western railroads rut in the stocking
of the locomotive engineers. The gifi
brought "peace and good-wltl". anu
averted what might have proved ont
of tin most disastrous strikes in the
history of the country.
Commissioner of Labor Charles P.
Neill played the part of Santa Claus
to the engineers. For seven days he
worked to bring the railroads and the
engineers together. In spite of their
repeated assertions that they had
reached the limit, the managers made
concessions In the face of a threat
ened strike. Concessions were made
by the engineers, also, tut they es
tablished two of the chief points for
which they contended jurisdiction
ever motor-trucks and an Increased
schedule for the Mallet type of en
gine. The increase granted the men
runs as high as 14 per cent on cer
tain serines and as low as 8 per cent
b the higher-paid runs. The average
increase to the payrolls of the rail
roads is 10 1-3 per cent

NEWS FROM THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL
What Our Lawmakers Are Do
ing and Other Interesting
Events.
Washington. Congress has done re
markab well for the pre-hollday ses
sion. Several of the appropriation
bills have been gotten out of the way
of the house and it neems not impos
sible that some general legislation
may be accomplished. It must be said
In all frankness that the indications
are very muh against the supposition
that they do want to do anything ex
cept of course the insurgents on both
sides.
Two things in connection with the
next Congress seem to be pretty well
settled. If he lives Champ Clark will
be speaker and unless there is a radi
cal change in feeling the committees
of the house will be chosen by the
house itself Instead of by the speaker.
Power Site Bill Drawn.
Advocates of state control of water
power sites will concentrate their ef
forts on a bill recently Introduced by
Senator 8 moot, which embodies the
ideas set forth by Secretary Ballin
ger In bis annual report This bill
was prepared Jointly by Senator
Smoot and officials of the Interior'
Department and has proven accept
able, in the main, to all western sen
ators and representatives who believe
that waterpower development should
be regulated by the states rather than
by the national government.
It is too early in the session to de
termine whether or not there Is any
chance for the passage of the Smoot
bill before adjournment on March 4,
but if opportunity presents the
measure will be pressed to early con
sideration In the senate, in the hope
It may be taken up by the house after
the appropriation bills are out of the
way.
Reading Bill Is Coming.
Representative Norris, of Nebraska,
the Insurgent Republican whose reso
lution Instigated the rules fight in the
house last March, will, after the holi
days, introduce the proposed amend
ment to permit reading the title only
Instead of the entire bill, on a motion
to discharge a committee from further
consideration of a measure.
Mr. Norris and other Republicans
have been in conference since Speak
er Cannon rendered bis ruling a few
days ago that on such motions, the
bill must be read In its entirety. Mr.
Norris said the speaker's decision was
wrong.
Crop Reports to Change.
To enable everyone Interested in
the monthly crop reports of the De
partment of Agriculture to realise the
full meaning of the crop estimates in
the growing season, Victor H. Olm
sted, chairman of the crop reporting

Heretofore the crops have been ex
pressed in percentage. Figures repre
senting the condition of each will be
promulgated monthly, as heretofore
and in addition the quantity of the
year's final production, s indicated
by the conditions, will be given.
