FULL n CREW Bill up
Railroad Brotherhood Lobby
Here in Full Force.
Committee of House to Hear
Arguments Tonight.

The railroad brotherhood lobby is
here in force today in an effort to
secure a favorable report on the last
of a series of full crew bills. Three
measures giving way to demands of
the brotherhood have already been
killed by legislative committees. To-
night the house railroad committee
Will hear arguments on the Upper
bill limiting length of freight trains
to 40 cars.
Members of the railroad brother
hoods in Kansas are not demanding
thes bill at this time, according to
statements credited to members of the
labor lobby. However, the national
organization has asked for this .legis-
lation and it is being urged in the yari-
Gus states. The Upper bill is a rather
mild attempt at a full crew provision.
But the lobby pushing the measure
expectseto strengthen its provisions in
.srccee ding sessions.
Railroad representatives as well as
1aennbers of the brotherhood will ap-
peag befars tina house committee to-
night They will oppose the Lippeft
bin withs the argument that statutory
provisions for. increased train crews
mean increased expenses-and in
creased expenses mean increased rates

there was no information regarding
the French plans. 1t was known that
the nation was given permission by
the other allies to act on her own ini-
tiate in compelling the Germans to
meet the allied terms.
1t was also stated authoritatiyeIy
that complete plans for troop move
ments had been drawn up by Marsha |
Foch and submitted to British mill
tary leaders in London. These plans
points to be occupied and the extent
of the new invasion of German soil
In the last two months, France has
filled in her military organization by
calling up the current class and refus-
ing to demobilize the one which had
served its regular term. Colonial
troops were held in readiness for an
advance also.
Marshal Foch now is in London. 1t
is expected he will return to Paris
when an agreement has been reached
with the Germans. If the Germans
agree to pay the reparations demand
ed. the troops will be held at the
frontier ready for instant advance in
case the German payments are not
satisfactory.
In case Germany formally declines
to meet the demands, action probably
will be taken as soon as Foch can re
turn from London to assume personal
command of the forces.
French authorities stated every eff
fort is being made to avoid the use of
force. Everywhere, however, there ap-
peared to be full approval of the new
military activity. -

HURRY YANKS OUT

Plans Laid to Declare estate of
Peace With Germany"

Washington, March 1.--The appar-
ent approach OF a European crisis to-
day caused Republican leaders to
hasten their plans for a withdrawal of
the last vestige of American participa-
ton soon otter March 4.
With French troops and guns mov-
ing toward the German border. Ameri-
can troops on the Rhine are to be with
drawn very soon after the new admin
istration takes office. Developments
attendant upon the London conference
on German reparations have not
changed Republican plans to this ef-
feet. and it was indicated that the
move might be made earlier than here
tofore contemplated.
Also with the allies threatening to
occupy German territory plans for
bringing about a state of peace between
the United States and Germany. thru
passage of the Knox resolution. were
being projected in the senate. The
senate will continue in session after
March 4, and it will not be many days
thereafter before the Knox resolution
is passed, under present plans.
Americas attitude toward the new
developments in Europe will be almost
wholly the problem of the Harding
administration. It was pointed out.
since the Wilson administration could
do nothing in the short time. remain
ing. even if 1T wished to- .,.-
HardingS plans have already been
announced and it was stated authors
tatively today that developments now
apparent will not change them.
Among officials here today there
was greater interest in the Legue OF
Nations reply to the American note
dates than in the reparation confer
ence. altho it was agreed that the
: German proposals were too low and
the allies too high.

HEARING ON RATES
Railroads Present Case to In.
dustriaI Court.
Intent of Federal Charges Vio-
lated, Expert Says.

The iniquity of the man who buys a
ticket from central Kansas to Kansas
City, Kan, or to Argentine, when he
+; came under fire when w. J. Black,
general traffic manager of the Atchi-
son. Topeka & Santa Fe, was called as
the first witness for the railroads In
the hearing of the interstate commerce
tcommission on Kansas railroad rates.
which opened in the Industrial court
this morning.
Attorney Examiner w. A, Disque, of
the commission is conducting the
hearing with the passenger officials
of half the railroads in the state pres
ent. A. E. Helm, of the legal staff of
the state Industrial court. was the
spokesman for that organization.
To Defeat Intent of Rates.
The first half day of the testimony
was taken up by Blacks testimony,
which goes to show that the lower in
tra-state rate is used to defeat the
intent of the federal commission rates.
In the course of the argument the
railroad attorneys charged that the
state public utilities commission had
ordered the roads to construct sta
tions at the state lines, and to stop
passenger trains there long enough
that the passengers might repurchase
tickets there and escape paying the
higher interstate rates.
The law was afterward declared un-
! constitutional by the state supreme
court. and was never made effective.
but the railroads called attention to IL
in connection with what they regarded.
as the intent of the state public utili-
ties commission, now the state court
of industrial relations. to defeat the
n a rat Tho a w xUh ~
was in the form of a joint resolution
of the house and senate, was passed
at the session of 1915.
To Break Interstate Rate.
Black declared that the effect Oh
| the lower rates within the state, ana
the seizure of the opportunity to beat
the higher rates, would result in the
breaking down of the interstate rate
which has been established by the fed
eraf regulatory body.
| Black also charged that the com
| mission, the newspapers, and in some
cases. the agents of the roads them
selves, were teaching the public how
| to buy their tickets to the state line
/ and then. by tricking the conductors
or otherwise. get to their destination
| in another state without paying the
| interstate fare.
The hearing looks like a long one
| since there are several other phases
of the question which have not, yer
been touched upon. The freighl
question will cause moro discussion
and provoke the submission of more
statistics than will the passenger rates
and Judge Helm has just returned
| from a conference in Washington
which has been framing argument:
against the regulation by the inter
state commerce commission, which, L
, is probable will be introduced in tn,
course of the argument.
