TEXTILE WORKERS RANKS SPLIT IN SOUTH

Gas Station
Manager

A Gordon of police was thrown
about Rock Creek Park early to-
day while the area was being
combed for two men who shot
and seriously wounded Roy May,
80, operator of a filling station
at Connecticut Avenue and Yuma
Street Northwest in holdup.
Mr.. May had opened the sta
ton shortly after $50 a. m,
police were told. He was open
ing the safe when he was struck
from behind. Police say he was
then dragged into an adjoining
room and shot. Three empty
pistol shells were found on the
floor.
Loss Unknown
Oil company officials could not
estimate the loss early today,
but said the stations receipts for
Saturday and Sunday were in the
safe.
The robbers fled into Rock
Creek Park, which adjoins the
filling station on the rear, and
disappeared into the woods.
On the trail left by the escaping
men through the park, police found
an ice pick they believe was car
ried by ne Of the men as weapon.
Mr.. May ran to a neighboring
filling station, distance of about
100 yards, and told G. P. Riggin
manager, that he had been shot.

PURCHASE OF RAILROADS.&C.
GOVERNMENT MADE ONE OF
MAJOR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
Western Railways Representative Says Best Way to
Avoid Step Is to Give Roads Fair Chance
to Prove 1t Is Unwise

law was passed in 1920 has it
been possible for the railroads to
earn in any one year such net
income as the law suggests would
be reasonable. No intelligent per-
son imagines that private CAPT
tai will continue to furnish the
immense sums of money that will
be required to maintain good and
adequate rail service during the
next decade, unless there be an
assurance of reasonable returns
upon the investment. And salts
factory service cannot be pro-
vided without the continued ex-
penditure of vast sums OF new
capital as the years go by. Sue
would be the case under govern
ment ownership and, more than
likely, in larger sums than would
be required under private owner
ship, for the government has
never yet been able to do a detl-
mite lob of this character as
cheaply as private capital can 90
it. :,
"While it is true that rail traf-
fic has been greatly reduced in
recent years because of the bust
ness depression, it is also uni
versally admitted that much Of
their business has been lost to
competing agencies of CONNER
cial transport, which have been
carrying an ever-increasing
amount of traffic. These ager-
cies are subsidized through taxa
ton and their operations have
been regulated by the federal
government. They are, there
fore, a law unto themselves,
while the railroads are prevented,
by federal regulation, from pro-
viding effective competition. That
this method of interpreting the
transportation law is unfair to
the railroads is not denied by
the well-informed. Co-ordinator
Eastman himself recommends in
his report that all forms of COM
mercial transport be regulated by
the federal government and that
the railroads be relieved of soma
regulatory provisions they are
now forced to observe.
'For years the railroads have
been losing transcontinental traf-
fic to the boat lines using the
Panama canal, for the reason
that they have been unable to fix
a through rate that would COM
pete for this business without
lowering their rates on all inter-
mediate traffic. This they can
not do and continue to serve the

the coordinator's Recommended
"Wbat the railroads ask is that
they be placed on an equality
with other forms of commercial
transport, so far as regulation is
concerned. That all transport ag-
encies be similarly regulated, not
only with respect to those en-
gagged in the same particular serv-
ice, but with respect to their re-
lations to each other and that all
subsidization of transportation
agencies through taxation be
abolished, and each form of
transport be required to paw all
the cost of its own service. They
do not ask that the commercial
buses and trucks build their own
highways, but, in lieu of this,
that they be required to pay an
adequate rental for the public
highways which they now use.
The railroads also assert that it
is not fair for the government
to engage in the transportation
business, as it now is on some of
our interior rivers, thus Compel

in the same business.
"With these things done the
railroads will have a real oppor-
tunity to come back under prl-
vate ownership, and thus render
forever unnecessary the invest
ment of billions of government
to purchase railroads. And.
in view of the fact that govern
ment operation of any industry
has never proven satisfactory,
this is a desideratum devoutly to
be wished"

WICHITA, Kans., April g.
.The settling of our transporta'
ton troubles through the pur'
chase of the railroads by the gov,
eminent has been made one OF
the major economic problems the
people of this country must solve
during the next few years." said
C. d. Morris, assistant to the
chairman of the Western Rail
ways committee on public rela-
tions, in an address before the
Farmers COOPERATIVE Gram
Dealers association, in annua!
convention here yesterday. "With
the history of government owner
ship and operation of industry"
continued the speaker, "fresh in
their minds it is inconceivable
that the people would support
such a proposition at this time,
and most of US had come to the
conclusion that this matter had
been permanently set aside. How
ever, in his annual report to the
president and congress, Coordi-
nator Eastman gave it as his
opinion that the ultimate solution
of our transportation problems
must be government ownership.
Mr.. Eastman did not recommend
that government ownership be re-
sorted to at once. Such a thing,
in his Judgment, would be too
much of a strain on government
credit just now. He recommend
ed, therefore, that private owner
ship be continued for a few
years, in the hope that it may be
able to Justify itself.
obviously, the most practical
method of preventing govern
ment ownership of railroads, pro-
viding such a catastrophe is i'm
would be to afford the
roads a fair opportunity, under
private ownership, to prove that
such an ultimatum is unnecessary
and would be unwise. The law
under which the railroads are
now operating" continued the
speaker, twas intended to en-
courage and assist private owner
ship, but the Interpretation of
that law and it's enforcement by
the interstate commerce commits
sion has served to restrain and
handicap the railroads rather
than to help them. If, then, pri-
vate operation is to prove iusti-
fable, our present method of in
terpreting and enforcing the
transportation law must be radi-
cally changed.

SET Up LITTLE
GOVERN ENT'
IN ANTARCTIC.
"AristOcracy OF Skill In
augurated; Byrd Starts
Lone Vigil

LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctic
April 3.-(By Mackay Radio 10
the United Press A miniature
government in which the class
distinctions of civilized society
are ABOLISHED in favor of an at,
istocracv of skill" was established
by the Byrd expedition yester-
day as Rear Admiral Richard +.
Byrd took up his lonely vigil at
the worlds SouthermOSt weather
observatory.
Byrd, who has been left alone
in the tiny hut under the snow
plains where he will spend the
next seven months gathering sell
entific data, left behind the
rules under which the so men OF
the base camp will govern them
selves.
an a sense our status here is
primitive" the leader wrote.
s'The humblest work takes on lm-
portance that | hope you will al
ways remember. We have no class
distinctions as in civilization.
What a man does at home does
not count at Little America. He
who may have failed elsewhere
has a chance to make good. Here
he will be judged not so much by
the position he holds as the way
he plays the game and does his
job" =.
In outline, the government of
Little America is as follows:
First, The expedition leaders,
chosen because of their scientific
skill and experience in Polar life.
Second, A staff of IA men,
with authority to initiate and act
upon camp activities.
Third, The rank an dfile of the
expedition. each to have an equal
voice in matters affecting his
welfare and equal rigtSS under
the laws of the little common
wealth.
The staff, largely composed of
veterans of the first expedition,
has, i'm addition to legislative
power, the authority of veto over
orders of the leaders. A veto re-
Ouires a twO-thirds vote of the
staff. A touch of sentiment en-
tered into selection of the staff
when Byrd appointed Finn Rom,
son of the eldest member of the
first expedition. Had Martin
Rom been alive and able to make
the second trip into the Ant
arctic, Byrd said, he would have
been a member of the staff.
In announcing the plan under
which the expedition will live
while he conducts a scientific eX-
pertinent he deemed too arduous
and dangerous for any of his as
sistants, Admiral Byrd advised
his men:
work industriously on obtain
ing the date called for in the
scientific program. Make full
plans and preparations for the
spring and summer operations.
Make and abide by strict rules
for safety with especial refer
encc to fire, the rISH Cf being
lost in storms or falling into a.
c-cvaSse.
''Fire is the greatest hazard of
all. In undertakings of this kind
the conservation of food, fuel.
clothing and shelter becomes of
vital importance. Strict orders
regarding rho conservation -
fuel will re issued and enforced.
every man in the camp has
an equal right with every other
man TO Re treated Justly and
fairlv and the officers are re-
uueSted to hold this feet ALWAYS
in mind. Discipline must be strict
hut unnecessary restrictions
should be avoided"
