of Robert p. Brindel. under sentence
Of from five to ten years in Sing
Sing for using his authority as Presi-
dent OF the Building Trades Council
for extortbon for certificate of rea-

evidence as to ten transactions other

HARDING CABINET
DISCUSSES HELP
FOR RAILROADS
President Believes Matter
Should Be Taken UP by Con-
greSS in Special Session.

WASHINGTON. March 29.-Gov-
ernment aid in rehabilitation OF tho
railroads was discussed at the Cab
met meeting to-day. Very deep con-
Germ was expressed over tho sitlIa-
tion and belief was general in the
meeting that tho Government should
do something To aid the roads,
1t was announced that President
Harding will shortly call into con-
ference tho chairman OF the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and the
head of the Railroad Labor Board TO
discuss this situation. No specific
plan was decided upon. IT WAS said.
1t was inumsted that announce
ment Of policy in this regard may he
made at the Office OF the Secretary
Of Commerce very shortly The
President is understood to hold that
the railroad situation is of such a
serious nature that 1t must be taken
I'D by Congress soon after the con-
vening special session on April IL,
The railroad problem has two
phases, the President is said 20 he
leve. First the railroads are operat-
ing under a deficit OF 500 100000, and
second, the rates are too high.
Freight rates were said TO have
been particularly under consideration
by the Cabinet, although the suGges-
ticn was made that present passenger
rates might be- 80 high as 70 restrict
travel and actually curtail railroad
earnings
The President ana his advisors IN
approaching the railroad problem
took into account its possible relation
to tarif legislation and conditions
arising from the fact that under the
present tariff schedules railroad rates
make delivery OF American agr1cul-
tural products in some OF the home
commercial centres more expensive
than costs OF their importation from
| abroad.
