Hope, Committee Told.

Washington, April 4.-Enactment

dy bills without radical change, Is
the hope of President Harding and
shipping board officials, Chairman
Lasker told members of the senate
commerce committee, and the
house merchant marine committee
at the opening session today OF
Joint hearings on the measures.
Declaring that the shipping board
stands fast" for the general prin-
cipes embodied in the program en-
dorsed by the president, Mr.. Lasker
expressed the opinion that "anv
radical change in the proposal
might result in the destruction Of
the whole"
I'm the application of details
both by law and regulation" he
asserted. "the board feels free to
say that these may be points that
should be further explorad."
After he had read a lengthy
statement in which he contended
that government operation not only
had proved a costly failure" but
was driving private owners off the
seas, the shipping board head be-
came the target for a rapid fire of
questions, most of them from dem
ocratic members of the house com
mittee.

Lasker said he had a suspicion"
that a few. operators have pur-

that he would not make any spe-
cific charges on this point.

At T7ORNEYS FOR
PENNA. RAILROAD
COMPLETE FIGHT
Oppose Motion of the Labor
Board to Dismiss the In
junction Suits Brought
BY the Road.
(By The Associated Press

Chicago, April 4-Attorneys for
the Pennsylvania railroad com
pleted their fight against the mo-
ton of the United States railroad
labor board to dismiss the injunc-
ton suit brought by the road and
the case was taken under advise
ment today by Federal Judge
George P. Page.
In several instances Judge Page
indicated that he held the opinion
that the power of the labor board
was merely to investigate and pub
lish decisions of its investigations.
He intimated that with no power
of enforcement behind those de-
cisions, it was not MADE plain by
the Pennsylvania how the boards
decisions in the Pennsylvania case
was unconstitutional.
The road denied the power of
the board to order certain con-
ferences with shop employees, in
cluding the unions, on its lines,
and contended that the board
could not prescribe how elections
to name employe representatives
in conferences should be held
Timothy j. Seofield counsel for the
carrier. introduced lengthy argu-
ment on the powers of the board
under different sections of the
transportation act, which created
it, and declared there was no au-
thority in the act to allow the
board to declare contracts void az
was done when the Pennsylvania
made certain rules agreements
with employees, none of whom were
union men.
Concluding the argument for he
board, Blackburn Everlin, special
assistant to the attorney general OF
the United States, compared ire
transportation act to the stock
yards act, and the futures trading
act, the constitutionality Of which
is now pending in the supreme
court. He said they were similar
measures to the railroad oct and
had withstood all attacks In the
lower courts.

BEAUTIFUL HANDS ARE
A THING OF THE PAST
IN RUSSIA, IS CLAIM

Odessa. April L. - Beautiful
hands are a thing of the past in
Russia. The hands of handsome
women are hard and horny, al
most as those of field laborers.
They have neither hot water no1
soap in which to wash them. nor
salves and cold creams TO prevent
chapping.
Constant household labor In
their single rooms. making fires
for cooking. carrying water, chop
ping wood and many other primi-
tive duties have hastened the ef-
feet of cold and dirt.
The hands of men and women of
the theater, opera, pianists and
instrument players are in the same
condition.
Mal-nutrition is another cause.
LACK of milk and fats has wrought
havoc with tender skins. Many
women's cheeks are mottled like
the skin of fish. The same cause
has fastened the decay OF their
teeth.

NEW RECORD FOR 1922

New York April 4.--Operations
on the stock exchange today estab-
lished a new high record for the
year. The turnover of about 1,375,-
600 shares was unequalled since
December 20, 1920. but the ad-
vance of the forenoon met with
considerable cashing Of profits,
lower prices prevailing at the close.
On the early rise of one to three
points, many stocks attained to
highest levels for a year or more,
among others United States Steel,
once the markets acknowledged

The advance came to a sudden
halt at midday when Studebaker
the recent favorite made an abrupt
decline of 5A points on what seem
ed like urgent liquidation and from
which it recovered only partly.

Operation of the civil service
