DIPLOMACY IN THE HOTEL

cb;caeo--AlI doubts that winter OF

down upon the country were dispel'e :,
wednesday when dispatches from 81

inc badly, driven by high WINDS.
In Chicago new mark OF four de-
oress above was reached, which means
Intensely cold weather because OF the
PROXIMITY Of Lake Michigan, and the
moisture, which penetrates the very
marrow Of ones bones.
Visitors from the extreme Nortn-
west. British Columbia and the upper
Michigan peninsula, where 20 to oo pc
low zero is not uncommon, suffer IN
tenselv from the damp cold in Chicago.
All the city, county and private
charitable institutions are crowded TO
the limit. The garment workers
strike has thrown 45, 900 destitute per-
sons upon the bounty OF the city and
county, and this additional load, with
the already large number of helpless
inhabitants, is taxing the resources OF
charitable bodies.
These thousands Of dependent per-
sons are too poorly clothed and nourish-
ed to take advantage of any other
work that is offered them, SO they con-
stitute constant drag upon the charit-
able institutions, and will continue 80
all winter. Work in comfortable fac
tories at top wages is open to all the
striking garment workers, but they
prefer to remain dependent upon char
ity rather than surrender their "prin-
ciples." The majority Of them are
not citizens of the country and have a
very remote idea of what the row is all
about, taking the word of inhamma-
tory orators for it.
A feature Of the present siege of
cold weather is its penetration of the
more or less Sunny South. Dispatches
rom San Antonio, Tex, say all re-
lords have been broken there, and all
over Southern Texas, where early
,rops of garden truck have been de-
,troyed. Similar conditions are re-
ported in New ORLEANS and vicinity.

MAKE CANAL COMPETITOR.
Senate Bill Would Let American
Coastwise Vessels In Free.

Washington. Pacific Coast ship
pers who have been fighting for
water transportation as an offset to
the exorbitant transcontinental rail
road rates, will be benefited by the
adoption OF the Mann bill, with
Senator Flint's amendment, which
the senate committee on inter
oceanic canals has voted to report
favorably.
1t is bill for the governing of the
Panama canal zone. Flint's amend
ment makes the canal free of tolls
for American vessels for coastwise
trade; imposes tolls on railroad
owned steamships; enables the gov
eminent at any time to take over
vessels which accept the use of the
canal without tolls, the question OF
cost to be settled later, and enables
the president to fix the tolls at not
less than so cents nor more thar
$1.50 per net ton.
Under the provisions for taking
over vessels, the government can al
any time obtain all the golfers ant
auxiliaries it needs in war.
The amendment will make the ca
nal real competitor of the trans
continental roads. There have beer
well defined fears that unless condi
tons changed the Panama cana
would not give shippers the relic
that was hoped for when it was pro-
ected. Such eminent authorities a

MANAGEMENT BERATED.


| Higher Standards Of Efficiency Need
ed on Railroads.
!, Washington --- Higher standards OF
efficiency, not increased freight rates,
are the paramount needs today OF
American railroads. This proposition
is the essence Of the brief filed with
the Interstate Commerce commission
by Louis Brandeis, of Boston, counsel
for the traffic commission Of CONNER
cial organizations of the Atlantic sea-
board in the investigation of the com
mission in the proposed advance in
freight rates in the official classified
tion territory that part of the coun-
try east of the Mississippi and north
Of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
Railroad managers, Mr.. Brandeis
contends, in an effort to meet existing
needs should not look without, but
within.
.'If their net income Is insufficient"
he says, "the proper remedy is not
higher rates, resulting in higher cost !
and lessened business, but scientific
resulting in lower costs,
higher wages and increased business.
"If their credit is impaired, the
proper remedy is not to apply the de-
usive stimulant of higher rates but to
strengthen their organizations by in
advanced methods and elm
nting questionable practices. Thus
hey will maintain credit by deserving
t."
The proposed advances by the lines
IN official classification territory would
affect only the class. The total
freight tonnage of the lines for the
year 1909 was 626, 1921, 975.
Less than s per cent of this moved UNI
der class rates, yet of the freight rev.
enue of these railways for 1909 nearly
20 per cent ($103, 271, 823) was derived
from class rates.
