washington May 22-Railroads

operating expenses If their credit and
financial stability are to be re-estab-
lished, a committee of the Chamber Of
Commerce of the United States which
has made a survey of the transporta-

statement.
Necessity of practicing strict econo-

out that "readjustment OF salaries and

have in the past, bear an equable rela-
tionship to wages paid in other activi-

The committee was of the opinion
that the grouping or consolidation of
railroads must ultimately be accepted
IT also declared that federal incorpora-
ton of railroads was highly desirable.
No additional legislation of the rail-
road question was, however, needed at
this time, the statement said, as 1t was
advisable to have further experience
with the transportation act Before at
tempting to modify it.

DAVIS URGED TO
PROBE ALABAMA
MINE CONDITIONS
American Civil Liberties Union
Charges Whole Power of
State Government Thrown
Against Strikers
BY Associated Press

Washington May 22-Secretary Davis
kas been urged by the American Civil
Liberties union to investigate conditions
in the Alabama coal fields. A letter from
the union to the secretary made public
today charges that the recent settlement
of the strike of the award of Governor
Kilhy as arbitrator, was gross injus-
tice to the miners and perpetuates con-
ditions which may break out any time
into open industrial conflict
1t also is charged that during the strike
civil rights were openly violated by the
governors orders. The appeal TO Secre-
tary Davis to intervene, officers of the
union said. was made on the ground that
1.-THE state authorities in Alabama have
done and will do nothing to imp; owe con-
dtions.
Among those who signed the letter were
Harry r Ward. chairman of the Civil
Liberties union: Albert De Silver, direc-
tor; Mary e. Mcdowell. of the stock
yards settlement, Chicago; John a. Fitch,
Of the New York School Of Social Work
James II Maurer president Of the Penn
sylvan,a State Federation of Labor, and
Oswald ,sri'tard of New York.
The letter to Mr.. Davis describing
conditions alleged to exist in the Ala
bama mining district said that during
the strike from September. 1920, to Feb
ruary, 1921 the whole power of the
state government was thrown against
the workers to crush their efforts to
obtain decent conditions and the right
Of organization.
CHANGE RIGHTS VIOLATED
The governor sent in II companies
of state militia under the command OF
the adjutant general of the state, who
dominated the district during the
strike" the letter stated. He forbade
public meetings and issued orders vio-
lating freely rights guaranteed by the
constitution.
.The strike was ended by an arbi-
trary and one-sided award on the part
of the governor, who disregarded alto
gether the claims of the miners and
regardless Of merit, rendered an award
favorable in every respect to the oper
ators. The decision settled no issue
whatever and the economic conflict
remains unchanged.
THE mining towns around Bir-
mingham are for the most part COM
pany-owned Workers cannot own
their own homes. even though they
might be in position to purchase
them. Some Of the villages are sur
rounded by high barbed wire fences and
guards prevent persons from leaving
or entering without permits.
"a spy system is maintained by the
employers to single out workers join
ing the miners union. and relentless
anti union blacklist has forced hum
dreds OF men into idlness and pauper-
lied thousands of innocent women and
children"
