RAIL PAYMENT
PLAN PASSED

Washington, Feb. S.-Brought up
under a rule giving it privileged status.
the Winslow bill authorizing partial
payments to railroads under the guar
anty section of the transportation act
passed Tuesday by the house.
The bill was defeated Monday when
voted on under the suspension Of the
rules, which required two thirds vote
on passage. Some Democrats who led
the fight against it then turned about
and supported it Tuesday after oppor-
tunity had been given for debate and
amendment.
Only ono amendment, designed to
protect the government against over
payment, was adopted.
Chairman Esch Of the interstate
commerce committee, which reported
the measure, said legislation was need
ed because the treasury had refused
to accept the ruling Of the interstate
commerce commission that about $780,
OOO,OOO due the carriers should be paid
now, as the law which he helped frame,
stipulated.

U.S.. SEEKS ASIA
BASE, SAYS RED

London, Feb. 8.-The Russian soviet
authorities were told by an American
millionaire that the United States
wanted Kamachatka as an Asiatic base
in case OF war between the United
States and Japan, according to an ut
terance made recently in speech by
Nikolai Lenine, the bolshevik prem
ier, concerning concessions, as quoted
in the Russian press review published
in Moscow.
Asserting that the proposed treaty
cOnceding Kamchatka is part Of q
scheme to utilize the bourgeoise capi-
tai to accelerate the country's indus
trial development, Lenine is quoted as
having said:
This millionaire said that II we
should give kamchatka to America he
would promise us such enthusiasm on
the part Of population Of the United
States that the American government
will Immediately recognize the soviet
governme ent in Russia"
But if, on the other hand, we only
lease it, the enthusiasm would be less.
He is on his way back to America to
report that the soviet government is
not half SO black as it has been paint
ed
NJ. Lenine said that the granting Of
concessions did not mean peace, but
an industrial war. He said it was like
ly that the concessionaires would not
conclude a treaty with the soviets. The
would be obliged to
submit to soviet laws. In the event
Of war, all property would revert to
the soviet under the rules of war.

BANKERS PLOT
. PAY CUT, CLAIM
Conspiracy in Wall St.
Is Exposed by
F. P. Walsh.

New York. Feb. Charges that the
attempt of the railroads to reduce
wages was part "of huge conspiracy
having its birth in Wall street." were
made Tuesday night by Frank P. Walsh,
chairman of the war labor board, be-
fore he left for Chicago to take charge
of the case of the railroads union in
the hearings before the railroad labor
board.
This is an attempt to drive back, to
pre-war conditions" he said, "and they
begin with the laborers on the rail-
roads. We hope to be allowed to show
that the large interests, all tied up in
interlocking directorates and controlled
by the important banking groups in
Wall Street, are back of the PROPOSE
tion. Already they have reduced the
working forces of the roads to the
point where there is lack of efficiency
and proper accommodations.
1T must be very clear that efforts
of the railroads to get back to pre-
war conditions are part of a nation
wide program engineered through the
chambers of commerce and like en-
ploying institutions. 1t must also be
very clear that this is not spontane-
ous movement. and that there must be
a main spring somewhere. That main
spring is the groups typified BY Judge
Gary and ]. p. Morgan.
There is a very real community of
interest here. We propose to show up,
among other things. this open shop
thing and bring it to a head and out
INTO the open. That is the work of the
railroad unions have taken upon them
selves to do"

LLOYD GEORGE DEFENDS COALITION GOVERNMENT:
DID MORE FOR IRISH THAN GLADSTONEANS AVEf
German Plot
Which Failed
nSinkSeized
ShipReuealed

New York, Feb. Shy the AS
sociated Press.)-A German war
plot that failed was revealed here
Tuesday.
Four defective bolts. taken from
the machinery Of the transport,
Mount Vernon, told the tale.
Here is the story:
After the Mount Vernon had been
seized as troop ship, her German
crew cut two thirds Of the way
through the four six-inch bolts that
connected the engines with the main
crank shaft. The skilfully made
cuts were only discovered recently
when the engines were taken apart.
1t is believed that the bolts were
left barely holding with the hope
that the craft would just creep out
into U-boat lanes and then fall prey
to the undersea craft, when a sud
den strain on the engines came with
an order for full speed ahead.
But the breakdown never came.
Luck or toughness of steel permitted
the liner to make a dozen round
trips through infested
seas carving on each voyage from
5000 to 1000 men. Just to round
things out, she encircled the globe,
to bring troops home from Russia.

Woman Stowaway
From German Port
Lands at Boston

Boston. Feb. S.-A woman stowaway
was brought to port here Tuesday
when the steamer Susquehanna docked.
The ships officers said there was a
suggestion of romance in the case be-
cause the woman and q man who also
slowed away, slipped aboard at Bre-
men. The couple would not admit
any knowledge Of the other, however.
The woman. Minna Probst, a Ger
man. about 25 years old, was found
mingling with passengers after the ship
was several days out. She secreted
herself originally in the coal bunkers,
it was thought. and came out when
she became hungry. The man. Julius
Franzak, a Russian Pole about the
same age, was found in one of the
bunkers.
The stowaways will be taken to
New York.
