had not paid. thus excluding hun
dreds who hat bought tickets.
The Boxing Commission met
shortly before noon, and after the
meeting Secretary Harry Burchell
said:
"ENor the crude manner in which
the exhibition was conducted the club

which the lights about the field and
the rotunda were extinguished.

Wants War Finance Corpora
ton Empowered to Buy Sc
curities of Roads, Probably
Up to 500 Millions.
To Do This Financing, Broader
Powers Must Be Given to
the Corporation, Says the
President.
Organization Could Then Ex-
tend Much Needed Further
Relief to Live Stock RaiSers
and Farmers.

WASHINGTON. July 2s.-President
Harding to-day asked Congress to
broaden the powers of the War
Finance Corporation SO that it could
give financial relief TO the railroads
and agriculture.
He made his request in a short
message addressed to the Senate and
House OF Representatives.
Mr.. Harding gave only the bare
outline of the plan he wants Congress
to approve. Details are to be given
out later by the railroad administra-
ton.
The President. however. made clear
these salient points Of his plan:
That the War Finance Corporation
be empowered to buy railway securi-
ties now held by the Director General.
probably up to 500 millions. so that
officials may have funds to settle with
the railroads without dipping into the
Treasury.
That the powers OF the corporation
be broadened so that 1t can extend
further relief to the live stock raiscrs
and farmers.
Mr.. Harding also revealed that to
hasten a settlement with the Govern
ment the railroads have consented to
waive their claims based on the asser-
ton that labor deprecated in value
the Government should pay for this.
The waiver. however, will not preju-
dice their rights II they should take
their claim to court.
The President then explained that
the Government owed the railroads
and the roads owed the Government,
and that settlements have already
been made of claims totalling $685.

The text OF President Harding's
message follows:
To the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives:
It Is necessary TO call the attention
OF Congress to the obligations of the
Government TO the railroads. and ask
your cooperation in order to enable
the Government to discharge these
obligations. There is nothing new
about them, but only recently has
there come an understanding which
seems well to Justify sincere en-
deavor to effect an early settlement.
These obliga tons already have been
recognized by the Congress, IN the
passage of the Transportation Act
restoring the railroads to their own
made in the contract under which the
railroads were operated by the Gov
ernment for the period OF the World
War
The contract covering operation
provided that the railways should be
returned to their owners in as good
condition as when taken over by the
Government and the Transportation
Act, recognizing that betterments and
additions belong to capital accounts,
provided that such funds as the rail-
way companies owe the Government
for betterments and new equipment,
added during the period Of Govern
ment operation. might be funded.
There has been at no time any
question about the justice of funding
such Indebtedness TO the Government.
Indeed. It has been in progress to
measurable degree ever since the
return Of the railroads to their own
err. IT has " limited h'~'v''' :.
