Railway Head Blames
Unregulated Agencies

Waterloo, Iowa, Dec. 12.-tR-C. D.

western railroads reduced their ex-

1880 In comparison with the same
period Of 1929, in an address prepared

Competition from "unregulated
agencies" on highways and inland
waterways, subsidized by the govern

chiefly responsible for the decrease
in railroad revenues, Morris said. He
said fewer men were working on the

tinuation of discrimination against
North Dakota and a continuation OF
preferential rates to the Twin Cities
and Duluth.
I'VE insist that whatever percent
ages are finally made effective that
they be absolutely uniform Through
out all Of Western Trunk Line terri
tory. One of the most outstanding
causes of discrimination against
North Dakota in favor of the Twin
Cities and Duluth Is the more ia
vorable percentage relationship OF
classes to first, enjoyed by the Twin
Cities and Duluth. If fourth class
is to be made so per cent Of first
and fifth class. IS per cent Of first for
the Twin Cities and Duluth, we want
the same thing for North Dakota.
I'VE deny that transportation con-
ditions and the public interest re-
quire a continuation of grouping Of
the Twin Cities and Duluth on traf-
fic fro.n or to official classification
territory. Why should these lines
receive preferential treatment as
against the balance of Western
Trunk Line territory? We say, let
the commissions decision stand. This
feature was thoroughly considered
by the commission and the petition
recites nothing new.
Another of the petitioners Is to
retain their preferential adjustment
by coming. Their arguments are the
same as those already considered by
the commission. We certainly are
opposed to any modification OF the
western Trunk Line territory zones
that will move the Twin Cities and
Duluth into eastern territory unless
North Dakota is also included"
Had Ample Time
Calling attention to the lengthy
period Of time involved In the class
rate proceedings, Mr.. Hendricks said
the contentious of all parties have
been most carefully, analysed, by the
commission" =.
THE conclusions reached" he said
ARE amply sustained by the record
and should not be cast aside because
certain big interests are dissatisfied
with the results. 1t Is impossible for
the commission to render q decision
that will provide a scheme for just
reasonable and on-discriminatory
rates for Western Trunk Line terri
tory, satisfactory to the Twin Cities
and Duluth.
'They have so long enjoyed such
extreme preferences that any lawful
changes In rates would be unsatisfac-
tory to them. We will be greatly dis
appointed, II after all these years Of
litigation we are unable to get any
semblance of justice because Of the
| objection Of the Twin Cities ane
| Duluth. They have no inherent right
| to prosperity at our expense. and We
insist that correction Of our 1ntol'
cradle rate situation be no longer de-
layed.
1.-THE petition recites no errors o
law, 1t suggests no new evidence o.
changed conditions; 1t simply ask

| conclusions. We submit that the Pc
| tition should be denied and the com

DEBATE STARTS
, TODAY; LONG
FIGHT DUE
Only a Miracle Can Prevent
Jurists' Defeat, Chiefs Say;
Democrats Hold the Key

Unless Judge John j. Parker
withdraws his name, a hostile
Senate today was ready to reject
his nomination to the Supreme
nrt after first explaining its
OPPOSITION.
While the White House felt
confident Parker would be con-
firmed, Administration leaders on
Capitol Hill declared it would re-
puire a political miracle to change
Athe Senate's present intention to
reject the nomination. The op-
position was based on Jildge
Parker's judicial record toward
organized labor and certain views
he once expressed assailing the
civic qualifications of the negro
race.
Debate Begins Today
Debate on the appointment was
to start at 3 o'clock under
unanimous consent agreement. It
probably will last several days.
The only hope of Parker's friends
to secure his confirmation lay in
winning Southern Democrats,
since it was entirely likely that
more Republican Senators would
vote against the nominee than in
his favor.
To add to the difficult task
confronting Parker's friends it
was rumored that many Demo
Gratis, favoring the appointment,
would absent themselves when
the vote is taken, thus further
reducing the nominees chances
of confirmation. -t
Parker meanwhile was not with
out friends in the Senate, His
fight will be led by Senator Fess
(R.) of Ohio, Senator Allen (R.)
OF Kansas and Senator Hebert
(R) OF Rhole Island. In a state
ment to the press, Allen defended
Parker's judicial record toward
negroes. He cited a case in Rich
mond, Va, in which Parker held
a negro had the right to own and
OCCUPY home in street where
all the other homes were occu-
pied by whites. The Parker rul-
ing set aside a local segregation
law.
Defends His Decision.
Judge Parker today came to his
own defense, in a letter to Sena-
tor Overman CD North Caro-
lima. He defended his action in
? Rupholding the West Virginia's
Federal court decision in the So
called "yellow-dog" miners con-
tract on the grounds he followed
a previous decision given. by the
Supreme Court in a similar case.
Concerning the charge of the
Negroes that he remarked dur.
ing his unsuccessful campaign for
governor of his state in 1920
"that he would resign as governor
If he found he was elected by a
single negro VOTE" he denied he
ever suggested that Negroes be
denied the privilege of voting.

GULL I
! GOES BEFORE
j. s. COURT
Mitchell Argues TWO Cases
In Which State Was Beaten
In Lower Tribunals As Test

The most important prohibi-
ton issue raised since the early
days Of the Eighteen tn Admend-
ment was presented to the su.
preme Court today when Attorney
General Mitchell's contention that
the liquor buyer is equally guilty
with the seller, was argued.
Decision is expected before
adjournment in June.
expected before adjournment In
June.
Although Government officials
generally had regarded the buyer
as exempt from punishment
under the national prohibition
act, Mitchell announced his in
tention Of obtaining a final de-
cision on the question after he
became chief prosecutor Of the
Administration.
Two Before Court.
Two cases are before the court
for argument. In one James e.
Farrar, Of Boston, was indicted for
purchase of liquor from Frank
Rotondo, of Medford. In the
other, Alfred I. Norris, New York
investment banker. was indicted
for conspiracy to violate the Vol.
stead act, the conspiracy being
the ordering Of liquor for person
al use from a Philadelphia boot
logger.
The Government was beaten in
two Of three court actions in the
two cases. The Farrar indict-
ment was dismissed in Massachu-
SettS Federal Court on the ground
that liquor buying is not a vio-
lation Of law. Norris was con-
victed and fined 5000 in Phil.
adelphia. but the conviction was
set aside by the third Circuit
Court.
During debate on the Eight
eenth Amendment resolution,
Senator Hardwick, Of Georgia
proposed that the word "pur.
chaser" be written into the list
Of prohibitions along with sale,
manufacture and transportation
Of intoxicating liquor. The mo,
.tion was defeated.
Mitchell. however, contends
this does not mean that Congress
did not intend to punish the
liquor buyer. He bases his claim
on the VolStead act. His brief
says:
The question Of whether it
is an OffenSe under the ma
tiOnal prohibition act to pur-
chase liquor except as author
lied in that act, should be
viewed in the light Of the ulti-
mate aim and purpose Of the
act, which is to prevent the use
Of intoxicating liquor as a beV.
.erage."
Defense attorneys contend
that reference to purchase of
liquor mean only unlawful pur-
chaSeS by holders Of permits for
liquor buying.
