tication is not only socialistic and de-
structive of fundamental law and the
traditions of this country, but it
means socialism in its worst form. for
it confiscates not all property but the
property of particular class in a
particular community. The next step
must be the extension of rent laws to
ohter states and other cities, and then
the extension of the principle of fix
ing prices by law for all forms of
property and all kinds of labor, for

tenth. The testimony before the
Senate committee shows that the only
way to reduce the housing shortage in
Washington is to build more houses.
And the only way to reduce rents is to
encourage competition. 1t is just as idle
to pretend that buildings will go up
and rents will come down by imposing
discriminatory burdens upon both as it
is to attempt the impossible feat Of
pulling ones self over the fence by the
straps Of ones boots. The continual
ton of a rent-fixing law in the Dis
trict Of Columbia will prevent just as
effectually all new building and thus
require far higher rents. as would

we have undertaken to present this brief
discussion of the rent act, and this re-
view of the testimony taken upon the
question of continuing the operation OF

There are two certain ways of end

first Is to compel those who are for war
to get into the trenches themselves and
have their own bodies disemboweled and
shot into tatters. The other is for the
people to absolutely refuse to go to war
unless they declare 1t themselves. In

SECRET RAIL MEETING
DENIED BY JOHNSON

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-Alba b. john
son. president OF the Railway Business
Association. tonight denied the meeting
of railway and industrial leaders in
Washington on December was secret
as charged by Senator La Toilette.
The meeting. Mr.. Johnson said. was
called by James A. Emery, counsel for
the National Association OF Manufac-
turers.
1t was decided at the meeting, Mr.
Johnson said, that railroad rates should
be reduced as fast as decreasing op-
Grating costs would permit that II
would be unwise for the farmers to
demand that control of intrastate rates
for car service be taken from the Inter
state Commerce Commission. and that
II was wise to recognize the desire OF
the farmers to terminate the clause in
the Esch-Cummins law, which fixed 5
to per cent. as the financial return
for the railroads.
Neither w. w. Atterbury vice-presi-
dent OF the Pennsylvania Railroad. nor

mentioned in Senator La Follette's

scribed as "a brief report of the action
Of the conference" held here December

betray not only the farmers but the
consuming and the producing millions
of the nation This report was made

"On December 8 a secret meeting
was held in Washington at which high
officials Of the railroads, the coal, steel
and lumber interests attempted to enlist
the farmers in an agreement whereby
all agitation by the farm interests fol-
repeal of Section 15A and for the res
toration of State-control over intrastate
rates should cease.
"The great special interests repre-
sented at this conference were success
full in obtaining the concent of certain
OF the farm representatives to such an
agreement.

by the special committee representing
the railway executives, of which Mr.
