SMALLER RAILROAD
HEADS MEET HERE
Short Line Association Starts
Two-Day Session at New
Willard.

Despite that fact that railroads
have been the object of unfair
attack and mistreatment" in nearly
every country in the world. and
although this condition is worse
in this country than in any other,
the railroads are an important fac
tor in modern civilization, was the
declaration made by Bird NJ. Rob
inson, president of the American
Short Line Railroad Association, at
the opening of the two-day session
at the New willard yesterday.
Representatives from more than
$50 separate transportation corpora
tions, out of about 500 corpora
tions in the country, are in at
tendance.
President Robinson pointed cut
that the short line railroads have
suffered during the past several
years owing to the unusual condi-
tions which have arisen.
Chauncey NJ. Depew delivered a
brief address in which he lauded the
railroads for loyalty and expressed
the opinion that the future would
reward these actions.
Formal addresses have been
stricken from the convention
program to give way for the untang-
ling of laws enacted by Congress
and State legislatures. the rules OF
national and State regulating bodies
the demands of labor. and the effects
OF Federal control of railroads.

WOULD ABANDON
SCHOOL POWERS
District Supreme Court Asks
Relief from Duty of Ap-
pOintments.


The District Supreme Court petit
toned Congress yesterday to re-
lieve it OF the responsibility for the
appointment Of members to the Dis
trict Board of Education. The Pc
tition gave no reasons for request
ing the change.
The power of school board ap-
pointments has been vested in the
District Supreme Court since the
reorganization of the school system
In 1905, before which appointments
had been made by the District Com
missioners. That II was unusual
for court to appoint members OF
a school board was evidenced by
the Senate during the Thurston-
Van Schaick controversy last year
when Senators expressed surprise
when they learned of the system.
II Congress accedes to the Dis
triet Supreme Courts request, ap-
pointments to the board will be
made either by the President with
the approval of the Senate, by the
District Commissioners or by city
election.
