Chicago. Four millions of dollars a

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, but they es
tablished two of the chief point3 for
which they contended Jurisdiction
over 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 engines and as low as 8 per cent
on the higher-paid runs. The average
increase to the payrolls of the rail
roads Is 101-3 per cent

, Washington. Congress has done re
raarkabA well for the pre-holiday ses
sion. Several of the appropriation
bills have been gotten out of the way
of the house and it seems not impos
sible that some general legislation
hiay be accomplished. It must be said
In all frankness that the indications
tare 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
ower sites will concentrate their ef
forts on a bill recently Introduced by
Senator Smoot, which embodies the
ideas set foith by Secretary Ballln
ger in his 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
federation 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.

Portland. "No man ought to be
called upon to answer a charge which
Is not made against him until after
the lapse of so long a time," is the
opinion of Special Prosecutor Heney,
who moved for the dismissal of all
charges against Blnger Hermann, ex
Representative in Congress and ex
commissioner of the general land of
fice. Federal Judge Wolverton dis
missed all the cases.
