ton with a speech in which he said:

Lewis to Washington as United States
Senator from Illinois to become &C

Springfield editor, and William L.
O'Connell of Chicago, manager OF
Lewis landslide campaign for Senator
last November, announced -. Hams"
name will be entered on the ballot in
the 1882 presidential preferential prim-
airy.
Cermak and his aides called atten-
ton TO the majority of more than
750, 900 by which Lewis defeated Con-

American question Congress provided q
powerful weapon when it wrote into
the Smoot-Hawley tariff act a prohibit
ton against Importation Of goods pro-
duced by convict labor. This was nc
new American policy: for many years
the Government has been taking similar
steps to protect American working men
from unfair competition. AS applied
to Russia's peculiar economic situation
however, the regulation has far-reach-
ing possibilities.
Evidence is in the hands Of the Amer
lean Government that very large num-
bers Of Russians actually are performing
enforced labor. The number 50 used
in the Northern Russian timber country
is said to total 100000. sent out Of the
Russian interior on political charges
The recent Treasury ruling barring Rus
sian wood products from import unless
1t could be proved no enforced labor
entered into production resulted from
this evidence in the face of Russian
denials.
Obtaining Proof DifiicuH.
How such proof can be established
in any specific case remains undeter-
mined and the difficulties in the way
suggest that Russian wood imports
which amounted last year to about
S3,O00,000, may be barred entirely. II
appears unlikely the American Govern
ment will ask permission to send in
spectors into Russia. inasmuch as q
similar request on the part Of Great
Britain has been denied by the Russian
government. Some American importers
are said to have arranged to send their
own inspectors, hoping the weight of
evidence given by them will be consid-
cred acceptable to customs Officials.
A test of the wood import regulation
cannot be made for some time. Nearly
all of this trade comes from Archangel
where the harbor will remain frozer
for another two months. At Leningrad

RAIL HOLDING BILL
WILL Be PUSHED
Parker, Seeing Quick Com
mittee o. K, TO Seek Passage
OF Measure This Session.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Parker Of the House Inter-
state Commerce Committee yesterday
followed introduction Of q resolution for
the Interstate Commerce Commission
control Of railroad holding companies
with the announcement he would seek
passage at this session.
Mr.. Parker said he expected quick
committee approval His action raised
the possibility that the closing days of
Congress might find it occupied with
railroad legislation. but it was prob
lematical whether the resolution could
be put through both houses before
March 4.
The Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee considered another phase Of
the transportation problem in approv-
ing a resolution for study of all forms
OF interstate transportation, with par
ticular reference to competition with
railroads.
Rail Opposition Hinted.
The Parker resolution is expected Ia
have little sympathy among powerful
railroad groups, but they have COM
planned frequently of late of increasing
competition on the part of motor We
hicles and barge lines.
Demands have been made for Inter-
state commerce Commission regulation
Of motor carriers and protests against
Government aid to the Federal barge
Lines have been expressed.
The resolution Mr.. Parker introduced
yesterday carried out a suggestion he
made Friday in making public the re-
suit OF his committees study of railroad
ownership.
IL Large Groups Cited.
The findings were summarized BY the
statement that IA railroad groups con.
troll 100000 miles Of the 260,00 mileage
Of first-c1ass roads.
