Asks Congress to Extend Au
thority to the War Finance
Corporation to Settle With
the Railroads.
THIS WOULD
GET RESULTS
The President Declared and
Would Not Be Securing
More Money From
th(
Government.
(By Ike AWwHatea Preaa.) ,
Washington, - Jiily 20: President
Hiii'dlng. in a special message to Con
gress toda'y asked It to extend authori
ty of the War Finance Corporation to
purchase securities probably up to
j.VMUHMI.OOO now 111 the hands of the
railroad administration; so; that 'the
prs-eeds inny lie used for settlement
with the railway.
Tliis," the President told Congress,
would open the way to "early adjust
ment and relief, of the railroad proli
lem. There was no thought, he said, of
asking Congress for additional money.
Railway claims based on the "inetli-
ciencv of labor" during the war. the
President said, were fo he waived for
the present to hasten the settlement
without the surrender of any right in
courts. Althongli the railways owe
the government-large sums, the Pres
ident said the government also owed
tlie rnllroqds large smns on previous
account.
"No added expense." said the Presi
dent, ."or added investment is remilr-
There is no added liability, no added
ed on the part ,' of the government,
tax burdens."
"It is merely tlie grant of authority
necessary to enable a most useful and
efficient government agency to use Its
available funds tn purchase securities
for which Congress has authorized the
issue, and turn thein Into channels of
finance ready to float them
"The contract covering operation
provided that tlie railways should be
returned to thp owners In as good con
dition as when taken over by the gov
eminent, add the trausisirtatioii act
sinus as tlie railway companies owed
the government for. Iicttermeiits and
new equipment, added during the gov
ernment oiH-ratioh niiglit. lie funded.
There has lieen at no time any ques
tion about funding of such Indebted
ness. Indeed it has been in progress to
a measurable degree ever since the re
turn of the railroads tn'the owners. It
has been limited, however, to such cas
es as those In which final settlements
have bcn effected;.. The. process Is ad
mittedly too slow to meet the situa
tion which the owners of the railroads
have lieen filling and I lielieve it es
sential to restore railroad activities
and essential to the country's good
fortune-tn hasten both tlie funding and
settlement."
COURT OF INDUSTRIAL
RKLATIOS A SUCCESS.
This ig the Opinion of Governor Henry

- (Mr tk aclt rraaa.t
Topeka. Kan., July 25. 'After a
year and a half -of operation, the f'l
ture of the Kansas court of industrial
relations seems assured. Go. Henry
J. Allen declared In a statemert to
day. "Each of the twenty-eight orders and
judgements of the court rendered thjs
far has been accepted by both sides of
tbe controversy, excepting the last
which is now pending on appeal before
the state Bupieme court," Governor
Allen said. "Employer and aruploycs
alike are coming to regard the court
as an up-to-date method for settling
industrial dispute.
"Tbe result In the coal mining dis
trict has been most striking . Under
conditions created by tbe industrial
court last year, the miners were en
abled to work 30 per cent more than
the year before, with the resultant in
crease In production of fuel for the
public and wages pf the miners.
"Interest in the Kansas remedy lor
industrial war is -becoming world-wide.
The pressing need for similar legisla

the lead of Kansas tn providing for
justice In labor troubles." -
