I Legislation Affecting Inaterstate Com merce Introduced One Would Let Commission Fix Wages. WASHINGTON, Dec. E. Further rail road legislation suggested by President Wilson at the time of the enactment of the Adamson law will be taken up Friday by the Senate commerce com mittee. Chairman Newlands said today. Measures before the committee Include: A bill to enlarge the membership of the Interstate Commerce Commission from seven to nine and empower It to sit with full authority in groups. A bill similar to the Canadian dis putes act to forbid strikes or lock outs on Interstate railroads pending ef forts by the Federal Board of Media tion and Conciliation to settle differences. A bill which would give the Pres ident power to operate- railroads for military purposes when their functions are hindered. Measures affecting interstate com merce were introduced today by Sen ators Underwood and Townsend, but they probably will not bo considered by the committee this week, faenator Underwood's blU proposes to give the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to fix wages and hours of labor of Interstate railroad employes and au thority to act on its own initiative or on application of the public, the em ployes or the railroads. Senator Townsend's measure would authorize investigation of railroad con troversies, including wages, hours and conditions of employment, by a special commission. If the Senate committee determines to favor the measures It may Influence the investigation of general transpor tation problems now under way by a Joint Congressional committee. Edward F.
