TEMPERANCE WORK is BARRED.
Presbyterian Church Of Washington
Fears Strains Of
Politics.

Washington, April F.-Organized
work within the church in the interest
of temperance is to be prohibited by
the presbytery Of Washington on the
ground that 1t Is. impossible to fight
intemperance without entering politics
according to action taken to the Pres
byterian spring conference here yes
terday.
Rev. DR. Wallace of Radcliffe led the
forces which finally caused the aban-
donment of an active temperance cru
sade. He explained that in Illinois
and Pennsylvania where the church
authorities, had gone before the state
legisiatslres in opposition to the liquor
traffic the church had brought down
upon 1t adverse criticism from friends
and enemies alike
He urged that clear line be drawn
in church work; that the church re-
strict It's efforts to training men and
women to be Christian citizens and
leave 1t to them as individuals to de-
eide whether they will participate in
the work of organizations which have
as their object the improvement of
the moral, physical and mental condi-
tion of mankind.

BURLINGTON TO
STAR I Big
RATE WAR
Road Notifies Passenger AS
sociation That 1t Will
Protect interests by
Commissions

CHlcaSO, April l7.-The famous anti
commission agreement signed ten
years ago by the presidents of the rail-
roads in the United States and Canada
Is now mum mbereds with nayriad-of
F"gentlemen.s agreement" which have
been made and broken, and big rail-
way rate war is on.
The Burlington system formally no.
titled the chairman of the Western
Passenger association yesterday that,
beginning at once, the Burlington will
take such steps In the direction of pay
ment of commissions as we find nee
essary to protect our interests"
This Is the first time that any rail
road has openly declared that it would
pay commissions since the railway
presidents ten years ago agreed that
under no circumstances would they
pay commission in any form on the
sale of tickets over their respective
lines.
100 Ride Ticket Cause.
The introduction of the 100 ride tick
ct at net rate of Sc and the with
drawal Of the Burlington from the
anti-commission agreement makes in
evitable bitter rate war between the
st. Paul-Chicago lines, which is ceatain
to extend to the roads from Chicago to
the Atlantic seaboard All the COM
petitors of the Burlington will be fore
ed to pay commissions If they secure
any of the steamship" business, and
from the payment of commissions on
that to all other classes of traffic is
but short step. There is nothing in
the act to regulate commerce or in the
antitrust law to prevent a railroad
from paying commissions to ticket
agents of another railroad or to any
body who secures business, provided
the passenger or shipper does not get
portion of the commission.
Rate War Likely to Spread.
From present indications the rate
war between the western railroads will
spread to Omaha, Denver. Kansas City
and other gateways. Some of the most
conservative passenger officials predict
that the rate war will not end until an
agreement has been made between the
presidents whereby the weaker roads
in the west will have "differential' or
lower rates thaa the stronger lines be-
tween all important centers.
The eastern railroads had to resort
to this policy to stop almost an un-
broker rate war 1t practically amounts
to the strong lines paying the weak
roads to stop cutting rates. There
have been several rate wars between
the eastern lines over "differentials"
with the result that today nearly every
railroad has a"differential" between
some points. The "differential' policy
is just the opposite of letting every
tub stand on it's own BOTTOM but on
the whole it has worked well for the
eastern roads, and the western lines
will apparently be forced to adopt it.
The next step in the western rate
war will probably be the adoption of
the 100-ride tickets. good for bearer, at
half the regular rate, between this
city and Omaha. st. Louis and Kansas
City. This viii affect rates all the way
to the Pacific coast. and probably will
lead to open reductioTs in rates on In
dividual tickets. The war promises to
be one of the worst ever known in
the west.
