ROLLING STOCK IN BAD ORDER AND
 MENACE TO SAFETY, CUMMINGS SAYS

it was misusing the power it already possessed.
 Republican leaders in charge of the bill conceded the contention of Sen atol- Walsh, Dem ocrat, Montana, that it was intended not ''so much to au- thorize the interstate commerce com mission to issue additional prorlty orders as to cloak it with authority to employ such orders in such a way as would regulate coal prices and prevent profiteering by both coal op- orators and dealers"
 It was denied. however. by them that it was a ''price fixing bi1l'' as charged by some of its opponents.
 Cumn1ins argued that it would be absolutely necessary for at least sev- eral months to allow the government the 'tbroadest latitude" in it's efforts to insure adequate movement or coal, and other necessaries of life and he insisted that the interstate commerce commission should be ac- corded every facility to deal with the coal and railroad situation in every practicable way"
 Opposition also was directed toward the federal fuel distribution agency the bill would create, to cooperate with the interstate commerce com mission, but the necessity for such an agancy was also earnestly urged by Senators Kellogg of Minnesota and other administration spokesmen.

THE UNIV VERSITY HOOL
 1S92-1922


 First graduate of T. U. S.. entering with out conditions the Sophomore class at Yale, graduated easily in the highest honor group, constructively active in the business, profes- sional, and religious life of the city, the School rejoices in what you have done and are doing There have been better stu dents. But to jump wide interval (You long held the record for the broad jump), B., at Yale under the new dispensa- ton, is one of the happiest and most enthu- siastic Yale men have known.
 What lot they are! And how they have made good, - those who finished their pre- paratory work here, those who took year or two in the big schools before entering business! I was checking them up the , other day; and enjoyed it; they are really running their towns. One third of the boys and technical schools are almae matres to the rest.
 As in your own day. the older students going strong, commonly saving one year out of four and often saving two years; and the opportunities to those who are one, two, or three years below high-school grade, are even greater. We probably do more per- sonal work to-day with every student; and this combined with the class and group work yields the largest returns. The morning. afternoon, and evening sessions will be con- tinued this year, beginning on t he usual Wednesday, the 20th of September.
 Sincerely yours,
 VINCENT C. PECK.
