ELECTRIC TRAIN
SETS RECORD

Railroad and Government Of.
ficials today hailed the feat of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
electrified train yesterday as sig
mailing a new era of railway speed.
The 269-mile round trip run
from the Capital to Philadelphia
was made in 212 minutes by the
new train, it was revealed today.
The return run to Washington
was made in l hour and so min
utes, clipping one minute from the
record of steam locomotive
which rushed pictures of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh's New York
reception to the Capital.
Other records fell before the
power onslaught of the electric
locomotive. From Baltimore to
Washington-40.1 miles-only 80
minutes were required; Chester,
Pa, to Baltimore, 81 miles, was
made in 81 minutes.
The average speed for the en-
tire trip was a fraction over IS
miles per hour. The highest speed
was 102 miles per hour.
Regular service on the line will
start between February 10 anC IS,
railroad officials declared today.
Freight service is expected to start

ANEW ON GIFTS
IDterna tiOnal News Service

Postmaster General Farley was
flayed before the House yester.
day for giving away special
sheets of stamps worth, to col
lectors, thousands of dollars.
They cost Mr.. Farley only a
few dollars, but because they
were special autographed sheets,
not perforated, they command
high prices in philatelic circles
it was asserted.
Representative Millard (R), of
New York, read a letter from
George r. M. Ewing, stamp col
lector, of New York, declaring
an imperf sheet of the
Mothers Day issue had been Of
fered to the Scott Stamp and
Coin Company, of New York for
$4,000.
Mr.. Farley gave this sheet to
friend, it is charged.
Mr.. Millard, himself a stamp
collector. is author of a resolu-
ton before the House Post Of.
flee Committee, demanding Mr..
Farley name Post Office employees
who had distributed imperforate
stamps through irregular channels
and to whom and at what price
the stamps were issued.
The Winchester County, N. Y,
Chapter of the Philatelic Society
to which Mr.. Millard belongs
has called upon President Roose,
welt, a fellow philatelist, to m
tervene personally and "save the
integrity of American philately,"
Mr.. Millard declared.

ADM. PEOPLES
QUESTIONED ON
WORK RELIEF
International News Service


Senate fighting over President
Roosevelt's $4,880, 600, 900 works
relief bill got a brisk start today
rs the appropriations committee
called before it for questioning
Admiral Christian ]. Peoples,
Treasury procurement officer.
The full membership of the
committee gathered as considera-
zion of the big measure which
hands the President nearly five
billion dollars with no strings
attached began. The Republican
minority of eight members. firmly
hanited, launched fight to curail
presidential power in spending
The fund, and the IA Democrats
with few exceptions formed a
phalanx which hopes to jam the
measure through virtually as it
now is drafted.
With the important Democratic
victory embraced in decision to
hold all the hearings behind closed
doors already won, all indications
pointed to committee approval of
the measure within 10 days time.
The fighting will come out in the
open only when the bill is brought
into the Senate Chamber proper.
and there it is likely to be hot and
heavy.
Not only the Republicans as a
body, but a fierce if small minor
ity of the Democrats, are bent
upon forcing administration forces
to accept notifications. Such
progressives as Senator Couzens
t(R) of Michigan, such Democrats
as Senator Carter Glass of Vir-
ginia and others, make up this
fighting opposition.
The forces opposing the bill as
now drawn do not object to the
huge sum nvolved-indeed some
of them think it should be larger
but are unalterably opposed to
the power grant in it.
Consequent to this feeling, Re-
publican members of the Appro-
priationS Committee fired at
Admiral Peoples today, and will
continue the barrage throughout
the hearings, dozens of questions
as to just how the administration
expects to expend the money.
Once the bill comes to the Sen
ate floor, vigorous efforts to cur
tail the proposed presidential
power will get underway.

A national institute of industrial
medicine to protect the health Of
American workers was proposed
recently at the meeting OF the
American Public Health ASSocia-
ton in Milwaukee. by DR.. Henry
H. Kessler, medical director OF
the New Jersey Rehabilitation
Commission.
The working group must not be
looked on as a special class, DR..
KesSler said. For today it forms
the larger part of our entire pop

farmers of the country. the aver

years less than the average mem

The United States used to be
considered the most unmuSical OF
enlightened nations, but now the
most musical country in the
world. This fact. already admitted
by European observers and grad
ually becoming recognized in this
country, finds significant proof in
an analysis of radio programs
scheduled for 1885.
More symphonic and chamber
music, more famous artists and
music ensembles were heard over
the networks during 1885 than
ever before in history. This fact,
combined with the reports Of
those who book concert artists and
musical organizations that the
number of concerts to be given in
the United States this season
shows a marked increase, reveals
that more art music is being heard
by Americans and more money is
being spent for art music in the
United States than by any coun-
try in the world.

CONSERVATIVE
NEW DEALERS
SHELVED
By J. EARLE MOSER


Emergency workers at the De.
partment of Labor who do not
have Civil Service status but
whose politics are along conServa-
tive lines have been turned into
forgotten men" by the recent
union split at Labor, it has de-
Veloped.
The trouble originally started
when Civil Service members OF
Lodge IL. A. F. G. E., became
fed up with the somewhat radl-
cal tactics of most of the emer-
gency workers who hold mem.
bership in the union. The Civil
Service group, numbering more
than 100, withdrew from Lodge
IL in a body and few days
later formed a new unit, Lodge
228.
This split apparently left the
New Deal radicals, or liberals as
they prefer to be termed, in full
command of their own destiny
and of Lodge II. Not so, how
ever, for a small number of mem
bers remain who do not believe
in the theories of their fellow
New DealiStS and would have pre-
ferred to go along with the old
liners into the new Lodge 228.
This they cannot do, as the old
liners have inaugurated a rule
that only folk with Civil Service
status may join them.
AS one young, conservative New
Dealer put 1t:
"We're in a pale pink lodge
and can't get cut of it, so
guess we'll have to stay and
form the oppositiOn!"
