Charles G. Mccain of New York
city, chairman of the Trunk Line as
ISOLATION, was examined before the
commission regarding the publication
by the association of a pamphlet en-
titled 1.-THE Diminished Purchasing
Power of Railroad Earnings"
He said he had distributed 23,509
copies of this book at cost of $1,000.
The purpose of the pamphlet, he. said,
was to assert need for readjustment
and increase of rates.
Railroad Industry Threatened.
It declared that there had been
"since 1897 a great reduction in rail-
way freight rates, which has gone so
far as to endanger the maintenance
of the present level of railway wages
and to threaten the stability of the
whole railway industry and all allied
INDUSTRIES
E. E. Williamson of Cincinnati,
freight commissioner for the CONNER
cial organizations of that city, was
recalled and examined regarding the
figures he had studied and analysed
concerning the Erie and other rail-
roads,
He had severely criticised the Erie
for overcapitalization and the exam
ination by counsel for the road was
to bring out that the situation on the
road was far different than that in
the years past which the witness had
dwelt upon.
He said the Erie was handicapped
with fixed charge per mile of $45, 900
more than the Baltimore and Ohio
and the latter had a surplus from the
present level of rates.

WOMAN'S TOWN IMPROVEMENT
COMMITTEE.

The chairman and two members of
the Woman's Town Improvement COM
mittee attended the meeting of the
Federation of Women's clubs held at
Princeton on June 18th. The commit
tee has not yet identified itself with
that body, but hopes to do so before
long. feeling that such organization
can be of great mutual benefit.
1t was interesting to note that al
though many of the federated clubs
were at the outset purely literary or
social, many had realized the import.
ance of civic interest, and are now en-
gagged in active work along those lines.
Several valuable suggestions were re-
ceived at this meeting, which it is
hoped may later on prove of use to
the MorriStown association.
1t is interesting to compare the diff
ferent methods OF disposing ofgarbage.
In Paris, for instance, the house refuse
is set out in front of houses during the
night in tin, zinc or galvanized iron
cans or boxes~Sand collected in the
early morning by large wagons belong
ing to the municipality.
The city charges for this service an
ordinary family in a fat $1,000 per
year. The wagons carry the refuse to
the river Seine and there dump it into
inclined chutes, which discharge it in
to barges.
Both on the barges and on the street
before collection. this matter is over
hauled by chiffonieres, who sort out
and take away rags, paper and other
articles.
Several private establishments in
the neighborhood of Paris take the
rubbish so collected and dispose of it
in return for the bottles, glass, crock
cry, etc., which they can sort out from
| it. The most important of these es-
Establishments is at Bondy, about eight
miles east OF Paris, and is operated by a
company, which was organized for this
purpose, after the Paris government
had failed in its attempt to destroy
the garbage by burning.
At these plants the company care
fully remove all merchantablc matter,
which has not been previously OBJ
tanned by the chiffonieres. Tin cans
are cut up for the tin, large Quantitie:
of which are sent to Germany to be
used In making toys. The rough bones
are used for making glue. The finel
