' The debate In the House really made
too action a party question. Republican
Leader Mondell (Wyo.) made it plain
that the Republicans aro willing to
stand back of tho bill as a campaign
Issue, and declared that the question
before tho House was "whether or not
es a party wo arc qualified to legislate
along constructive lines." Democrats
Leader Kltchln (N. C.) urged the mem
bers of his party to oppose the measure
(or the same reason.
One of the surprises of tho day was
tho way that tho labor opposition to the
bill fizzled out. The overt threat of the
labor organizations to oppose In the next
electlbn all members of Congress who
voted for the legislation apparently had
' little effect Nearly nil of the twenty
three Republicans who voted against the
measure were tho so-called labor repre
sentatives, who usually vote as the labor
organizations demand.

Denies Obedience to Gompers.
Democratic Leader Kltchln declared
that the Democrats were not opposing
the bill In response to the demand of
Samuel Gompers or any of tho other
labor leaders, but solely because of the
guaranty provisions.
Representative Each (Wis.), chairman
cf the House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, opened the debate with a vlgo
oua defence of the provisions of the bill
against which tho Democratic objections
were lodged. He nlso declared that it
sow could bo officially estimated that
the total loss to the Government as a
result of Federal control would be
?GJG,000,000.
An appropriation of more than $400,
000.000: In addition to tho 1200,000,000,

' Director-General Hlnes. ho said. If
this Is granted tho total appropriations
will be moro than Jl, 900, 000, 000. as
tho result of tho Government handling
tho railroads, and of this amount It Is
estimated that about 11,250,000,000
renresents Investments. Including bet'
tegmenta and equipment, for which tho
Government will eventually bo reim
bursed.
- $733,000,000 to Go to Roads
Jlr. Each said:
JTho Government's total expendi
tures, for additions and betterments up
to" March 1, when Federal control ends,
amount In even numbers to $1,152,000,
000. The' Government expended $372,
000,000 for new equipment, which In
cluded 100.000 freight cars and 1,900 Io
comotlves, all of which were allocated
to. tho several carriers. Of thla sum
$15,000,000 has been paid In cash by
otno carriers, leaving a balance for
equipment of $355,000,000, which the
Government has expended.

represents what already has been ap
proprlated; add $200,000,000 and It will
make It $1,450,000,000. The difference
would approximately be what I have
already stated, the amount which the
Government must appropriate. This ad

Discussing the machinery to settle
labor disputes, Mr. Each said:
"Thero Is nothing In the conference
bill of an anti-strike or compukwry char
acter. Tho only thing that can be done
by the railway labor board Is .to sub-,
poena witnesses In order to make a
thorough Investigation,
We provide for
a voluntary creation or aajusimem
boards either br a single road or by a
group of roads, by a slnglo railroad em-
ployeca' organization, or by a group oi
railroad employees' organizations, and
these adjustment boards shall have Juris
diction over disputes and other matters
of discipline, but not as to matters of
"wages.
Up to Fnbllc Opinion
"The matter of wages Is left to the
railroad labor board, and this board can
take Jurisdiction of altappeals from ad
justment boards and determine them,
and Its decisions, so far as the machinery
goes, aro to be final. There Is nothing

ting Into effect of the awards of this
railway labor board. It relics for Its ef
fect upon the force of publlo opinion.
and public opinion In this country Is
more effective than tho acts of legisla
tures and more effective than tho de
crcee of courts.
Public opinion, onco directed, as It
will bo by the decisions of this railway
labor board, will result In the adjustment
of difficulties or will discourage the Inl-
tatlon of such difficulties.
"We bcllove that in this bill we have
presented a fair and Just method of ad
justing and nettling labor disputes. Even
a portion of labor is In favor of the plan.
o must pass this legislation or
thero will be no legislation the flnt day

.Mr. Mondell said:
"We are about to determlno wliether

Representative Slma, ono of the two
dissenting Democratic conferees, at

vision of tho bill as fixing "a minimum
wage for the Investing dollar."
Ho characterized thla section of the
bill as "new fangled, socialistic, com
munistic, capitalistic and national
istic legislation." While It fixes a mini
mum wage for Wall street he continued.
It mokes no such concessions to labor or
others than the capitalistic class.
Though tho E per cent net return
is guaranteed for only two years, he
pointed out, the Interstate Commerce

it at 7 or 8 per centl, "and that prob-

Washington, Feb. 21. Congress win

steamships. Chairman Payne of the
Shipping Board said to-day, if the con
troversy which has arisen ovor the pro
posed sale of the .vessels results In leg
islation requiring their repair and oper
ation by the Government
Mr. Payne estimated that $75,000,000
would be needed to refit tho vessels,
which have been In transport service.
Senator Jones (Wash.), chairman of
the Senate Commerce Committee, re
ported favorably to-day the bill pro-"
hiblUng salo of tho ships until Congress
had, adopted permanent merchant ma
rine legislation.
"Theso ships are urgently needed In
our foreign business," the committee re
port sold.
Consideration of the bill will be asked
next week. Senator Jones announced, af
ter the Senators have had time to study
tho suggested International agreement
regarding German shipping sent td the
Senate yesterday by President Wilson.
In estimating that reconditioning of
the passenger steamships would cost
176,000,000, officials of the Shipping
Board said that sum would pot be avail
able from tho board's fund3 because the
1920 estimate of $165,000,000 submitted
to the House Appropriations Commltteo
was withdrawn at tho request of the
chairman. As tho final estimate of the
board's financial requirements for the
coming year did not Include the possibil
ity of refitting the German steamships
the expense would have to be met by
Congress, It was said.
Confidence that the Shipping Board
will bo permitted ultimately to dispose
of the craft was expressed by officials.
An early appeal on the temporary in
junction granted William Randolph
uearst prohibiting the sole Is expected
to result In a lifting of tho legal ban
and careful Congressional Investigation

America has been too much adver

In celebration of Washington's anni

After sketching the struggles of the
Pilgrim fathers for a spiritual ideal and
not a commercial one, Vice-President
Marshall said: ,
In these ,later days when countless
thousands, unacquainted with our

tions, and thoughtful only of our op
portunities, have been permitted to
come to theso shores, one lesson of the
Pilgrim fathers Is worthy of being
tamDcd unon the heart of every lib

a vital principle in the me oi eacn

'The Pilgrims came to Plymouth to
worship God and to make homos, deter

were willing to prosper if It were God's
decree, but above all they came, as
Bradford nut It. 'to llvo a distinct body

to become a body pontic
"Worship God Is First Duty.'
"In theso troublous times, when free
dom of speech Is being used ror tne

Government of the United States, It Is
well to remember that the Government
of the fathers la unfit to survlvo it it is
powerless to prevent unlawful assaults
upon Its authority,
"Whatever you may thlnW about It, I
hold that the first duty of an American
is to worship God not my conception
of what God Is, nor your conception
but God In the large and generic sense
of a great first cVuae, a mighty ruler of
tho uncharted universe. Beyond that
each of ue has the right to clothe
divinity In such garments as suit our
own Judgments and consciences.
"Tho second duty of an American la
to make a home and that s on all lm
Dortant thing. Men do not grow en
thuaiastlc over boarding houses nor over

have lost naught if you have retained

"It Is an unfortunate thing for Anglo-

to use high colors. The enemy must
