Willard and Thorn Oppose Repeal
of Provisions of Transportation Act

Daniel Willard. president of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and
Alfred p Thorn. counsel for the Ma
tional Association of Railway Execu-
tives, appeared today before the Sem
ate interstate commerce committee in
opposition to pending legislation de-
signed to repeal provisions of the
curtail rate-making authority of
state commissions.
The proposed legislation. Mr.. Will
lard said, would lead to absolute
failure Of the transportation act
which he commended as important
constructive legislation. which has
not vet been given a fair trial.
, Mr.. Willard said the only alterna-
tive to the transportation act was
government ownership. The pending
bills, he added, would prevent the
railroads from securing sufficient
funds to provide facilities of trans
portation demanded by the public.

JENNA GOLDMAN SILENT
ABOUT WISH TO RETURN
Mother and Sisters Have Just Re-
ceived Letter From Expatriated
American Agitator.

ROCHESTER,. N. Y. December 12.-
Emma Goldmap's mother and sisters
said at their home here that they
had received a letter from her two
days ago. Miss Goldman said moth
ing about making an attempt to re-
turn to America. The letter. written
in Moscow, said that she had made
application to the supreme commits
sion Of the soviet government for a
passport to Germany to attend a
congress- on public health.
They were not surprised. however
that Miss Goldman had decided to
leave Russia. The extremely cen
taIized government Of that country
ran counter to her long held beilet
that there was too much government
everywhere. They believed she was
anxious to return to America, but did
mot believe she would do so by COM
promising any of her views.

The best feature of the new system"
says Elliott Woods, "is that we can
tell every day just where we. stand.
We can see just how far we have
fallen behind or just how much we
have come out ahead. AS fast as we
can show a profit it is absorbed by
giving more food to an order or in
improving the service. We don't
want9o make any money. but to give
the members of Congress satisfactory
service and good things to eat"
Serious consideration has been
given to the proposal to make the
restaurant in the House office build
ing cafeteria. Mr.. Woods says that
this is not now likely to be done, al
though arrangements may be made
for a part-cafeteria feature.
So, it's because. they are well fed
and pleased with the service that
members of the House are so genial
and happily working these days.
