INDEPENDENTS
DENIED CARS

TACOMA, Dec. 20. Evidence
was presented to the state fuel
famine committee yesterday to
show that the Northern Pacific is
discriminating against independ.
ent mine owners in supplying cars
The only representative of an in.
dependent mine examined was l.
B. Winsor, of the Carbon Hill Coal
Co. He testified that while his
shipments had been curtailed $500
tons in the past three weeks, other
mines connected with the railroad
company had not been bothered
The existence of a combine was
denied from railroad sources, but
testimony was offered by non-inde-
pendent mines to prove that they
were supplied all cars needed.
The present inquiry has revealed
the fact that coal shipments west
of the mountains are charged for
on the long ton, 2240 pounds, basis
while east of the mountains the
short ton of 1000 pounds is used
the latter dealers being discrimin
ated against to the extent of FAC
pounds on every ton. 1t Is believed
that the long ton will be recon-
mended as the statutory basis OF
public ton weight.
Chairman Fairchild, of the com
mittee, yesterday stated that but
one witness had testified to a
shortage of cars and suggested that
the great increase of shipping and
general development was respons-
ible for the fuel famine.

order that he mint get at the writ
ings of the German sociologists. He
took a dictionary in one hand and
a German newspaper in the other
and wrestled for the meaning.
His diversions are not many. One
day he was discovered in the wake
of minstrel troupe; one of the
funny men had been a cigarmaker
with him in the old New York days.
Occasionally the pool or billiard
table takes an hour or SO of his
leisure. He says he likes baseball
in the corner lot, but is getting
old for that. He is 81 now. He does
not affect churchiness. His creed is
too broadly humanitarian to sub
scribe to anything sectarian. He is
a Scottish Rite Mason and an Odd
Fellow and an Elk, but is not a
rabid Joiner"
His home life is simple, and such
a thing as a servant in the Gompers
household never has been known.

SOME OF US GOOD
BY CYNTHIA GREY

Some of us is good"
This was the assertion made by
a timid little factory girl, of Des
| Moines, Ia. She cried out the
words to the evangelist who hat
just ended prayer in behalf o.
| the crowd of factory girls whom
he had been addressing.
| The evangelist was stunned By
the factory girls words, and more
stunned as she continued. Those
| who heard the evangelist and re
manned to hear the little girl are
wondering which preached the bet
ter sermon, the girl or the evangel
list.
Some of us is good, and you
have put it in the papers that yor
are preaching to the factory girls
and because you have singled us
out to preach to, people think we
are worse than other girls.
Were glad you come, amt We
girls? We like to have you tell
us how we can be better, but why
don't you talk to the girls on Grand
av., too?
There are bad girls in the swell
set. You haven't singled them out
for prayers, you haven't preached
to them.

all night. We've never done any
thing so bad as that.
go preach to those girls, too;
then people won't think we're
worse than they are.
Some of us is good, amt we,
girls?'
At this the little girl stopped,
very much frightened at her bold
ness in talking the straight truth
at the great evangelist. And as she
turned to her mates with the ques-
ton, Amt we, girls?" there was
a great nodding of heads. for the
rest of them were too timid and
afraid to say word

and the girl of the factory has
found that out.
When the honest factory girl
buttons her faded jacket she but
tons it over brave little heart as
true and as honorable as the heart
that beats under the sealskin.
Neither wealth nor poverty is
of vice.
Girls can be good and work in
factories. Girls can be good and
belong to the swell set. But so
long as it is true that the swell set
holds sin, why is it that the fac
tory girls must be again and again
singled out and made the object

he made this remark. The
smile opened a large mouth
and showed a formidable ar
ray of double teeth of that
peculiar variety that clamp
evenly all the way around.
They look like teeth that
are not apt to let go. They
seem particularly large and
powerful teeth, reinforced
here and there with great
gold blocks.

REPORT ON CAR
SHORTAGE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The
interstate commerce commission S
annual report to congress gives
much space to car shortage. 1t
says:
Prosperity and high prices for
all classes of commodities have
stimulated production until the
business far exceeds the carrying
capacity of railroads. Conditions
existing In the Northwest are
alarming. Larger roads say they
refuse TO ship their own cars be-
yond their own lines because
other lines practically confiscate
them for use In local traffic. One
road claims so per cent of its cars
are In use by other roads.
"We are told every car and To-
connective building works is crowd
ed to the limit with orders now
placed for rolling stock that can
not be filled within a year. What.
ever the cause and whatever the
effect, the fact remains that they
do not move the volume of traffic
offered and shippers are suffering
10 a degree unbearable.
Such grave situation calls for
every remedy that can be usefully
employed. The commission is
without authority TO deal with it
effectively. however, without
awaiting authority. We are inves-
tigatlng to ascertain the cause and
remedies applicable"

N. P, COAL Theft
CASE FALLS FLAT

CONNELL, Wash, Dec. 20.-A
jury here found little difficulty in
returning a verdict of acquittal in
the case of Thomas Wynn, accused
of stealing coal from Northern Pa
cific cars. Wynn was arrested
with others on the charge of theft
because of the fact that coal has
been taken from the cars during
the prevailing fuel famine. When
he was acquitted the verdict was
loudly applauded and the court
dismissed the remaining charges
on motion of the prosecuting attor-
ney.
