THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON. N. C FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1918. TEN. AT LEAST PARTIAL ! BIELASKI TO QUIT RAILROAD MERGER SECRET SERVICE Such Women Just Should Be Made Regardless Of Future Status. Interstate Commerce Commission De fines Its Attitude on Railroad Question Although Announc ing Ho Proposals. 3 Resigns and Expects to Enter Private Business. Ha Been With the Department of Jus tiee Sinee 1905 and Supervises Gov ernment's Bigrieest Secret Ser- vice Force. . Washington, Dec. 5. Regardless of whether railroads finally go back to private management or remain in the hands of the government, radical ehanges should be made in their meth ods and theories of operation to provide & partical merger under some sort of -government regulation, the Interstate Commerce Commission says in its an nual report made public today. The commission believes the time is not ripe to recommend concrete pro posals for legislation relating to the I future policy toward railroads, but 1 says whatever be the nation's decision, there should be provision for complete unification of the railways in war time, partial merger in ordinary times, limir tation of railway construction to pub lic necessity, and systematic encourage ment of the development of inland waterways, and their, coordination with rail carriers. In other words, the Commission is opposed to restoration of the old con ditions of individual compstition, in which pooling of traffic was forbidden by law, and to the building of new lines without proof to the government that they are economically necessary. If it is finally decided" to restore rail roads to private management, says the commission, there should be legislation o permit their cooperation, emancipa tion of railway operation from financial dictation, government regulation of security issues; clearing away of the existing twilight zone between the authority of state and federal authori ties in railroad supervision; efficient use of equipment and common use of terminals. ' On the other hand, if the policy of government ownership should be adopt ed, the principal questions to be con sidered are: The pwee to be paid for the roads; means of preventing the railroads from being made sources of revenue to the government, and also to maintain them as self-supporting; measures to define carefully the re sponsibility of the railway administra tion to congress and other federal and state authorities; guarantees against 'intrusion of partisan politics into rail way management, and creation of a tribunal t osettlement of controversies over railroad matters. Some sort of govenement regulation ds suggested by the commission in con nection with each of the five alterna tives of future policy which may be set forth by different interests in the near future. These alternatives are: Con tinuation of the present system of gov ernment control with private owenship, public ownership with private opera tion, private operation with government regulation and guarantees, complete private eontrol and owneship and com plete public ownership and operation. The report deals at length with the upheaval of railroad relations caused by the war and the government's as sumption of operation, and the rela tions of the Interstate Commerce Com mission to Director General McAdoo and the railroad administration. The commission has cooperated fully with the government management, says the report, but the commission still retains its authority to review rates initiated by the' director general. Railroad valuation work of the com mission, which will become of great importance in case of government pur chase, is proceediig with little inter ference on account of the war. Safety work -has been assumed partly by the railroad administration, but education al work is being continued throughout the country. The commission in the last year has made great strides in seeking to promote uniform rate class ifications, and has undertaken a num ber of other investigations of rates and practices. The commission's statement on the future of the railroads follows: "The conditions, without precedent or parallel, which the war has pro duced now press upon the congress (matters of the gravest national and International concern. "While we do not. deem the present conditions and moment opportune in which to recommend concrete propos als for legislation, we may indicate certain lines of inquiry which muft be pursued in order to reach sound ! conclusions. "Whatever line of policy is deter mined upon, the fundamental aim or purpose should be to secure transpor tation systems that will be adequate for the nation's needs even in time of national stress or peril and that will furnish to the public safe, adequate, and efficient transportation at the low est cost consistent with that service. To this end there should be provision for (1) the prompt merger without friction of all the carriers' lines, facil ities, and organizations into a conti nental and unified system in time of stress or emergency; (2) merger with in proper limits of the carriers' lines and facilities in such part and to such extent as may be necessary in the general public interest to meet the reasonable demands of our domestic and foreign commerce; (3) limitation of railway construction to the necessi ties and convenience of the govern ment and of the public, and assuring construction to the point of these lim itations; and" (4? development and en couragement of inland waterways and coordination of rail and water trans portation systems. "Among the plans which doubtless will be proposed are the following- (1) Continuance of the present plan of rederal control; (2) public ownership of carrier property with private oper ation under regulation; (3) private op eration under regulation with govern mental guarantees; (4) resumption of private control and management under regulation; and (5) public ownership and operation. Additional plans and modifications or combinations of those enumerated might be -listed. "If the policy of private ownership and operation under regulation is eon : tinued, the following subjects will re quire legislative consideration:- (1) Revision of limitations upon united or co-operative activities among common carriers by rail or by water; 2 emancipation of railway operation from financial dictation; (3 regulation of issues of securities; (4) establish ment of a relationship between federal and state authority which will elimU nate the twilight zone of jurisdiction Washington, Dec. 5., A. Bruce Bie laski. chief of the bureau of in vesti gation of the department of justice, has offered his resignation to Attorney-General Gregory. He expects to enter private business. Mr. Bielaski has been at the head of the investigation bureau since 1312 and previously had been assistant chief. He entered the service of the department of justice in 1905 as a workman. He is only 35 years of age and supervises the biggest force of secret investigators in the government service. The precise extent of the service has never been disclosed pub licly. It is understood the date of Mr. Bielaski's retirement is indefinite. Have to "Give Up" A. A. BAI.LfLMl.XE Q,UITS INTERNAL. REVENUE1'- BUREAU Washington, Dec. 5. A. A.

VIRGINIA METHODISTS, START GREAT" CENTENARY CAMPAIGN Charlottesville,- Va Dec. 5. The great centenary missionary drive was opened at the second days' session of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, today with an address by . Bishop Eu gene R. Hendrix, of Kansas City, who reviewed the missionary work done by the church for the past 100 years. He quoted the London Standard as Jiuthor ity for the- statement that the Metho dist church of America isr the church of the future. The bishop spoke in highest terms of President Wilson and members of his cabinet, saying he could get a splendid official board out of the cabinet. Friday will be devoted to a memor ial service in honor of four sons of members of the conference who made the supreme sacrifice in France. Discussing the shortage of men for the ministry, Dr. R. H. Bennet, of Nor folk, said that the drain on young manhood incident to the war was res ponsible. Bishop Hendrix then urged all to use their influence to get men to join the religious movement and enter foreign fields. "Man may work from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done," That's why women are overworked, nervous, all run down, no appetite, and can "hardly drag around." Vinol creates a hearty appetite, strengthens the digestive organs, induces sound sleep, invigorates the nerves, and in this natural manner creates working strength. Jacksonville, 111. "I keep house for my little family, but got into a weak, nervous, run down condition, tired all the time and no ambition. My doctor told me to try Vinol, and in a week I felt like a new person. I am now strong again, look after my baby, and do all my housework.' Mrs. G. H. Lamson. Narragansett Pier, R.I. " I was all run-down, back ached, and tired all the time. I keep house for my husband and four children and could hardly keep around. Finally I tried Vinol and it has restored my health and helped me wonderfully, so I recommend it to others who are in this condition. " Mrs. Hannah Randall. i s EB i - . - For all run-down, nervous, anaemic conditions, weak women, overworked- men, feeble old people and delicate children, there is no remedy like Vinol. Robert R.

Effective January 1, an ordinance passed by the city council may drive Kinston's cotton ex change off Queen street to quieter en virons. It may, but there -are some who believe the thing is impossible. It has been driven off before, several times, but has come right' back each time. The "exchange," as the street market is called, "took up" in front of the "Brick block" when it was known as such, when the new Kinston was in its infancy. It has-outlived the 40 generations of tabby cats on the block, which runs north from Queen and Gordon streets, and all their lives. Time and again municipal officials and the police said that if the market didn't go traffic would have to be di verted to other streets. On busy days the cry of nuisance has been raised against the buyers and planters num erous times. 5 1 Call No. 51 and a Wesvern Union messenger will be sent for your ad vertisement for column.
