SEN. SIMMONS
IN ATTACK ON
FORDNEY BILL
Calls 1t Mortgage to
Monopolized In
dusfry.'

Washington, May 6.-The taxes
that would be imposed by the
pending tariff bill would be as real
as those imposed by the revenue
bill and probably as great, from
three to four billions of dollars,
Senator Simmons, of North Caro-
lima, ranking Democrat on the SEN
ate finance, committee, declares in
a minority report filed today in the
senate
They must be paid by all the
people" the report says, lust as
those in the revenue bill must be
paid by all the people and not by
the beneficiaries who have de-
manded and got them. The people
must not only pay the taxes on
| imports which go directly into the
treasury, but they must pay the
resulting increase in prices of all
the things they buy and consume.
! so far as the special interests
are concerned, it goes without say
ing the taxes imposed are both sat
, isfying and comforting.
"On the other hand the people
! view this bill as a measure full OF
mischief and dangerous possibili-
| ties, loaded with innumerable bur
, dens for them and their posterity
when the Fordney bill passed
the house the general public re-
garded it as a monstrosity SO alb
surd that they took it more as a
joke than as a serious attempt at
tariff revision. 1t did not excite
in them any great degree of alarm
because they felt sure the senate
would rewrite it
People Disappointed.
"In these expectations the people
have been grievously disappointed.
In these circumstances the peo-
pie will be satisfied with nothing
short of a full exposure. No con-
spiracy of silence, no threat of
long sessions, no charges of fill
buster or cloture must be allowed
to smoke-screen and divert the ex-
posure of the iniquities which lurk
in the tax-laden schedules and
paragraphs of the 43S pages of the
amended Fordney bill, an act Gf
properly entitled), to mortgage the
country and its resources to the
protected and monopolized indus
tries"
In his report Senator Simmons
undertakes to answer the main con-
tentions of the majority report and
embodies the main points made by
him in his recent address in the
senate attacking the tariff meas
ure. He asserts that the rule for

POWERS OF
RAIL BOARD
UNALTERED
u. S. Lawyers Say Page
Decision No Blow at
Labor Body. y
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

| Copyright, 1922, by The ArguS.)
! Washington, d. c., May 6.-Care-
J full study of the decision of Judge
Page in the federal courts of Chi
cago awarding a victory to the
Pennsylvania Railroad in its con-
troversy with the United States
! Railway Labor Board has brought
government lawyers, to the conclu-
sion that first impressions of the
decision as circulated in the press
were erroneous and that the YER
dict was by no means blow at the
railroad labor board.
In fact, it now is doubtful wheth-
er the government will appeal the
case to a higher court. The reaS-
on is that close inspection of the
decision reveals that the point de-
cided is relatively not essential to
the successful operations of the
Railroad Labor Board in the fu-
ture. On the other hand. the
statement of Judge Page that the
law creating the labor board is
constitutional and that decisions of
the board must be respected is con-
sidered of far more significance.
Pennsy Wins Point
The Pennsylvania railroad incl
dentaIly won, from it's viewpoint,
an important point The contro-
versy arose over the. attempt of the
railroad labor board to prescribe
rules and regulations whereby en-
ployes of the Pennsylvania would
select their spokesman or represen-
tatives for the so-called regional
railway adjustment boards which
have been provided for by law to
settle disputes over wages, work
ing hours and conditions. The
PENNSYLVANIA railroad argued sue
cessfully that the United States
Railway board did not have any
right to tell any railroad or any
workmen for any railroad how
their representative spokesman
shall be selected.
There have been many charges
by railroad workers that when pro-
vision is made for the settlement
of a dispute between representa-
tives of employers and employees,
there is no way to make sure that
the companies do not select friend
ly representatives or see to it that
the balloting brings out spokesmen
favorable to any company's cause.
The United States Railroad La
Dor board tried to overcome this
difficulty by laying down an ex-
plicit set of instructions governing
secret ballot in the election of
employees representatives. The
courts found that the labor board
wasn't granted any such right by
the transportation act.
Board Can Settle Disputes.
But is is a fact that the law does
enable the railroad labor board to
take jurisdiction over any dispute
which is likely to interrupt the ma
tion's commerce and there is a spe-
cific provision permitting the rail-
road labor board to decide a dis
pute if no conference between en-

Woodruff charged Daugherty has
put into the hands Of slaclSers the
work OF investigating war fraud
cases. and that Department OF JUS
tice agents are not allowed to in
vestigate cases other than those 10
which they are assigned. In sub
stance. he said that the agents must
shut their eyes when other cases Of
war graft" are brought to their at
tention. The Congressman said that
he intends to have Palmer and Gar
win show some facts in regard to
war fraud cases.
Our Attorney General has been in
office fourteen months, and although
his archives are crammed with war
fraud cases, many Of which warrant
indictments, he has taken no ac-
ton"
He thought fourteen months suf'

the offenders in court.

Woman's Welfare Body Issues
Don'ts for Victims Ahead

Hay fever is funny until you
catch It.
Then II Is kachooingly removed
from the category Of comic words in
which you have placed such sugges-
tive nouns as limburger. mother-in.
law, chickenpox, plumber and cocoa
nut.
Further proof that hay fever isn't
funny Is furnished by the Woman's
Welfare Association, which has
opened a Tuesday afternoon clinic
for hay fever victims at 1922 Elev.
enth street northwest.
Realization that hay fever Ia \
mighty serious matter comes with u
bang when the association weightily
announces:
''One of the most important fea.
lures of this clinic is the prevention
and treatment of hay fever. The
number of applicants for preventive
treatment has steadily grown to such
an extent that an additional after
noon will be devoted to the work"
The association established the
Clinic of Applied Immunology three
months ago, to assist In the control
of preventable diseases. Treatment
has been given on Thursday after
moons.
According to physicians in charge
Of the clinic, persons subject to the
fall variety of hay fever should begin
the preventive treatment at once.
This type usually begins in the To-
cality of Washington about the mid
die Of August.
For the benefit of Washingtonians
suffering from the early, or summer
crop of sneezitis, the association has
compiled list Of fifteen suggestions.
These advise the wearing Of amber
glasses out of doors, preferably mo-
torists' goggles with side projectors;
the wearing of veil when motoring;
the avoidance of flowers. dusts, Wig
orous exercise, raw fruits and vege-
tables, drafts, changes of tempera-
ture, face powder. shaving powders
or heavy perfumes. Bedroom win
dows should be kept closed during
the day and garments worn out OF
doors should be shaken and brushed
before coming in. Such clo-hea
should be kept out. Of the bedroom
and should be substituted for other
apparel indoors.

Henry Stewart. seventy-one years
old, has walked from San Diego,
Cal. to invite President Harding to
the reopening Of the San Diego Elk
position on January 1, 1928.
A little transcontinental walk Is
nothing to this veteran. He's rade
seven round trips afoot from San
Diego to New York. has journeyed
across James Oliver Curwood's prof.
table Canada, and has taken his feet
around the world once. On his pres.

States and took the Southern route
to Washington.

Walking is a very enjoyable exer-
else, and I've done considerable @xer-
else in my time. It's one bad point is
that atmospheric conditions control
1t to a great extent"
Stewart, a Scot and exponent Of
the simple life. looks like figure
out OF the pages Of 'FortS-niner

crowned by a shapeless brown velour
hat. Sprigs Of flowers adorn the
slim hatband. Keen eyes look out
from bushyl eyebrows. and ruddy,
firm cheeks disappear into a cascade
of curling white beard. The vet
eran's sturdy frame is encased in an
extensively medaled and patched
maclinaw, knickerbockers and leg
gings. His feet are in heavy march
ing order.
Stewart carries mementoes Of his
wanderings in two canvas bags slung
at the ends of a hard. polished, black
walking stick Of unconventional de-
sign. At the slightest provocation he
will permit the curious to know what
he has seen.
