NJ. & n. A. MAY BE RUNNING
WITHIN SIXTY DAYS

Washington, March 3.-Trains will
he in operation on the Missouri and
North Arkansas Railroad within sixty
DAYS, if the Interstate Commerce
Commission approves favorable re-
port and recommendations submitted
to it today by Col. W. A. Colston, d.
rector of finance, at the final hearing
eiven by a section of the commission
to the st. Louis reorganizations Of the
road. The director recommended a
division of freight rates by connecting
lines which will amount to almost as
much as was asked for. Judge Rhodes
A. Cave, counsel for the receiver, was
so we'll satisfied that he decided not
to make any argument before the
commissioners and contented himself
with a short reply to remarks made
by c. S. Burg, receiver of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas, and TeXaX, on points
of law.
The St. Louisans, members of the
reorganization committee, are very
hopeful tonight. James Fl. Grover said
he expected the Interstate Commerce
Commission to approve the findings
of the finance director, and with this
approval undoubtedly would come the
granting of the $3,500,000 loan ap-
Piled for. However, in any event, a
foreclosure sale Of the property must
be held, and the time for reopening
the road will depend on how long be-
fore the full commission gives its de-
cesion and the length of notice that
must be given of the sale, as well as
arranging many other details.
Festus j. Wade, who is attending to
the financial end of the negotiations,
said after today'S hearing that he was
well pleased with the progress, but
could not comment any further just
now.
The conclusions reached by Col.
Colston in report which he prepared
for the signature of the commission
recommends reductions Of proportions
of the Missouri and North Arkansas
connections on freight originating on
that line aggregating $196,500. The
total amount that had been asked for
in increased divisions was $208,000,
and Judge Cave said the amount al
lowed was entirely satisfactory. The
new rates would become effective as
of March /.

THE PRIMARY ROAD
From Aurora Advertiser.


Aurora-Monett and intermediate
towns must be considered in this
Springfield-Joplin primary road talk
So far Springfield and Joplin hold
cooing matches and talk of primary
road to connect the greater popula-
tions. They think in direct line
between two places. They will con-
tinue to do so until Peirce City, Mo-
nett, Verona, Marionville and Re-
public make them recognize that
there are other greater populations
to be served. In fact Springfield's
real interest lies more to the south
with direct connection through
Neosho to the great oil and population
centers of Tulsa and Oklahoma City,
the two latter already being connec-
ted by a good surfaced road. Out
of these latter places will come more
tourist and business travel to Spring
field and st. Louis than from the
territory west to Joplin. However, 1t
is up to our towns to make their
power and influence felt.

From Labor Board.

Chicago, Ill. March 5.-Railroad
fsAor and the nations largest trans
narration lires will open their fight
wver The present scale of wages tomor
fSw morning before the United States
Railroad Labor Board.
More than 175 roads have placed
:. oeitions for reductions averaging lo
yer cent before the board, a move
which has been met by many groups
>uf employees by counter proposals 1of
wage advances.
ATTEMPTS to block the hearings ana
secure indefinite postponments are
regarded likely in railroad circles
The six shop crafts, unions represent
ing 100000 employees and constituting
one of the strongest groups OF ran
,vynrkers. are first on the boards pro-
gram for the wage hearing. 1t was
said that B. NJ. Jewell, president Of
the Railway Employees in the Depart
ment of Federation Of Labor, repre-
senting the shopmen will be prepared
10 ask postponement Of the hearing
on numerous technical grounds.
A total of ia roads will seek the
10 per cent cut for shop workers when
the case comes up tomorrow, although
the shop men have asked increases on
but eighty-fve Of the roads. This was
due, it was said, to failure to get the
employees petitions in on time. The
shop men ask an increase of !" cents
an hour over the present scale.

TENTATIVE BONUS
PLAN AGREED UPON
As Substitute For Cash Plan, Men
Selecting Certificate Option Could
BORROW Money on Them.

Selecting Certlflcate OptlOn SouN
Borrow Money on Them.
Washington, March "A COM
promise soldiers bonus plan under
which the cash feature would be
eliminated where the former service
men would be entitled to more than
$50 adjusted service pay, was agreed
upon today tentatively, but unani-
mously, by special subcommittee of
the republican members of the house
ways and means committee.
In the nature of a substitute for
the discarded cash feature there would
be added to the adjusted service certi-,
ficate title a provision which would
enable the men selecting the certifi-
cate option to obtain Immediately
from banks loan equal to half of the
adjusted service pay to which. they
would be entitled on the basis of one
dollar day for domestic service and
$1.25 a day for overseas service.
In announcing the compromise a.
greement, Chairman Fordney said it
probably would be week before all
details of the loan provision could be
worked out and the original bill a.
mended to conform to it. He express
ed the opinion that the plan would be
so we'll received by house members
generally that it would not be neces-
sary to submit the new bill to a party
conference, thus speeding up the time
of its submission to the house.
For the first time since the ways
and means committee majority began
consideration of the bonus problem
an official statement of what hap
pened behind the closed doors was
issued.
Chairman Fordney and other COM
mitteemen said they believed the new
plan would meet with general favor,
in and out of congress, for three
reasons, which were summarized as
follows, in a formal statement issued
by Representative Green Of Iowa,
ranking republican on the committee:
| zone, the needy veteran can OBJ
tain money as soon as his certificate
is issued and in greater amount than
is provided by the cash plan of the
original bill.
| 1.-TWO, no large drafts to be made
on the treasury until the expiration
of three years.
"Three, no new taxes required"
Word went around among house
members that the compromise plan
was acceptable both to President
J Harding and to officers of the Ameri-
can Legion and late in the day after
there had been informal exchanges of
views among members in cloakrooms
and corridors it was said that ap-
parently a strong sentiment in favor
of the new proposal was developing
Representative Garner, OF Texas,
the ranking democrat on the ways
and means committee, said that while
there probably would be some oppo-
sition from the democratic side, it was
his opinion that a majority of the
democrats would support the amended
bill.
He thought the loan featured would
tend to extend credits to the extent
of half billion dollars and thus re-
suit in some increase in the cost of
living during the expansion period.

WORK ON FRISCO HOSPITAL
TO BEGIN IN APRIL
Contract for Construction of Building
Will Be Let Within Near Future.

Springfield, March 6.-Work on the
immense new hospital to be erected
here by the Frisco Employees Hospital
association will begin about April Is,
according to recent indications, and
the building and equipment will
represent an expenditure of between
100000 and $750,0OO, H. L. Worman,
superintendent of motive power, said
yesterday.
Bids for the construction of the
building were opened in st. Louis a
week ago last Saturday, and decision
of the contractor rests between the
two lowest bidders.
Room For $50 Patients.
The hospital building will contain
$50 beds and will be the last word in
modern construction for such build
ings. Sanitation and lighting will be
as nearly perfect as modern skill can
make it. A special feature will be
adequate and up-to-date operating
rooms, which feature is lacking in the
present hospital.
As an indication Of the compare
tive values between the present hospi-
tai and the proposed one the old one,
including the ground, is worth ap-
proximately $150,000, as against the
proposed expenditure of about three
quarters of million dollars for the new
hospital and its equipment.
When work on the new hospital be-
gins the patients whose condition
warrants it will be remoTed to the
Frisco hospital in St. Louis. The
slightly i'll will be housed in some
place here.

the Frisco, is president of the Frisco
