| Republicans want no reconstruc-
tion done until after they come in
| to power March 4. Delay, they
say, makes an extra session im-
perative.
j The effort toward reconstruction
which is about to be made is to
center on three subjects. The
i first is the railroads.
• Director General McAdoo is to
appear Friday before the senate
interstate commerce committee
when it opens its hearings to de-
termine what congress ought to
do about the roads. McAdoo is to
be followed by other federal offi-
cials, then by railroad men and
representatives of the public.
'l'fte next subject is industrial
welfare.
There is a growing belief in
congress that the government must
take cognizance of the change that
has come through the war irt the
relative positions of capital and
labor.
