BEEF PACKERS ARE NOW
AFTER SCALP OF GEN. MILES

Washington-Much PREF sure, it is said
is being brought to bear by beef packers
to have General Miles relieved from the
command OF the army as punishment
for bringing discredit on American meat
throughout the world.
The action Of the committee OF the
German reichstag in favoring the bill
discriminating against American meats
is pointed to as a result OF General
Miles course.
There is no indication, however, that

The report or the Interstate Com

year the railways of the United States
carried over 1900, 00o, 900 passengers
one mile. They also carried 95,OO0,-
100000 tons of freight one mile. The

ways about 20 per cent. came from

passenger service. Let us assume,
then, that Of the $SSO00,0O0 paid in

was profit on freight service and $26,-
100000 was profit on passenger ser
vice. Let us drop fractions and call Ii
e62 OO0,000 from freight and $4,000
600 from passengers. By dividing the
passenger profit into the number Of
passengers carried $4,000, 900, 000 we
iind that the railways had to carry a
passenger 500 miles in order to earn
one dollar of profit-or five miles to
earn one cent. Their average profit,
therefore, was less than two-tenths Of
one cent for carrying a passenger land
his baggage one mile.
By dividing the freight profit into
the freight mileage 5000, OOO,OO0l we
fnd that the railways had to carry one
ton Of freight 1880 miles In order to
earn one dollar, or over fifteen miles
to earn one cent. The average profit
