AMONG THE RAILWAYS.
Rock Island Will Run Cheap Excursions
to Colorado.

The Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific railway, which made a phenom-
enal success of cheap excursion rates
to Colorado last season, has again
asked its competitors in the Western
and Southwestern Passenger assOci-
ations to agree upon a series of cheap
excursions to and from Denver, Col
orado Springs, and Pueblo for the
approaching season, on the follow
ing basis: Tickets to be sold from
Chicago and all territory up to the
Missouri river, June Is. %, July l6,
% and 30, and August 9, l3, 20 and
%, at a rate of one fare plus so, or
$3.50 for the round trip.
On July 9 and o and September 8
and 10 a rate of $25 is to be made from
Chicago, and $i5 from Missouri river
points for the round trip. Interme-
diate territory will have proportion
ate rates. Tickets are to be sold
from Missouri river points one day
later than the dates given above in
each case. ProportioHate rates will
be made to and from GlenwoOd
Springs, Salt Lake City and Ogden.
A series of East bound excursions
is also proposed, tickets to be sold
from Colorado common points every
Thursday, beginning with June coup
to and including September ~, at a
rate of one fare plus $2 for the round
trip. All tickets will be limited for
return passage to October 81. These
rates will be rendered connecting
lines for basing purposes, which will
probably insure a very low basis of
rates throughout the United States
for these excursions.
The Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cilic will unquestionably make these
rates and arrangements effective, re-
gardless of the action of it's compet-
itors, and will run special trains only

TWO RoUaNG MEETINGS
Held by the State and County Secretaries
of the Y. N. c. A.. Here Sunday.

Sunday was banner day in the
history of religious work in Earling-
ton. According to announcement,
two Y. M. G. A. meetings were held
at the NJ. E. Church, South, one in
the afternoon at 300 O'Clock for men
only, and a mass meeting at 7:30.
The meeting for men was the most
largely attended of any similar meet
ing ever held in this city. Much in
tercst was manifested on the part of
all present. State Secretary John
Lake, County Secretary Ben Ashby,
and 1. Bailey, of Madisonville, were
present and conducted the meeting,
each making earnest and impressive
talks. thoroughly arousing and en-
thusing the young men. The meet
ing will undoubtedly result in great
good.
At the evening meeting, the house
was crowded and all listened with
rapt attention to the earnest words
of Rev. Lake. He spoke of the temp
tations and needs Of young men and
the work of the Y. NJ. G. A, the
encournging-p prospects Of the organi-

Kicking at 2 Gents a Day.

Now that the assumed wide
open-mouthed wonder of the
anti-everything press at the ap-
propriateness of the last Congress
has given place to other would d-be
virtuous spasms, we can calmly
calculate and compare. Accord
ing to Chairman Cannon Of the
Appropriations Committee the
amount of expenditures during
the next fiscal year will be under
$700, 900, 900, and this includes
1923, 1926 for the postal de-
partment and $5S, 900, 900 for the
sinking fund. Calling it with
these two items included a round
$700, 900, 900, and putting our
population next year at 7S,000,-
900, it will be seen that our Gov
ernment expenditures will be
less than 30 per capita.
Deducting the 1923, 900, 600 for
the postal department and the
s53, 900. 900 for the sinking fund,
the expenditures would be $6.72
per capita for the year, SO cents
a month and less than = cents a
day.
Now let us look at Great Brit
ain moment. The British
budget for the ensuing year
shows an expenditure of 1905
600, 900, or $21.50 per capita, and
a deficit of 1920, 100000 must be
provided for in spite of the enor-
nous taxes now levied.
The American does not mind
that , cents Il day; in fact, he
does not know of it. In spite of
the antis life in the United

And IT'S Done CheeruIly.

jim w OOuS, Falrley anu otilerS,
representing the union miners in
the joint conference of miners
and operators of union mines in
Western Kentucky, which re-
convened at Louisville Monday,
insist on the claim that the mines
of Hopkins county are very
badly crippled-practieally shut
down.
They have stood up in this
conference" with intelligent
business men, who keep informed
as to facts concerning the coal
industry of the state, and un-
blushingly insisted that their ag-
itators have so crippled the coal
mines Of Hopkins county as to
have cut off sixty-Gve per cent
of the county's normal output.
They further claim that they are
still ''cutting off" output and
that in a fe,! days they will have
stopped fully eighty per cent.
More than once this statement
has been made in the conference.
OF course it has not been be-
heved by either those who made
the statement or by any of the
coal operators. The first time
the statement was made it was
at once met by an inquiry to the
State Inspector of Mines who an
swered that the mines of Hopkins
county had produced more coal
in January than in any single
month in their history, and he
gave the figures. This, of course,
everybody knew, but these rep
resentatives of the union said the
mine inspector was bought and
the tigureswere fixed"
Two weeks ago THE BEE pub
lished statistics showing that the
st. Bernard and Reinecke mines
alone had gained in February Just
past more than nine thousand
tons over the output Of February
one year ago, ,and made suggestion
that the railroad records show
4 large increase in coal ship
ments.
These facts are of recorl and |
may be verified any day, but the
leaders of Hopkins
county miners stand up brazenly
and tell unainchipgIy that which
everybody at all Informed Of the
facts knows to be false. They |
still say TO the operators from
the other counties that they have
already stopped slxty-five per
cent of the Hopkins county coal
output, and they ask for a recog-
nition Of their efforts in this line
because of the agreement that
they shall have an advance of
wages when they succeed in
stopping eighty per cent of the
output of Hopkins county mines.
Why, even so near at home as
Nortorille, the union men turn
their backs when they hear the
ominous roll Of a heavy south
b0ubd freight train and then tell
their friends that the coal bust
ness is so crippled there are no
more double header trains run.

Secretary Hook called a meeting OF

favorable to the project prevailed.
While no definite action was taken, the
secretary was instructed to further
communicate in the matter with the
promoters of the scheme.
With a circuit embracing the four
cities named, and with a possibility OF
securing one or two others, it is likely
that some fast horses could be secured.
The interest in racing in Wheeling is
believed to be sufficient to insure the
success of a spring meeting.

RAILROAD RUMORS

Report That the h. 4 o. Proposes to
Build Two New Bridges Across the
Ohio River-The c. l. Il w. Deal.
There are a great many rumors in
circulation in connection with the deal
by which the B. & 0. acquires posses
sion of the c., L. & w. railway. Presi-
dent w. r. Woodford is quoted as say
ing, conserving the deal for the c., l..
& w. road:
Il have not been officially notified
that the control of the porerty has
changed hands, but I have no reason
to doubt that the statement made by
Mr.. Solomon is a correct n The re-
port is altogether reaso liable, being the
logical outcome of the trend of events
recently"
No statement has been made concern
ing the price to be paid, but the story
of the sale is not discredited from any
source.
A very interesting report is in cir
culation to the effect that the B. & O.
~contemplateS the erection of two new
bridges across the Ohio river, n at
M%oundsville and the other at West
Wheeling. The former is probably the
old story concerning the intention Of
the B. & o. to put a bridge across the
river at Powhatan, connection with tho
present tracks to be made near the
Board Tree tunnel on the West Vir-
ginia side, and near Cam. ridge on the
Ohio side, the object being to do away
with the heavy grade from the Ohio
river west.
1t is said that the bridge across the
river at West Wheeling means an
abandonment of the Bellaire bridge,
which is weak and will have to be re-
built. The idea is to give the c., l..
& w. an entrance into Wheeling and a
connection with the B. 4 O. in this city.
1t is said to be the intention to haul
most of the coal to the lakes from the
West Virginia fields via the c., l.. & w.
