CONGRESS
To TACKLE
PROBLEM
Senator CumminS Wants to
See Campaign of
Education
BY. J. BARr CAMPBELL


WASHINGTON, Nov, ia nsn'
over compulsory arbitration OF striker
by the federal government is antici.
pated BY members OF congress during
the approaching short session.
Senator Cumimns. republican o.
Iowa, chairman OF the senate inter
state commerce committee. said today
he would seek to have restored to this
transportation act the anti-strike pro-
visions adopted by the senate, but re-
jected by the house during the last
session.
He believes. he said. "a campaign OF
education" would convince organized
labor that the anti-strike provisions
would insure railroad employees recetv-
ing a square dear in disputes be-
tween them and their employers
Senator Cummings said he was re-
elected on Nov after hte organized
labor forces in his state, arrayed
against him at the outset of the cam
paign as the author of the transpor-
tation act, began to understand to-
ward its close the merits of the anti
strike provisions which he had advo-
Gated.
L believe railroad men are becoming
convinced the anti-strike provisions
fective weapon and prove more ad-
vantageous to them than the strike"
Senator Cummins said. 7 am sure
they are beginning to understand that
the creation Of an anti-strike tribunal.
as was proposed under the transporta-
tion act, would ensure their receiving
a wage to enable them TO live decent
~ and TO possess proper working con
dltions.
When I sought reelection to the
senate I did not have the support OF
any railroad men in my state. found
they we're not informed as TO the real
meaning and purpose of the anti-strike
provisions for advocating which I was
so widely criticised. So 1 undertook
campaign of education and 1 believe
when the election took place I had the
support OF majority Of the men who
first opposed me-"
The senator expressed the opinion
the anti-strike provisions would pro-
vide the means for preventing all
strikes on the country's roads and as
soon as the railroad employees gener-
ally understood the advantages they
would reap from the provisions oppo-
sition to them in and out OF congress
would melt away.
He admitted, however. he expected
to encounter considerable opposition
al the coming short session to his plan
to have the provisions made a part Of
the transportation act.
Senator Cummins said he was in IA
vor OF congress enactng at the short
session the pure fabrics bill sponsored
by Senator Cappers. republican. or
Kansas, which is designed to let the
purchaser Of cloth and clothing know
what the goods are really made Of
He expected to have his COMMITTEES
take up the bill soon after congress
reconvenes.
He said there had also been consid-
erable talk Of the advisability of rs
pealing the tax on railroad transpor-
tation.
This tax IS really placed upon the
people purchasing transportation" the
senator said. TT is those who use the
railroads. not those who operate them

In order to halt this decline and safe
guard the agricultural interests of this
country. the farmers income must be
sufficient to permit them to give their

opportunities equal TO those given their
city cousins and to make the homes on
the farms so attractive that the city

Baran was placed under $1,000 bonds,
furnished by K. Frankowski, being
booked to appear before the federal
officers today.
Mr.. Baran had been i'll for six weeks,
he testified before officials today and
had not been in his basement since
last summer. HIS theory OF the affair
is that young man who came to
whiting this fall and who spent con-
siderable time at the Baran home, was
responsible. The youth claimed to be
studying for the priesthood, but his
actions di not bear this out.
The marriage Of Mrs. Baran's daugh-
ter occurred while he was III IN ~ed
and he believes the visitor undertook
TO make some moonshine for the occa-

kept in a soft drink saloon which ad-
