Under the plan, the Interstate Com- merce Commission would strike to preserve necessary weak or short lines, ultimately bring , about the establishment of a number of strong systems and take necessary steps to promote economy. Better service, simplification and more effective regulation of carriers and the elimination of wasteful compe- tition also are contemplated. “Consolidations are to be author- ized only when, in addition to other prescribed considerations, the public interest will be protected,” Mr. Parker said. “The weak-line problem is un- doubtedly one of the most serious which now confronts us. A large per- centage of our weak lines must be/ continued. We cannot permit the| abandonment of lines necessary to our transportation system. *“‘Although it is not expected that consolidations will entirely remove the weak-line problem, It is certain A Raw, Sore Throat eases quickly when you apply a little Musterole.

Lo HOUSE AIDS VETERANS. Passes Bill Giving Grace to Gow- ernment Workers. The House late yesterday passed a bill fathered by Chairman Lehlbach of the civil service committee allowing flexibility in the ruling regarding the 30-day period in which department chiefs must certify an employe ap- proaching retirement age if he Is eligible for the two years' extension of service. This bill is expected to do a larger measure of justice to veteran em- loyes of the Government, who have Kereloforo been summarfly forced out of their positions by a ruling of the Controller General, because the law was construed as not allowing time for the certification of their fiitness after their retirement age had been reached. ——— e Ship Repair Contract Let. The contract for reconditioning the liner America was awarded yesterday by the Shipping Board to the Newport News, Va., Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co., which bid $1,894,000. She will be ready: in March, 1 for service with the United Lines_fleet The America was % last March at Newport News. The work was done by order of Congress as a sesquicentennial me- morfal volume and is printed as a House document. This work makes it possible for the first time for a stu- dent of the Constitution to obtain all the papers which record the steps in the formation of a united Nation out of 13 independent States. These documents were republished from manuscripts in the files of the Library, from old newspapers and from books long out of print, as well as from more generally known sources. The compilation contains seven dif- ferent sets of notes taken by members during the proceedings of the consti- tutional convention. This convention, presided over by George Washington, at which the Constitution was drawn up and which was marked by frequent wrangles, was entirely a secret ses- sion. Steps Unknown Long Time. For years after the adoption of the Constitution the steps which led up to the finished work were unknown. This condition finally was removed by the publication of the notes of James Madison, one of the delegates from Virginia.

In opening the day's sessions he took occasion to rebuke the carelessness of the member ' who had dropped these notes, stressed that very serfous consequence might | result if the proceedings of the con- | vention became known outside, and finally offered to give the scraps of paper back to the writer if he would come to the deek for them. The writer wisely did not come forward to claim his property. Several Unofficial Reporters. The unofficial reporters, besides Madison, were Robert Yates of New York, Rufus King of Massachusetts, Willlam aPtterson of New Jersey, Alexander Hamilton, James McHenry of Maryland and Willlam Pierce of Georgia.
