physician prescribing narcotic drugs to
make an examination of the patient," said
Whltaker. "If the patient Is an addict, his
cure would be under the onbtant supervi

physicians undertaking tho cure being

WASHINGTON. .May 22
House Republicans In caucus today
ngrrr d unanimously to oppose all censorship
provisions of the Administration liy bill
when a conference report on the pieasuie
Is made to the House.
This llatfiiotrd stand was the result of
efforts made by Representative (porgc S
Graham, of Philadelphia Thmugh his c
tlvlty among the Republicans yesterday ho
brought about the call for tnc raiicui today
More than one hundred members attended
Speaker Champ Clark Is In entire nccord
with the action by the Republicans, and he
propose to work with the Democrats
against the pr"posrd censoishlp Tho action
if the ltou"e Republli.'inM Is in the form of
a pledge to oppn'c any form of censorship,
no matter bow mild, If it Is agreed to by
the Semite and House conferees
Tie Senate struck from the espionage
I'ttl all of the ceiisurshlp provisions, and
the House, took a similar action as the
resjlt of ((Torts mado by Representative
Ctahnm In a tlnht on the lloor. Luter In
the day, lmwever. when many of tho censor
ship lippuni'iils bad left the Capitol tho
censorship pinviilnu In a different form was
reintroduced bv Representative Gard, of
Ohio, and Incorporated In the measure As
tho hill now stands in conference there Is a
modified provision for censorship In the
House measure nnd none in the Senate.
With the lloue Republicans nnd many of
the DoiiiiTnts avowedly against any press
legiilatlou, It Is believed probable the House
i onferees will consent to tho elimination of
;ill censorship
At the lloiu'e caucus tod.iv. Itepresenta
tlvo Gruhnm said.
This it an Important mattei. and the
House ically has expressed itself against
any censorship pin vision at all It N mo
dangerous to pass a provhlou such as this
as a part of an espionage bill. The dan
ger of contravening tho Constitution of
the Pnlted States, guaranteeing free
speo-h and a free press. Is too great Tho
press is honorable and the gieat hulk of
the American reople are lov.il If there
are violations the guilty poisons can he
punished.
I ndnuhledly many things will come up
during the war that will warrant criti
cism The watch dogs In the Interest of
the public are the newspapois. i I be

lIAIiniHUUltU, Ma 2J.
The railroads, In urging before tho Unit
rood Committee of the Senate nt a public
hearing this afternoon, the passage of tho
McKeo bill suspending tho full crew law
during the war. declared through their
array of counsel that freight congestion on (
the railroads Is due to n gteat degree to
the full crew law.
The railroads cannot get a sufficient
number of men to man the trains nece.-venry
to move freight during the war time-!, they
asserted. Their representative added thnt
the release of the "extra" men required by
the full crew law would enable them to
hnmllo 15 per cent more frelRhl by making
up new train crews from the men who would
bo released from thele present employment
by tho Huspcneloti of the law.
Tho arguments of the railioads wete
suinniarbed In n statement Issued by them
during the hinting The statement fol
lows "Tho full clew law lequlrc the emplo.v
nient on railioads In lcniia)lvinl:i of 1740

released for service for which they lire in
great demand, It would enormously. Increase
the ability of the railroads of the Slate
to more trnlllc
"To Illustrate, of the total number. HIS
are in freight service enough men to pto
vldo crews for movement of IB8 trnlns be
tween Philadelphia and I'lttrburgli With
the aiornge load thc'ie trains would carry
sixty-four cars, and with the crews making
twentv trips per month, which Is about
what they average, this would move 202,240
cats per month. Allowing an average of
fifteen ton-! of fielght per lar, the volume
of tralllc. so handled, would reach 3,033,(100
tons per month. How much n movement
of traffic thin Is may be comprehended
when it Is stated that It teprccnts about
1C per cent of the total ftclght now handled
on the Pcnns.vlvanla lines cat of Pitts

there aro vlrtuallv no extra lists on any

would require 148 more men than are now
available. To give the railroads of Penn
sylvania the number of men which they
should now have for train service, Including
a leasonnhle but not large extra list, would
require 8000 more nun for train service than
are now available Thus nearly one-fciurtli
of the men who are now tit gently requited
can be ptovided Immediate!) through the
suspension of the full-crew law, while it
would release to servile wheie the.v .lie
badly needed hundreds of men who ate now

It Is obvious that the suspension of the full
