WILL NOT MIX IN
Washington Gets Idea Unions
After Federal Control.
President Leaves Wage War in
Hands of Wage Board.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Efforts 10 win
support OF government officials and
congressman today brought from each
side in the railroad controversy
charges of sinister motives against
the other
Representatives OF the railroad
unions charged the managers with try
ing to break all the labor organiza-
tions except the four big brother
hoods. And the managers said the
men were trying to bring about fed
eraI control.
Behind the plea of the managers
to the railroad labor board to abro-
gate the national agreements, lies the
wish to break all the unions except
the four big brotherhoods," said Will
liam H. Johnston, head of the Ma
chinists.
There are ten unions besides the
brotherhoods, most of which gained
their greatest strength during the
period of federal control. All of them
are affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor.
Supporting their charge that the
unions want federal control, Repre-
sentatives of the management point
out that most of the union leaders
We're either members or officers of
the Plumb Plan league. Johnston is
affiliated with the league and is an
open advocate of government control.
While these efforts to win officials
and congressional support were being
carried on, there We're indications that
the present administration and present
congress would leave their hands off
the present railroad situation, unless it
threatened a strike and tieup of
transportation, in which case federal
control would come.
President Wilson, who has received
several kilograms from the unions and
managers, is confident that the rail-
road labor board will handle the situa-
ton, 1t was learned today.
A railroad investigation has been
discussed also among congressman and
senators inclinedtto be friendly to the
rail unions, but it was tentatively de-
cided that the time was not ripe for
such move

EARLY SPRING WEATHER
Tcmpcratures in January More
Like Those of April-Last Month
Was Mildest, Except One, in
History of Kansas.
(Bx S. D. Flora. Meteorologist.l

This was the mildeSt January, eX-
cept one, in the history of Kansas,
with temperatures that came nearer
being like those of early spring than
mid winter. according to the reports
of 124 stations of the weather bureau,
which cover daily conditions in every
county. There were no record break
ing warm days. but the mercury
climbed above normal almost every aft
ernoon and was scarcely below freez-
ing on a great many nights. There
were no cold waves or sudden drops in
temperature. The highest recorded
was 76 degrees ON the 18th at Medi-
cine Lodge and the lowest was l de-
gree below zero at johnson, near the
southwest corner of the state, on the
18th, making it the second time on
record that January has passed with
out a temperature several degrees be-
low zero in some county.
The abnormally high temperatures
were accompanied by excessive cloud
mess and fewer clear days than the
state has experienced this time of the
year since 1909.
Nearly all the months moisture fell
the last three weeks, but was album
dant for every need. The precipita-
tion--rain and melted sleet and snow
over the eastern third averaged 1.53
inches; the middle third, 0.89 inch !;
the western third, OF inch; and for
the entire state, LIP inches. or O.37
inch above normal and -FOUR tunes as
much as fell in January last year. 1t
was we'll distributed thru the differ
ent counties. The greatest amount
was 3.35 inches at Sedan and the least
oil Inch at Jetmore. The heaviest
24-hour downpour was 1.3S inches at
Tribune, near the Colorado line, on
the Gath.
In the eastern third the only snow
of consequence fell on the 18th, to-
falling from 8 to 10 inches. AS the
ground beneath was unfrozen, it melt
ed rapidly and soaked into the soil.
Comparatively few Of the central
counties received enough snow to
measure, but those in the extreme
western end of the state had from 1
to inches, which disappeared almost
as fast as it fell
The mild weather and abundant
moisture were fine for wheat, except
in the central and southwest counties,
where some was blown out before the
rains came. At the close of the month
the crop was reported as good to ex-
cellent in almost all parts and green
ing up in the southern counties. where
temperatures had been so high buds
of peaches. apricots, cherries and
early apples were forced dangerously
ahead of the season.

PROGRESS IN MOTOR TRUCKS.
Marked Progress in Transportation.
White Company Reports.

The last year has been one of
marked progress in'the field of mo-
tor transportation.
Like the substitute who. in fiction,
jumps from the obscurity of the
bench to the spotlight of the playing
field in the tensest moment of the big
game. the motor truck was given a
decided impetus as a carrier during
the year when the strike of railroad
yardmen threatened to strangle indus
try by choking its transportation ar
teries. Motor transports demonstrate
ed most convincingly their supremacy
up to $50 miles, with the reserve en-
durance to accomplish several-thou-
sand-mile trips in emergencies.
The impetus thus given highway
transportation is reflected in the
White company's annual tabulation of
owners whose White trucks have gone
100000 miles and more in work-a-day
service. The 1920 list shows 533
Whites have travelled 100000 miles
and are still going; 106 have exceeded
10000 miles, "a are somewhere on
the 00.000-300. 000-mile lap, while %
trucks have forged well beyond the
800. 000-mile mark. The figures in
each group are approximately double
those revealed by the 1919 tabulation.

DIVERS SEARCH River
FOR MISSING AVIATOR
(By Associated PreSs)

POUGHKEEPSIE n. Y, June %
Divers today began an investigation
about three miles north of here that
was expected to throw light on the
mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of Captain Mansell r. James,
British ace, who disappeared with his
airplane on May %. 1919.
Fishermen's nets dropped in the
river yesterday caught on some object
at the bottom of the stream and sew
sral attempts to bring it to the sur
face failed. The fishermen agreed
that the length of the thing indicated
it was an airplane. 1t was immediate
ly recalled that a telegraph operator
at Highland declared he had seen an
airplane plunge into the river on the
day Captain James took his Inflated
flight from Lee, Mass
Captain James. after his flight from
Atlantic City to Boston on May %
1919, which won him the Pulitzer
trophy, started to return. He lost his
course and came down at Lee. Mass
The next morning he again took flight
and was never heard of since.
