MOVE ID ABOLISH
RAIL LABOR BOMB
GAIK SUPPORT
RY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Lensed Wire to The Journal.)
(Copyright. 1824.)
WASHINGTON, March s.—Organ
ized labor has lined up solidly be
hind the Howell-Barkley bill which
proposes to abolish the United States
railroad labor board and substitute
■for it a board of mediation and con
r ciliation.
Hr lends of President Coolidge have
been saying in the last few days
that he would veto the bill but there
,is a general misunderstanding about
its provisions, and if it should pass
both houses of congress a veto may
"be said to be doubtful.
The writer erroneously slated a
few days ago that the Howell Bai k
ley plan would eliminate the repre
sentatives of the public and leave
. the railway disputes to be decided
by th© interested parties. The truth
-is the representatives of the em
ployers and employes will alone qon-
. stitute, the membership of the four
- national adjustment boards which
to settle grievances and con
flicts of interpretations on rules.
. But the principal body, to be known
K*s the board of mediation and con-
L filiation, will consist of five mem
.bers, all of whom will represent the
public.
This is directly in line with the
recommendation of the late Presi
dent Harding. At present, the rail
road labor board consists of three
•representatives of the railways, three
of labor, and three of the public.
Gives Impartial Judges
This means that three men, rep
resenting the public, usually have
the deciding vote as almost invaria
bly the parties at interest influence
the votes of their representatives. To
cure this weakness, the representa
•tives of the employers and employes
'will appear before the board of
mediation as advocates and pleaders
.for their respective causes and the
.judgment will be rendered by five
impartial judges.
♦ The four national adjustment
boards are not to assume jurisdiction
over disputes unless the employers
or employes make application. This
- means that if the so-called company
unions and the railroad employers
can adjust working conditions and
Wages between themselves, the ad
justment boards will not come into
the picture at all. There are certain
'company unions which are objecting
jlo the Howell-Barkley bill on the
ground thaf it is unnecessary, but
‘the advocates of the measure say
that a long list of labor organizations
■ do want such tribunals and the bill
; • proposes to give them the machinery
■ for adjustment which they seek.
The Howell-Barkley bill combines
many of the features of the New
lands act, the Erdman act and the
present transportation act. It has,
however, introduced one important
change which has been the basis of
opposition by railway employers. It
prohibits the employer from inter
-1 sering in the selection of representa
tives or from controlling the organi
’ zations of employes so as to dictate
♦ the selection of employe representa
tives. This has been inserted to over
-come the embarrassments encounter
bed by the present United States rail
« Toad labor board in determining ex
■actly who actually represents the em
ployes on certain railroad systems.
It is the outcropping of the old fight
between national labor organiza
tions like the American Federation of
•Jjabor and such unions as have been
i postered by the Pennsylvania, railroad
.for its own employes. > On the Penn
‘ rsylvania nobody can represent, the
-workmen in a. dispute, except persons
factually on the Pennsylvania’s pay
i «roll.
Lost Basis of Opposition
f The principal weakness of the pres
ent transportation act has been the
-failure of the parties at interest Io
T-orm the local adjustment boards
i /provided by law. These organizations
Were left to voluntary action by the
and employes. Under the
> Howell-Barkley bill, the adjustment
‘ boards would be government, institu
, tions, and therefore the minor griev
ances and disputes which have idled
thigh the cases before the United
; States railroad labor board would be
♦ .diminished because they would, so to
speak, be settled by the lower tribu-
ffials.
■ One of the objections to the bill,
•’said to emanate from the White
♦House, is the appropriation of $500,-
000 for the expenses of the new ma
-1 chinery. The proponents of the bill
I point out that $400,000 is now being
spent under the transportation act
i and that the additional SIOO,OOO is
good insurance against another rail
road strike, particularly since the
' jlast one is estimated to have cost
government about $2,000,000,
while the railroads are known to
have spent many times that sum
themselves in fighting it.
The proposed bill provides about
SIOO,OOO for the maintenance of the
hoard of mediation and conciliation,
thus saving between $200.0’00 and
$300,000 over the cost of the present
labor board, which saving would be
expended in the expense of the four
national adjustment boards. Fully
$500,000 is appropriated annually by
congress for the interstate com
merce commission, so, relatively
speaking. the amount needed to keep
peace between railways and their
employes is not as large as the sum
needed to regulate disputes between
the railways and shippers.
Several of the railroads arc luke
warm in their opposition to the bill
but certain roads which have always
fought the present labor board and
Its decisions are working tooth and
nail to beat the bill or force a presi
dential veto. It looks as if some ac
tion will be taken on it before ad
journment, or a filibuster against ad
journment may be started for the
Democrats and insurgent Repub
licans are in the main in sympathy
with the proposal.

GEHL ASSEMBLY •
OF PRESBYTERIANS
PM TEXAS MEET
CHARLOTTE, N. C., May 6.—Thel
i commissioners, representing a mem-|
j bership of 428,292, constituting the
sixty-fourth general assembly of the
Presbyterian church in the United
States, will meet in San Antonio,
Tex., May 15, and the general assem
bly will continue in session untjl
May 22.
The outstanding business of this
assembly will be the consideration
of annual reports of the executive
committees of foreign missions,
home missions, Christian education,
and ministerial relief, publication
and Sabbath school jwork, the report
of the assembly’s committee on stew
ardship, that of the woman’s auxil
iary, of the permanent committees,
and the report of the reports of sev
en ad interim committees. In addi
tion, consideration will be given to
100 or more overtures, coming from
individuals, presbyteries and synods,
touching different phases of the
work of the church.
The action of the general assem
bly of 1923 in authorizing that three
women be placed on each of the
four executive committees has been
the subject of discussion during the
year, and the probability is that at
least several overtures will seek to
have the assembly of this year re
consider that action, which may pre.- f
cipitate heated discussion on the j
floor.
Other matters expected to be dis- I
cussed at length before the assein- ■
bly will be the proposed change in i
the church year, which would cause ;
the church year to conform to the I
calendar year instead of extending
from April 1 to March 31, as at pres- '
ent; matters of controversy relating
to the theological seminary at Nan- ;
king, China; the question of the best i
plan to be followed in the election
of members of the assembly’s com
mittee on stewardship; overlapping I
territory of the Presbyterian church i
in the United States: questions which :
will be involved in the report of the I
ad interim committee on closer co
operation of the home and foreign
mission committees, and matters pre- |
sented in the report of the execu
tive and stewardship committees
and other channels.
The report of the standing com
mittee on the narrative and Chris
tian life and work is awaited with
particular interest, as it includes |
the number of members added to I
the church on profession of faith I
during the year. The addition of ,
more than 23,000 members, reported
last year, was the largest number,
except one. in the history of the
church. The goal of 50,000 for the
past year was named by the assem
bly’s stewardship committee and
special effort has been made in the
I churches to obtain that number.

CHICAGO, May 6.—The ashes of
Duchess, ninety-year-old Lincoln
Park zoo elephant, which dropped
dead Sunday, will be spread on the

EIGHT I MELLON
PBOBE ABWMH
GT SENATE CHIEF?
WASHINGTON. May 6.—The
fight over investigation of the inter
nal revenue bureau and Secretary
Mellon was suddenly resumed on the
senate floor today, with Republican
organization leaders indicating thpv
were not disposed to further object
to continuation of the inquiry.
Senator Watson, Republican, In
diana, chairman of the special in
vestigating committee, told the sen
ate he had “no present intention of
ever pressing’’ the resolution he pre,
sented some time ago, designed to
end the investigation.
This statement was made soon
after the senate had taken up the
resolution by Senator Jones,* Demo
crat, New Mexico, a member of the
committee, which would authorize
the employment of special counsel
and “such other agents as the com
mittee deems necessary.’’
Won’t Press Fight
Announcing he had “no objection
to passage of the Jones resolution,”
Senator Watson added, when ques
tioned, that h 0 had no intention of
pushing the fight to close the com
mittee hearings which he had pre
viously condemned as designed sole
ly to further a personal controvers.y
between Senator Couzens, Republi
can, Michigan, and Secretary Mel
lon.
Both the Watson and Jones reso
lutions resulted from the action of
Senator Couzens in securing com
mittee approval for the employment,
at his personal expense, of Francis
J. Heney, as committee counsel.
Secretary Mellon called this action
to the attention of President Cool
idge. who on April 11. sent the sen
ate a special message advising it to
keep its committees within constitu
tional limits. Since that time the
committee hearings have been sus
pended because of the illness of Sen
ator Couzens, who is in a Baltimore
hoisital.
The Jones resolution, which was
designed to legalize the employment
of Heney by providing for payment
of his fee by the senate instead of
by Senator Couzens individually,
came up today under a unanimous
consent agreement.

FIXED COMMITTEE
FOR FDRTI CHiGED
MOILS HEADING
WASHINGTON. May 6.—A charge
that Representative Madden-, chair
man of the house appropriations
committee, had promised C. H. Hus
ton, president of the Tennessee Riv
er Improvement association, that
“he would see that all members ap
pointed on committees dealing with
the Ford offer will he favorable to
it,”'was made by Chairman Norris
at the Muscle Shoals hearing of the
senate agriculture committee.
Chairman Norris read what he
said were the minutes of a meeting
of the association on March 29,
1923. as follows:
“He made a short address after'
his acceptance of the office of pres
ident, in which he stated that the
majority of the members of con
gress and of the senate were very
decidedly in favor of the acceptance
of Mr\ Ford’s offer during the firs!
session if the house rules had al
lowed it to come to a vote.
(“He stated that in the next session
of congress, Mr. Madden, chairman
of the committee, will take care to
see that all members appointed on
committees dealing with the Ford
offer will be favorable to it, so that
the question may be put to a
straight vote before both houses of
congress and the senate. He had no
tear of the result.)
Paragraph Confidential
“The paragraph in brackets was
in confidence, and he requested the
representatives of the press not to
make it public.”
Representative Madden later de
nied that he planned to have placed
on the agriculture committee mem
bers favorable only to Ford's bid.
“There is not a single word of
truth in the statement” Mr. Mad
den said. “I never gave anybody
the authority to make it. I have not
the power to make committee desig
nations.”
W. G. Waldo, representing the
Tennessee River Improvement as
sociation and favoring Ford’s bid,
declared before the senate agricul
ture committee that he did not be
lieve new bids now coming in should
be given the consideration that
Ford's offer should.
* “It is simply a sweetening up of
some parts of the bid and looks like
a reflection on tne sincerity of those
making the offers,” Waldo said. Sen
ator Norbeck, Republican, South Da
kota, suggested that some of the
bidders’ finances might not have per
mitted the offering of a bid three
years ago.
New Bids Cause Delay
Waldo declared the new bids were
delaying settlement of the question
and Senator Norfieck countered
with a charge that Ford supporters
had blocked for one year the dis
posal of Muscle Shoals in an at
tempt to force acceptance of the
Ford bid.
Chairman Norris said all bids of
them would be given equal consid
eration, and Waldo expressed the
opinion there were only two solu
tions for Muscle Shoals —Ford's bid
or government operatic"
Waldo elaborated bn rec t testi
mony against placing Ford’s bid un
der the jurisdiction of the federal
water-power ’•'*■. saying:
“If attempt is made to apply fed
eral water-power act in Alabama you
wiTl find Alabama in the courts
fighting it as is being done in New
Jersey now.”
Senator Johnson, farmer-labor, Min
nesota, asked if any attempt had
been made to develop navigation on
the Tennessee river or had it been
“blocked by the railroad trusts.”
Waldo said nothing had been done
“because it was under the federal
government” and in reply to Chair
man Norris he said he had no better
solution to offer.
Farmers Seek Help
Farmers in the northwest, he said,
“were going broke and they did not
feel like helping people in other
parts of the Country” until they
themselves were helped.
Waldo said fertilizer production at
Muscle Shoals would more greatly
benefit the public than would power
distribution, and added that Ford
would “revolutionize the fertilizer
industry if it needs revolutionizing.”
Waldo, in reply to Chairman Nor
ris, denied that the Tennessee River
Improvement association had devot
ed all of Its time since organizing
to efforts to have Ford’s bid
accepted.
Chairman Norris then read what
he said were the minutes of a meet
ing of the association on March 29,
1923. quoting a speech m. de by C.
H. Hurston, president of the asso
ciation, stating that Martin B. Mad
den, chairman of the house military
affairs committee, “would see that
favorable action was taken on the
Ford bid at the next session of con
gress.”
“You are not connected in any
way with Ford?” Norris asked.
“Not in any way.”
Norris then read a eltter on Ford
Motor company stationery to Wil
bur A. Nelson, state geologist of
Nashville, quoting R. T. Walker, of
the Ford Motor company as saying
a process had been referred to
Waldo, whom the letter referred to
“as one of our technical staff.”
Written Through Erro •
Waldo said that letter was writ
ten through a misunderstanding as
he had been studying processes for
Ford, but was in no way connected
with the firm.
The letter to Nelson said:
“In reply to your letter of October
24 to Mr. Henry Ford, which has
been referred to this office for atten
tion, relative to your process, would
advise that we have forwarded same
to our Mr. W. G. Waldo, 205 Third
street, southeast, Washington, D. C..
who is one of our technical staff
and is investigating matters of this
nature for us.

DF ROBERT E. LEE
DIES IN BICHMDND
RICHMOND, Va., May 6.—Fu
neral services for Mrs. Mary Tabb
Bolling Lee, widow of Major General
W. H. F. (“Roonie”) Lee and daugh
ter-in-law of General Robert E. Lee,
will be held from Saint Paul’s Epis
copal church at 4 o’clock tomorrow
afternoon. The body then will be
taken to Lexington where brief serv
icse will be conducted in Washing
ton and Lee university chapel and
interment made in the mausoleurp
where the body of the Confederate
leader is resting.
The flag of the White House of
the Confederacy here was at half
mast today in respect to the mem
ory of Mrs. Lee, who died last night
in her suite at a. local hotel. The
United Confederate Veterans, Sons
of Confederate Veterans, Daughters
of the Confederacy, the Confederate
Memorial Literary society and other
southern organizations also were
planning to pay proper tribute to
the dead.
Mrs. Lee came here about three
weeks ago from Summerville, S. C.,
where she had spent the winter.
She appeared to be in her normal
health but last week she developed
a weakness which gradually grew
worse until Saturday, when her son,
Dr. George Bolling Lee, of New
York, announced he feared his
mother would not survive the night.
She lingered, however, until 10:25
o’clock last night when she quietly
passed away.
Mrs. Lee was born in Petersburg,
Va., on August 20, 1847, the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Boll
ing. She was married to “Roonie”
Lee in Petersburg in November,
1867.

CHIEFTAINS ANGLE
FDD INSURGENT AID
AS TAX VOTE NEARS
WASHINGTON, May s.—The lines
in the income tax reduction fight be
came more clearly defined In the
senate today as the second day of
debate on the provision in the reve
nue bill got under way, with lead
ers of both parties still negotiating
for support of Republican Insurgents
who hold the balance of power.
Some of the Insurgents have de
clared against any reduction in the
present maximum surtax rate of 50
per cent. As a result, Democrats
have anticipated receiving their sup
port for the Simmons plan, which
calls for a maximum surtax of 40
per cent as against 25 per cent rec
ommended by* Secretary Mellon, and
approved by finance comittee Repub
licans.
With the issue developing prac
tically to a straight party proposi
tion, however, Republican organiza
tion leaders have expressed hope of
working out an agreement similar
to the schedule adopted by the
house.
This placed the maximum surtax
at 37 1-2 per cent, and was support
ed by Republican insurgents of that
chamber when the normal rates
were cut below those provided in the
Mellon plan. Some of this bargain
ing has been made on the basis of
Republican organization support for
the McNary-Haugen farm bill in re
turn for insurgent and farm bloc
votes for a Republican income tax
schedule.
Leaders of both parties are striv
ing to dispose of the entire measure
this week, but the probable loss of a
full day tomorrow in consideration
of resolutions dealing with the in
ternal revenue bureau investigation
have somewhat dampened their
hopes.
