GRATING IN
HIGH PLACES

WATERBURY. Conn, Sept A.
Representative Lilliey, member of the
house naval affairs committee, who
has been criticised because of his out
spoken attitude on Charleston harbor,
has written an open letter in which
he says.
"If I had the supreme law making
power of this county, the only crime
punishable by death would be that Of
grating. Murder would receive sec
ondary consideration.
Any man who sits as a member of
the committee of naval affairs and
uses his efforts to obtain an appropria-
tion for some tumble down navy yard
in his district to the end that he may
provide well paid jobs for his consti-
tutents is grating. Not single dol
lar may touch his hands, but just the
same he is grating out of the United
States government which he is paid tc
serve and has sworn to serve.

MAKE ONE
RESPONSIBLE
Railroads Make Radical
Changes In Handling
Coal Supply

PORTLAND, Sept. IA most rad
ical change has just been made in the
manner of handling the fuel supply of
the mechanical department has han
died the coal and has employed con-
tractors to transfer it from the cars
to the coal bunkers. Different prices
have been paid at different places, and
unlimited trouble has been experience
ed with contractors and employees in
handling the fuel.
The officials now believe they have
satisfactorily settled this vexing ques-
ton for all time. by giving w. r. Tenn
pleton of Portland the contract for
handling the fuel supply of the entire
o. r. & N. system, thus placing the
responsibility of the fuel situation on
one man, instead of being forced to
deal with a large number of individ-
ual contractors and laborers.
The fuel force is one of the largest
on the system, and this subject re-
quires much attention. At Umatilla
The Dalles. Albina, Pendleton. Bing-
ham Springs, Kamela, La Grande. Tel
ocaset, Baker City, Pleasant Valley
and Huntington on the main line OF
the system coal shoveling forces are
maintained and also at numerous
places on the Washington division, and
heretofore there has been no regular
ity nor similarity of service owing to
the fact that at each place was sub
contractor or else day laborers work
ing at the coal handling
Now the entire matter has been
turned over to Mr.. Templeton, who will
be responsible to the railroad company
at each of these places and who will
employ in his own way, whether by
day labor or sub-contract.
This win relieve the mechanical and
operating departments of much worry
and annoyance and it is believed will
simplify the coal handling question
over the entire system.

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-THE situa-

Shipped out of the city $40
Which brings the total death rate to
1924, and out of this amount 1853 have
been buried in the Negro cemeteries.
There is no record of how many
shipped out of Nashville were colored.
and how many that died in the sub
urbs were sent to their relatives over
land to the country. Hence it can be
readily seen that out of the city OF
Nashville with its claimed 125, 1000 pop
ulation, and only $4,000 Negroes, more
than one-third of the death rate is on
the colored side of the ledger. The
tuberculosis convention would do well
to revive it's interest and look after
the brothers in black.
