That a subway be established as a

that an Underground car service in the

the Ne - ,rk subway.
The PROCEED plan includes an under
ground station at Fifteenth street and
New York avenue, and the construction
OF ? subway from Pennsylvania avenue
and Seventeenth street 20 the south end
OF the Treasury building. and for the
Fourteenth street line from I street TO

The result would be-" says SEr
Love, that Pennsylvania avenue in

have but the one double track OF the
II street line. and Fourteenth street
would have but one line on the now

RATE FIGHT is GENERAL
Entire United States Takes Up Fight
to Prevent Increase in the Tariff
Railroads Force Support.

New York.-The fight for and
against the increased freight rates
by the railroads of the country is rap
idly taking on titanic proportions.
On the side of the railroads are be-
ing lined up the manufacturers of
railway materials, equipments and
supplies, and through them every per-
son who draws benefit from the sale
or manufacture OF materials used by
the railroads and all merchants who
profit from the wage earners of those
so employed.
On the other side are the manufac-
tureres, farmers and shippers general
ly. Injected into the fight are the
thousands of commuters who are en-
ragged because Of the announcement
that all Communication rates are to be
increased to meet the increased pay
rolls" of the railroads.
The commuters first wanted to
know why they were to be the goats"
and stand the burden of the wage in
creases. Then came the announce
ment that freight rates were going up
for the same reason, and the commut-
ers have Joined hands with the ship
pers to aid the attorney general in
his fight to keep rates down.
The inevitable result is conflict
that will interest every man, woman
and child in the United States. So
far the railroads have the worst of
the struggle, inasmuch as the increase
in freight rates in the west has been
enjoined in the federal court and the
eastern roads will probably be kept,
temporarily at least, from raising
their rates.

MINERS STRIKE GREAT
LOSS TO OPERATORS
Destruction of Many Shafts Predicted
by Owners ss Result Of
Workers Quitting.

Chicago, Ill.-Destruction of a great
deal of mine property, operators
declare, will follow in the wake of the
order issued by the officers Of the
United Mine Workers Of Illinois call
ing out on strike all engineers, fire.
men, pumpmen and emergency work
ers.
More than 1920 men deserted the
mines and by midnight practically
every mine in the state operated by
members of the Illinois Coal Opera
tors association was left without pro-
lection from water or other agents
of destruction. Reports received by
members of the association in Chicago
were that many of the wet mines
were filling with water.
Officers of the association sent a
message to Gov. Deneen calling his at
tention to the seriousness Of the sit
uation. The governor referred the
matter to Chairman B. F. Shadley of
the Illinois state board of arbitration,
who Immediately offered both sides
the services of the board.
The operators replied that in spite
of the fact that "the particular contro-
versy in question is hardly a subject
for arbitration, we are willing to arbi-
trate the entire subject"
1t was stated that it is unlikely that
the miners will agree to arbitration.
When the engineers and other work
ers walked out Of the mines the oper-
ators Immediately instructed their
mine managers and superintendent
to man the pumps. The operators de-
clare they fear these men will be
driven from the mines the moment any
work is attempted. In the event of
trouble of this kind, the operators will
apply for federal injunction against
the miners and an appeal may be
made to President Taft to intervene
in the same manner as did President
Roosevelt in the anthracite coal strike.

EARTHQUAKE ROCKS CUBA
Santiago Buildings Are Toppled over,
But Loss Of Life Is Small,
Says Report.

Havana, Cuba.-Reports from San
tiago, where violent earthquakes &C.
Cured, say that big damage resulted.
Business buildings toppled and resi-

the pavement was twisted from its
foundation.
Tremendous rumbling preceded the
quakes. Residents Of Santiago recog-
nized the indications Of the earth
quake and rushed from the buildings.
This averted death.
Only two or three deaths have been
reported. Scores of persons are still
panic stricken. Many, with what
property they could carry, are on their
way here.
