TINS IDLE ON

55,000 Commuters In
volved in Tie-Up of
Passenger Trains; Strik
ers* Funds Are Mystery.
New Ytfrk, April 12.— The Central
Railroad of New Jersey suspended all
passenger service at noon today, when
agents were ordered to stop selling tick
ets. The road covers the state of New
Jersey and the suspension order affects
approximately 55,000 commuters.
A notice posted at the Pennsylvania
station announced this forenoon that
"several trains" scheduled to arrive this
morning would not get here "for various
reasons."
The New York Central announced it
was carrying out its full schedule. The
Erie and Lackawanna were completely
tied up on its commuter service. The
Central Railroad of New Jersey ran on
an irregular schedule. Other roads
reported slight improvement over the
last two days.
Thousands of persons were unable to
reach their places of business here
until hours after the usual time, while
other thousands gave up the attempt and
remained home.
The Chicago express on the Erie rail
road, which was abcndoned Sunday at
Port Jervis, New York, while members
of the crew attended a meeting of the
new union, arrived in Jersey City Mon
day morning, more than ten hours late.
The train carried mail and it was pre
dicted that federal authorities might take
cognizance of the delay.
J. J. Mantell, representing the Rail
road Managers organization, said he had
not been able to learn how the strikers
planned to maintain themselves during
the walkout.
"I don't know whether tbey have ac
cess to the brotherhood funds," he said.
"Information has been given me that
the strikers at Syracuse have a fund of
$400,000."

Democratic Minority
Holds Construction of
32 Cantonments Was a
Feat Invoking Pride.
Washington. April 12.— After Ilepub
| lican leaders had denounced and Demo
crats had upheld the government system
of building army camps during the war,
the house Monday prepared for a fight
- - , , . ,
Tuesday on two proposals to deal with (
persons alleged to have reaped rich
profits from alleged extravagance and
waste.
With the investigating committee's
report attacking construction methods,
the Republican majority presented a
resolution directing that evidence ob
tained during the nine months investiga
tion be turned over to the attorney gen
eral with the request that he institute
criminal and civil proceedings. The
Democrats countered with a substitute
resolution, proposing to instruct the
committee to name persons, firms and
corporations "which should be investi
gated" before directing the attorney gen
eral to proceed.
Representative McCullough. Republi
can, Ohio, declared the cry "we won th|
war." had been made to cover many sins,
while Representative Doremus, Demo
erat, Mich. . asserted that "if the supreme
architect of the universe had built these
camps, the bleacher managers would have
found fault with the jobs."
The majority quiz report. pre
sented by Republican committeemen,
criticized government agencies and of
ficials in charge of the war building pro
gram, while the minority report of the
Democrats defended the administration.
The government lost $78,531,521 on
the sixteen national army cantonments,
it was estimated by the majority re
port. which asserted that was due to
"waste, inefficiency and graft," result
ing from cost plus contracts which was
said t have been "wide open."
No Estimate on N. G. Camps.
No estimate of loss on the national
guard camps was made by the majority.
Dissenting from the majority findings,
the minority declared that the construc
tion work was equivalent to between .'52
cities, each with 37,000 to 40,000 popula
tion and added:
"This tremendous task was virtually
completed in three r;onths and stands

Representative McKenzie, Illinois, and
McCullough, Ohio, Republicans, and

committeemen who conducted the in
veatigation.
Urge Grafting Ba Made Treason.
The majority submitted six recom
mendations for legislation by congress,
including the submission to the states of
constitutional amendment making "pro
fiteering in war-time treason."
It was urged that the department of
justice investigate work at every camp.
No recommendations were made in
the minority report, and it is limited to
two features, one condemning the ma
jority report and the other defending
Secretary Baker, who. the majority de
clared, "must bear the responaibility."
The majority cites several payments,
amounting to many thousands of dol
lars, which, it was argued, could legal
ly be recovered by the government from
contractors.
Soldiers Would Have Frozen.
The majority declared Secretary Bak
er should not have permitted a depar
ture from the old method of competi
tive bids.
The minority is of the opinion, added
the report, "that if the views of the
majority should have been adopted at
the beginning of the war, the whole
building program would have been in
a state of chaos, many of our troops
would have perished with cold or died
of disease during the winter of 1917,
and the German army would have been
in Paris before our soldiers could have
got to Europe."

Washington, April 12.— Plans for the

with food transportation are being con

Herbert F. Shenton, acting secretary
of the council, declares that 45,000

motor transport committee of the
