Cabinet Discusses Rail
Bill; Meyer Asks Action
Wnr Finance Corporation Head
Declares That Employment
of Million Men Is Mt Stake

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The rail-
road settlement bill, upon which action
by the Senate will probably be deferred
until next fall, was under considera-
ton to-day both in tho Presidents
meetings with his Cabinet and with
leaders of both houses of Congress and
before the Senate Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The President, highly desirous of
early action on the bill, brought out
at the Cabinet meeting that apparent
ly there was some Misunderstanding
both among members of that body and
the general public as to the exact ma
ture of the proposed settlement of &C
counts between the government and
the railroads.
1t was announced some time ago that
the Railroad Labor Board would not
adjudicate claims where the roads
claimed losses incurred by inefficient
labor during the war. After series
of conferences between the President
and labor representatives. and cxecu-
tives of the roads, it was agreed that
the roads should submit claims that
did not include inefficient labor. The
Administration stipulated that in case
the roads were dissatisfied with such
an award they were at liberty to take
the question to the courts for settle
ment The President learned that
many people harbor the impression
that the roads were to 90 to the courts

Submission of Briefs
Ordered in City Bus Suit
Injunction Also Is Sought
Against Rockaway Auto

Counsel John P. O'Brien, in behalf
of the City of New York, and Alfred
T. Davidson, for the Third Avenue
Railway Company, were ordered by
Justice Francis Martin in the Supreme
Court, Bronx County, yesterday, to ex-
change briefs within a week in the
case wherein the company asks an in
junction restraining the city from OPP
Grating bus lines in the Bronx The
line now being operated, which par
allels the jerome Avenue street rail-
way line, is particularly aimed at.
Justice Martin granted the parties to
the suit an additional week in which
to submit their briefs to him. In or
dering submission of the briefs Jus
tice Martin said that the case resolved
itself into a simple question of whether
the city has the right to operate the
bus line in question.
An order was signed by Justice Gam
non. in the Brooklyn Supreme Court.
yesterday, calling on Mayor Hylan to
show cause next Wednesday why an
order should not be issued compelling
dlscontinuance of service by the Rock
away Auto Bus Company. The buses
are routed between Rockaway Park.
Neponsit and Belle Harbor, Queens.
The order was sought by John c..
Judge, an attorney, who is spending
the summer at Rockaway.
Mr.. Judge said the bus company had
been organized as a sightseeing con-
Germ but that it had developed into a
transportation line without a permit.
Mr.. Judges interest in the matter was
said to be entirely personal.

the Altoona shops came to an in
dependent working agreement some
weeks ago and will, therefore, be un-
affected by the strike, should one be
called.
The second factor is the large guam
tity of rolling stock in good condition,
which the railroad claims to have as q
reserve.
The third factor is the men which
the railroad is counting upon to re-
main at work in the various other
shops in spite of orders from the
federation.
On the other hand, the unionized
forces, through H. S. Jeffery, their
local spokesman. have made it clear
that they will give the railroad until
midnight Wednesday to come to some
agreement or they will call their men
out.
IF our demands are not met" said
Mr.. Jetfery to-day, 1--WE can effect q
complete tie-up Of the railroad.
"Cessation Ct work by the employees
az this time would be disastrous and
impose many hardships upon multi
tudes of people, but if it must be done,
then we'll and good; and it will serve
one good purpose at least-namely, it
will advance government control and
operation of the railroads."

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.-The Penn

Grafton of Labor appear deadlocked to-
night over the question of employees
committees to discuss working agree
mcnts with the railway, and Wednes-
day is being discussed for beginning
OF strike Of the systems $4,000 shop
men.
Thus far the railroad has made no
move toward complying with an order
of the Railroad Labor Board for a con-
ference of the railroad and shopmen
by August 10 to arrange a plan for
the election of the committees. 1t was
understood tho railroad intended tc
take no action.
The directors of the Pennsylvania
were in session all afternoon. 1t is
known that policies to be followed in
handling the threatened strike were
considered at the conference in great
detail.
While both sides were busy to-day
the United States Railroad Labor
Board in Chicago ordering secret
ballot of employees to select com
mittee for negotiating working agree
ments with the road officials.
In spite of the fact that officials of
the railroad would make no direct
comment on the outcome of the direc-
tors meeting, it is known that plans
have been made to prevent the cessa-
ton of either passenger or freight
traffic in the event of a strike.
A large number of new men were
taken on at the Altoona shops to-day.
1t was said unofiicially tonight that
the railroad regards as significant the
ease with which these men were en-
ploycd. Not only was it possible to
find them in sufficient quantities it was
said, but they were willing to come in
under present working conditions.
If a strike actually is called, the
Pennsylvania system is relying upon
three factors to keep it's lines open.

Curb ON Grain
ChangeCan1in.ea 9:
bill Against Unrestricted
. Speculation in Foodsiuffs
Calls for Federal Public
ity ON All Transactions
Punishment, Suspension
Accepted in Amended Form
by Chicago Trade Board;
Plan Goes to Conference

WASHINGTON. Aug 9.-The Senate
To-day passed the Capper- Tincher bill
to prevent gambling on grain ex-
changes. The action took less than
two hours, most of which was devoted
TO speech by Senator Capper, Re
publican, Of Kansas. The bill now
goes to conference.
AS is passed the House. the meas
ure imposed a prohibitive tax upon
puts and calls and other speculative
transactions and also upon exchanges
which do not become contract mar
kets" under government supervision
It also admitted cooperative associa-
tons to membership upon exchanges
The principal Senate amendments
propose to modify the records which
members and exchanges must make of
the Secretary of Agriculture, to sus-
rend members under certain condi-
tions, provide for government pub
Ecity of Investigations conducted and
Business transacted, permit co0pera-
tive associations to rebate commits
sions and release sales of cash grain
for deferred shipment from the opera
tion of the act.
Senator Dial, Democrat, Of South
Carolina, did not press as an amend
fnent his bill to regulate trading in
cotton futures trading. He held that
the Senate Agriculture Committee in
tended to give it special consideration
In statement issued after the pass
age of the bill, Joseph P Griffin, pres
ident of the Chicago Board of Trade
said that while the legislation was not
considered necessary, in view of public
sentiment for the regulatory measure
the grain exchanges would "bow to the
great force of public opinion" He
added that the Senate amendments had
removed from the bill "many unfair
and burdensome conditions"
Senator Capper argued that gam
bling constitutes great part of all
business transacted on grain exchanges
He demanded that producers of food
"the victims of speculation" be pro-
tected from arbitrary interference by
the exchanges with the economic law
of supply and demand.
The bill. while aimed at gambling
would not curb unlimited "hedging" by
elevator companies, exporters, millers
and other grain manufacturers, Sena-
tor Capper explained, but it would pre-
vent promiscuous and unrestricted
speculation in foodstuffs, dissemina.
ton of false crop information and ar.
bitrary interference with the law OF
supply and demand. The bill does not
regulate transactions in cash grain.

Americans Freed
From Moscow .yails
Start for Border
Red Cross ReportsC. r. Crane
and Relief Associates at
Reval; Soviet Russia Tells
Of Battle With Famine

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The State
Department was informed to-day by its
representatives at Riga and Reval that
Americans who have been incarcerated
at Moscow were on the way to the
frontier yesterday. They were expected
to arrive at Jauberg this evening.
RIGA. Aug. 9 (By The Associated
Press).-A message received here to-
day by the American Red Cross from
Reval, Esthonia, says that Charles R.
Crane, former United States Minister
to China, and four associates arrived
at Reval last night on their way from
China to the United States.
The report received at Reval last
night that six American prisoners were
due to arrive at Camburg, Esthonia,
to-day appears to be mistake, as the
message reporting Mr.. Cranes arrival
adds that no American prisoners are
expected to come out of Russia by that
route.
On the eve of the arrival of repre-
sentatives of the American Relief Ad-
ministraton and Soviet Russia to dis
cuss American relief plans, the Soviet
government to-day issued statistics
tending to show greater effort to COM
bat hunger than in other famine years
According to these statistics, Soviet
relief is progressing we'll, and claims
are made that it is possible, with linn
tied facilities, to transport food. From
June &c to July 20, it is claimed, $4,000
peasants, who have been forced to live
on grass, have officially migrated to
fruitful Siberia by the Moscow Kazan
Railway, while Al 900 already have been
Transported on the Volga River.
There are in operation 863 public
kitchens with capacity to feed
100000 persons daily, and ninety-six
special kitchens for children with a
capacity of 10000 daily, the report de-
clared, although naturally food sup
plies are not plentiful"
difficulties admittedly is a problem
confronting the American Relief Ad-
minstration.
The newspaper Izvestia to-day says
that newly formed autonomous repub-
lies, such as Azerbaijan, are refusing
to admit refugees being transported
by orders from Mosco ".
ROME, Aug. 9.-An invocation to
Divine Providence to hasten the end
of the tremendous scourge that is af-
flictng Russia is contained in the ap-
peal of Pope Benedict for aid for the
starving and plague-afflicted Russians,
made in his letter to Cardinal Gas
parri, the Papal Secretary of State, in
viting all Christians and civilized peo-
Piles to contribute generously to this
cause.
The Pope, in his letter. instructs
Cardinal Gasparri to lay the subject
before the governments Of the various
nations for their prompt and eff
cacious common action in the name of
the love of the Divine Redeemer, who
gave his blood to make US all broth
ers."
The Pope's letter implores aid for
the millions of men IN the basin of
the Volga, who are facing the most
terrible death, invoking succor from
humanity.
This people" the letter continues
although separated from US by bar
riers raised by long centuries, are, be-
cause of their calamity, near our pa
ternal hea It"

At his earlier conference President
oAVii'E NuNiScu ScudtOTS Lodge and
Curtis that he hoped Congress before
taking recess would finally dispose of
the important agricultural bills pend
ing, and pass joint resolution extend
INC the emergency tariff.
This was agreeable to the Senators
and on returning to the Capitol they
told colleagues that the farm export
financing bill would be completed and
sent to the President, that the resolu-
ton would be adopted to extend the
emergency tariff act until general tariff
revision takes effect, that the tax bill
would be passed by the House, sent to
the Senate and referred to the Finance
Committee, and then that the Senate
and probably the House would recess
for thirty days.
The Penrose bill relating to refund
ing of the foreign debt will not be
passed until fall. The President will
be satisfied if it is passed by November
Senators urged on the President that
time would be gained on the tariff bill
by recess. 1t was pointed out that if
a recess were taken the Finance Com
mlttee would be able to work steadily,
throughout the day, and would gain SO
per cent IN time in reporting the tariff
measure. Indications are the Senate
will defer action on the free tolls bill
until after the proposed recess. With
respect to the conference report on the
beer bill the friends of that measure
hope to dispose of it before either
House quits business.

Traders Foresee Slight
Effect on N. Y. Dealings
Bulk of Grain Business Here
Is for Export, Fe,c Brokers
Handling Puts and Calls

The Capper-Tincher anti-grain-gam-
bling bill, which was passed yesterday
by the Senate and now goes to con-
ference, will have some retarding effect
on trading on the New York Produce
Exchange, but it hits Western trade
boards much harder, officials and mem
bers of the New York exchange said
last night.
James Ward Warner, of 622 West
18th Street, said:
This bill will have little effect on
business in New York 1t is directed
at purely speculative dealings, which
-are more ordinary in Chicago and
other Western cities than here Out
there grain is bought and sold ire
spective of any intention to deliver the
product, whereas in New York the bulk
OF trading Is in export grain that is
actually shipped.
York who, now and then, in conjunction
with other trading, engage in the prac-
tice of puts and calls which is specif-
ically prohibited by this measure.
This branch of these mems activities
will be stopped, but they will not be
affected otherwise.
1"Grain men here are opposed to in
reference by Congress, but feel that
the bill as passed is far less drastic
than as first framed"
:. Peter J. Maloney, of 1877 Riverside
Drive, another member of the ex-
change, said that the bill would stop
big speculative deals in New York, bu.
would not check speculation entirely.
When the Capper-Tincher measure
vas introduced in Congress Walter B
Pollock, president OF the New York
Produce Exchange, put grain com
mittee in charge of presenting the OPP
position of the exchange to Congress
sional interference with trading. The
member5 of this committee were Yale
Kneeland, chairman: William II. Kemp
". c. Mott and A. c. Field.

the financial condition of the roads
enabled such a move.
81 think that the railroads. for their
OWL good, will want to reduce rates
eventually, but ample power is in the
hands of the Interstate Commerce
Commission now to do it," he said. 81
think this bill would accelerate the
restoration of business conditions and
mark the beginning of the real recon
struction.
This bill, together with the farm
export bill just passed by the Senate,
ought to mean the beginning Of the
end of the acute period which We in
all parts o. the country have had to
suffer FROM
He emphasized the fact the bill does
not contemplate any gift to the rail
roads. In response to u question by
Senator Townsend, Mr.. Meyer said he
thought there was an emergency neces-
stating this bill, as million men
were unemployed. Mr.. Meyer said that
confidence was big factor in improv-
ing the situation.
Urging prompt action, the Railway
dent Alba 3. Johnson. of Philadelphia,
sent the committee letter, which said
in part:
Urges Prompt Action
"Rather than contribute even a half
hour to Che delay the Railway Business
Association refrains from offering
testimony at your hearing appointed
for August and requests instead tnat
this letter be inserted in the record.
Eve urge: 1.-Prompt action. A
voluntary vacation for Congress with
out this enactment would mean an
involuntary vacation without pay for
hundreds of thousands of industrial
employees.
"2.-Separate action. We hope you
will exclude serious consideration OF
amendments not essentialS to clarity
the primary purpose of the bill. Con-
gress has no mandate of ascertained
public purpose to modify any es-
sential principle of the transportation
act of 1920. If discussion of general
amendments is desired it can be con-
Quoted most advantageous on it's
merits free from confusion with the
discharge of plain governmental OBJ
legation, so recognized by the Presi-
dent of the United States, the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, and the Direc-
tor General of the Railroads. If it
shall be proposed that Congress at
this time abandon it's established
policy in order to make railway rates
by statute instead of through an adj
ministrative tribunal created by it,
such reversal of Federal method and
practice requires in safety to the pub
lie a discussion so thorough that
postponment of Industrial resumption
through the debate is unthinkablc."
