WASHINGTON, March 10. Omitted
Press) President Harding's mes
sage 70 the coming extra session Of
Congress probably will advocate
steps toward relieving the critical
situation in which the railroads now
find themselves.
Dissatisfaction OF railroad en-
ployea with wage cuts. complaints
OF shippers at high rates and pleas
OF railroad managers. the many lines
are facing bankruptcy. all have
been brought TO Harding's attention
10 show that some move by the SOW
ernment Is most urgent
Though Harding Is unqualihediy
opposed to government ownership
or operation OF the roads. some OF
his advisers see no way out OF the
situation except through increased
government supervision. Whether
Harding will finally be persuaded 10
go beyond recommending financial
assistance Is doubtful at this tiue.
Revision OF the Cummins- -Esch act
is likely ultimately. but II is expected
that another congressional invcsti-
cation will be asked by Harding BE-
fore any decisive steps are taken.
Senator Cummins, Iowa, chairman
/ OF the Senate Interstate Commerce
/ Commission. has held several
lengthy conferences with President
4 Harding over the railroad situation
recently. and is understood TO be-
lieve that some relief is imperative.
High railroad officials laid their
case before Harding while he was al

roads are cutting wages 10 reduc,
these costs. but already vigorous pro
tests from labor leaders are bein,
heard in Washington.

that the Federal government can get

nue. laws affecting liquors that were
in effect before Volstead wrote his

law nullihes all previous liquor regu-
lations OF the Federal government.
The Federal government claims It
knocks out only those that are in
conflict, and Anti Saloon League has
rushed TO the governments aid in a
brief filed with the court in which
It claims that s2O.O0O.OOo in taxes
