The following verses from L. Case Rus
sell, in the Toronto Globe. are quite tc
the point:
You may guide their early years,
You may guide thir early years,
You may sit up nights and nurse them,
You may calm their childish fears;
You may teach, amuse and spank them,
To their good your life devote,
But remember you're A woman,
So you mustn't ask to vote.
Why not try to be contented
When no hardship We forbid?
Realize your limitation
It the best, you're but a rib.
Tho the Constitution class you
In with fools and rosues OF note,
From the pedestal we give you
Pray DO not step GOWN to vote.

Cleveland, O.-John P. White, pres

are considering possible solution Of
the threatened strike of the bitumin-

They purpose placing before the

pay and that they ask for five per
cent instead of ten
This compromise has not been de-
cided upon definitely, but It was con-
sidered one loophole by which there
would be no strike on April or sus
pension of operations until new wage
agreements can be effected.
The union officials are In doubt
whether such compromise would be
approved at referendum vote.
Members of the executive board and
policy committee of the United Mine
Workers of America are preparing to
draw up recoDimendations for a ref,
eerndum vote by the union.
The union officials say an agreeable
adjustment Of the bituminous dispute
would haye much influence in secur-

One of of the worst ballot mixups in
years marked the first trial of the new
primary law, and this is given as the
ground for proposed contest by the
Roosevelt forces. A demand is re-
ported to have been made upon Cover

Long delays were caused at manv

RAIL TARIFFS ARE HIT
COMMERCE COMMISSION RULES
STATE RATES MUST APPLY
ACROSS BORDER.
MINORITY OPPOSES PLAN
Far Reaching Principle is Established
in Case of Louisiana Body Against
Roads Operating in That State and
Texas.

Washington.--In an opinion made
public here the interstate commerce
commission established the far-reach-
ing principle that railroad must so
adjust its rates that justice will be
done between communities regardless
of state lines.
If railroad makes a low rate upon
traffic wholly within a state. even
when forced to do SO by state com
mission, it must accord the same rate
to interstate traffic moving under sub
stantially similar conditions. The prin-
ciple was laid down by a vote of
to 3.
The minority held that the powers
of congress were usurped by the ma
1ority opinion and that the remedy for
such a situation should be applied
through additional legislation in the
case of the railroad commission of
Louisiana against the st. Louis
Southwestern railway and other car
.riers operating between Louisiana and
Texas.
The opinion of the majority of the
interstate commission, prepared ans
handed down by Commissioner Lane,
is definite assertion of the SUI
premacy of national regulatory author
ity over the powers exercised by any
state
1t is the first time this assertion has
been MAZE distinctly by the commits
sion. IN making it Chairman Prouty
and Commissioners Clark and Meyer
concurred with Commissioner Lane,
and Commissioners Clements, Harlan
and McChord dissented.
The proceeding brought by the
Louisiana commission placed in issue
the right of interstate carriers to dis
criminate in favor of state traffic and
against interstate traffic.
The low rate within the state of
Texas was forced upon the railroads
by the Texas railroad commission in
furtherance of a policy-to protect and
promote the jobbing interests of Tex
as.
The Louisiana commission and that
states commercial interests declared
that Louisiana was being discrimi-
mated against because of the exaction
of the higher rates from Shreveport
westward and demanded an adjust
ment of the rates.
The contention of Louisiana was
sustained by the commission absolute
ly.

REJECT DEMAND FOR AN AD-

MONEY BURDEN TOO HEAVY
Employers say Charges Would Block
improvements Which Are Required
by Lsw-DecIares All Would Ask
Increase.

New York. Fifty railroads com
prising practically az the lines
east of Chicago and north Of the
Norfolk & Western, refused to grant
an Increase in wakes demanded by
their locomotive engineers.
The conference committee OF rail-
road managers which has had under
consideration the request OF the engi-
neers made its reply, which in sub
stance is that the railroads are uil-
able to bear the increased expense. in
volved, 'and find it evidently impos-
sible to grant the request"
The engineers demand. presented
on January %, was for an increase
amounting to about IS per cent. a
year. The railroads refusal is based
on the assertion that they are finan-
cially unable to bear the increased ex-
pense.
The reply was presented at a joint
meeting of committees representing
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and IL presidents and general
managers of the railroads.
The railroads point out that the pro-
posed increase will amount to 1883 :
1872 annually. This increase. they say,
would be equivalent to placing on their
property lien of $1SS.S44,S1S of 4 per
cent. securities, which would have
preference over first mortgage bonds,
and TO just that extent would lessen
the ability of the roads to make the Inn
provements necessary TO increase the
efficiency of their service and to in
sure greater safety to the public and
employees"
Already the traffic of a growing
country has overtaxed the existing ia
cilities," the reply Continues, land the
heavy burdens incurred through legis-
lation, large expenditures for inn
proyements which produce no revenue.
and the previous wage increases have
made it impossible for many of the
roads to provide the added facilities
which prudent foresight demands.
Past history indicates that if these
increases are given to the engineers,
they will be followed by similar re-
quests from other employees, which, If
granted, would result in actual bank
ruptcy to some of the roads and would
leave them as whole unprepared to
meet any sudden increase in the de-
mands for transportation
TIE railroads point out that the
wage advance to the engineers and
other employees since 1910 was made
in expectation of "a much needed" adj
vance in freight rates, which the In
terstate commerce commission de-
clined to allow. Since that time, they
say, enforced reductions of rates have
been more or less continuous, and 9TH
er rate reductions are pending.
The railroads declare that the fix
ing of standard wage for the conduc-
tors and trainmen was the result of
crisis developed in connection with
their demands and should not be taken
as a precedent.
