Simmons Says It viii Take Six
Months for Roads to Re-
turn to Normal.

An emphatic warning that rail.
road rolling stock is already in sucH
bad order" that even II the shop

by Senator Cummins, chairman Of
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committe. f .a.. .... IS
, Senator Cummins urged that the
fact that at least 20 per cent Of
railroad equipment essential to ade-
quate transportation mas deteriora-
ted since the strike started" as AN
additional reason" for the immedi-
ate enactment of the Administration
bill to give the Interstate Commerce
Commission blanket power to move
coal and curb profiteering.
Although the proposed legtshtion
continued to encounter stiff opposi-
ton from certain Senators, Cummins
expressed the belier that the diff
ences between the bill as passed by
the House and as reported from his
committee would soon be composed"
and Its passage by the Senate by to-
night secured.
Senator Reed Dem) of Missourp
in attacking the bill declared that
the trouble with the situation was
not that the Intersae Commerce
Commission was without ample
power to meet the coal crisis, but
that It was misusing the power 1t
already possessed"

the bill conceded the contention Of
Senator Walsh Dem.) Of Montana.
that 1t was intended not 80 much
to authorize the Interstate Com

profiteering by both coal operators
and dealers"
1t was denied, however, by them
that II was a 'price.fixing bil." as
charged by some Of its opponents.
Cummins argued that 1t would be
absolutely necessary for at least
several months to allow the Gov
ernment the "broadest Latitude" In
its efforts to ENSURE adequate move

saries of life," and he insisted that

Conventions Of the American
Federation Of Labor for years
have taken cognizance OF this in

given by the Constitution. by God.
and by nature. and resolution
has been adopted that when an in
junction isx issued which invades
these rights II should be treated
as II It had not been issued" he
declared.
Gompers said the injunction will
have no effect upon the strikers
other than to ''solidify their ranks"
1T will not brink men into the
railroad shops" he said.
Gompers bitterly attacked the
Harding Administration for its ac-
ton in securing the Injunction. He
declared that Attorney General
Daugherty had relieved railroads OF
the necessity for retaining lawyers

nest rather than found a solution
At the same time Gompers was
careful to state that he did not
know what the other unions were
planning at the present time. He
declared that ample legal remedies
existed IL unlawful acts had been
committed and declared that II the
workers were compelled to remain
at work they were no longer free.
When asked what legal means of
relief was available to the strikers,
