LAST Thursday the senate committee
on railroads decided to report substi-
tute for the two-cent fare bill favored by
Gov. Warner, which permits only roads
earning less than $1,000 per mile from
passenger traffic to charge more than two
cents a mile The substitute measure
provides a two-cent rate on all roads
earning over g.. 900 a mile two and one
half cents on roads earning less than
s., 1000 and more than 81 1000, and three
cents a mile earning less than $1,000.
For roads in the upper peninsula fiat
rate of three cents is fixed by the bill.
Senators Seeley and Ely stood for the
fiat two-cent rate with only the exemp-
ton of the roads earning less than
81 900, but three of the committee, Sen
ators jerks, Kinnane and Fuller be-
lieyed the measure that was reported was
the more just. The three therefore con-
trolled.

A GREAT strike involving forty rail-
roads in the territory west of Chicago,
and $4,000 employees seem imminent.
Negotiations between the employees and
the managers of the railroads have long
been in progress for peaceful settlement
of the points in dispute. but thus far
without result. The issue is one of wages
and hours. The employees demand an in
crease of II per cent in wages and the
nine hour day; the railroad managers are
willing to concede an increase equivalent
to an average of 8 IL per cent, but insist
upon the ten hour day. The managers
have offered to submit the points at issue
to arbitration, but the employees through
their representatives refuse to accede to
this, contending that If the railroads are
ready to take chances on an arbitration
award they ought to be willing to grant
the increase without arbitration.

Mr.. +. A. Sterling, who has been in
for the Forest Service, has resigned to
become forester of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road System. This is the first appoint
ment of technically trained forester by
an American railroad, and shows recogni-
ton of the necessity for practical forestry.
The adoption of forestry by commercial
organizations has been prophesied for
several years, and is fast becoming ne
cessity. In France the owners of wood
lands are required by law to see that the
tree growth is kept up, failing which the
government takes the land and promotes
the work of reforestation.
Under the supervision of the Forest
Service the Pennsylvania railroad has
already planted a million and half of
trees. Tree planting on waste lands will
be continued, and it is likely that addi-
tional land will be purchased, particular
ly second growth loblolly pine lands in
Maryland and Virginia. II will require
10000 acres to supply the ties needed
on the lines east of Pittsburg Six hun
dred acres in Pennsylvania will be
planted this spring and next with chest
nut and red oak seedlings. The Pennsyl-
vania railroad uses 5H million ties year
and feels the pressure of necessity to pro-
vide for supply of them.
