TRAINMEN DENY.
TUNNEL GUARD
RAIL HANDICAP
Union Leaders Rap Public
Service Commission
for Decision.

Contention of the public service
commission that tunnel guard rails
would be a handicap in case Of de-
railments is "all poppycock," in the
opinion Of A. E. Gordon, legislative
representative of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive F'iremen, with offices
in Hotel English.
Gordon, M. H. Miller, railway
trainmen representative; R. H. Har-
rington, Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers, and E. L. Kenney, con-
ductor's spokesman, framed the Pc
tition for tunnel guard rails which
was turf led down by the commission
July /.
In an order written by Commits
sioner Harvey Harmon it was point
ed out that there had never been
a serious accident in any Of the
eight tunnels in southern Indiana;
that guard rails are largely for use
on bridges, to keep ties from piling
up, and that they would be a
handicap in placing cars back on
the track in case of derailment.
Rails Stop Swaying
"Our contention is that guard
rails keep a train from swaying IN
the narrow tunnels and thus are a
safety measure for both passengers
and crew." Gordon commended. 1--WE
have eight tunnels in the State
ranging from 1926 to 1890 feet in
length. There was no evidence
forthcop .ng from railway officials
that guard rails were not a safety
device and the commissions conten-
ton regarding derailment seems to
me unfounded."
"It should not be necessary to
have Titanic disaster before safety
measure are approved" was the
comment of Trainman Miller.
Wants Expert Opinion
Commissioner Harmon defended
his position by pointing out that
only Opinions" of the brotherhood
representatives. and no expert
engineering testimony" was offered
at the hearing.
Whether rehearing will be asked
is now being discussed by the
brotherhood representatives and no
expert engineering testimony" was
offered at the hearing.
The commission has refused
Jurisdiction of petition from the
same source which would require a
full crew" with a Eight engine"
This means locomotive that is not
drawing cars. Refusal was based
on opinion of the attorney general
and should rehearing of the guard
rail petition be asked the same
question of jurisdiction may arise,
Harmon said.

DISPUTE VALUE

MANILA, July War, so far
bloodless but bitter, has broken out
between old and young generations

Younger business men want to

presses it, to get more publicity

The break came when the older

1t was planned to allow stops at
Honolulu, Wake Island and Guam.

1.-THE amount of publicity the

BY RANDALL GOULD

United Fress stan Correspondent
HANKOW, July 7.-Foreign CAPS
ital has a great future in China,
but it will have a hard row to hoe
until the foreign businessman IN
China learns as much about the
people in whose land he lives as he
already knows about racing ponies.
The statement came from Michael
M. Borodin, member Of the Com
munist Party in Soviet Russia, but
working for the Nationalist Govern
ment in China in the capacity OF
High Advisor.
what I personally may feel to be
China's best future course will not
determine the future" declared
Borodin. 1.-THE Chinese themselves
will determine the future. From
present indications, I believe the
possibilities for foreign capital here
are bright.
Knows Little Of China
But what can one say for the Wis
sion of the foreign business man in
China today? Is he in any position
to work constructively for the good
Of both China and himself? He is
not. He knows little or nothing of
China, but he has an excellent
knowledge of racing ponies. In this
small community of Hankow alone,
you will find three race courses.
what does the foreign business
man here read about China? Very
little, almost nothing. He reads the
work of men of his own kind. Wood
head, Who knows all the facts of
China but doesn't understand them;
Rodney Gilbert, who is the bust
ness mans prophet; that man who.
like a cat, walks always on the
fence-Lenox Simpson. Those are
the men he reads.
Borodin pointed at a round pic
ture conSpicuously displayed on the
wall. It was the head Of q race
horse.
THAT Is the one thing which the
China business man really knows
thoroughly. He goes through his
business day dealings with the
Chinks,' as he calls them, but his
real, interest is reserved for the mo-
ments he can devote to racing.
you will find, if you question
him, that the foreign business man
the China hand'-knows all about
not only the racing ponies of his
own town, but the Shanghai or other
large centers as we'll.
But he knows nothing of Wang
wei and other Chinese leaders: he
has no conception of what they are
trying to accomplish"
Only through a new viewpoint
and new interest in the vital hap
penings in China today can foreign
business achieve anything Borodin
believes. On the other hand, he
implied that if foreign capital CO.
operates with the new China 1t will
be richly rewarded.

Gould Challenges
Senate's Right to
Probe Old CHARGES

Washington, Jan. 4.-tP)-Counsei
for Senator Gould, Republican, Maine,
today challenged the authority Of the
senate to investigate charges grow
ing out Of an alleged payment to a
Canadian official in connection with
railroad contract IA years ago.
In ordering the Investigation. the
senate relied on the constitutional
PROVISION making it the judge of the
"qualifications" Of it's own members.
Counsel for the new Maine senator
contended, however, that in going into
an incident which occurred long ago
and which had been widely discussed
by the campaign, resulting in Gopid's
election, the senate was putting too
broad . construction on its consti-
tutiona1 powers.
The issue will be holly conte sted,
particularly in view Of its possible
application to the prospective con-
tests over the seating Of Senators
elect Smith of Illinois and Ware of
Pennsylvania, who are charged with
excessive campaign expenditures.
Senator Gould's challenge Of the
authority of his colleagues was laid
before an elections subcommittee as
soon as it convened today to begin
hearings. :. az. Il 49,
