roads of the sums due them from the
government without awaiting final set
Elements. This is the bill offered by
Representative Winslow, of Massachu-
setts, in the House.
This bill, when in the House, raised
a controversy over the methods of
management of the roads. That was
before the wage difficulty became so
serious. Senator Townsend, acting
chairman Of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, in the absence
of Senator Cummins, wants to have
the partial payment bill considered,
and when it does come up it will open
wide the door to debate and airing
OF ideas on the wage controversy. 1t
was said to-day in Interstate Commerce
Committee circles that the bill would
afford opportunity for discussion of
the wage question and that such dis
cusslon was practically certain.
Senator Poindexter, to whom the
Brotherhoods recently sent a message
from Chicago, setting forth their side
o. the case and urging an inquiry, said
he was awaiting the action of the Rail-
way Labor Board. He said he had no
doubt the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee would go into the matter if the
Railway Labor Board did not settle it,
the committee being chiefly interested
IN the alleged wasteful management of
the roads and the charges made by
the Brotherhoods in this respect,

$50, 900, 900 Rail Pool
To Fight Unions CHARGED
Special Dispatch to The Tribu1

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The charge that
the railroads have pooled together in
the raising of $26,oO0,00O fund with
which to combat the organizations of
railroad employees is expected to be
made when the labor representatives
make their answer next week to the
plea of Brigadier General W. w. After
bury, vice-president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, for abrogation of the
national agreements. Information re-
garding the charge was obtained from
the men leading the fight for the en-
ployees. However, there was no state
ment which would indicate the evidence
of such fund.
F. F. Cradle, grand president of the
United Brotherhood or Maintenance of
Way Employees and Railroad Shop
men, said to-day he had heard that the
roads have a fund of $26,000,Q00 with
which to "break labor's back"
"In my belief it is true" said Mr.
Cradle. at is all part of great game
being played between capital and la
Dor, just like chess game.
"The executives meet every week in
New York, deciding what move shall be
made next, Simultaneously with the
open shop movement in this country is
movement in England along the same
lines.
''If the Labor Board grants the exec.
utive's demands / fully expect the men
to leave their work and go in search

Mr.. Parker declared the noIic,

that If the same materials were or

Pershing To Be Called
A discussion arose among the com

insisting that General Pershing be
summoned to answer criticisms. II
was finally agreed that Mr.. FLOOD

they are keeping up the debate and
using the tariff bill partly to kill off
other proposed Legislation and partly
to make speeches intended to convince
the country the Republican, party is
hitting at the consumer. If the tariff
bill is kept before the Senate until
the middle of February, it will prob
ably then be impossible to pass the
appropriation bills before March a. 1t

Will aggregate $3,500,000, 900. This is
about $1.250,o00000 under the estimates
of the Wilson Administration.
Some Republican leaders, including
Senator Penrose, expressed optimism
tonight that the tariff bill and the ap-
preparation bills would pass before
March a. Night sessions to pass the
appropriation bills are under considera-
ton. Others were not so hopeful,
Calder Coal Bill VIII Fail
That practically all general legisla-
ton apart from tariff and the appro-
priation bills will fail is expected. The
immigration bill will fail. The Calder
coal bill is not going to pass, and the
packers bill is. expected to fail. The
railroad debt bill may pass under pres
sure, but reapportionment, as already
indicated, is likely to fail.
One of the reasons why Mr. Harding
and leaders on the Appropriations Com
mlttee are anxious to have the appro-
priation bills passed before March A is
that If they are not the new Cabinet
heads viii either have to send to the
new Congress the Democratic estimates
now before this Congress or make UP
new estimates on the basis cf scant
knowledge. In other words, they would
have to pass on estimates before they
learned anything about their depart
ments.
Members of the House steering com
mittee said at the meeting to-day that
the House would be able to finish the
task of passing the appropriation bills
IN about week.

Another important increase is the
