PRESIDENT VETOES CUMMINS BILL ON RR. RATE-FIXING . Refuses to Restore Power to Interstate Board While U. S. Controls Lines. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—Prest- Ment Wilson to-day vetoed the Cum- mins’ Bill restoring to the Interstate Commerce Commission rate-making power. Under Government railroad control the President has had the power to make rates, ani did mgke several re- Visions upward, The Cummins Bill would have forced the President, through the Railroad Administration, to go before the Interstate Commerce ce jssion just as the railroads thethselves had to do before Federal control, | “This bill," said the President's mes- Sage, “deprives the Government of the United States, while still charged with the exclusive responsibility for | operating the railroads during Fed- eral control, of any power to make any change in any !ntra-state rates, fare, charge, classification, regulation or practice without having first se-! cured the approval of the proper State regulating tribunals, whereas under the Federal contro! act as originally enacted the Government of the United States has the same power to deter- mine the imtra-state matters as it had to determine similar matters of an inter-state character. It_is the policy and practice of the Ratiroad Administration, which | I heartily endorse, to secure as far 4a practicable the full benefit of the duggestiong of the State authorities, both as to intrastate rates and as to Jocal interstate rates, but in the last analysis, while the Federal Govern- ment ie solely responsible, it seems to me that entirely independent and! final power as to a large portion | of these vital matters should not be transferred to the respective States.” its pre-war eed Eresident said the immediate of the proposed law would be | tp deprive the Federal Government | % the ability “to cope promptly and | lecisively with operating emergen- | efes which are now arising and must continue to arise during the extat- ing period of heavy traffic,” RAILROAD EMPLOYEES AVERAGE $141 A MONTH Under U. 5%.

Shortly after 11 o'clock 100 police- men under Inspector Cornelius }halane arrived and chased all the |wpectators back to the pedestrian paths. A number of G. A.

Great crowds cheered the young visitor ‘all along the way. Henry W.
