Says Some of the Provisions Are "Dreams and Il lusions . ALSO FINDS FAULT WITH ORGANIZED LABOR ' Opposes Underwriting of Roads By. Government as Entrance Into Paternalism Washington. Dec. 9.?Given a re newed opportunity by restoration of the measure to the committee of the whole, senate critics of the Cummins railroad bill today launched a new and heated attack on various provis ions of the legislation designed to /meet conditions incident to the forth coming return of the railroad prop - ?rties. p > Senator LaFollette. Republican, of Wisconsin, and Senator Dial. Demo crat, of South Carolina, led the re newed attack, and their discussion of the bill occupied-virtually the entire session. The result at the adjournment was . that the measure was no nearer pass age. Leaders, however, expressed hope tonight that a final vote would be . r< ached before the end of the week! During the debate today Republican leaders of the senate and house con ferred regarding holiday recess plans, and leaders of the lower branch were assured that there is every prospect of having the railroad legislation sent to conference before the holiday re cess, planned to begin December L'O. Final enactment of the legislation is not probable, the leaders agreed, until after congress reconvenes next month. Confidence was expressed by the con ferees, however, that President Wilson would await enactment of the legisla tion in January before turning back the properties. Director General Hines has com pleted his report to President W ilson on his recent conference with Chair men Cummins and Esch, of the senate and house Gbmmit*ees, respectively. There was no intimation of the infor mation containued in the report. In his attack on the bill Senator La Follette opposed immediate return of the railroads to private ownernhip as impracticable, urged a five-year exten sion of government control and Charged that the pending measure was virtually for the benefit of the rail roads. r The senate tomorrow is expected t< reach an .amendment introduced late today by Senator Myers. Democrat, of Montana, eliminating provisions au thorizing two employes and two rep , - reseatatives of the public to be mem bers'^ the boards of directors of each railroad company. <i The railroad bill was opposed in - the senate today by Senator Dial. Democrat., .of South Carolina, who characterized some of its provisions as "dreams and illusions." and also impracticable. He found fault es pecially with the plan for specifying a return of 5 1-2 per cent upon the investment to the railroads, which, he said,. means the underwriting by the government of the railroad securities of this country. Such a plan means this country's entrance-into paternal tern, said Senator Dial, who said he doubted the constitutionality of the provision. Should this be done, he declared, the government would be honor bound hereafter to keep up; the freight rates so as to make such a return possible. Creation of a transportation board ] was also opposed, by Senator Dial, who declared that the provisions ir the bill providing for two railroad em ployes to be members of the board of I directors of the various companies would conflict with laws in various States which prohibit persons from serving as directors of corporations in ' which they are not financially inter-j ested. The South Carolina Senator criticized the general tendency of bor to demand increased pay for ?ess; work, declaring it is time "the peo ple of this country who do something.! who have something and who pay! taxes to be heard from."

Dec. 1".?Another memorandum on the Mexican situa tion was sent today to President Wil son.

At the same time Mr. Payne pre pared a letter urging the imuportar.ee of protecting the American supply of Mexican fuel oil. upon which \ the shipping board is almost wholly do pendent for fuel for its 500 oil burn ing passenger and freight steamers. It developed today that the State department has been continuing to protest to the Mexican government against decrees forbidding the drill ing of new wells <>n privately owned property in the Tampico fields, and other decrees affecting the oil inter ests of American and other foreign ers in Mexico. Three notes have been dispatched : within six months, but it was said today that President Carranza had not replied to any of them. The first went forward las*. June IS. the second on October 1 and the third on November* IS. In the first two the Stale department specifically protested against tin- action of the .Mexican government in preventing the drilling of new wells on propertj owned by Americans and insisted up on more adequate protection of Am ericans working in the Tampico oil regions. The note of December IS was dis patched after receipt of official infor mation that Carranza soldiers had seized another American owned w? !? on November 12. It was learned today that Mexican military forces at various times dur ing the past months have stopped drilling operations- of American com panies on the pretext that "permits" to drill had not been obtained. In order to obtain tin* fX'rinit "foreign oil companies must agree hi advance that such wells as may be drilled will become the property of the Mexi can government." Tie- United States has repeatedly protested agains .these decrees in particular. Certain American owned companies desiring to increase oil production to meet the present fuel shortage in the United Stat? s. it was said, have dialled wells without admitting the loss of their proper'.v by such nets The Stat?: department, both in for mal notes and in in formal communi cations, was said to have informed the Mexican government that this ac tion by the American companies was not in. defiance of "lie Mexican au thorities, but only the exercising of rights acquired! under Mexican law. !HUT^~TRYING TO BEG OFF Effort Made to Prove It Impos sible to Comply Beriiu.
