RAIL EXTRAS TO END
CHICAGO ROADS WILL STOP PRIV.
ILEGES.
800 MEN ARE IN THIS WORK
Will Discontinue Furnishing Helpers
to Assist Shippers in IN
loading Their
Cars.
Special to Daily Herald.

SPSSAdA W A<uAiy AlCA oAhs
Chicago, Oct. 30.-Railroads center,
ing in Chicago have decided to lop OFF
all the privileges and all the extra ser
vice which grew up under the stress
of competition prior to the passage OF
the Hepburn amendment A start in
this direction has been made by a
joint notice sent out by all roads here
that they will discontinue the practice
of furnishing man to assist the ship
pers in unloading cars on team tracks.
1t is said that there are at least SOC
men employed by the Chicago roads
in this service, which is service en-
tirely for the benefit of the shipper
and one which he should perform for
himself The notice will soon be ex-
tended to cover every large shipping
center in the United States, for the
attorneys have told the railroads that
to perform such a service in one city
and to refuse to perform it in another
would be a discrimination within the
meaning of the law.
The protest which the shippers are
making against the new rule is deter
mined and bitter Each railroad is
now in receipt of scores of letters in
dignantly insisting that it is an out
rage to make the shippers pay for
something which they have been get
ting for years. free. 1t is also insist
ed that if the men are withdrawn and
the shippers compelled to hire their
own work done it will result in great
deal of business now done on team
tracks being thrown back into the
railroad warehouses.
How Practice Started.
The practice of assisting the shipper
to unload his freight grew up in an
effort to secure business. In the old
days of competition each railroad was
trying to devise concessions and pref
erences which would secure business
from competitors. Some railroad con
ceived the idea that if it's patrons were
saved part of the expense of unloading
when shipping over that line more
practice became known it was adopt
ed by every road and none had an adj
vantage.
The shippers, however, have had so
many privileges and so much free ser
vice for so many years that they have
come to look upon them as a part of
their inheritance. The interstate com
merce commission has repeatedly stat
ed that the sooner the railroads got
away from the practice of giving ship
pers something for nothing the better
it would be for the general service.

 The exceedingly exceptional scene was witnessed here today of more than two hundred women upon the streets of the city carrying petitions to their neighbors against statutory prohtbt- ton. On the prominent thorouhgfares of the city these petitions were signed by ninety per cent of the women to whom they were presented. It had not heretofore been believed that Mobile

 Carmichael bill would have the effect of cuftailing the school session m Mobile from nine to five months ano that 1t would also have the effect or reducing the pay of teachers by per haps fifty per cent.
 Arrangement was made tonight for the suspension of the schools on Tues day and Wednesday for the purpose or permitting the teachers to go to Mont Romery in body and do all they could | to effect the defeat of the Carmichael bill.

Episcopal Bishop Thinks Sacred Legend
 should Remain on Coins.
 New York, Nov, 16--The Right Rev, Frederick Burgess, Episcopal Bishop of Long Island. in an interview declared that President Roosevelt did wrong in eliminating the motto 'In God We Trust" from the new ten dollar gold pieces, but defnded him by saying that he was actuated by the highest motives of reverence.
 'sThe importance of the proposed re- moval has been greatly exaggerated, he said.
 "President Roosevelt was ac-uated by the highest motives of reverence. and yet he was mistaken In supposing that any harm was caused to the re- ligions of the country by the subject. Everything sacred, from marriage downward. is made q subject for humor by the American people and papers but it ought not. in, my opinion, to in fluence our chief magistrate to take from our coins the name of God at this time especially when our people need to remember God more than ever in their financial transactions.
 'It is a pity that a question has been raised. but now that 1t has been, I hope the inscription, which was in- spired by faithful people at a critical time in their history, will not now be erased, when the republic needs all it's religion to face its difficulties"

 The benson fund for each year em- braces the soldiers tax, levied for the previous year. and any additional ap- propriation made by the Legislature. The appropriation of s1e0,00o ceased on Sept 30, 1906. and the appropria- ton of the last Legislature begin on October l. 1907. so there is no appro- priation for the year 1907. except the 1903. 1'
 The bill passed at the last session of the Legislature prevented the dis .tribution on October 1, 1907, as here tofore, and provides quarterly pay ments of same. This prevents the old soldiers from receiving all of their pen sions for the4+year 1907 until July i, 1905. although the money has been in the treasury since Jul yIst. last.
 On July 1. 1908. when the last pay ment of the 1907 pension is made, the entire tax for the year 1907 will have been collected and paid into the treas ury. but cannot be disbursed until tn . following year. In other words, there will always be in the treasury any. where from s2oo.0oo to s4o0 900 be- longing to this fund. with no provision for its disbursement.
 Under the provisions of my bills and the balance of the pensions due for the year 1907, will be paid within thir- ty days. and the pensions for the year 1908 and subsequent years will be paid quarterly, beginning January 18th, 1908.
 T believe the old soldiers are more entitled to receive their pensions as the money is collected than are the banks In which this money is de- posited."
