menting Upon Report
Washington, Feb. 21. Railroad ad
ministration estimates place the net
to the government of federal
control of the railroads at $626,000,
a00, Chairman Esch of the interstate
commerce committee, told the bouse
today in opening debate on the con
ference report on the compromise
railroad bill.
'. "This (636,000.000 will have to be.
charged off to war loss," he said.
"One may say it was expensive, but
It was worth the price. Without the
railroads, transportation would have
(ailed to supply our troops overseas"
Appropriations Big
Total' appropriations of approxi
mately $1, 900,000, 000 including those
. already made, were the "experience
of federal control," Mr. Esch said,
but he added that of these amounts
approximately $1,250,000,000 were
"investments" in the form of Improve
ments made for the roads and for
which they ultimately will pay.
Defending the work of congress in
framing: the railroad legislation, Mr.
Esch said there had been "no slack
in?." The conference compromise, he
said, came before the ho.use today
virtually seven months after the com
mittee began hearings. The compro
mise bill, he asserted, was the orig
inal house bill except "one substan
tive proposition" by which a rate ba
sis is fixed with earnings in excess
of six per cent on railroad valuation
being divided between the earning
carrier and the government for the
latter to use for weak roads.
Referring to present "financial
straits" of the carriers, Mr. Esch
snid that prior to government opera
lion only 60 percent of the roads
earned dividends and parti interest
Private Failures Cited
"During federal control 108 of the
lis class one roads did not earn in
terest," he added. "In 1916 the. roads
lacked sixty million dollars of pay
ing" interest ou their indebtedness.
"Fifty percent of the roads in this
country woud go into the hands of
receivers In three months without
the government guarantee," Mr. Esch
declared, "and I want to warn vou
that receiverships for railroads means
receiverships for Industrial enterpris
ejfand other business."
The short lines, he said, had' been
fairly and generously dealt with, add
lg that if they suffered, the people
they served and trunk lines would
suffer.
Details of the three hundred mil
lion dollar revolving fund were ex
Plained and the chairman brought
smile by announcing that provis
ions for free passes for railroad law
yers, doctors and others stood as
Tieretofore.
"I expect this one question has giv
en members of congress more actual
concern than the most important pro
visions of the conference report." he

Accompanying the letter to the pres

railroad men recently sent to members

Congress Criticized.
"In our analysis of the labor pro
visions of the act," said the letter, "we
have set forth reasons, coupled with
our years of practical application and
experience in negotiating wage adjust-
ments, which to us seeni sufficient to,
warrant the definite conclusion that
the congress has not proposed a meth
od of procedure acceptable at any time
and entirely inadequate to meet the
present situation.
"We feel sure that you can agree
with us to the extent that there is little
likelihood that congress will be able
to reach an agreement that wll Unsure
a prompt disposition of the question."

Hearst Bond In
Injunction Case
Is Set At $10,000
Washington, Feb, 21. Associate
Justice Bailey of the district supreme
court today fixed at $10,000 the bond
to be given by William Randolph
Hearst, in his Injunction proceedings
against the shipping board to prevent
the sale of the thirty former German
liners.
Counsel for the board said .the gov
ernment's only expense in connection
with the sale was $26.28 for circulars!
sent to shipping Interests. There was
no regular advertising, they said.
At the request of government coun
sel, Justice Bailey deferred signing tne
original Injunction until Tuesday so
counsel might confer over the terms.
The Justice also reserved decisions on.
a request of the board that the steam
er Kewanee, which has been sold for
$2,000,000 be excluded from the order
of Injunction.
speech made by him before the Port
land Labor Council, January 8, 1920.
In support of his contention that
he has been grossly abused and libel
ed by a portion of the Portland press,
Keeley points out that all of these
papers gave full publicity to attacks
made on him because of his efforts;
to force a large lumbering concern to
adequately remunerate a widow whose
husband had been killed while ln
thf concern's employ.
The attorney finds cause for com
plaint against some members of the
Portland press for failure to give pub
licity to his suit against the Portland
daily.
Keeley ln his complaint takes spec
ial umbrage at the assertions embod'
ied in the third and fourth para
graphs . of . (he Orasoftian's article. He
contends that the inuendo of the al
leged libelous attack Is found in the
following lines:
"Keeley wanted the council to ad
opt one of the major planks In the
platform of the un-American com
munlst labor party by amending the
constitution to prohibit any person
holding an elective or appointive of
fice from holding any office In the
Central Labor council or from serv
ing on any committee of the council.'
"According to the Labor Press
Keeley, by actual count, talked 3!
times In support of his motion, and
his address is said by those present to
have been as fiery and as surcharged
with radical ideas as were the most
radical orations of Joseph Laundy,
now under Indictment for criminal
syndicalism; Uharles Saunders, re
cently deported to Canada as an un
desirable alien; Floyde Hyde, now un
der arrest as ft "red", and otn?rs who
at times have led th radical forces on
the floor of the labor council."
In regard to the Dlbbern case, Kee
ley asserts that the company had
made a small settlement with the
widow on a "take it or leave it ba
sis" and that he took the case and
forced it to the point where a set
tlement had to be made. He claims
that the persecution to which he has
been subject was instituted in a vic
ious attempt to retaliate for his Inter
ference In the unfair situation.
Another paragraph upon which
Keeley leads up to his action for dam
ages, because of the alleged miscon
struction of the news source, is cap
tioned by a. sub-head which reads
"Motive is shown." The Portland at
torney alleges that this is one of the
most vicious portions of the article,
antlne on all cases now under obser
vation, as well as those heretofbtu re
ported and which have not been re
ported as cured.
Police Committee Orders
The orders of the police committee
Instruct Dr. Pomeroy to place all
homes and other living places where
Influenza exists under the strictest
quarantine and allow no persons to
break the quarantine existing on Buch
buildings. The rules to be followed
will be the same as In the case of
smallpox and scarlet fever and are
based on the city ordinance covering
the Isolation of contagious diseases.
The action of the police committee
comes as the result of complaints
and rumors that the quarantine has
not been enforced and that the con
tinued prevalence of lnflhenza here,
though In a mild form, Is due directly
to the free coming and going of per
sons from the houses and rooms ln
which Influenza exists. Numerous
complaints have been made to mem
bers of the committee that persons
attending influenza patients at night
have been mingling freely with oth
er persons In offices, stores 'and oth
er places of business during the day
and attending the theaters and other
places of amusement.
, Fine Is Provided
The orders put into effect today
will make the breaking o Influenza
quarantine an offense punishable by
a fine of from 5 to $100, snd will
be enforced to the letter. Additional
help to handle the situation is being
recrujted by Dr. Pomeroy and each
case will be taken care of as fast as
It Is reported. The quarantine period
will be from the time of incubation
to such time as the patient has ful
ly recovered, probably from three to
six weeks. Aside from the attending
physician, no person will be allowed
to enter or leave the quarantined
premises. Before lifting the quaran
tine ln any case the premises are to
be thoroughly fumigated.
That the city has the full power to
enforce such regulations as are an
nounced today under the provisions
of ordinance 483, sections 2, 8 and
14, Is the opinion given today by B.
W. Macy, city attorney.
It Is also pointed out in making
the announcement that all cases of
Influenza must be reported by phy
sicians to the health officials under
the provisions of the law.
Cooperation Asked
Cooperation of the general publics
in enforcing the edict Issued today ia
asked by Dr. Pomeroy, who points
out that there are perhaps cases of
Influenza existing In the city where '
no physician has been called, owing
to the lightness of the attack, and
the only means of checking up an
them Is to have them reported by
persons who hear of them.
In reporting cases people are ask
ed to make the report in writing,
giving their names and addresses,
which will be observed as confiden
tial by the health officials. All cases
reported ln this minner will be In
vestigated at once, but no action will
be taken o nanonymous reports.
About 70 cases In the city are be
ing placed under the quarantine baa
today,
