REFORM DEPARTMENT METHODS.
Recommendations Regarding the Conduct
OF the Governments Business.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Important recon-
mendations relative to the administration
of the Governments bu siness are incor-
porated in two reports just submitted to
the President by the committee on de-
partment methods, better known as the
Keep Commission. The first relates to the
transportation of Government employees
and property" and the second to the use
Of committees in department work" Sim
plifed spelling runs riot through both of
these documents.
The fact is brought out in the first report
that through the bills of lading now in use
the Government has been subjected to
increased cost by the railroads in the matter
of transportation. Through bills of lading
have not been required, and in the final
determination and settlement of freight
charges there has been a divergence Of
practice in the different administrative
and auditing offices.
The COMMITTEES recommends that the
President request the proper heads of de-
partments to direct that hereafter all single
shipments Of freight and continuous jour-
neys OF Government employees, made on
bills OF lading and transportation requests,
be made On through bills Of lading or trans
portation requests, as the case may be.
As to charges by the railroads the COM
mittee says: The amount OF t~ransporta-
ton paid for by the Government entities
it to the lowest available rate in every
instance"
With a view of keeping each department
in touch with the personnel and business
Of the particular b'anch OF the Govern
ment for which it is responsible the COM
mission recommends the creation of a COM
mittee in zach service bureau or independent
division, to be known respectively as the
service bureau or division committee

PORTO RICO RAILROADS.
Serious Discrimination Charged-Interstate
Commission Called ON for Help.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Porto Rico is
having trouble with her railroads and she
has called on the United States for help.
Gov. Winthrop of thei island, accompanied
by other officials and prominent Porto
Rican busines men, are in Washington to
hold a conference with members of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
principal railroad in Porto Rico was built
during the Spanish regime, under a charter
from the Spanish Crown.
When the present government of the
island was set up it was provided that
the managers of this railroad should submit
to 10 schedules of rates. This resulted
in the discovery that the management OF
the road was guilty Of serious discrimina-
ton against certain Porto Rican towns
and against individuals as well. Antiqui-
ties in freight classiflcations were also
disclosed, the result being hat Porto Rico
is confronted with transportation evils such
as exist in this country.
Gov. Winthrop wants the Interstate Com
merce Commission TO send an expert Ia
Porto Rico 10 instruct railroad officials and
shippers alike in matters of transportation
His request will probably be granted.

NO YARD STRIKE LIKELY.
Trainmen and Railroad Omcers Expect a
Settlement,

Several Of the minor officers Of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen we're at the
Broadway Central Hotel yesterday. After
communicating with the freight yardmen
and conductors of the roads, who have
been in a deadlock with the General Mana
gers Association over the question as to
whether they will accept an advance of
4 cents IN hour offered by the managers of
the Erie, Delaware, L~ackawanna and
Western, Central Railroad of New Jersey,
Baltimore and Ohio and Lehigh Valley
railroads or stand out for their demand of
S cents an hour, they left for their homes.
They will be back on Tuesday. when p. H.
Morrissey, Grand Master of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, is due in this
city.
Before they went away they had a talk
with John Wonderly, chairman of the
grievance committees of the Erie Railroad
engineers, who came here to look after
some local matters connected with the en-
gineers. MIR. Monderly said hat he was
familiar with the situation as to the train
men here and that a strike was very I'M
likely.
The trainmen | nave seen told me-" he
said, that they do not expect any trouble.
The matter in dispute is too small to cause
a strike"
A member of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen who was seen in the yards of the
Erie Railroad in Jersey City said that the
conferences with the General Managers
Association were not ended. He added:
Some Of the men may have started the
report that a strike is to take place, but
u c people do harm. There is a good deal
Of strike talk before there is a strike, and
we are not within miles Of a strike. | am
perfectly certain that a settlement will be
reached"
A representative of one of the roads in
volved confirmed the statement that the
conferences were not ended. Tn negotia-
tons had never been broken off.
The men are following the same course
as they do in all such cases." he said. a
vote as to a strike may mean anything or
1t may mean nothing. In thisc case il means
nothing. The whole dispute is over a cent
an hour, which the men who want to get all
they can are standing out for, but neither
side would be willing to risk a strike"

RIDeELY FAVoRs CREDIT NOTES.
He Says u IL the Demand OF Business Rather
Than Of Speculation,

WASHINGTON, Dec. i5.-William B.
Ridgely, Comptroller Of the Currency,
discussed the currency question this morn
ing before the HOUSE Committee on Banking
and Currency. Mr.. Ridgely's ideas as to tbs
operation Of the credit currency plan Of the
Bankers Association did not in all respects
harmonic with those advanced yes terday
by Secretary Shaw when he was bsfore
the committee. One instance in point was
his statement that the amount Of credit
notes in process of redemption at any one
time would be vastly in excess Of 10 per
cent. OF the total, which was the amour I
estimated by Secretary Shaw.
Mr.. Ridgely said that the business Of the
world was increasing so rapidly, so much
was going on in manufacturing, mining and
commerce generally, that there Is a great
demand for. credit, which has caught up
with and overtaken the amount of reserve
money we have to base credit upon. Since
1900, he said, there has been an increase Of
as per cent Of the loans in national banks
without collateral. During the same period
there has been an increase OF 40 per cent.
only Of the total loans on collateral. From
this he deduced that the demand for an
elastic currency Is the demand OF business
rather than OF speculation.
1t is very plain, he said, that the logical,
sensible, practical way.to meet the question
is to change the system so that banks may
keep in their vaults, as a basis for the in
creas OF loans, every dollar Of their avail
able reserve money and let them supply
for cash transactions their own credit notes,
which are not available for reserve.
Mr.. Ridgely said he was decidedly in
favor OF credit currency and in favor of a
graduated tax with ample reserve, in ON
tradistinction to high tax and no reserve.
He would rave the Government guarantee
the credit notes and declared that the
Government in 80 doing would undertake
no risk.
He was not in favor of the repeal Of the
bank circulation. He would increase the
limit to So, OOO, 900 or SIS, 900, 900 and give
the Secretary OF the Treasury authority to
suspend the retirement in his discretion.

AGAINST SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
New York Team Owners Association
Charkes Violation OF the Rate Law.

Charkes vTOIatIOn OF the Hate LAW.
WASHINGTON; Dec. 15.-The New Yo rk
Team Owners Association names the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company as a defendant
in a complaint filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission to-day. A violation
Of the rate law is alleged.
The burden OF the complaint is that the
Southern Pacific in receiving merchandise
for shipment at its station in New York
city requires trucks operated by members
of the Team Owners Association to form
a line in the order of their arrival at the
station, whereas the trucks of Kelly 4
Buck, who are also engaged in the carriage
Of property in New York, are permitted to
pass into the Southern Pacific station and
unload out of the order OF their arrival.
This gives Kelly a Buck, the complaint re-
cites, an undue and unreasonable prefer
n and advantage, in violation of the pro-
visions Of the act TO regulate commerce.
