ATTACK LONG AND
SHORT HAUL RULE
Counsel for Railroads Assail Commerce
Boards Jurisdiction In Some
Matters.

Washington, Nov. 29,-The whole
question as to the extent Of the appli-
cation of the long and short haul clause
OF the amended interstate commerce
law, particularly in connection with ex.
port and import, trans-shipment, por-
tional excursion and communication rates,
was discussed at a conference before
the interstate commerce commission yes
terday.
The questions arise under the fourth
section Of the bill passed just before
the adjournment of the last session of
Congress and counsel for many railroads,
under a general notice recently issued
hy the commission were present yester-
day to explain their views to the COM
mission.
The conference did not bear upon the
merits OF any particular applications OF
class Of applications for reHef under the
fourth section, but had to do with the
meaning and application of the section
on certain points.
George Stewart Patterson, counsel for
New England railroads, was one OF the
first attorneys heard.
Counsel contended that section 4 had
no application to the import and ex-
port traffic that the international and
part Of the import and export traffic
rate was proportional rate and with
the local and domestic rates. and that
the through charge for such traffic was
not a matter over which the commits
sion had entire jurisdiction. They con
tended that the rate from a foreign port
10 an intermediate port might be less
than from seaboard point in the United
States TO an intermediate.

TO CHECK A
GENERAL DECLINE
I'm HEALTH
Is Often Difficult When There
Is No Apparent Cause.
In a Majority of Cases the Trouble
Is in the Blood and When 1t Is
Built up a Gore Follows.

A condition OF i'll health in which there
is no specific disorder but in which the
patient continues to waste away for no
apparent reason, is battling one for the
physician TO treat. Not every one is in a
position to take sea voyage or trip to
the mountains and frequently this is all
that the practitioner can advise.
General debility is generally due to inn
pure blood. Its causes are worry, over
work, failure OF the body to regain its
health after a severe sickness, lack OF
nourishment from disordered digestion,
or some drain upon the body, all OF
which result in thinning the blood, pre-
venting it from carrying health and nour-
ishment to the tissues of the body.

remedy especially adapted for such debil-
itated and anemic conditions as existed

Friends Depend Upon Sincerity.


What is the secret of making friends ?
Sincerity That, and that alone.
OF course acquaintance may be made
in other ways. Friends Of prosperous
days that won't stick by you in time Of
trouble may be bought and bribed by
automobile rides, by luncheons and din-
ners and expensive entertaining, but
real friends demand sincerity, says the
New Haven Journal Courier.
If You don't want to be sincere, if
you haven't the time or patience to be
or you haven't the quality in you then
you had better not attempt to make
friends at all. You will only make flu
ture enemies instead or shallow ac-
qusintances who will give you more
heartache shan pleasure.
Its an odd thing about tncerity.
It's the only thing in life that every
one wants It's never out of style,
never de trop You can stand oceans
Of it. The most frivolous woman alive,
the most unstable, dreams Of a SIM
cere friend and hrRts until she finds
one.
Some women will give almost every
thing for 1t, and YOU who aspire to be
friend need not feel poor in your
gifts if you have that to offer, even
though You live in a han bedroom and
all the treating must be done on the
other side.

SAY IT MEANS W AR
Coal Operators Of This District
Declare Miners Demands
Unreasonable.
COST 25 PER CENT MORE
Meeting VIII Be Held at Peoria Feb.
10 at Which Differences Will
Be Discussed.

Peoria. Ill.,, Jan 26.-An outline of
what the coal miners of this district
and the Springfield district will ask
the operators at the convention which
begins in this city Feb. Is have been
received by the operators here, and
it means inevitable war.
The operators, said a man who is
interested in many mines in these dis
tricts, will be asked to put telephones
through every entry in each mine.
They will be asked to pay the shot
firers. This at the present time is
done by the miners. That question
alone will cause a strike, he says, for
it means that the operators must as
sumo all responsibility for losses of
life, caused by men who are not in
their employ. The men will ask that
all shafts be concreted instead Of be-
ing built of wood; they want the mule
stables and rooms to be of concrete;
they want machine mining to be paid
for on the same basis as hand mining,
and on top of it all they will ask fiat
increase of 10 per cent.
AhSEeaSc lost FER cent.
According to this operator, it costs
about 81 per ton to dig coal and get it
on board cars at railway mines in
these two districts. The miners in the
Peoria district get CO cents per ton
and in the Springfield district So cents
for hand mining. The operator is fore
ed to pay the drivers, engineers, trip
pers, furnish the mules, stable and
feed them, and operate the plant,
which expenses bring the cost of a ton
of coal up to 81. Should everything
the miners are expected to ask be
granted it would make coal cost to the
operators run from $1.15 to SIPS, and
if this operator voices the general
opinion among the operators, there
will be a strike, and good, long one,
before the demands are acceded. Be
tween 5000 and 10000 miners are en-
ployed in the Peoria district and prob
ably three times that number in the
Springfield district.

Better Than Their Labor and Morals,
Says California Senator.
State Senator Frank MCGOWAN of
California in an address before the
convention of building trades Of Cali
fornia, the other day at Monterey, Cal,
declared that the Pacific coast was
threatened with food of "the cheap
labor and cheaper morals of Japan"
'It is better" he said, "to have a
war with Japan than to have this
country filed with these people. who
by their cheaper mode of living can
drive out the white man in any occu-
patton they enter" He attacked the
last legislature for what he called Its
cowardice in refusing to enact more
vigorous exclusion laws against the
Japanese" ''They fawned before ia
pan for fear of a conflict between our
two civilizations" he said. The only
war MCGOWAN said he feared was
war between the two standards of life,
IN which America would go down to
defeat.
