Washington. -Chile's failure to send
a minister to Washington to replace
Walker Martinez, who did not return
home after the Pan.Amcrican confer.
ence at Rio Janiero last summer. has
caused much comment The neglect
of the Chilean congress to appropriate
sufficient money to maintain the lega
ton has been given as a reason for
leaving the American mission in
charge of Alberto Yoacham, secretary
of the legation. But it has just be
come known that the real cause was
hidden deep in Latin American poll
tics
Chile decided It would be a good
idea to have an ambassador in Wash
ington and steps were taken TO dis
cover what the United states thought
of the proposed elevation of the Chill
can representative to Washington.
The suggestion that the Chilean en-
voy might be raised to ambassadorial
rank set all LatinAmeriCa on edge
and a general movement was instl
tuted by the southern republics TO
head off such movement Argentina,
being uniriendly to Chile, was egpec.
Tally opposed to the plan, as Brazil
and Chile are always rated as allies
and Argentina did. not want her two
strongest rivals to outstrip her in
American representation.
II h1s not been the policy of the
state department to send ambassadors
20 any country which cannot be ranke I
as a world power, and when the hos.
tility Of the rest of South America
TO such a change became known, the
United States decided that the ques-
tion bad better not be agitated further

Biz Rednctioa in Number Employees
VIII Be Made July I

Chicago, 11ne Railroad mama
gers here estimate that by the end Of
the first week in June the railroads of
the country win have discharged be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 men now
employed. Some estimates put the
number much higher. This does not
take into account the large number
Of laborers and others recently dis
missed because Of abandoned exten-
sions and other improvements. Orders
were recently issued for the strictest
economy and the reduction Of forces
to the lowest possible point.
The New York Central is to reduce
many Of its payrolls fully one-thirl.
If the order is carried out literally in
all departments it would mean the
discharge Of $4,000 employees on this
system alone.
Railroad managers say they rather
welcome the opportunity to weed out
hundreds Of incompetents forcei on
them during the rush season, and to
whom it is asserted, many wrecks and
destruction Of life and property can
be traced. Aside from this the roads
expect to save few millions in
wages during the summer. when traf-
hc is light. The heaviest cuts will be
in the operating departments, in tbs
shops and among the clerks.
Many Of the employees will be taker
back whc- the business becomes
heavy ageia, but strong effort vii
be made to shut out permanently, tn
incompetents and undersirables. TIL
discharged track layers and Others
who were working on extensions an
like improvements will not be reem
ployed until the financial market
more promising.
