Pew here paid any attention to the

a most significant International step.
We have not been on speaking terms

of the league to handle affairs on
this continent. We have a Monroe

Now we -not only speak to the

compelled to deal with the league
on opium or whatnot it was always
made clear that we had our fingers
crossed.
That day is gone.
Rail officials are deadset against
the labor amendments to the pend
ing re -organization legislation. They
have fold their boys in congress that
they would rat,her have the bill killed
than accept the labor clauses.
That makes the situation strained.
The labor officials have already told
their people not to let the bill pass
unless those amendments are in. .
The rail crowd figures It can get
along well enough without the bill.
The roads are beginning to come
back. Reports are around In finan
cial quarters that the Baltimore and
Ohio already Is out of the red.. Oth
ers have improved their position ma
terially. Prof. Berle of the brain trust Is
working on some railroad reorganiza
tion schemes independent of the bill.
He may arrange to put as many
roads as possible through the - reor
ganization wringer. The R. P. o.
rules gives the administration power
to act. That body can and may re.
fuse reorganization loans to roads
charges. Such a course would force
them through a modified bankruptcy
and accomplish the reorganization in
that way.
