At tha urgent request -of Di rector-General AlcAdoo Administration leader will make every effort to ex ited 1 1 passage of the measure. Te Senate Interstate commerce com. mirtee voted today to report the measure favorably Monday with amendments limiting Government con trol to IS months after the close of the war and giving the President power to Initiate -ate subject to appeal to the Interstate Commerce Commission. The committee's action was not unanimous. Senators Cummins and La Poilette. Republicans, announcing that they would submit minority reports. The House committee, by a vote of 15 to g. approved an amendment pro viding for termination of Government control two years after peace Is de- clsrsH rhiirman fllmi lte an- nounced that his committee would com-I plete consideration of the measure Tuesday or Wednesday and that he would ask unanimous consent for Its Immediate passage. Fear Aasradaseata Offered. Four . amendment to limit the time of Government control were offered In the House committee. One by Repre sentative Kiel) fixed the time at one year after th war; another by Repre sentatlve Barclay at three years; i third by Representative Parker at IS months, and the fourth by Reprcaent- atlve Montague at two years. Chairman Sims vigorously opposed the two years' limitation as adopted, declaring that It would affect the val uation of railway secdritles. Representative Montague Insisted that at least two year would b re quired for the railroad Interests to ad Just themselves after the war. Those voting for the two years" amendment were Montague.

The Senate committee left unchanged the original provision in the bill fixing the rate of compensation on the basis of the annual railway operating In come for the thre 'year ending on 'June 39. 1 1 7. and the iiouse commit tee also la expected to agree to this provision, which wa suggested by the President. Amendments forbidding increased compensation to roads based on Lheir earning or surplus accrued during the period of Government control and put Into the property were accepted. The section authorising the President to purrhas and construct canals waa amended so aa to permit only of their utilisation. The section providing for an appro priation of tioo.ooo.voo to be used as a revolving fund from which to pay any deficiencies that may result or to pro vide for additional facilities wag re tained by the Senate committee- Tha fund would provide the Government with working capital for tha operation of the roads. r.srller Ret ar PrwvMed Far. In providing for the termination of Government of control 1 month after the war. the Senate committee further amended the bill so aa to authorise the President, if in his opinion necessity for further control should terminate, to relinquish supervision over all roads before that time. Discretionary power to determine up to July 1. 11. wnat roads are nec essary In th Government operation plan also Is placed in the President, but sfter that time h could not exclude from Government control any road without it consent. The amendment authorising the pres ident to initiate ratea permits an ap peal either by the carrier or shipper to the Interstate Commerce Commission, which la to Inveatlgata and determine their fairness. This section and the one fixing the time of Government control were blt- terlv debated In th committee and. owing to the wide differences, an ad justment was effected only after tb questions had been submitted to a sub committee.

SEATTLE BOOM DIFFERENT 'Continued From First Psge.). iudustrles are not spending their earn ings on real estate. They are putting them into safety deposit vaults that portion they do not lose on tbe street or Invest In liberty bonds. It is said that there is not a vacant deposit box to be obtained in all Seattle. There was in other days the man with the get-rlch-quick scheme. There is no chance for him in this boom. The proletarian is getting rich fast uouch to suit himself without calling in assistance. The place, where dollars once flowed over the bar and exhilarating refresh ment was taken In return is no more. And In this connection, it may be said, the dance halls and other dens of vice that aroused the Ire of General Green and caused the ban on Seattle for (Camp Lewis soldiers was prob ably merely a concession to hungry spirits that could see no other way of getting in on the worker's prosperity. These dens were not there particu larly to catch the dollar of the unwary soldier. The soldier gets but a dollar a day; perhaps he allots half to depend ents and puts $6.50 or so a month Into war Insurance. Tbe soldier was just small fry. He had only a dollar or two to spend. Real Flh la Shipyard. The real fish waa tha fellow who was getting 6 a day up in the shipyards or in the ship fitting shops. It waa not the soldiers spending money that caused Seattle to clean up and make It possible to lift the ban. It was the sentiment that cut deep, and Seattle is proud. Soldiers now get over from Camp Lewis, a few on Wednesday when the soldiers have a half day off. and another few on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Leavea from a cantonment are harder to v obtain than from an Army post. Hence on sees probably no more soldiers In Seattle than one does in Portland. In the absence of a real estate move ment, saloons, dives and other drags upon accumulated savings, the ones in Seattle who are profiting most from the unprecedented Industrial activity are the established merchants, the own ers of smalt rental residences, proprie tors of rooming-houses and owners of safe deposit vaults. It may be a healthy activit', but It does not seem like a real boom to one who has seen other booms. As already Indicated, it has brought down some troubles on the head of Seattle. The most pressing, quite likely. Is the transportation problem. The 20.000 or more workers In the ship yards pour out at quitting time upon- First avenue, the sore artery that leads up town whence other carllnes extend this way and that into the. residence districts. Car Service Demoralised. First avenue is a sort of defile that cannot adequately take care of the swarm uf workers. Streetcars run on an average of better than one and one- half a minute in the rush hours. Men sm-arm all over themi They pay fares if they feel like It: If they don't feel like It. the company can go somewhere and sneexe. Probably the company gets most of the fares In the long run. for most of the men must transfer uptown,'! but the Jam of car demoralizes service throughout the city. Serious, conserva live citizens assert that the traction system has broken down. Vet, with its overload of fares, the traction company has appealed to the Public Utilities Commission for tbe right to Inaugurate a -cent fare, and the City Council is preparing to combat the application. Tbe company's case, as those vho speak for the company state It, is that It cannot use all Its equipment because It cannot get platform men to operate all its cars. It has other equipment on the way and haa no prospect of being able fully to utilize it. It cannot get platform men. because Its wage scale Is below the going scale in employ ments requiring a similar degree of skill and training. It cannot raise wages, because a 5 -cent fare does not yield enough revenue. It cannot pro vide additional trackage or loops or other means of handling traffic, be cause It cannot get the. money, and It cannot get the money because Its revenues do not Justify further invest ments. Maar Solution Offered. There have been conferences held by various Interests in which several forma of relief have been proposed. One is operation of ferries from the shipyards to the uptown docks: an other la an elevated railway system; ft Beautifill Snow and the Overcoat JUST as we were congratulating ourselves that King Winter had passed us by, lo! he comes and leaves his card on every doorstep leaves as well a Northland crispness in the air that sends us scurrying along the streets with quickened step and brighter eye. If the hitherto mild weather made you hesitate about buying a new Overcoat, you need 'wait no longer. You'll find here overcoats in abundant variety of fabric, pattern and model overcoats that laugh at King Winter, even though he send an icy blast from the very portals of the Northland. Tomorrow, then, men come in and let me show you the exceptionally attractive and worthy coats that I can sell you at $15 $18 $20 $25 --Overcoats are shown on the third floor. Let the elevator bring you up. BeHSelliiie Morrisoa'alRioikQ another is operation of steam trains on the railroads during rush hours. Ona might think that there! would be resort to Jitneys. But jitneys are few1 in Seattle. There is a state law re quiring' a $2500 bond the same bond that is required by city ordinance in Portland. A tew rattletraps are operating as "free -buses" and thus avoiding tbe bonding law; a few ethers seem to have secured bonds. One would reason that a pronounced traffic congestion would make it pos sible for bonded jitneys to operate profitably. But it has not worked that way. It may be that there is more money to be made at other employ ments. Still, while the traction com pany is short of men. there are said to be 1500 laborers waiting for jobs in the shipyards, and on the other hand, there are women driving taxicabs and there ' are women elevator operators In several office buildings and depart ment stores. Whatever may be said of the street car company's other plaints, the labor shortage so far as it is concerned, seems to be actual. Men obtained stay with the company but a short time. A period of service on the platform en titles one to a union card and a card gives a man a better chance of em ployment in the shipyards. The com pany has become a clearing-house for shipyard workers. Its older employes spend much of their time drilling new men. who get off their routes and oth erwise, out of greenness at the work, blockade traffic still further. Disci pline among the company's employes has deteriorated. Stories are told of motormen smoking cigarettes while on duty and of occasional drunkenness among conductors. These are but storirs told to me. My own observation of discipline and effi ciency is confined to that obtained on the one streetcar ride Into an unfamil iar part of the city. The motorroan of whom I inquird a direction, was par ticularly courteous and well informed. He was even so accommodating as to point out the most sheltered part of the open platform, for. a cold north wind was blowing. Pertinent Unery Raised. Naturally there Is some speculation as to why, when the streetcars are so crowded with passengers; why, when It is necessary to change the opening time of places of business so the usual rush .and the workers' rush, will not occur at the same hour; why, when so many nickels are rolling in. the com pany cannot afford to .pay better wages, thereby get more men and operate more equipment. There is without doubt a boom on in Seattle, but as already written It is like no other boom that Seattle ever heard of.' Those who have the money are wary, and there are a lot or lnsti tutions. like the traction company, that think they should by rights 'get more of it thsn Is coming their way. For my part I would not ask any thing better than a monopoly of snuff in the present state of affairs in the city of Seattle. Wave Engulfs Two Children. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb.. 2.
