RAILROADS To

RELIEF ACTION
Executives to Ask LegiSIa-

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-With
American railroads facing what they
term the most critical situation they
have experienced since the trans
portation act Of 1920, the Associa-
tion Of Railway Executives, repre-
senting every class railroad in the
United States, plan to demand pow
erful relief legislation in congress.
a curb on the competition of mo-
tor vehicles, coastal steamship lines
and oil and gas pipe lines will be
asked of congress in the legislation,
according to reports. An outstand-
ing provision is a proposal to compel
the oil and gas industry to stop use
i. OF s400,000000 oil pipe lines.
All forms Of interstate transpor-
tstion would be placed under the
jurisdiction Of the interstate COM
merce commission, in the plan to be
proposed by the rail carriers.
Steamships Are Proposed
This would include the subjection
OF coastal ship lines chartering to
Issuance by the commission of GER
tificates of convenience and neces-
Sity.
It was stated that the railroads
also will ask permission to operate
coastwise steamships and transports
on the Great Lakes, which now is
forbidden by the Panama Canal act.
Overland transportation of freight
by motor trucks, as we'll as passen-
ger service, is to be objected to in
the proposal, in the form of re-
quest for a higher and more strict
rate of license for buses and
trucking lines.
Object TO Free Operation
Charles c. Paulding, vice -presi-
dent of New York Central, con-
flrmed reports of the plans, and
said
Competition by new and unreg-
ulated methods of transportation
has brought about the present crisis

railroads do not oppose these new
forms Of transportation, but do OBJ
iect to their operation free from the
strict regulations imposed on rail

FULL STORY OF
VICE FRAMEUPS
WILL Be TOLD
Two New York Lawyers
Make Confessions in
Graft Quiz.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK. Nov. 28.-A full
confession of widespread graft and
extortion of sensational nature in
the conduct of vice cases in the
women's court has been made by
two lawyers, it was learned today,
as the appellate division inquiry
into minor court conditions re-
sumed private hearings.
The lawyers, whose names we're
withheld, are among those mem
toned in ti,e open hearing earlier
this week by John c. Weston; pro-
cess server who acted as a deputy
assistant district attorney, and ad-
mitted taking bribes from twenty
one lawyers over a period of years.
They will repeat their stories
when public sessions are resumed,
probably next Tuesday, and are
then expected to name prominent
persons included in the "vicious cir.
Gle" of stool pigeons, arresting Off
GERS, bondsnen, lawyers, district at
torneys' representatives and an
other who received and split the eg-
tortion money.
The implication is that the un-
named party'to the system was the
magistrate sitting in the case.
Should this be borne out, it would
mean that every person involved,
from the time a woman was arrest
ed until she either was discharged
or convicted, pro1ted financially
from any money she might be in
duced to pay.
The revelations were said to be
more startling than those disclosed
at the public hearings when Chile"
M. Acuna, a vice squad stool pigeon,
told of framing immortality charges
against women, innocent and guilty
alike, and implicated a number of
members of the police force,
