READY TO FIGHT B. & O. MONOPOLY
President Logan II. Bullet, Of the Red
Rock Fuel Company Says He Has
Clear Case.

| KOCh ruel company says ne EAaS
Clear Case.
'We're not in this movement
now merely 20 get sidetrack. We
are out to break up, if possible.
the whole unjust, unfair system
whereby the railroad-the Penn
sylvania Railroad, to be exact
shut out the independent coal op-
orators. "
That is what Logan NJ. Bullitt,
president of the Red Rock Fuel
Company, whose situation against
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
started the movement towards a
congressional investigation, said
yesterday to score of business men
who congratulated him upon the
field his work opened. To phil
adelphia Press" reporter he con-
tinued as follows:
"Of course that sounds like
mighty big job to tackle, but we
have a Clear-cut case and I feel
confident we can prove everything
I wrote in my letter to each Con-
gresham.
AS the letter says, the Red Rock
Company has more than 400 acres
of immensely valuable coal fields
along the Baltimore and Ohio.
The land is ours, the coal is ours,
we can mine it-but we can't ship
it. The Baltimore and Ohio Off
Gals whom we asked for sidetracks,
such as many other coal fields
have along the same line told US
they couldn't accommodate us.
They simply froze us out.
At the same time they have had
1000 large capacity cars made for
the Fairmont Coal Company which
is very close to US. They are pri-
vate cars and cannot be used by
the ordinary shipper. And they
charge only 90 cents for a haul of
these cars where they would
charge another shipper SI.45.
Why? Because it is a monopoly,
and that's what we want to get at
and put out of business.
To show you how far this mon
opoly went, l will say that
the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway is obliged to buy all its
fuel from the Fairmont Company.
So also the Michigan Central.
Why is this? Because the Read
ing is now owned by the Baltimore
and Ohio, it must buy its coal
where that company says The
Baltimore and Ohio is controlled.
I know, by the Pennsylvania. And
so everything centers about the
Broad Street Station.
I intend now to follow this
matter out to the end. My idea
of it is that there should be a ma
tional commission to supervise the
rates of all railroads, and there
should be provision for a term
of punishment in jail for offenders
instead of the fines, which they
care nothing about
I do not know when there will
be a hearing Of the matter, of
course, but l will be prepared for it
when it comes, with some argu-
ments that ] can't see how they
will answer"
Nh. Bullitt in concluding said
that he believed the Interstate
Commerce Commission was all
well and good enough in its way,
but it did not have the power
to enforce a law. Grant it that
power, he declared, and a member
ship of capable men, it could soon

lens.

sweden Would Have Her Sons and
Daughters Return Home.
According to United States Consul
Bergh at Gothenburg, in a report to
the State Department, the Swedish gov
eminent Is seriously considering plans
for promoting the return to Sweden Of
such Swedish immigrants to the United
States as are able to invest money In
real estate. says the Washington Star.
AS step In that direction 1t Is pro-
posed to send agents to the States In
the American Union having the largest
Scandinavian population for the pur-
pose Of investigating the conditions
there and using the Information obtain
ed for the purpose mentioned.
One OF the proponents says that even
now some emigrants return to Sweden,
but that the movement Is counteracted
by unfavorable conditions there-such
as defective judiciary conditions and
the bureaucratic state OF society, which
repels the Swedish Americans, who are
accustomed to more liberal social rela-
lions. and finally the intolerance Of the
whole public In Sweden. which does not
understand the self-esteem natural to
the Swedish-American who by his own
exertions has passed from poverty to
good economic circumstances.
He says that these unfavorabIe CON
ditIons ought to be changed and that
everything practical ought to be done
to promote the return OF emigrants
that the Swedish-AmerIcan are q prac.
teal people with wide views, hardy
and strong men and women, noted for
their s0briety and moral. religious
lives; that a greater return OF the bet
ter classes Of emigrants would also
bring more money to Sweden, that the
opinion OF the Swedish Americans Is ia
vorable to such arrangements and thai
the American authorities are too noble
spirited to put any obstacles In the
way of such movement. although they
recognize the good qualities OF the
Scandinavian immigrants. The pro
ponent says that arrangements should
be made so that 1t would be easier t.
obtain land In Seweden-particular
government land-and loans OF money
on easy terms for the erection of goot
homes: that attempts Should be made
to bring about the return of engineers
and skilled workmen. who In the Unit
ed States have gained good positions
and to invite American capital, which
would psomote the utilization OF Swe
dish mines, waterfalls, etc. He say
that such connections with the United
States would be of advantage econom
ically and in other ways.

Teach Girl. . Trade.

Give the girls a chance" is the I'm.
written motto Of the Boston Trade
School for Girls. whose work Is de-
scribed by Livingston Wright In Tech
nlcal World Magazine. This enter
prise Is OF value to the working girl
because 1t enables her to enter employ
ment at an initial wage OF about three
times what she could hope to receive
II she began without training; and
what is quite as important, II not more
so-she can enter at once the better
skilled trades In which are chance for
advancement and hope for the future
The school prepares girls for such
trades as dressmaklng, millinery, straw
hat making, and machine running. The
knowledge OF machines thus gained
opens to a girl the doors Of thousands
Of factories, where, as apron maker
skirt finisher. or In doing other expert
work that she would otherwise have t.
spend years In hard, endless toll to
accomplish, she enters at once upon
the best rewards OF her trade. The
work of this school Is Of value to the
community because 1t makes more eff
cient workers and better developed
young women physically, mentally, and
morally out OF these girls, who, the
children of to-day. are to be the wives
and mothers Of the years to come.

Torrance was a long and elaborate

Prospectors Working Far from the
Nearest Railway.
From time to time stories Of the Oil
wealth lying along the eastern slope or
the Rocky Mountains have been re-
ceived, but, apart from several mysteri-
Gus looking bore holes. securely capped,
nothing has been either seen or heard
of the large quantities Of oil said to
have been discovered, says CORE
spondent of the New York Tribune at
Pincher creek, Alberta.
A few days ago f. B. Ferguson, Of
the Western Oil and Coal Company, re-
turned from a trip to the company's
wells. He stated that the company
would be shipping large quantities OF
oil before long. The fact that shipping
had not already been begun, he explain
ed, was due to lack Of transportation
and the difficulties attending a journey
into the oil country. Roads had to be
graded, bridges built and dense forests
cut out before even the machinery
could be taken In. A pipe line to this
city was the next operation to be at
tended to, and within a few days this
forty five mile pipe line from the COM
pany's property to this town would be
completed. Then, he said, oil would be
pumped through to the reservoir here,
preparatory to shipping 1t By the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad.
Mr.. Ferguson states that the stories
Of the many rich strikes OF oil In this
district have not been exaggerated: in
fact. he is of the opinion that the min
eral wealth OF Southern Alberta is far
richer than any one supposes. All

INDIAN CUSTOMS OF OLD.

Kings and Chieftafns Embalmed ~

Many strange Indian relics of bygone
days which have been unearthed on the
grounds of the jamestown exposition.
near Norfolk, Va, tell interesting tales
Of customs In vogue among the Indians
three centuries ago and some OF the
old records handed down from the first
settlers add zest to Indian traditions
and Indian habits and customs.
1t Is known that the Indians who
once occupied the present site of the
jamestown exposition TO be held In 1907
carefully embalmed their kings and
chleftains much in the way the Egyp-
tians did. The work was done scien-
tifically and the bodies thus embalmed
were preserved in an excellent condi-
ton for centuries. being dried 50 skill

up and added to the collection of In
dian curios.
Another interesting exhibit at the ex
position will be display OF tobacco. OF
which these old Virginia tribes were
so fond. 1t Is said that when tobacco
was the medium of exchange In the
ancient colony OF Virginia 1t was a
common thing for an Indian to trade on
his wife for a few twists OF tobacco
Pretty young squaws were worth more
than ugly ones, hence there was reg
ular market price for Indian wives.
The prominence which attaches to to
bacco in the early settlement of Vir
ginia determined the Virginia State
Commissioners to have as part OF the
Virginia exhibit at the Jamestown ex
position the finest tobacco exhibit ever
arranged for an exposition. A tobacco
palace, artistically decorated with to
bacco tapestry, pictures, curtains and
ornaments OF every description. will
constitute one of the unique features OF
the exposition.
