RAILROADS AND CONN TRUCKERS
 ARE IN BATTLE
Proposed New Laws and Restrictions Have ROus- ed Both Sides and Great Fight Is Expected

Hartford, Conn, March 6-(UP) The railroads and the truck lines of the state were preparing to-day for a legislative fight over proposed new laws and restric- tions.
 The railroads have placed the truckers, represented by the Mo- tor Truck Association of Connecti- cut, Inc, on the defensive by intro- ducing several bills in the General Assembly which, if passed, would cut down the length and load lim- its of trucks.
 Both sides already are in the field, circulating printed pamphlets and circulars filled with conflicting figures, and attempting to per- suade representatives and senators sto see the matter in the proper light.
 Myles w. IlIingworth. secretary of the Truckmen's association, has compiled figures which he says show that the truckers, far from being subsidized by the state, actually pay more taxes than do the railroads.
 In the fiscal year of 1892. says Illingworth, the railroads paid $l,- 722,01O in taxes, divided between the real estate and gross earnings tax. For the same period. he says, the state and various muni- cipalities received $3,896,334 in taxes from trucking companies. Of this amount $1,370.977 was paid for registrations; $1,887,360 in gas- oline tax, and other motor vehicles fees accounted for $238,010. Prop erty tax paid. to towns amounted to S399,985.
 One bill the truckmen are fight ing would increase the present fee for large units $150 per cent. The present fee is $592. Illingworth pointed out that if this measure

DEMOCRATS ARE TO USE STRONG ARM METHODS
They Will Hold Conference This AfternO0n-Thurs= day at Special Session They Will Back Presi- dent
By LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

Washington, March 6-UP)- Democratic leaders agreed to-day to use strong-arms methods to jam emergency banking legislation through the special session of con- gress which President Roosevelt summoned to convene at noon Thursday.
 Majority Leader Robinson an- nounced he would ask senate dem ocrats in conference at 2:3O p. m. to abandon traditional senatorial freedom of action and agreed to be bound by party caucus on measures MT Roosevelt.
 The caucus is a party lash both feared and effective. A two-thirds majority" in caucus binds all pres ent to support the party program despite individual objections. The caucus long has been used in the house. Speaker-electR Rainey is prepared to continue the system there and back it up with a power full steering committee which will guide the Roosevelt program to quick adoption and prevent consid- eration of all other legislation.
 Seldom is the caucus resorted to in the senate, whose members are jealous of their prerogatives of in- dividual freedom of action and un- limited debate.I Leaders agreed in- dividua1 views should be put aside now in the interests of fast and eff fective action. Senator Glass, dem, Va, joined with Robinson in urging resort to the cauclIS
 Congress is called under distinct instructions uttered in MT Roose- velt's inaugural address to deal promptly with this crisis. If it fal- ters, MT Roosevelt will demand un- precedented peacetime emergency powers to do the job himself.
 The president will present his program to congress in a special message to be read when the extra session convenes at noon Thursday.
 Bank legislation will come first. The nature of the legislation is un- known so far. There are appar- ently reliable but unconfirmed re- ports that congress will be asked to enact currency legislation of some kind. Some legislators be-

1ieve the nationwide bank holiday proclaimed last night may lead to limited federal guarantee of bank deposits-perhaps an underwriting of new deposits.
 There is 8 possibility that only the most pressing financial legisla- tion will be proposed in MT Roose- velt's first message to the extra ordinary session. In that event, there might be recess after these measures are forced to enactment under the ruthless regime contem- plated by democratic congressional leaders.
 Senator George, dem, Ga, thought the Roosevelt bank holiday might lead to some form of federal guar antee of bank deposits.
 Chairman Steagall of the house banking committee believes with George that a federal deposit guar antee is likely. Glass in the senate has been able so far to block all house bills for bank guarantees. The little Virginian is angry with the bankers.
 "The banks do nothing for them selves," he said. "They simply run to Washington and ask for help"
