LOOKS BLUE FOR VACATIONS

The members Of the interstate COM
merce commission are contemplating the
immense amount of work which will
loom up before the organiza ton when
the railroad bill is enacted. Thousands
of rate cases will come up for adjudica
ton, and it is declared that these mat
tiers will be of more vital interest to the
country. Judged from a monetary stand
ard. than the commission has ever con-
templated facing. The question whether
the commission will see fit to allow the
increase in rates which many of the
roads propose is the one which is burn
ing in the contemplation of the roads.
Millions are at stake, it is pointed out.
The impression is growing at the COM
mission Offices that there is going to be
mighty little vacation season for the
members and employees. Commissioners
Lane and Clark are to go TO Europe
shortly to attend the International rail-
way conference. but will hurry back as
soon as the gathering closes.

Must Have Revenue.

"A going concern it is pointed out,
must have an adequate revenue The
present problem involves not merely the
amount which the railway shall receive
for carrying consignment. but its abil-
ity to carry it at ALL 1t embraces not
alone transportation efficiency, but gen.
eraI prosperity" 1t is suggested that
the heads of freight-paying enterprises
study the question at first hand in the
broadcast way, and by doing so they may
conclude that an advance may be for
their own best interests.
Lastly, the public is asked frankly TO
concede to the railways the necessity Tor
ADEQUATE revenue and await with pa
tience and good nature the findings of
the commission as to the feasonableness
OF the proposed rates.
The association managers point out In
conclusion, that 1T is not a crime to raise
q freight rate, but it is simply question
whether when raised it is, all things con-
sidered a reasonable rate. THE danger,
II is said, lies in hysterical attempts to
prevent orderly procedure under the la"

Railway Mems Views.

simultaneously with the clearing of the
decks for action at the commission Off
ces. leading railway men of the country,
composing the Railway Business Associa
ton, have met in New York to clear the
way for speedy action by the commission.
The association managers point to the
fact that they represent $so0.OOWn OF
invested capital, which speaks for a group
of industries giving employment to a mil
lion and a half of workmen and upon
which six million people depend for sup
port
In the statement which they have IS
sued il is declared that during the period
of uncertainty as to whether, as filed, the
rates are rea sonable or otherwise there
will be a disturbance Of industrial con-
ditions, and it is, therefore, OF the great
est importance that the way snail De
cleared for the speediest possible decision
by the interstate commerce COMMISSION.
The association then appeals to Con
sress, the railways, the shippers and tne
public to do all in their power to 1acii-
tate the work. To the national laWmak-
ers it is pointed out that attention snouia
he given to the commission. upon WHICH
enormous demand for increased output Is
to be made.
Nothing, it is declared, could be more
disastrous TO the railroads ana al inc
commerce and industry or the country
than to stake all that is proposed 10 De
staked upon the commission, only 10 ma
that with it's organization 1t cannot do
the work within reasonable time.

Time Is All Important.

The time to elapse before the commits
sion shall render its decision. it is pointed
out, is the vital factor. I'VE recognize
the high order of ability that has been
shown by the commission it Is recited
land believe with sufficient equipment Vt
will promptly and equitably dispose of
the question, and we urge that such APP
preparation as may be found necessary be
made to enable the commission to cope
with its increased duties"
The railways are called upon to faclil-
tate the work by having their schedules
so arranged and the reasons therefor SO
clearly set forth as to require the least
possible time to comprehend their scope
and bearings upon the question before
the commission, and that the officials OF
railways acquaint the shippers more fully
With the reasons for freight advances.
The shippers are asked to look upon
the railways precisely as they would look
yency the management, and not the gov
eminent, is responsible.

English \ Aviator Wins
EF5 SSH
bRO0K|NS AND
LAbLANC FALL;
LATHAM FAILS

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
BELMONT PARK. N. v, Oct
29.-Claude Grahame-W White, the
English aviator. was declared the
winner of the Coupe Internation-
ale, in the aviation meeting held
here. White was declared the
victor after Radley and Hamilton
had been disqualified for not get
ting started in the time limit fixed
by the rules.
Two aviators were injured. a
worlds record was broken and all
meet records exceeded in the
Coupe Internationale, the supreme
test of aviation. which was the
feature of the meet at Belmont
park today.
Walter BrOokins of the Ameri-
can team and Alfred Leblanc, the
Frenchman. are at the Belmont
hospital. badly injured as the re-
SHlt OF 1aIlS.
Leblanc tIImbled Just after he
had sped around the 3 1-1O mile
course three times in eight min
utes and IL seconds new
worlds record. Brookins was
hurt i'm "a warming up flight.
Immediately after Brokins met
with his accident, Leblanc ap-
peared in front of the grandstand
with his head bandaged and
smoking a cigaret as though
nothing had happened.
LeBlanc's accident resulted, it
was said, from the failure of a
mechanician to fill the gasoline
tank of his engine after Leblanc
had given him the order. When
he fell he had less than a half lap
to go.
His time for the first lap was
2:45; for the first three. SLY,
which later was officially an
nounced as worlds record.
Brookins said his engines stop
ped and he was attempting to
glide down when his machine
turned a somersault.
Brookins. Leblanc, Radley,
Latham and Hamilton were ac-
corded the most likely chance of
winning. The Bennett cup at
present is held by Glenn H. Cur
tiss, who won it at the first inter-
