TWO KINDS OF BREASTS
One Requires Four Men to Run, the Other
Only Two.

The company through its general
manager, W. y. May. was permitted
to make Il statement. He said: The
Pennsylvania Coal company has two
systems. one where four men work
in place. and known as Il fOur-hand-
ed place, and another in which there
are only two men. and known as
two handed place. There may be places
where there are four men working,
but that fact is not known to the com
pany itself. The company does not
keep a record of the individuals in n
contract. or the number. 1t only keeps
the name of the man in whose name
the place is run. 1t can he possible
that there are more men i'm place
than the company has any cOgnizance
of. but that is entirely outside its prov
ince." The company. he said. does
not pay the lIborer. it only pays the
man in whose name the place ap-
pears.

latter said he did not know whether
two. four or six men worked to earn
the money indicated on the memOran-

ing that he got the figures from the
auditor of the company.
You saw these figures handed to
me, to the newspapers, and TO the
commission. and you did not state to
many men shared in the money
any one that you did not know how
earned" said DarrOw.
Il did not say anything about it
either one way or the other" replied
May. In further discussion Darrow

had been heard the miners rested their

ment at the institute here for the mad

Eugenia Pratt the little +-year-old suf-
ferer. Eugenia is the most delicate
of the injured children. and was also
the most seriously bitten.
In consequence of her condition she
does not take the treatment as docile-
ly as the others. and therefore the hos
pital authorities feel that she is not
progressing as favorably as the rest.
There is no crisis. however. and mer-
ton is simply made of her case he
cause it is the only one in which all
the symptoms are not favorable. The
others are all in Il normal condition.
and it is expected that they will fully
respond to the treatment. which will
last from fifteen to twenty-one days.

May BE to Cost the Farmer More for the
Carriage of His Grain.
The commission says that the effect
of issuing injunctionS To compel roads
TO observe published tariffs has been
to materially advance on commodities
the rate actually received by the car
rier and actually paid by the shipper
and that their operation as applied to
the present condition of railroad own
erShip enables advances in rates which
might not otherwise be made and MAIN
tanned. While the producer of grain
will undoubtedly pay from now on
from , to 4 centS-in some instances 10
scntS-pcr 100 pounds more to trans
port that grain from the field to its deS-
tination than he had paid for some
time before these iniunctiOnS took eff
feet this is not to he regarded as an
argument against the iniunctiOnS.
There ought to he some power which
cannot only compel these carriers to
maintain the published rate but which
can compel them to publish Il fair and
reasonable rate. Thirty-eight formal

COMBINAT TION COMING

sion Says the Tendency
Is Significant.
WILL SOON ABOLISH COMPETITION
More Hallway Legislation Needed
Criminal Clauses Dead-RaiI-
road Injunctions.

Washington. Dec. 1S.-The tendency
to combine continues the most signifi-
cant feature of railway development
according to the annual report of the
interstate commerce commission. The
report says: 1T is not open to ques-
ton that the competition between rail
road carriers which formerly prevailed
has been largely suppressed. or at
least brought TO the condition of eff
fective restraint. The progress of con-
SOlidatiOn. in one form or another. will
at no distant day con1ine this com
petition within narrow and unimpOr-
tant limits. because the control of most
railway properties will be merged i'll
Il few individuals. whose common in
terests impel them to act in concert.
New Style of Regulation Wanted.
''While this will insure. as probably
nothing else can in equal degree. the
observance OF published tariffs. and
so measurably remove some of the
evils which the act was designed to
prevent the resulting situation in
wolves consequences to the public
which claim the most serious atten-
ton. \ law which might have an

waS relied upon to secure reasonable
rates is demonStrably Inadequate when
that competition is displaced by the
most far-reaching and powerful COM
binatiOns. So great ii change in con
ditiOnS calls for corresponding change
in the regulating statute"
Criminal Provision a Dead Letter
The commission reafiirms its rec
concentrations for amending the inter
state commerce law and urges the
grave necessity for legislation and
says that the fact that no convictions
have yet been obtained nor indictments
found in the cases of the roads which
were shown ny an investigation last
winter to be giving secret rates to
grain shippers emphdtizeS the fact that
the criminal provisions of the present
Interstate law are practically a dead
