Washington. August 2z-The admin istration's railroad funding bill was passed tonight by the house. The measure now goes to the senate.
 The vote was 214 to 12S. It is not the present intention of the senate to take up the bill before the recess.
 An unsuccessful effort was made to eliminate a section which provides that no payments shall be made by the government to any carriers lon ac- count of the so-called inefficiency of labor during federal control. An amendment to strike out this provi- sion. offered by Representative Web ster, republican member of the com merce committee, which had favorable reported the bill. was rejected, 145 to r.
 Another provision of the Section that MT. Webster failed to have stricken out stipulates that no funds shall be used in making settlements with car riers which do not forever bar such
 carriers from setting up any further l claim, right or demand of any kind or character against the United States growing out of, or connected with the possession, use, or opera tion of such carriers property by the United States during the period of federal coh troll"

GOMPERs' VIEWS ON THE
 UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION

Atlantic City, \. J., Aug. 2. - The present unemployment situation is an economic crime that is rs5u'tlng n a loss of S27 7,500, ,00O day i1 wages to the workers of the count"-, President Samuel Gompers declared ton'eh-, fol- lowing a session of the executive codG- ci. of the American Federation of i-a- bor, at which present unemployment con- ditions were discussed.
 Wage reductions will not relieve the situation, the veteran 'ab)r chef said, adding that such action will further cur taiai our domestic purchasing power, and more factories will close because the people haven't the money 10 Duy their products.
 'Ths present depreSfoE." he added, will become even more aCUfa and the reductions, if they can be forced upon us. will not only prove a boomerang 70 The employers, but q menace to our ecoA' omic, financial and political future
 "In all this talk about readjust- ment and reconstruction, why it is that the pressure is always brought t) Lear upon those whose standards of If. ana every day existence would be 1emorai- ized and deteriorated by a reduction in wages and why this Grive D reduce their wages first? The ralk an1 file cannot understand how redd1ustmen- and reconstrC ction can msln oniy -e- duction of their wages.
 T have been asked who among tfe capitalists has suggested reduction in the rate of interest on a loan or a re duction of profits, or even a simultane- ous reduction of wages and profits.
 The cost of living has not come down. Instead, with prohteering un- checked and unrestricted. it is going up,
 of the homes in the United States were built before the war but the exorbitant rents gurged out of the tenants by the profteering and unscruDulous landlords Is blamed on the high cost of labor dur in- the war"
 The council had before it proposal To call unon congress to take Steps to relieve the present sitda.i"r by leeis- atiou and making am opriatipns that would aid in speeding up public work. Action on this probably will be taken later this week
