from such an angle that the star
rooter for Institute had about three
yards OF the space between the up
rights to kick at. Two other attempts

Not substitution was made by

La TOILETTE SAYS
RAILROADS HAVE
INVITED TIE-UP
Makes Bitter Attack on
Esch- -Cummins
Road Law.

The real reason for the present
blight Of tire railroads Is their ille-
gal and dishonest expenditure of
money for maintenance and the pro-
hibitive rates which have stalled
Sraffic." This assertion was made
1ast night by Senator LeFollette, Of
WISCONSIN. in an address before a
toint conference Of the Peoples Re-
constructive League at the Lafayette
Hotel.
Bitterly attacking the workings of
the cummins-Esch law which he at
tributedZ to railroad authorship,
Senator LaFollette declared that the
transportation system Of the country
had broken down completely as a
result Of its provisions.
Having dictated the terms of the
|Esch-Cummins law" he asserted.
and having failed completely TO put
the transportation system on a sound
basis under its operation, the rail-
roads are again here in Washington
preparing to make another raid on

System at Fault.
Proclaiming that there is a per-
sistent propaganda afoot ts coerce
Congress into making further SON
cessions to the railroads." Senator
LaFollette argued that any Difficult
ties which the carriers are now in
was due to misfeasance before xoy-
ernment control and to "artiicial
and malicious obstructions by men
In high railroad places to make the
system fail"
The time will come" he said.
when the truth will be known
about the sabotage they practiced
upon their own property in order
10 discredit the operation of the
administration.
I have read hundreds of affida-
wits of men who were employed ON
the railroads who stated under oath
that they were ordered and re-
CURED to execute orders which
blockaded the transportation, or
ders which undermined and re-
tarded the work, orders which de-
stroyed material"
Says Low Wages, Aim.
He charged that the disruption
of the railroad brotherhoods was
now being sought by railroad man
ayers and that the railroad COM
panies' at the present time are
centering their efforts upon the de-
struetion Of the nationSi organiza-
tions of their employees in order that
they may reduce wages"
Mismanagement and not high
wages are responsible for the pres
ent condition of the railroads he
asserted,
Following a series of addresses
by farmer and labor leaders the
conference voted yesterday after
noon to draw up a bill of "imme-
diate demands" which will be pre-
sented to the House and Senate
leaders today on the adjournment

Would Reimburse Employees
Who Paid Back Money
To Treasury.

Representative Moores, of Indi-
ana. yesterday reintroduceds his bill
which was not reached in the last
Congress-denying the right of rs
cal officers of the government to
annuities or salary, properly pay
able under the law to government
employees who have been retired
and were then re-employed In the
government service.
The necessity for the measure
arose from the fact that in a num-
Der of instances government emp
ployes who had reached retirement
age and had been retired under the
terms OF the Civil Service retire
ment act. were later re-employed
because their positions could not
be filled.
The Comptroller of the Currency.
in a ruling, held that these re-
employments were unlawful and
that the employees were not en-
titled, under the law, to compen-
sation for such work. He directed
that employees should reimburse the
government for all money thus re-
ceived, and that where II could
not be collected. II should be held
out from retirement annuities.

tired employees for money refunded
