CHARGE RAILROADS. WITH GREAT FRAUD.
Rmployes Says Public Lost Millions of Dollars by Conspiracies-U. s. Railroad Board Takes Up Hear
 ing Recessed Last Summer.

Chicago. Jan. t0.-Charged by rail- road employees with defrauding the public of millions of dollars" and conspiring to create unemployment by cost-plus contracts with equipment companies, rail representatives today laid down a barrage of detail in sup port of their plea for abolishment of national agreements before the Unit ed States Railroad Labor board. The railroad representation occupied the entire afternoon session, following the employees opening statement, when the hearing opened this morn ing
 The employees charges, which de- clared that eighty per cent of the railroad mileage in the country was controlled by the Morgan steel in- terests, asserted that maintenance costs had been inflated at the expense of the public. This was done. accord ing to the statement of B. M. Jewell, head of the railroad employees de- partment of the American Federation of Labor, by letting contracts to equipment companies controlled by the same banks that control the rail- roads"
 Under the guarantee of the Esch- Cummins act, the alleged inflated costs constitute fraud against the United States government" and oper- ated to throw out of employment over 50,000 skilled railway employees, ac- cording to the workers representa- tives.
 Declaring that the charges had no relevancy to the hearing on rules and working conditions, E. l.. Winter, chairman of the managers committee Of the railroads, asserted that they were made to divert public attention from the matters in controversy.
 Today's session was adjourned be- fore the completion of Mir. Winters statement. He will resume his testi- mony tomorrow, after which the rail- road employees are expected to bring up evidence substantiating charges presented in their opening statement this morning.
 The session which opened today marks the continuation of the hear ing begun last summer and which was recessed with the wage award on July 20, 1920. The present hearing is to determine whether the national agreements, made under federal man. agement, will be continued, as re- quested by the railroad employees.

\ MILLION HOUSES ARE
 NEEDED IN THE NATION
Figures Disclose There Is Still Much to Do in the Way of
 Building.

Washington, Jan. Estimates placing the shortage of houses at more than 1,250,o00 will be placed be- fore the National Council of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States at meeting in Washington January 27 and 2S, which will discuss measures to relieve the situation.
 The housing shortage, according to John Ihlder, manager of the national chambers civic development depart ment, has reached a point where A,O00,OO0 persons are inadequately housed.
 For several years prior to the World War" Mr. Ihlder said today, | "it is conservatively estimated be- tween 350,O00 and 100000 family dwellings were erected each year. This includes houses and apartments. "ln 1919. it is estimated, there were only about 70,000 houses built in the United States, while the number erect ed in 1920 probably will turn out to have been even smaller than that.
 While it is true there are many houses for sale, these are nearly all HOW oecupleu DN tenants. The number of houses for rent in most ccmmuni- ties is practically nil, and thu major ity of these houses are not suitable for the needs of the average wage earner. 4 man with an income of S5,000 year or more does net have as much trouble getting desirable quarters as the wage -earner who can rot afford Co pay high rents. Those earning small salaries are the ones who are hit hardest by the housing shortage It is for these that decent homes must be built"

FIVE INDICTED ON
MURDER CHARGE
Wayne County Grand Jury Re-
turns True Bills Against
Number of Well Known Res
idents There.

The Wayne county grand jury has
returned five, indictments against as
many well known citizens OF that
county in connection with the murder
of Clarence Nail, well known young
man, in the year of 1918. 1t will be
remembered that the young man was
in the act of removing a saddle from
his horse when he was shot from am
bush and died instantly.
A number of arrests have been
made in connection with the murder
but after investigations those who
have been accused have been liner
ated The authorities have not let up
and facts gathered and presented be-
fore the grand jury brought true bills
against Irwin Harrison, Geoge Harri-
son, Shade Manning, Sims Manning
and Ira Manning. The latter worked
in law office here and was taking a
course for admittance to the bar.
Others indicted are prominent. All
have been arrested and are now in the
Wayne county Jail except Sims Man
ming, who did not happen to be in
Wayne county when the indictments
were returned. Attorney burden, of
this city, representing the Nail fam
lily, is assisting in the prosecution
and other local attorneys will be in
terested in the sensational trials.

The coDored Voter.

The CoBored Voter.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the colored voters and citizens gen
orally as they stood by what they
thought to be the best movement in
the history of their city and county.
1t is doubtful if a single member of
the race cast a ballot against highway
bonds. This is not the first time that
the colored people of this city and
county have demonstrated that they
can think and act for themselves.
They, like the other race, realized the
fact that something must be done y
There was general jollification in
all parts of the city last night when
the result was announced and many
people who have been active in con-
tributing to the success of yesterday,
were visited by a party of merry-mak-
ers, headed by Constant Miller. The
party was noisy but with that Arco
bugle corps and the merry tones of
the hurrahs, it was really music.
Don't say anything except praise for
Arco and for Mr.. Heaton.
Rubbing 1t In.
But some OF the strongest oppon-
ents of the bonds were not forgotten
by the merry set. Several who saw
disaster confronting a community
which would vote for bonds, were Wis
tied and while all was good natured
they had to be the subject of the gen.
eral rub it in.''
The City Ballot Box.
A surprising feature of the day was
the very few who expressed them
selves against bonds in the city
box" Only 13, and every one of
them will be sorry in the end. Many
of the female voters who had not quail
ified in the county, voted their first
time in the city and they all Went
right.
A New Brunswick.
The result of yesterdays election
means a New Brunswick and it will
not be long In coming. There will be
activity in quarters never expected
to be heard from and thece will be
general feeling that the average
Brunswickian has faith in his city
and his county.
II was a great victory for progress
and death blow to old foggyism.

'ANTI-BEER BILL
PASSES SENATE
CampbeII-Willis Measure Prohib-
ting Beverage as Medicine
O. KID SO to 20.
SEVERAL CHANGES
Amendment Makes Dry Officers Who
Make Searches and Seizures With
out Warrants Liable to Fine
and Imprisonment.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The Camp
belf- Wills anti-beer bill prohibiting the
prescription of beer as medicine and
Exposing rigid restrictions on the use
Of other intoxicating liquors for me-
dicinal purposes, was passed by the
senate The vote was 80 to 20.
The bin was passed with an amend
ment making prohibition officers who
make searches and seizures without
warrants liable to fine and imprison
ment. 1t also makes it a felony for
persons posing as prohibition officers
to subject a citizen to indignities "
a deprivation of his constitutional
rights under the pretense of enforcing
the dry law. The anti-beer bin already
has passed the house.
Discussion of the bill provoked an
other intense fight. The issue was
supplied by the Reed amendment
which makes prohibition officers who
violate the rights of private citizens
in enforcing the "dry" law punishable
by heavy fines and Imprisonment.
Charging that "dry" officers all over
the country We're exceeding their au-
thority and making searches and seiz-
ures without warrant, Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, Republican floor
leader demanded the adoption of the
amenGment as protection against
the continuation of the practice.
Senator Williams, Democrat of Mis-
sissippI, expressed the opinion that
citizen who was molested by prohibit
lion officers and his valise ransacked
in search of liquor would be justified
in knocking the officer down."
IF he wasn't able to knock him
down, think he would be justified In
shooting him." the senator added.
"There must be protection from this
tyranny"
The "antics' of the enforcement of
ficers, Senator Stanley, Democrat, of
Kentucky, declared, would make the
angels in heaven weep" 1t is Gus
tomary, he declared, for men and
women to be waylald in the highways
and searched and subjected to other
indignIties by these men whose
ubiquitous noses," he added ''con-
stantly smell the scent OF liquor"
Fuel was heaped on the flames by
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, who
declared that the enforcement agents
had utterly disregarded the rights Of
private citizens" in trying to enforce
the dry law.
'sThey have invaded homes, abused
persons and committed other acts that
would only be justified by the Anti
Saloon league" the senator declared.
There is no question but something
ought to be done to punish these men
who refuse to respect the rights of
individuals"
