The original request for seniority rights
and better wages was made November /,
and, after a long session of the railway
managers and superintendents which
lasted almost to February, the men were
turned down with the answer that the
railroads would be willing to submit the
proposition to arbitration. w. L. Park Of
Omaha, superintendent Of the Union Pa

The firemen asked for a raise of 10 per
cent in wages for men in the passenger

COMPETITOR IS SUBSIDIZED
Traffic Manager objects to Term, but
Admits Arrangement with Rival
that Keeps Up
Rates.

NEW YORK, March 1.-why the South
ern Pacific should maintain s. rate of
railroad ties and reduce that rate to $21O
on other rough lumber from Willamette
valley TO San Francisco bay points was a
pertinent subject OF inquiry today by the
government attorneys in the suit TO dis
solve the Union Pacific Southern Pacific
merger
Counsel for the government wanted to
know from the witness, George w. Luce.
general freight agent of the Southern Pa
cific, IL the high rate on ties was not due
to the fact that the Western Pacific rail-
road was building line into San FRANCISCO
and was getting its ties from the william
ette valley
Mr.. Luce denied that his road had any
intention of hlnderlng the new road in
getting the ties. He said that the rate
on all rough lumber had first been raised
to IS and then lowered to 1910 on complaint
Of the mill men. The only reason the ad-
vanced rate was maintained for ties, he
added, was because they were considered
a finished commodity able to stand the
rate, He admitted, however, that he had
never heard Of another instance where
this distinction was made.
Mr.. Luce testified that the Southern Pa
NAAlS ldu never SulCiNeu freight
traffic in San Francisco, but he admitted
that 1t might have been done in a small
way in Portland.
The Southern Pacific did make one
effort to secure the Portland business dur
ing the rate war" he said, but gave up
the attempt in disgust"
General Traffic Manager r. e. Miller
of The Oregon Railroad and Navigation
company, did not like the use Of the word
Subsidized" today when General Counsel
Severance, in the Union Pacifci merger
hearing. asked the witness IL It was not
a fact that the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation company lIad subsidized a
competing steamship company to induce
It to maintain the water rate between the
two coast ports.
After objecting to the word Subsidized"
the witness replied:
I'VE did have an arrangement to put
traffic into this line"

WILL WATCH RATES GEENLY|
Omaha Commercial Club to Keep
Congressman Posted.
INTERSTATE Law NOW INVOLVED
Special Attention. TO BE Paid to the
COmmOdity Rates to Omaha
and other Rates from
This CIty'

Representatives in congress OF Nebraska
and Iowa will be kept informed by the
Commercial club as to the action of the
railroads in attempting to increase the
commodity rates to Omaha and the other
rates from this city.
This is to be done because the Inter
state Commerce law is now in the lime
light and because President Taft wants It's
scope enlarged By the present law the
railroads are able to make a basing point
or a gateway wherever they choose.
The information will also be used in the
investigation into the increase Of the cost
of living. If $40 a car ia added to all the
dressed meat products which are sent east
from Omaha, 1t will add materially to the
cost OF edibles during the year in the
cast. II the eastern price is increased it
will naturally increase the cost of these
products at home.
Considerable interest attaches to the rate
war because this is the first time the Great
Western has had an opportunity to show
its hand under it's new ownership. When
President Stickney was at the helm he
could be relied upon to protect the western
markets and proved himself a friend of
these markets on several occasions. 1t
seems to be different since j. p. Morgan
bought the road under the hammer for
$1S 100000, or about 5000 a mile. When the
trial came Morgan was found lined up
with the other big roads and not sticking
TO the western markets. as did President
Stickney.

and thence to the English markets,
where they have been for some weeks
realizing good prices. Though ex-
posed to the full blast of the Atlantic,
yet the climate here is comparatively
mild in the winter and spring, which
enables the early potato and other
vegetables to be marketed in time to
fetch good prices.

and decay of industry which had taken
place in fertile and once prosperous
country, and all because Ireland was
saddled with an exorbitant and un.
just debt.
In closing his speech O'Connell ut
tered these words: you have stood
by me long-stand by me little long
er, and Ireland shall be Free
No words could show more clearly
the firm confidence the speaker had In
the triumph of his cause Thus have
Irishmen before O'Connell and since
his time hoped for the ultimate res
toration of their rights whether the
immediate future looked gloomy or
bright. And Irishmen will continue to
hope for Irelands freedom until it is
at last realized, when hope will melt
into happiness.
Many changes have taken place since
the 18th of August, 1S43, and the Irish
Parliament which O'Connell hoped to
see on College Green has not been
opened yet. But the day has come when
circumstances justify more than ever
the prediction that q not too distant
future will see the glorious reaiza-
ton of that hope.

institutions and public schools alike
is one of the most effective means tina:
could be inaugurated to encourage and
promote education.
The Catholic Church has always
maintained that the three-fold train
ing-mental, moral and physical-are
necessary for the proper development
of the child. The time has come
when the Catholic position is being
taken by those outside of the Church.
Echoes of what the church has been
teaching for years are beginning to be
heard among Protestant churchmen of
all denominations and while none of
them has as yet put this idea to prac-
tlcal use to the extent that Catholics
have done in building and maintaining
colleges and academies wherein they
may provide for the religious educa-
ton of their children, the time is
doubtless coming when Protestants
will advance along this line. When
that time comes Protestants will feel
the burden of double taxation which
Catholics are bearing now and then
the agitation for a change in the
present system is likely to grow more
acute
In the meantime the plan followed
out by the University of New York
has some features that are we'll worth
considering. 1t offers a system of edu-
cation wherein religion is given the
place which rightly belongs to it on
the curriculum and the injustice of
double taxation is eliminated in a large
degree.

The spirit which prompts such an
action is the spirit Of anarchy which
has Its origin not in legitimate
cause, but which springs into being
among those disconnected people
whose negative reasoning facul-
ties. instead OF leading them to
seek remedy for their troubles,
cause them to see in the laws which
have been promulgated for the COM
mon good, a direct injustice done to
themselves.
Drink, dissipation and the conse-
quent discomfort together with brood
ing of his condition and contrasting
1t with others who were better off
than he, We're the causes which in
famed this latest notorious criminal.
1t is impossible to prevent such crimes
by legislation. Men are not equal in
talents and no matter how equita BILE
the laws may be there will be those
who will prosper while others will re-
main in poverty.
If there is any remedy by which
these evils can be lessened it rests
with the parents and the teachers who
are in a large degree responsible for
the formation of the character of the
children intrusted to them, Habits of
profiigacy and dissipation formed In
early youth are the principal causes
that lead up to crimes such as occurred
in New York last Tuesday.
The country would profit more by
passing laws and appropriating funds
for the proper moral training of chill
dren than by legislation against crime.
We hear a great deal these days about
the necessity Of pure air and cleanli-
ness for the maintenance of physical
we'll being. 1t is only right that we
should use every precaution to pre-
serve our health. But how about our
spiritual well, being? We could we'll
afford to give more attention to the
moral atmosphere in which We live,
for sound body without sound and
properly developed mind is rather a
menace than an asset to the state.
