expressed in communications received
by the War department from horse
breeders. Work formerly done by the
Department of Agriculture in connec-

proceedings of senate and house, and
the operations, investigations, inquiries
and conclusions OF their various com
mittees.
In the Sixty-sixth congress no less
than 1929 public bills and 4S1 joint
resolutions were introduced In the
legislative grist mill OF the house of
representatives. and more than 5000
in the senate, of which 401 OF the for
mer and 90 of the latter class be-
came laws, in addition to the 124 pri-
vate bills and resolutions which were
enacted. Not even congress itself is
able 10 visualize at a single sweep of
the eye a labor so vast in scope

licity, probably through the executive
departments, to keep the country in
formed, might be desirable. No single
newspaper can report adequately every
new act of congress and every inter
mediate step taken in the process of
converting the twenty-odd thousand
bills into the gve hundred-Odd laws
But il may be taken for granted with
safety that there is adequate presenta-
tiOn by certain of the newspapers of
every act and process of legislation of
special interest to their particular
constituencies.

WASHINGTON.-There is just
enough justice in the complaints
heard in Congress from time to time
OF the failure of the American press
adequately TO report Its proceedings
to justify them as a matter of alb
stract truth. That the newspapers do
not tell what is going on in congress
is a statement which cannot be sus-
tained; that the newspapers Go not
tell all that occurs at the capitol day
by day is a self-evident fact. Sub
stantially cross-section of the proc
esses Of legislation in the making is
presented to the country with every
rising sun, and there are fundamental
reasons why considerations of rela-
tiyity Of Importance must be borne in
mind. 1t is no longer possible for the

ONE AMERICAN
MAKES ESCAPE
Mexican Rebels Continue to Hold
Many Men Captive After Raid ON
Oil Works.

Mexico City, June 28.--A Bruce
Bielaski, the American Kidnapped by
Mexicans, escaped without the ransom
his captors demanded having been
paid, according to information reach
ing here from Cuernavaca, where Mr..
Bielash arrived this evening.
Washington, June 2S.--What may
have happened to 40 American EN-.
ployes of the Corttes Oil company
captured by rebels near Tampice in a
raid Sunday morning and held with
the company's property for ransom
remained mystery tonight. No fur
ther word has come from Consul
Shaw at Tampico or from any other
official or unofficial source since the
consular dispatch of Monday saying
that lives of the forty Americans and
$250,0O0 in destructible property were
held as security on 48 hours notice
for payment of $4,000 pesos. De-
partment officials would not admit
any uneasiness because of the lack of
information. There is known to be
considerable perplexity here, however,
inasmuch as the period granted by
Gorosave, rebel chief, for payment of
the ransom had elapsed before the
departments advices were made
known. Directions to the embassy in
Mexico City and to the counsel to
insist on adequate protection for
American rights and sentiment and
for punishment of the raiders went
forward. Late today no further word
had come from any quarter to dis
close what developed Tuesday morn
ing when the time limit expired.

RAILROAD LABOR
BOARD MAY ACT
If No Agreement Is Reached Labor
Board Will Take Jurisdiction.

Chicago, June 28.-Two possible
means of warding off the threatened
strike of 100000 shop men suggested
themselves to railroad circles tonight
following what B. M. Jewell, head Of
the shop unions, termed the "last
werd'' to the railroads in the union
ultimatum sent to the Association Of
Railway Executives last night. The
executives were scheduled to meet In
Chicago tomorrow afternoon, and
local railroad executives today said
the shipments refusal of truce
would undoubtedly receive attention.
President JEWELS telegram last
night to 7. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman
of the executives, left little leeway
for avoiding the strike, it was felt
by railroad officials today. They
characterized the union demands that
the $60,O0O,00O wage cut ordered by
the railroad labor hoard July be
stayed, that rules abolished by the
board be restored and that farming
out of railroad work be discontinued
as impossible and unreasonable"
The certain rejection of the union
proposal therefore left in the opinion
of railroad men but two possible loop
holes to avoid issuance Of the strike
cali.
One was that conference between
the union leaders and the executives
might be called tomorrow and if no
agreement was reached technical
dispute might be announced over
which the railroad labor board, acting
under the transportation act, could
take jurisdiction as it did in the big
four brotherhoods strike last year and
act to prevent a walkout. The other
is that if the strike is called the board
could also take jurisdiction under the
act, on the ground that the strike
would interrupt commerce and order
the status quo-maintained.
