RAIL TURNOVER
MARCH 1 LIKELY
WITHOUT HITCH
Conferees Reported Near
Agreement on Necessary
Legislation.
FAVORED BY CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—A final agree
ment by senate and house conferees on
railroad legislation is near, It was
learned today.
It Is now believed to be virtually cer
tain that the railroad bill will be passed
early next month, so there will be no
hitch in the president’s announced plans
to return the lines to their owners,
.March 1.
The Overwhelming majority of congress
still favors the return of roads to their
owners as soon as possible, despite ef
forts of labor and other organizations
to extend government control two years,
in the hope that the Plumb plan can
then be put into effect.
Republican leaders are determined to
push the railroad bill through as soon
as possible, and to do this some fea
tures of it may be left for later legisla
tion.
Anti-strike legislation probably will
not be In the conference report.
Senate leaders, by a recent canvass,
found that the majority of the house is
still opposed to such action. The plan
for dealing svltb labor, included In the
house bill which was written by the
railroad brotherhoods, probably will be
slightly modified, but It is possible that
ail labor provisions will be eleminated.
The difficulty now between the eon
ferees is on section six of the Cum
mins bill, which provides that rates shale
be adjusted so that the railroads shall
be assured of a fixed return of 5% pet
cent on their aggregate property value,
with the provision that the government
may divide all profits above this per
centage for the benefit of the weaker
roads. <.
The senate conferees are understood to
have agreed to abandon the provisions of
the Cummins hill providing for a fed
eral transportation board, compulsory
consolidation of the lines and possibly
the anti-strike provisions, if the.house
will accept Sec. 6.
The house conferees are working for a
modification of the section and it has
been suggested that a compromise be ar
ranged by not fixing the percentage or
the standard return in the bill, but leav
ing it to the discretion of the Interstate
commerce commission.
The concessions of the senate, it is pre
dicted, will cause the house to accept the
proposal.
Both conference committees have now
decided it will not be necessary to re
turn to the respective houses for further
instructions.
LABOR TO FIGHT
CUMMINS BILL
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—Organized la
bor will fight the passage of the Cum
mins bill, now pending before congress,
•‘to the last ditch,” because the compul
sory arbitration as proposed will reduce
the laborers of this country to servitude,
Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, said in a speech
delivered before the National Civic fede
ration here last night. v
At the same time Gompers voiced a
vigorous defense of strikes as construc
tive factors in civilization, lie said they
were “protests of the working classes
against injustice aud wrongs.”
Keeps baby happy during the daytime, and when “sleepy 9 l 1
time” comes, put a record on the Brunswick and baby will W Ja>
soon be in dreamland.

NEW ADVANCES

ing Prisoners, Moscow Says.
LONDON, Jan. 30.—Red cavalry has
forced passage of the Manytch river val
ley, in southeastern Russia, completely

Re dforces were commanded by Gen.

In the region of Perekep, the com
munique said, fighting is proceeding be
tween the forces of Gen. Nitchesk and

cess.

COPS STEP IN ON
STONE AGELOVER
Forced Her to Marriage Coun
ter With Pistol, Girl Claims.
! CHICAGO, Jan. 30. —George Burllng
j amp, 22, wondered today If that stone age
; marriage custom always worked. It did
I pot for him.
j With a revolver he drove Margaret
| Creger to the marriage license bureau.
! She hesitated, stammered and blushed
. when the clerk asked her name,
i The clerk sent her home to get proof
that she was 18. At home she called the
police. Burlingame went to the police
station.
“Any man with pep would have done
what I did.” he told officers. "Anyway,
the revolver was fixed so it wouldn’t
shoot.”
Price of Coal Lower
Now Than It Will Be
SOUTH BEND, Tnd., Jan. 30.—Coal
prices are lower now than they will
be at any time during the present year
or 1921, Iverson C. Wells, editor the
Black Diamond, declared in an address
before the Indiana Retail Coal Merchants’
association.
Wells predicted that the coal com
mission ■will grant the miners a 25 per
cent increase In wages when the Lever
act becomes ineffective and that this will
boost the price of coal from 65 cents
to $1 a ton. He said the 14 per cent
Increase given tbe miners in the strike
settlement caused an advance of 35 cents
a ton.
STATE PERMITS
RAISE ON COAL
Reaches Agreement With Job
ber on U. S. Price Basis.
Following a report of the state board
of accounts, in which examiners of the
board state that the 25 cents a ton in
crease in the price of coal is not justified,
the state purchasing committee has
reached an agreement with the Frankfort
Ice and Coal company, which supplies
coal for thirteen state institutions, where
by the state will have advantage of the
government price for coal.
The Frankfort company obtains Its coal
from the Calora Coal Company and then
sells it to the ctate. The hoard of ac
counts investigated the expenses of the
Calora company and reached the conclu •
sion that prices being charged were ex
cessive.
The state contract price is $2.20 a ton,
to which the company sought to add 25
cents. The government price is $2.35 a
ton. Thus the state will save tO cents
a ton on its coal as a result of the
agreement. All state institutions sup
plied by the Frankfort company have
been ordered to pay their bills on this
basis.
RAILROADS HIT
$1,000,000 JOLT
Commerce Body Sets Maxi
mum Coal Car Shortage.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—More than
$1,000,000 will be returned to wholesale
coal dealers by the large railroads under,
a ruling handed down today by the In
terstate commerce commission. The com
mission ruled 'that $2, a day is a rea
sonable rate for demurrage for cars.
The railroads in many sections, par
ticularly in New York, had been charging
$3 a day and will be compelled to return
the excess over $2.
The ruling affects principally coal
dealers who have paid large demurrage
charges.
French City Defies
More Children Edict
PARIS,Jan. 80.—The socialist adminis
tration of the town of Str'Our is defying
Millerand’s “more children - ’ proclama
tion and placarded the entire front of
the city hall with birth control posters
urging a baby strike to prevent future
wars.
Gen. Castdlnau, leader of the campaign
for “more and better babies,” Is urging
the authorities to destroy the posters
and arrest the St. Our officials.
High Pay Mechanics
Getting the Brides
CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—The yoke of
matrimony fits better now on the coliar
less neck of the wage earner than over
the white collar of the salaried man.
Marriage license clerks say permits to
salaried men are 2o per cent below
normal.
GROUNDED SHTP FLOATED.
HAVANA, dan. 30.—The American
