At the hearing it was testified that T fare was yielding the Capital Traction Company approxi- mately 9 per cent on-the commission’s valuation, while the Washington Rail- way and ‘Electric is falling short of a 6 Dper cent return.

H ‘Wants to Protect Righ: i “The United States has no intention of seeking for itself or its nationals| a position of special privilege, but it desires to protect its rights and to ure the open door.” Upon concluding this reading Am- ssador Child went on: “This conference may be glad to know that the overwhelming senti- ment of the people of the United States is in favor of this policy. not only as a national policy, but as one | which were it to be adopted by every | nation on earth would be in contrast, | perhaps. to the search for territorial | or other special privileges on foreign | soils. a powerful element in the es- | tablishment of any stable peace, the | foundation for greater equity in the relation of nation with nation and a basis for more progressive economic development of territories.” sequent upon the establishment of the Irish Free State, sets up a trust for | providing cottages for ex-service men in_Ireland.

A privy council and a great seal are instituted for northern Ireland and the imperial contribution of that area is fixed at £7,920,000 for the first two years. A joint exchequer board will then determine the amount of the con- tribution. = The Irish high~court of appeals ceases to exist under this bill and the Irish lord chancellorship is abolished, while a court of appeal for northern Ireland is established by the act.

The request of the Turkish delegates for a neutral zone on Turkey's western boundary has been held up apparently because no nation wants to guarantee peace in any Balkan zone. Ismet Pasha's statement that Turkey desired the powers to guarantee the neutrality of a belt thirty kilometers wide on each de of the Turco-Bulgarian and Turco- recian frontier along thé Maritza river brought no definite decision by the powers. It was evidently agreed that the neutrality question could be dis- posed of later, at the time of the ex- pected discussion on the Dardanelles 3 uestion. - | Women’s Minimum Pay Law Fight Goes Back to D. C. Court. The District Court of Appeals today denied the application of the mini- mum wage board for the allowance of an appeal to the United States Sir~ preme Court from the recent majority opinion of the court declaring un- constitutional the law fixing a mini- mum wage for women. The reason asigned for the refusal is that the decree of the District Supreme Court, from which the ap- peal was taken, is not a final decree.

Representative O'Connor, democrat, Louisiana, spoke for the measure, while Representa- tive Cahn, Ohio, a republican mem- ber of the merchant marine commit- tee which framed it, announced that he would not vote for a bill which, | he asserted, had’ been jammed through the committee. He said its passage would mean the “certain crushing of the republican organization two years hence.” Delivering the principal attack on the bill, Representatdve Davis of Ten- nessee, a democratic member of the merchant ‘marine committee, declared its passage would bring “the worst scandal in the history of the Ameri- can republic,” while Representative Jefferis of Nebraska, republican mem- ber of- the committee, supporting it, asked why Congress “should shy at the mere shadow of the word subsidy, | ‘When it means a saving of $20,000,000 a,year to the taxpayers.” “The republican pafty, under sen- tence of death, is proe®eding to steal something from the Treasury,” shout- ed Representative London, socialist, NewYork, who contended-the govern- ment ought to keep on operating its shlx - / Other mémbers speaking for the bill were: Lehlbach, New Jersey; Chind- blom, Illinois; Johnson, Washington; Parker, New Jersey; Hicks, New York; McLafferty, California, and Snyder, New York, all republicans.
