LABOR'S REQUEST ANSWERED
President Believes That With

for Wage Settlement.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Presi
dent Wilson signed the railroad bill
tonight on the eve of the return of
the roads to their owners and to
private control.
In a proclamation issued at the
time the bill was signed Mr. Wilson
vested in Walker D. Hines. director
general of railroads, virtually all
powers conferred upon the executive
by the bill. Jfr. Hines will also con
tinue to exercise the duties of di-rector-geYieral
which are continued
beyond the return of the roads to
private control at midnight Sunday.
The White House also-made public
the text of the president's reply to
a recent request of representatives
of the railroad brotherhoods that
he appoint a commission composed !
equally of employers' and employes'
delegates to consider wage demands
made by the brotherhoods. It deals
wholly with the wage demand settle
ment, proposals end does not refer
directly to the memorial later pre
sented by the brotherhood heads ask
ing that he veto the railroad bill.
Announcement Is Surprise.
Announcement of the signing of
the bill came after officials had be
come convinced that Mr. Wilson did
not intend to act tonight
In his letter, Mr. Wilson said the
passage of the railroad bill "made
it evident that I could not act on
your suggestions until it should have
been determined whether the bill
would become a law or not."
"It was manifest," the letter con
tinued, "that if the bill should be
come a law the negotiations and con
sideration of the wage matter ought
to proceed in harmony therewith.
"The bill having now become a
law, the way is open for immediate
action on the wage matter in accord
ance with the terms of the bill. Sec
tion 301 of the bill evidently con
templates that the carriers and em
ployes should, as suggested by you,
j-elect representatives who will thus
constitute a bi-partisan board for the
purpose of attempting by conference j
to agree upon a solution or this
wage problem.

240, 000 Miles of Main Trunks.
Terminal and Equipment Return
With $715,500,000 Deficit.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. At 12:01
A. M., Monday, the government will
hand over to their owners 240.000
miles of main line railroad and ter
minals and equipment, valued at ap
proximately 20,000,000,000, over
which Its direct authority has been
extended since December 28, 1917.
The properties will go back, leaving
the government with a deficit of
$715,500,000 for its 26 months of op
eration. But while the deficit ap
peared large, "federal operation has
cost the public considerably less un
der the conditions, through rates and
taxes, than would have been the case
under private control," Director-Gen
eral Hines declared in .a statement.
Hines Cites Benefits.
Mr. Hines believed that the na
tion. and railroads as well, gained
benefits of a lasting character.
"It made practicable a war trans
portation service which could not
otherwise have been obtained," he
said. "Its unification oractices have
increased ihe utilization of the inade
quate supply of equipment so that ex
ceptionally large transportation serv
ice has been performed in the busy
periods of 1919 with a minimum of
congestion; it met the unprecedented
coal strike in a way which private
control could not have done and ab
sorbed a heavy financial loss on that
account which would have proved
highly disturbing to private control;
it provided more additions and better
ments and equipment than private
control could have provided during
the difficult financial situation of
war-time; it dealt fairly with labor
and gave it the benefit of improved
working conditions which were clear
ly its right; it not only did not cost
more than private control would Jiave
cost during the same period, but cost
considerably less on account of the
economies growing out of unifica
tions and the total burden on the pub
lic through rates and taxes on ac
count of railroad costs was sub
stantially less than would have been
necessary if the railroads had re
mained in private control and rates
had been raised enough to preserve
credit.
Imnlmenla Are Protected.
"u Protected the investments on the-
iirvciucai nnereas wunoui
federal control those investments
would have, been endangered; and it
turns back the roads to private con
trol functioning effectively, with a
recjrd of exceptional performance in
an exceptionally difficult winter, de
spite the disruption caused by the
coal strike and in a condition to func
tion still more effectively with nor
mal improvement to be expected in
weather and in other conditions."
The railroad corporations will start
their work with an important psycho
logical asset. Air. Hines said, pointing
out that the public holds to rigid re
sponsibility any agency performing a
public service, "without regard for
the difficulties of the situation." He
declared the company officials resume
direction of their properties undei
"the most favorable possible condi-'
tlons of public sentiment." They also
may lay plans for the future, he said,
and put into effect permanent or
ganizations, things the railroad ad
ministration could not because of un
certainties of its tenure, and for lack
of which the work "has been con-
SpicuousIy and progressively embar-
rassing.'
Work Still to Be Done.
The railroad administration still
will have a definite worn to do after
the roads are returned. In addition
to providing transportation service,
it has been charged with administra
tion of contractual relations between
the government and the roads, Mr.
Hines explained. The government was
obligated to pay $917,000,000 annual
rental to the corporate owners. This
and the other fiscal relations which
involved the purchase of great quan
tities of supplies and equipment, will
require a continuation "f part of the
railroad administration indefinitely.

THIRD-TERM HOPE CHERISHED
Miracle of Restoration to
Complete Health Wanted.
BELLICOSE STAND TAKEN
Executive on Partial Recovery De
termines to Show World He Can
and Will Be Dominant.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.
(Copyright by The New York Evening Post
This is an effort to reduce to at
least a degree of understandable or
der that tangled chaos which is the
democrtaic presidential situation. It
was tangled enoush at best; it has
been made much more chaotic by the
signs now coming from the White
House every day of extraordinary
activity on the part of the president
Mr. Wilson's sensational dismissal
of Mr: Lansing has been universally
Interp-eted by Washington as merely
one of many signs of the president's
determination to show the world that
he has the power both the physical
power resulting from Improved health,
and the will as well to reassert him
self as president and as party leader,
with all that the leadership implies;
n short, the impression is that the
president not only feels that his health
is better, but has an angrily bellicose
determination to show the world that
he is able to be dominant and that he
proposes to be so.
Illness Hits Third-Term Mope.
Inner Washington believes that the
only thing that stands between the
president and candidacy for a third
term is the state of his health, and
those consequences which flow from
the state of his health. Inner Wash
ington pictures the president in his
carefully guarded seclusion and the
president's intimate entourage as hop
ing always for the miracle that would
restore him to the health he haT a
year or two ago.
And no one doubts that if that sin
gle qualification were fulfilled, that
if the president should, once feel that
he had his health fully back again,
he would immediately assert the lead
ership that goes with his position
and determine to lead his party in
the coming campaign.
Inner Washington believes that this
miracle will not happen. But inner
Washington is equally sure that the
president himself is led to hope that
the miracle will happen. A (sick per- I
son is always encouraged to entertain
that hope by those who attend him. It
is helpful to his recovery and the
natural thing to do. About the last
thing that is admitted by a sick man
or by those who are attending him
is any intimation that'he will not re
cover fully. Quite properly all of
their efforts are locussea on creating
(precisely the contrary impression in
the patient's mind
Aitplrations to -et Shock
But whatever the hope of those who
are immediately about the president,
whatever optimism they may en
deavor to incite in the patient as a
legitimate aid to his recovery, inner
Washington is confident that the
president will not be permitted to be
a candidate for a third term. If the
president should fail to make this de
cision for'himself, inner Washington
believes the public wil make it for
him.
The public has an accurate impres
sion that the president's illness has

PICTORIAL COMMENT BY

Commission Will Function Through
1 Tidewater Coal Exchange, Re
stored for That Purpose.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Coincident
with the signing of the railroad bill
tonight. President Wilson issued ex
ecutive orders providing for contin
uation of the powers of the fuel ad
ministration, but dividing them be
tween the director-general of rail
roads and a commission of four. Director-General
Hines will retain Juris
diction over domestic distribution,
while the commission will handle
bunker and export coal matterB.
The commission will be composed
of A. W. Howe, Rembrandt Peale,
F. M. Whittaker nd J. F. Fisher. It
will function through the Tidewater
Coai exchange, which is restored for
that purpose, having been suspended
before the resignation of Dr. Garfield
as fuel administrator.
The order creating the commission
is effective until April 30 next
The order said the action was taken
"because of the present emergency
and in order to insure an adequate
supply and equitable distribution, and
to facilitate the movement and to
prevent, locally or generally, scarcity
of coal."
The second order, investing Mr.
Hines with the powers of fuel ad
ministrator, so far as domestic dis
tribution is concerned, said doubt had
arisen as to whether he could con
tinue toexercise those powers after
the return of the railroads to private
control. A new order was, therefore,
executed, extending Mr. Hines' au
thority beyond the date of the return.

ON SOME EVENTR
Overt Act on Part o
Grimm Not Shown.
PLOT TESTIMONY BAR STAYS
New Attempt at Self-Defense
Tactics Rebuffed.
PROOF TO BE GATHERED
I. W. W. Attorney Declares Incrim
inating Testimony Will Be Pro
duced Despite Delay.
BY BEN HUR LAMPMAN.
MONTESAN'O, Wssn., Feb. 2$.
(Special.) Complete failure of the
defense to show an overt act on the
part of Warren O Grimm, victim of
the Centralia Armistice day ambus
cade, or to link his name with the al
leged conspiracy against the radicals.
on which the plea of self-defense is
based, marked this day in the trial of
the ten I. W. W7 defandants who are
arraigned in superior court for the
crime.
According to a previous rul'ng of
Judge Johr M. Wilson, the defense
must first show that Grimm was a
party to the conspiracy, or the at
tack, before It proceeds with proof
that Centralia business men engaged
ill a plct to evict the radicals from
their hall and the city.
Testimony Fall to Incriminate.
George P. Vanderveer, attorney for
the accused, had declared that this
would be accomplished and had named
today as the period in which the in
criminating testimony would be pro
duced.
Witnesses for the defense, who took
the stand' today, were questioned in
an attempt to show that Grimm was
near the 1. W. W. hall when wounded,
and not at the head t his platoon as
the evidence of the state declares. But
the testimony for the defense thus
far failed to identify Grimm as bav- I
ing been among the legionnaires I
whom the I. W. -W counsel declares
raided the hall before the shots were
fired.
State Renews Objection.
Having presented the testimony of
these witnesses, Vanderveer called
Elmer F. Kirkland, ticket agent, Cen
tralia, and again took up the line of
examination relative to a meeting of
Centralia business men on October
20 at which it is alleged the plans
were laid to "oust the wobblies."
At the first question the state re
newed its objection asserting that no
evidence had been introduced which
linked1 Grimm either with the alleged
attack or the alleged conspiracy. Van
derveer replied that the line of ex-
abination would be the same that he
undertook yesterday, when the court
ruled.
"The objection is sustained," said
Judge Wilson.
Overt Act Held JVeceaaary.
"We have introduced some evidence
that Warren Grimm was shot at a
very different . point than the etate
contends," opposed the I. W. W. at
torney. "In orden. to introduce this char
acter of evidence," ruled the court,
"you must first show an overt act on
the part of the deceased. You must
show that the deceased was a party
t the alleged conspiracy. Such evi
dence, in my opinion, you have not
yet introduced. The court will not
permit this argument in the presence
of the jury." ' .
Again the attempt rested with the
promise of Vanderveer to bring for
ward witnesses to prove beyond dis-

IN THE WEEK'S NEWS
Work of John D. Ryan in Charge
of Aircraft Production Is
Highly Praised.
NEW YORK, Feb. 28. The position
which America held at the close of
the war as moral leader of the world
was relinquished when the country
"lost Its nerve." said Secretary of War
Baker at a luncheon today of the
Brooklyn chamber of commerce.
"We made reservations until the
moral leadership passed." he declared.
"Keservatlonists have no sense of pro
portions. They forget they are deal
ing with the fate of mankind. Our
adhesion to the league' of nations is
what will save the world."
"On March 4. 1921." Mr. Baker con
tinued. "I expect to be inaugurated
in private life; and what I say is said
as one who is leaving public life.
The secretary said that, while he
had no complaint to make of commit
tees investigating war expenses, "It
would not be wise to take too seri
ously some of the things emanating
from that source."
"When they assault the reputation
of men who have faithfully served
the republic I am forced to hope that
grateful sense of Americans will pre
vent these shafts, aimed by malice,
from injuring anyone," he declared.
I have in mind John D. Ryan, who
worked eo faithfully for the Red
Cross, and who later was director of
aircraft production, I cannot speak
too highly of Mr. Ryan."
Mr. Baker said the war department
will reclaim by sales of equipment in
Europe and this country nearly
13,000,000,000 and that the money will
return to the treasury to "ease the
terrible burden of taxation."
Considerably more than another
11,000,000,000, he added, had been
saved by adjustment of 23,701 of the
27.374 contracts existing at the close
of the war.
LOGGERS GET PAY RISE
Companies Respond to request of
I'oiir-L Assorlution.
BEND, Or., Feb. 28. (Special.) A
new wage scale advancing the mini
mum of $4.80 hitherto paid to $5 a
day, was announced here this after
noon by the Brooks Scanlon Lumber
company and the Shevlin His on Lum
ber company to take effect March 1.
Advances for other classes of labor In
the pine mills are made which will re
establish the differential partially up
set last fall when the state board of
conciliation ruling brought Into being
the $1.80 minimum at the Brooks
Scanlon plant.
The increase was declared follow
ing a request from a conference com
mittee of the Loyal Legion of Loggers
and Lumbermen, which came as the
result of increases recently granted
in the coast mills at the instance of
Four-L action In that district.

by F. K. Coulter, fit her of the re

In a series of resolutions, the Stat
Taxpayers' league assumed the lead,

While this action against the land

motive back of the meeting at the
Imperial, the league went on record
as favoring a series of measures
which will be submitted to the people
at the state election In May, and it
vigorously objected to the pending at

limitation statute.
Attending the meeting wcro repre

Oregon, and there was a considerable
sprinkling of members of tho legis

tho league, painted a somewhat
gloomy picture of the immediate fu
