TO BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
Committee Works on Plan to Collect
and Diffuse Information.

Chicago, Ill, July 23.-To foster a
better understanding among the pub
lie, the shippers and railroads, details
Of a plan are being worked out for the
collection and diffusion of correct in
formation in regard to railroad rates,
the relation they bear to the value OF
commodities and other pertinent in
formation. Definite study will be made
in the various sections of the country
of the causes of any dissatisfaction
that may be found, for the purpose of
explaining the conditions that deter
mine the attitude of the railroads, or
if analysis shall demonstrate that they
are at fault, of removing causes of just
complaint. This understanding is in
pursuance of the belief that If both
the public and the railroads have a
clearer and a fuller knowledge and a
better understanding, many differences
which now give rise to irritation will
not only be lessened but removed.
A bureau of railway economics, with
central Office at Washington, will be
charged with the collection, compila-
ton and verification of statistics, and
the consideration of events of general
interest in the field of transportation.
The committee which is formulating
this plan on behalf of the railroads is
composed of w. c. Brown, president of
the New York Central lines; E. P.
Ripley, president of the Santa Fe; w.
w. Finley president Of the Southern
railway; Darius Miller, president of
the Burlington; Daniel Willard, presi-
dent of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
and B. L. Winchell, president Of the st.
Louis & San Francisco.

ENCOURAGES CLEAN RECORDS.
Lehigh Valley Adopts System Of Merit
and Dement'S.

New York, July 23.-For many
years the Lehigh Valley railroad has
punished minor attractions o. its rules
by what are known as record sus-
pensions" The old method was to sus-
pend a man for a certain period, there
by depriving him of the wages which
he would otherwise earn. AS this not
only disciplined the employe, but in
many cases worked a hardship on his
family, a system Of record suspen-
is lost by the employe.
However. the suspension of one
week, two weeks or one month, as the
case might be, is, entered against his
record in the same manner as If he
were actually out of service for that
time. These records are taken into
consideration when an employe is con-
sidered for promotion, or Is being dis
ciplined for some further violation of
the rules.
Record suspensions" having been
found to be as efficient as actual sus-
pensions, it being a matter of personal
pride with railroad men to have clear
record, it was decided by the Lehigh
Valley railroad to revise further their
system of discipline so that beginning
July 1, 1910. employees with imperfect
records would have an opportunity to
clear them by loyal and efficient serv-
ice in the future. and to provide a sys-
tenn whereby their future records
would receive the benefits of meritor-
ious service.
Clear records for stated periods will
be recognized by credit allowances,

The candidacy of Dick Hopkins for

cause of the insurgents and declared
his determination to support the prin-
ciples and policies of the administra-

course is certain to win with the Kan
sas people. They are tired of gum
shoe politics and are eager to support
the man who is fair, open and candid
