WASHINGTON, D.

The report was made following a study of the license plate and it's importance as a safety factor and emphasizes the existing lack of uniformity.
 'The usefulness of the standard li- cense plate in traffic control and regulation can be greatly enhanced by study and cooperative action by all concerned" the division says.
 When it becomes hard to get the number, and there is less possibility of error, many chance-taker will drive more sanely.
 Traffic officers in cities, towns and states will be aided in their work when license plates are more uni form. Standard sizes of plates, mounted in standard locations and with standardized numbering codes ought to make his inspection easier more accurate and positive.

 ia, where he became judge of the | student law court and orator of the Jefferson Literacy Society, both ex- ceptional honors.
 He was admitted to the bar in 1877 and at once took a high place as an attorney and practitioner. In 1882, while practicing in Marion County, Texas, he won considerable fame through his brilliant defense or man convicted of murder under the Ku Klux law of Texas. Culberson took hold of the case, appealed II to the circuit court, and by ms aole pleading secured reversal of the verdict with a declaration of the un- constitutionality of the Ku klux law.
 His ability soon forced him into the political arena and in 1880, when but 25 years of age, he was elected County Attorney of Marion. After short incumbency he resigned to | engage once more in his private prac- tice which had grown to such pro- portions that it caused him to de- cline a nomination to the State leg islature, offered by his party i'll l8SZ.
 In 1888 he removed to Dallas and esta ablished the law firm of Bookhout and Culberson, wherein he continued active until 1890, when he attend ed the Democratic state convention and was nominated for attorney gen eral by exclamation. He was elect ed by a large majority and served until 1894, when he was nominated for Governor and elected in the fall of that year His efficient admins tration of the office brought him a second nomination in 1896, and des pite the opposition of a powerful fusion ticket growing out of the ii nancial issues then attracting nat ional attention, he was again elected by an overwhelming majority.
 At least twice during his politica activities of that period he stood before the international spotlight once in 1896 when the whole worlt was watching his celebrated cores pondence with Prince Bismark ol the subject of bimetallism, and aga1l when he issued an executive orde prohibiting the Corbett-Fitzsimmon fight which was to be held in Texa in 1895.
 He was elected to the Unite : States Senate in 1899; reelected i 1905. again in 1911, and for the At l time in 1916 He was unoppose " for his seat in the latter campaign > Toward the end of his senatorif f service, MT.

Leadership is essential in Congress
as everywhere else. There must De
party leadership, and there must be
leader of each party in the House
and in the Senate.
In the Senate the rule has been to
elect as majority party leader the
member who has been longest in con-
tinuous service, but this rule was de-
parted from when the present Re-
publican leader. Senator Charles Cur
tbs of Kansas, was chosen to this re-
sponsible post and Senator Francis
E. Warren, who was entitled to 1t
under the seniority rule with more
than SO years of service. continued
as chairman of the appropriations
committee.
1t is especially important to have
strong leadership in the Senate when
the majority is small, as II was dur
ing the Sixty-eighth Congress and
with insurgency claiming the pal
ance of power"
The party leader makes all the
motions necessary in proper handling
of the administration or party pro-
gram, although individual members
may be particularly interested in GER
tain particular bills. He makes all
for adjournment and for ex-
ecutive sessions. He names the COM
mlttee on committees anu thc SecOi
ing committee. In fact, he is the one
who keeps the party machinery NOV
ing.
The minority party, now Demo
cratic, intrusts to it's leader the duty
of marshaling the attack upon the
majority. The present minority leader
in the Senate is Senator Joseph I.
Robinson of Arkansas.
Different System in House.
In the House the system has been
somewhat different, owing to the spe-
cial authority given by the Consti-
tuition to the National House or
Representatives to originate money
raising legislation. The Constitution
gives this authority TO members OF
the House because they are elected
every two years and so kept more
closely under the control of the
voters. AS the tariff and revenue
policy is the principal bone of con-
teation between the Republican and
Democratic parties, it has become a
custom for each party to choose as
it's leader on the floor the member of
it's party who ranks highest on the

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
HAGERSTOWN. Md. March IL
Several hundred striking shopmen OF
the Western Maryland Railway Co.
have prepared for the filing of suits
sggregating millions of dollars
against the company, alleging viola
tion of contract and asking pay for
the period of idleness from March 20,
1922, to date.
J. Cleveland Grice, their attorney,
said today the first of the suits would
be filed at once at Hagerstown, Cum
berland and Baltimore, Md, and
Elkins, w. Va, where the principal
shops are located.
1t is charged the Federate Shop
Crafts were working under a wage
agreement when the company abol~
ished their positions and turned the
shop work over to a contracting COM
.pany, resulting in a reduction of
wage and the strike. Recently the
international officials of the shop
crafts ordered an end of the strike
and return of the men to work
Whether the strikers are entitled to
pay for the time they have been
out of employment is the important
question involved in the suits.
