RAILWAY BILL
SUFFERS THROUGH
FALSE PROPAGANDA

Washington, FEB. 26.-rhe Howell
Barkley bin has beea the subject q
more misinforma.lon and more de
ieefa,e Misrepresentation than any
bill which has been before eangfeSs ;
IN a generation. declared Congress
man Barkley, in announcing thai the
friends of the bill find Il impossible
70 secure favorable consideration -
this session.
Railroad employees support this
measure. Il Is intended to supplant
the railroad labor board. The prin-
cipie of the bin viii again be urged
IN the neN congress, Mr. Barkley
declared
Those who have opposed IT," he
continued. "have systematically mis-
represented il, either through ignof-
ance or design, b. claiming that It
left the public entirely cut Of consid-
Grafton in the formation of the boards
TO decide on questions Of wages.
when, as a matter Of fact. the only
beard created BY the bill TO deal With
wages in any res~oct Is made up
wholly from the public. and all men
who have any interest on either side
are thereby disqualified from mem
hership."
Every effort TO secure a conference
with railroad manaeTS on this bill
has failed, said Congressman Barkley.
In all fairness, | wish 10 say that
some of the railroad presidents were
anxious to co-o- crate. and did their
best TO make these conferences poSsi-
bic and of such an extent as to repre-
sent the railroad executives generally.
But a majority Of their colleagues Re-
ieeted the idea.
Il indulge the hone that al the next
session Of congress We may succeed in
naSsing a law that will cure the mani
fest and glaring inequalities contained
in the present law aud which win rec
ognize and protect the legitimate in
terests of the roads, the men and the
public"

Washington, Feb. 2G.-The govern
ment has failed in its policy Of con
victing business men charged with
war fraud The three year statute of
Limitation was extended three years
ago. With this statute lapsed on war
crimes, department Of justice officials
find that the government has obtained
two convictions, including one plea ol
guilty, out Of the mass Of sensational
testimony and findings turned over by
the Graham investigating committee
four years ago. The department Of
Justice will nov institute civil pro
ceedings, and has secured an addition
al appropriation Of 81 100000 for that
purpose.
The collapse Of the criminal pro
ceedings mark the end Of Attorney
General Daughertys war fraud bu-
reau which was established for the
purpose Of convictinR var profteers.
