THE OREGON -DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, T TUESDAY,' SEPTEMBER 5. 1916. : DEBATE IN SENATE REVEALS NEW VIEWS ON UBOROUESINS Congress Can Establish a Standard of Wages, as Well as Hours, It Is Argued, ' EIGHT HOUR LAW IS TOPIC Gsrgl Csnstor Contend Xsrolattons ' as i VifH and Kstss Would Ittm. ; lasts GoTsrnmsnt Owner hip. Washington. Sept. 5 (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) Ths railroad striks question, suddenly thrown upon congress, quickly devel oped a debate In the senate that went tar beyond the discussion of tempo rary measures to deal with the exist ing situation. . Questions of extending regulation to Include questions of 'wages and condi tions of employment were quickly uruugni 11110 uie jjuo ui nc, blxiu buiiiv rather surprising expressions heard tfOth as to the power and policy of ongresa In dealing with problems of railroad control. Senator Hardwlck of Georgia de clared that congress can give the Interstate Commerce commission au thority to regulate salaries of railroad fflclals and wages of men under the same power that regulates rates. He argued that this should be done, and that every factor entering Into railroad operation should be an element In the extermination of wages. "Congress Can Establish Wages." Senator Cummins of Iowa balked at this. Congress may have power, he aid, but it cannot be delegated to a commission. Hardwick Insisted that eongressTcsn establish- a standard of "Just and reasonable" wages, the same as done with rates, leaving the duty Of making adjustments to a commis sion. Cummins would riot concede that standard of "just and reasonable wagea" can be established, because, he aald. "there Is no such thing." The Georgian replied that he had no doubt of it, because the question in ach case is a standard of service. Norrls of Nebraska suggested that it may be desirable. In extending the powers of the commission, to direct that the allowance and commission paid by railroads to their fiscal agents be fixed b government authority, and Hardwick Agreed. Borah of Idaho .wanted to know If such a planwould not be a great step toward government . ownership. Hard wick said he thought it was, Just the opposite, and perhaps the only action t prevent governnftnt ownership. The great vice of government ownership, he argued, is in operation, and by leaving operation in private hands, while rgu luting rates and wages, the objection often made against adding hundreds of thousands to the government pay rolls will be avoided. Would Name Commissioners for Life. ,' Jones of Washington thought It might be well to appoint members of the Interstate Commerce commission for life, po they would not be subject to politlil influences. He said one of the greatest blows ever aimed at the commission was the publicity cam paign conducted to influence the com mission to act favorably on the applica tions of eastern railroads for an in ciease in Vates. Hardwick was one of those who ffught the child lab,or bill on the ground that it stretched the regulatory power of congress beyond the breaking pclnt. To find him maintaining the right of congress to delegate power to a commission In regulation of railroad salaries and wages, and battling with Cummins to sustain his point Is an in teresting development. 1 The strict constructionist on one WnAnent-A I nrx. lntn ' IIKnral ........... . tionist on another, so an appraisal made one month cannot always be counted final.
