AMNESTY COMMITTEE
DEFINES ITS PURPOSE
Asks for Pardon Of Political Of
tenders and Not Wholesale
Release Of Prisoners.

The newly formed joint amnesty
of the American Civil Lib
critics Union has issued statement
Of Senator Joseph I. France of Mary
land. in which he said that the de-
mand for general amnesty does not
mean the wholesale release of pris-
oners from the federal institutions,
but that it's purpose is solely to Sc
cure the pardon of political offenders.
The demand for amnesty in the
United States," said Senator France,
has not been for a general amnesty
interpreted to mean the release of
great numbers of prisoners. 1t has
been for the pardon of political Of
tenders only-those convicted under
the espionage act and other war laws
of expressing opinions against the
war. This demand is expressed in a
pending Senate joint resolution, as
well as in numerous appeals to the
President to exercise his executive
power by issuing proclamation of
amnesty for these political prisoners.
Evening star., 1921-12-01

'.At the end of our own civil war
amnesty proclamations were issued
by PRESIDENT Lincoln and President
Johnson and all political prisoners
held in military custody were re-
leased; their rights of citizenship
were restored and the leaders OF the
rebellion. such as Gen. Lee and JEFF
ferson Davis. were allowed to go
free.
''The pardon Of similar offenders
has already been effected in the
principal nations with which our
country was associated during the
war"
With ellison Gardner as chairman.
the committee Is composed OF the
following:
Henry Mussey, Rev. John A. Ryan.
Mrs. Charles Edward Russell. Miss
Vivian Pierce, Alfred Klein. Walter
Liggett, Laurence Todd, Basil M.
Manly. Harry Slattery, Mrs. Robert

EARNINGS NOT YET
AT 6P. C LEVEL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Hope is
expressed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission in its annual re-
port yesterday to Congress that "a
substantially lower" level OF railroad
rates and fares will be possible with
an Improvement in the volume of
traffic following the present busi
ness depression and with a further
adjustment Of operating costs in har-
mony with prevailing tendencies"
Freight rates, following wartime
increases and some later readjust-
ments. have not yet reached an
equilibrium. the commission says,
because the chief factors controlling
them, the value of service and the
cost Of transportation" still are "in
state Of fux."
The commissioners report Is for
the year ended last October 81 II
discloses that a total OF s430 OOO. 900
has been ordered paid to the rail-
roads under the government guar
antee against losses during the first
six months after their return to pri-
vate ownership and that there still
is due an estimated sos, 600, 900 on
this account.
Out OF GIT carriers entitled to
guarantee payments, the commis-
sion says, SAT have filed claims. to-
falling S81S.OOO. 900, but payments OF
only 1886, 900 900 have been held

No statement was made with respect
to the difference between the roads

adds, are short lines and the total

points out, however, that this total
represented for the greatest part re-
funding operations, not involving
new and increased investment.
Discussing railroad earnings, the
commission says the carriers in
come and expenditures have reflect

the working forces by half a million
men, a lowering OF the cost OF ma
