CUMMINGS SAYS
u. 5. WILL keep
TRAINS RUNNING
Holds That Congress Can
Do Nothing To Pre-
vent Strike
DOUBTS WALKOUT
No Plan For Amending Railroad Act
Is Before Either Senate or House
At Present

Washington, June 20.-The threat
of general railroad strike on top OF
the existing coal strike found Con
gress yesterday in an attitude OF
"watchful waiting" and disinclined to
move until the situation becomes more
serious.
This was the attitude reflected by
Senator Cummins, co-author of the
Transportation act and chairman Of
the Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, and Representative Samuel F..
WinSlOw, chairman of the correspond
ing House Committee.
No plans now exist for amendment
of the Esch- -Cummins law, but back
of the present governmental inactivity
is the determination that Congress
and the Government will move with
whatever steps may be necessary TO
maintain transportation if a strike
comes.
Senior Cummins said he still be-
heved there would be no strike. The
hope night be father TO the belief, he
suggested, but he could not forsee so
appalling a situatiOp as a railroad
strike would bring. Mr.. CumminS does
not think Congress can move at this
time 70 prevent a strike; he does think
the Government may break it should
it develop.
1t is useless, Senator Cummins said.
to try at this juncture to amend the
Transportation act by insertion of a
penalty clause applicable to railroads
and employees who do not abide by the
awards of the Labor Board. Congress
is not in the mood for anti-strike leg
islation any more than it was when
the act was passed.
If the strike comes, however, Sena-
tor Cummins regards It as inevitable
that the government must operate the
trains.
81 cannot bring myself to believe
there will be a, railroad strike" said
Senator CumminS. Needless to say,
the country cannot go through a rail-
road strike on top of a coal strike.
The suffering that would ensue would
be fearful, The Government could
not permit it.
"But there is no program at present
for amendment of the Transportation
act. About the only way that act
could be amended in the present sit
uation would be by insertion of pen
atty clauses directed at railroads or
employees diSregarding the awards OF
the Labor Board. and making strikes
conspiracy. You canot put such
legislation through Congress at this
time, and that is all there is to it"
''DO you believe there is an attempt
on the part of both capital and labor
10 break down the Labor Board and
the Transportation aet?" Senator
Cummins was asked.
'It is probably true that many per-
sons on both sides would bring that
about if they had their way" said
Senator Cummins. "There was much
opposition to the act and numerous
persons and interests want it repealed
altogether. I am now receiving cor
reSpondence praising &d condemnine
the Labor Board.

Opinions Too
Hastily Formed

There are often circumstances in {.
mans life, not known to the world,
which justifies his unusual course o;
action. We cannot always compel q
man to hold the same opinion we do.
and NATURALLY we conclude he is in er.
ror and pass Judgment before we con-
slider the fact that there are alwav )
two sides to every question. 1t is fr'
quently matter of pride that the&"
extenuating circumstances are not
made public; and our opinions are
formed hastily and the victim Sc
verely criticized. There are grave
difficulties which stand in everyone's
way in forming a judgment of ott
ers. Therefore let us be sure our
subject merits our condemnation be =

IN MEMORIAM

In sad but loving remembrance of
my dear Father, Charlie W. Britting-
ham, who departed this life fourteen
years ago, May %, 1906.
The month of May once more is here,
To me the saddest of the year;
For it was on a May day
That my dear Father passed away.
Out in the lonely cemetery
In the ground SO deep,
Lies my dear Father
Besides his loved ones fast asleep.
Some may think / have forgotten you,
Though on earth you are no more,
But in memory you are with me,
AS you always were before.
Here is one who still will linger,
Near the spot where you are laid,
Who will go' and scatter flowers,
On your lonely silent grave.
My Father is sleeping, free from all
pain,
Oh, wake him not to suffer agan;
He slumbers on sweetly, so let him
sleep on;
His suffering is all ended, and troub-
les all gone.
By his loving Daughter,
DAISY BRITTINGHAM.

Buenos Aires, Oct 19 (By the A. P.) Whether any more pugilistic en- counters similar to that recently en- gagged in by Luis Angel Firpo and Jim Tracy, the Australian heavy weight, are to be permitted in Buenos Aires is a question which is engaging khe attention of the local sport writ er due to the opposition expressed at a recent meeting of the city council against special permission having been granted Firpo by which he might meet Tracy. The opposition was voiced by socialist members of the council, whose objection was that the permis- sion granted Firpo was due to mis- apprehension, that it was not supposed he was going to participate in pub lie prize fight but would merely give m exhibition of his pugilistic ability.
 The city council has applications before it for other similar concessions, including one to a local manager who is bringing the American boxer, Sailor Maxted to Buenos Aires from New York to meet Firpo. Boxing enthus- lasts fear that the permission granted Firpo will be withdrawn by the council and that no more public boxing will be permitted. This would confine 6gbts to the precincts of clubs. which has always been permitted, and end all talk of Firpo-Jack Dempsey and Firpo-Bi Brennan matches in Buenos Aires.
