But congress entered on another «tniggle tlrnt promised to be lively. This was brought on by the submission to both houses of the conference njiort of the railway reorganization bill.

They also object to the financial provisions which labor views as u valldn tlon of water strek nnd guarantee ot abnormal profits. Representatives ol railway Investors said they were satis bed with the financial provisions. Something of a Jolt was ndmlnls terod to the war department by the reiiort of the subcommittee of the nouse which had been In.aitiguting aircraft production nnd expenditures, but the department has had so many such Jolts that it probably hits become callous.
