MUST SHOW GOOD DIRECTION
Manufacturers File Brief in
Freight Rate Advance Case.

Washington, Jan. SIT is evident that
there is no presumption one way or the
other that the carriers efficiently and eco
nomlcally operate, and as the burden rests
upon them under the Interstate Commerce
act to prove their case, to prove IL they
must show efficient management"
This is one of the important propositions
laid down in the brief filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission by William
Duff Haynie and II. c. Lust. on behalf Of
the Illinois Manufacturers Association in
the pending investigation by the commits
sion of the proposed advances in freight
rates by the railroads.
While the brief deals generally with the
rate situation throughout the country, it
makes the more particular reference 10 the
proposed advances by the roads in Western
trunk line territory. These are not ad-
vances on class rates, but Oh commodity
rates, approximately sixty commodities be-
ing selected TO bear the proposed increases.
1t Is urged in the brief that a part Of the
burden OF proof is 20 show that the rates
as TO particular commodities affected are
reasonable. This ii is submitted, has not
been done.
The commission is urged TO bear IN MIND
that the proposed advances under consld-
GRAFTON are only wedge for the introduc-
tion Of general advance, provided the
carriers can establish the principle that
they need more money and are justified In
getting it from the public through increased

CUT OFF JUDGES-MITCHELL
Labor Leaders s Plan for Getting
More Damages for Workers.

IF we were 10 do away with one-third
OF the judges and pay the money saved 10
injured Workmen, instead Of retaining the
present system OF legal proceedings 10 col
lect damages for injuries received In the
various industries OF the United States, We
would come near TO arriving at some equit-
able means Of compensation said John
Mitchell, the labor leader. addressing two
thousand persons at the Peoples Forum In
New Rochelle yesterday afternoon. Ills
subject was Accidents to WOrkmen and
Compensation FOR Losses Caused by Them.
Mr.. Mitchell said that in this country
more than hundred workmen were killed
every day: the number OF killed and manned
was $4,000 annually, and the annual num-
Der Of accidents OF all kinds TO workmen
was two million.
1T is a strange commentary on our boast
ed civilization that nearly three times as
many workmen are killed in the United
States in year az are killed in any
country in Europe. and most of these casu-
altles are preventabIe. 1T is cheaper to
kill and main workmen in America man
10 protect them" he said
IF people could understand this Mr.
Mitchell continued. they would arise and
insist that, without regard TO the cost
every means possible should be taken 10
protect the lives and health of workmen
II II cost more 10 kill them than TO protect
them they would not be killed. The num-
her Of accidents in America is due 10 in
adeouate laws and regulations"
Mr., Mitchell said that, except In the State
NJ New York, the country was still using
the old common law in reaching compensa-
,Ion for accidents. Under the present laws
workman was practically helpless, he said,
o,d IN only eleven cases out of one hun
dred had he been known 10 succeed in col
lecting damages
W. Bourke Cochran presided. He said
that II the justice of labor controversies
coud be made clear on both sides they
,,ouId never arise.

less prevent those changes in the marine
corps which Mr.. Meyer has recommended,
and which have commended themselves TO
all familiar with the necessities Of that
arm Of the service. Perhaps the most i'm
portant of these reforms is the change
urged by Nj. Meyer in the tenure Of Of

this office he filled by the appointment of

fce 20 carry with II the rank and pay or
major general during occupancy. The re-
tirement Of Major General Elliott made
this peculiarly oppoTtune time for such
a change. Under existing law the COM
maudant. once appointed. holds office until
removed bv retirement or death. Another
change urged by Mr.. Meyer was the merg-
ing OF the Inspector and adjutants corps
with the line, so as = dispense with the
personnel Of those corps officers to be de-
tailed 10 their duties for stated periods.
such hostility 10 these recommendations
