RAIL COURT BILL
PASSES SENATE

Washington, d. G. (ILNS). - The
Senate has passed the bill creating a
special five-judge federal court to
speed up railroad bankruptcy and re-
ceivership cases.
No record vote was taken, which
shows that the favorable vote was
certainly in heavy majority; but
several of the opponents struggled
against the measure to the end.
The railroad unions are for the bill,
not as counsel of perfection, but as
help. The committee of six ap-
pointed by President three
labor, Harrison, Jewell and Robert
son; and three speaking for manage
ment, Gray, Clement and Norris, ap-
proved plan much like the one of
the bill.

NATIONAL PURPOSE
CLEAR
(From Woman's Home Companion)

\FEOm w OIHdH > nome ompdHlOHi
The debate over neutrality legisla-
tion and the popular referendum be-
fore declaration of war in part ex-
presses genuine difference of opinion
as to the best way to stay out of war
In part it reveals the desire of cer-
tain types of men who hold places of
power to retain for themselves and
their class the right to decide
whether or not to plunge the nation
into war. And this must not be.
Ever since our soldiers came home
from France we have been cropping
for the road to neutrality. We have
passed several laws, none of them
strong enough and some suspiciously
weak. But the national purpose is
clear-to fix it so that no President,
no small group of men, and not even
Congress, could send our soldiers
overseas again unless the plain people
of America want them sent. And
when ever did the plain people any
where want to go to war?
If the new neutrality act does not
surely protect us against war-mongers
and -blunderers, then Congress
will have to go at it again. And
meanwhile let neither President nor
Congress nor military men nor any
other group dare to defy the real will
of this people, which is to keep our
independence by keeping US clear of
all war and of all commitments to
foreign nations, whatever the preteXt
or the propaganda may be.
