One would scarce expect the Bir-
mingham Ledger to perpetrate any
thing quite so funny as the following:
Deneen won out in Indiana after a
struggle that gives the Democrats
hope of electing Adlai Stevenson gov
ernor. Indiana is a decidedly doubtful
state. Mr.. StevenSOns victory would
make him a presidential possibility
were IL not for his age.-Birmingham
Ledger.
OF course, everybody knows that
Deneen and Stevenson belong in I'LL
nOis, where they were chosen in a
recent primary as the candidates of
their respective parties fer the COVER
norship. not of Indiana but of Hi
nois. Then when it is remembered
that the. number of republican votes
cast for Deneen was about four times
the number of democratic votes cast
for Stevenson the dry humor of the
Ledger's paragraph can be appreciate

The tendency observable in large
and successful business enterprises
and rival concerns is not confined to
any one class of industries but is
everywhere apparent, even newspa-
pers being no exception, much as they
have denounced the practice as a ten
dency to destroy competition. A case
in point comes from Louisiana,
where the New Orleans Daily States

RISE IN FREIGHT
RATES POSSIBLE
YET, SAYS MCREk
Trunk Lines May Act Despite
Baer's Opposition-WiIl
Investigate Further"

NEW YORK, July 1S.-That the
Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia : and
Reading and other railroads in the
Eastern Trunk Line Association have
not abandoned their intention to raise
freight rates, despite the reported oppo-
sition of President George F. Baer. Is
indicated in a statement made by Presi-
dent James McCrea. of the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
President McCrea acknowledges there
is still a disposition to increase rates
upon certain kinds of freight. While
denying that there was any serious
break by the railroad presidents upon
the subject at the meeting of the asso-
citation held in New York on Thursday.
President McCrea admits that the gath
ering was not entirely harmonious and
that as a result of the difference of
opinion further investigation will be
made of the subject.
In business circles 1t is generally be-
lieved that the Hartman interests fully
expected that a general increase in
freight rates would be ordered at
Thursdays meeting and that the oppo-
sition which was led b yPresident Baer
upset their plans.
President Baer is reported to nave
asserted his belief that the railroads
should attempt to increase the proper
tion of their net earnings by other
means than raising freight rates. and
amor other things to have suggested
that the wages of employees be cut
proportionately to the falling off i'm
business. The fear of a strike prevent
ed this suggestion from obtaining a
popular reception.
In the meantime shippers are still
preparing to fight any increase in
freight rates. claiming that such q
move upon the part of railroads would
place another clog in the wheels of the
business industry of the country.
In the opinion of Judson c. Glenn
ents. a member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. the proposed gem
eral increase of freight rates would
constitute a violation of the Sherman
antitrust law and would render all
the railroads concerned liable to Sc
we're penalties.
