With Capitol Hill digging itself

Committee today launched an In.
vestigation Of the Department Of
Justices alleged delay in bringing
an antitrust prosecution against
the Mellon-owned Aluminium Com
pany OF America
Sponsored by Senator Thomas j.
Walsh Cd of Montana, famous
Teapot Dome prosecutor. the inyes-
tigation started out with the ex-
pressed purpose Of earnings why
the department failed to take ac-s
ton upon complaint issued
against the Aluminium Company IN
November 1924, by the Federal
Trade Commission. 1t was speedei
up because, Walsh declared, unless
such a prosecution IS started BY
January 80, the statute Of Lmita-
tons will prevent any court action.
Administration leaders were
watching the investigation closely !,
because of its political Significance
They saw in it not only 4 direct
attack on Secretary Of the Treasury

NEW LABOR
BOARD
SEEN
By GEORGE E. DURNo

Il BY GEONUE =. DOhENO
The men who finance and man
age the great railroad systems
of the nation and the men who
actually operate them, presenting
a united front, today laid before
President Coolidge a proposal for
abolition of the much-discussed
Railroad Labor Board, and the
substitution therefor of another
agency, less obnoxious to cap
ital and labor, yet still affording
adequate protection to the
public.
The new proposal, it is UNDER.
stood, contains features embody-
ing regional adjustment, media
ton and arbitration of all railroad
labor disputes without the ex-
treme mandatory powers now
vested in the labor board which
are so distasteful to employers
and employees alike.
Attitude of Coolidge
Should President Coolidge concur
in the idea that the new agency will
he SO constituted as to protect the
bublic interest, he will Immediately
recommend its enactment by Con-
Rress, for in his annual message to
that body he said:
81 am informed that the railroad
managers and their employees have
reached substantial agreement as
to what legislation is necessary to
regulate and improve their relation
ship.
Whenever they bring forth such
proposals, which seem sufficient
also to protect the interest of the
public, they should be enacted into
law"
The President heard from the rep
resentatiYes of the powerful rail
way brotherhoods TODAY that
mutually satisfactory plan had been
worked out.
This was in confirmation Of what
he had been told by Alfred p Thorn,
general counsel for the Association
OF Railway Executives
Those included in today's con-
ference were Bert NJ. Jewell, head
of the Shopcrafts; d. e. Robert
son, president of the Railway En-
gineers and F'iremen: w. n. Doak,
vice president of the Trainmen,
and Donald Richberg. general coun.
sci for the latter organization.
Both sides were chary of dig
cussing the precise terms of the
DFnn0Sai nan6in0 Presidential
proval.
They agreed, however, that it
would assure the general PUBLIC
adequate protection in the event Of
wage or working disputes.
They both stated that If reason.
able assurance would be given
there would be no cessation of
labor in event of a difference.
