PAYMENT At ONCE
Rail Heads Say Settlement of
Guarantee Immediately
Is imperative.

Many railroads are in precarious
situation financially and unable to pur-
chase supplies because increa sed rates
have failed to yield the revenues antici-
pated. The House commerce committee
was told late yesterday by group of
railway executives
They urged amendment OF the trans
portation act. SO as to allow the car
rers to get partial settlement for losses
suffered during the six months guarantee
period after government control ended.
The delega ton, which Included Daniel
Willard. president of the Baltimore and
syivania. told the committee tina: re-
lief must be granted Immediately if the
transportation system of the country is
to function effectivel,
Mr.. Willard said the Baltimore and
Ohio has practically stopped purchasing
supplies, because its officials don See
how they will be abe to pay for them.
The company at present. he added. is
not even earning interest on its invest
ment.
Mr.. Rea said the earnings of the
roads since they were granted higher
rates had not been as great as antici-
pated.
The railroads, the executives con-
tended, have been unable to file final
complete statements of their losses with
the Interstate Commerce Commission, as
required in order to obtain payment Of
the amount due them. because many
claims against the carriers have not
been filed and they are unable to de-
termine just what their complete losses
will be.

LABOR DELEGATE

MENICO CITY. January 15.-Dele-
American Federation of Labor met to-
day and determined to act speedily
on all reports submitted BY the reso-
lutions committee. select the city
where the next meeting will be held.
elect officers and conclude the deliber,
ations of the present session, which
began here last Monday.
1t seemed probable that Samuel
Gompers would be reelected presi-
dent of the federation. The choice OF
the next meeting place was said to
lie between Guatemala City and Car
tagena, Colombia.
The outstanding fact. in connection
with sessions of the congress, has
been the evident desire of Spanish j.
speaking delegates to receive official
assurances from American delegates
that the American Federation OF Labor
does not contemplate exercising doml-
nance over actions of smaller labor
bodies belonging to the pan American n
body. All fears apparently have been
put to rest.
Fear Of Domination.
Coupled with this fear of American n
domination came unvarnished as
sertions from Salwadorean. Santo Do
mingan and Colombian delegates that
the United States was pursuing an
inperialistic policy in its dealings
with Santo Domingo and Nicaragua.
This sentiment found voice in a long
resolution introduced by Jose Kun
hardt. Santo DOMINICAN delegate.
The resolution concluded by direct
ing the president OF the Pan -Ameri-
can Federation to send Immediately a
telegram to President Wilson. the
President of the United States Sen
ate and Speaker of the House Of Rep
resentatives. demanding immedAate
relief for the people of Santo Do
mingo."
Mr.. Gompers announced to- the con-
yention he was studying the wording
of such a telegram and. would proba-
bly, forward it some time today.
Although his remarks were stricken
from the records as being out OF or
der because they referred to motion
already adopted. Delegate Solana OF
Salvador. severely criticised the
United States for its Nicaraguan
policy and asked that a telegram De
sent President Wilson to inform him
that "the Stars and Stripes at this
very moment are floating Nover the
national palace at Managua."
At this juncture. Mr.. Gompers was
forced to warn radical spectators who
had applauded Solana. He told them
they would not be allowed to remain
IL they insisted upon either favorable
or hostile demonstrations. He added
Il was mot only his hope, but his
that conditions in Santo
Domingo would be speedily relieved
BY the United States government, and
that a, similar course would be iol-
lowed in Nicaragua"
