more efficiently, the bill
provides the following increased powers
for the commission:
Supervision over the issuance of
railroad securities, the commissions
approval being required before rail-
roads can issue stocks or bonds.
Establishment. of minimum rail
rates. the commission UP to this time
having had only power to establish
maximum rates. This power will
enable It to prevent a carrier from
conducting "cutthroat' competition.
Authority to make such Just and
reasonable direction with respect to
car service in times of emergency as
will best promote the service In the
public's interest.
Authority to compel the joint or
common use of terminals; to give
direction for preference or priority in
transportation, embargoes or move
ment Of traffic under permits.
Approval of new construction or
abandonment Of railroads.
Complete control over railroad
operation throughout the United
States in ease of war or threat

be centered in the commission. which
would have powers similar to those
now exercised by the railroad ad-
ministration.
Besides giving wider powers to the
commission. the bill would also increase
the membership from nine to eleven
and raise their salaries from $40, 900
to S12, 900 year.

said they had not given up their fight
against final enactment of the measure

efforts.
The union spokesmen said they had
been promised relief by President Will
son and that they accepted his plan for
settlement of the wage controversy in
good faith.

shipping board. Representative George
L. Fdmopds. of Philadelphia. expresses
tbe view that the state and not the city
should take It over and operate 1t

tion Of this property is a serious ques
ton and one deserving of the best
thought of both the officials of the state
of Pennsylvania and Of the city of Phil
adelphia," he wrote. ;.
"We are all aware of the fact that
for the future upbuilding of commerce
upon the Delaware River there Is no
location like this one at Hog Island,
originally part marsh and part muck.
The enormous expenditures by the gov
ernmept M have made this into a very
desirable piece of ground. and its loca-
tion below the ice troubles of the river
makes its position ideal. and, being
on fresh water, 1t furnishes an advan-
tage which is recognized by all owners
of steel ships.
Shouldn't Go to Railroad
"The shipping board is ready to lis
fen to proposals for this property. I'm
doubtedly it will be disposed Of. The
only question that can be raised is,
will It remain in hands whose ambi.
ton will be to build up the commerce
of the port of Philadelphia. II should

open to all railroads going to Philadel-
phia. Neither should it be In the
hands of any corporation that would
simply use it as an addition to some of
its present facilities.
"To my mind the only probable pur-
chaser of the property who would util-
ize it for the benefit Of the state of

at is no unusual thing for states to
assist in developing the ports in their
territory. The best port In the United
States today is presumed to be New Or
leans The entire matter there is in
the hands of the state of Louisiana and
Is financed by it. Massachusetts has
spent millions of dollars upon the port
of Boston. The state of California owns
the wharf facilities ut San Francisco.
All of these properties are managed by
special commissions, and understand
nre financially successful.
State Should Take 1t Over
II am bringing this matter to your

the state of Pennsylvania should ar.

it by a special commission

In addition, the federal board. "upon

Railway Expansion Necessary
The rate making section of the bill
stipulates that the Interstate Commerce
Commission, in establishing rates which
shall yield a return equal to 5H per
cent OF the aggregate value of the car
ricrs' property, "shall give due con-
slderation, among other things, to the
transportation needs of the country and
the necessity (under honest. efficient
and economical management of existing
transportation facilities) of enlarging
such facilities in order to provide the
people of the United States with ade-
quate transportation"
The section further provides "that
during the two years beginning March
i, 1920. the commission shall take ms
such fair return sum equal to 5h per
centum of such aggregate value, but
may, in its discretion, add thereto a
sum not exceeding one half of / per
centum of such aggregate value to make
provision in whole or in part for i'm
provements, bettcrments or equipment
which, according to the accounting sys-
tenn prescribed by the commission, are
chargeable to capital account"
Determination of the aggregate value
of the property of the carrier for rate
making purposes is left to the commits
sion. with the provision that it shall give
to the property investment account OF
