MARKET CONGRESS.
3. r. YOAkUM DISCUSSES RElA-
TlONS OF GOVERNMENT, AGRl-
CULTURE AND RAILROADS.
CITES INTERESTING FIGURES
Says the Country Cannot Prosper as
II Should on the Annual Railroad
Construction Now Under
Way.

Chicago, April 10.-Railroad and col
lege men were the principal speakers
in the second days session of the
first National Conference on Market
ing and Farm Credits, which is be-
ing held here. President Harry Pratt
Judson of the University OF Chicago;
C. w. Thompson of Minneapolis, direc-
tor of the bureau of economic re-
search OF the University of Mime
sofa; and Chairman Hatton w. Sum-
mers Of Texas We're among the more
prominent men on the program.
A paper by b. F. Yoakum Of New
York city, chairman Of the board Of
directors of the Frisco lines, on Re
lations of the government, agriculture
and the railroads and their bearing
on better marketing" was read. Mr..
Yoakum said in part:
"Agriculture and transportation
have laid the foundation which has
made this the greatest and most pow
erful nation of the world. They are
the biggest factors in America S
growth.
Since 1905 our population has in
creased 16 per cent. The value OF
farm products was 81 per cent more
in 1912 than in 1915, while railroad
construction was 40 per cent less.
There are now not over / 900 miles
of new railroad under construction.
It would require the construction OF
165, 900 miles of additional railroad to
furnish the same transportation IA
cilties west of the Mississippi river
that there are east Of it, on the basis
of area
THAT great areas Of rich country
cannot grow as it should on 1000
miles per annum Of newly built rail
roads Our public men as a rule have
not realized yet what confronts us
in the way of agricultural develop
ment. The production of farm food
supply and the movement to the mar
ket and it's relations to the consumer
require the scientific and intelligent
consideration as do raw material tC
the manufacturer and it's relations tc
the consumer in readjusting our pres
ent tariff schedules"
Mr.. Yoakum said he believed in the
read mstment of the tariff, but de
clared that if congress should wipe
odt the entire tariff on every article
that is brought into this country from
every place in the world on last year:
collections it would only amount tC
326,00O,000, while the waste which
falls upon the farmers of the natior
means an annual loss of over five
times the entire amount collected By
our revenue collectors.

PRESIDENT HOPES FOR BEST
U. S. is POWERLESS TO HALT
ANTLALIEN LEGISLATION.
Wilson Says California Has Right to
Pass Such Laws as She
Pieases.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Presid ent
Wilson has expressed the hope that
the pending legislation in California
by which aliens ineligible to Ameri-
can citizenship would be prohibited
from owning land, would not prove OBJ
jectionable to Japan.
He realizes that Japan is inclined to
view such legislation as a contradic-
ton Of the spirit of her treaty with the
United States and while officially un-
able TO interfere in the situation he
expressed confidence that the CalifOrn-
Ia Legislature, cogniZant of possible in
ternational difficulties, would enact a
law that would prove acceptable to
Japan.
The president talked informally
about the question in his sem-weekly
conference with the newspa apermen, in
dicating the delicate points involved
While the present treaty with Japan
stipulates that citizens of each coun-
try, while travelling in the other, shall
have right to own houses and fac
tories and shops and to lease land, it
says nothing about the right to own
land On the other hand, though, the
old laws of Japan against foreign own
ership of land have been abrogated,
the imperial edict necessary to put in
force newly enacted laws has not been
issued, so that American citizens still
cannot own land in Japan.
The president declared that while
nobody could for a moment, challenge
the constitutional right of California
to pass such land laws as she pleased,
in so far as the federal government
had gone beyond its powers or domes-
tic authority in making a treaty, just
SO far was it liable to damages. but
that it was really helpless in the stu
alton

LEVEES WEAKEN EACH DAY
Arkansas Negroes Desert Work and
Lumber Workers Are Now
Threatened.

Memphis, April 11.-After day Of
torrential rains and a strong wind
one levee gave way before the food
waters of the Mississippi and at a
half a dozen other points a desperate
ight is being waged to hold the tur-
bulent waters within bounds, with
odds favoring the water. Admittedly
the levees are weakening.
The levee near Wilson, Ark, has
gone out due to the desertion of
about $50 negro laborers. With a
roar that could be heard for mile
Or more, about 100 feet of the earthen
revetment collapsed.
Wilson, a settlement of about $50
lumber workers and their families is
the most important town that will be
swept by the first rush of the water.

Shipping Already Affected.

Antwerp, April 12.-There is a great
diversity of opinoin as to the extent
here Of the general strike. The Social
lists assert that there will be a spspen-
sion OF all work, while business men
are OF the opinion that the strike will
not last long. The menace of the
strike has already caused heavy losses
to ship owners ana shipping agents by

Buffalo, n. Y. April 11.-Negotia-
tons for a settlement Of the strike Of
the motormen and conductors of the
international Railway company thru
the mediation of Mayor Loui p. Fuhr-
mann, came to a deadlock. The split
between the strikers and the railway
officials was upon the question of
dealing with committee of the union
in adjustment of wages and the work
ing hours, for which the men struck.
Both sides agreed upon all other
points, including the acceptance of
the mayor as arbitrator upon any
question that could not otherwise be
adjusted.

100000 Loss DAILY
IMPENDING STRIKE CAUSING UN.
EASlNESS ALL OVER
COUNTRY.
VE2ITABLE ECONOMIC BLOW
Miners, Guarrymen and Metal and
Textile Workers and Glass
Workers All Will Join
in Walkout.

Brussels, April 14.-Belgium stands
to lose $500, 900 every day the general
strike lasts, if, as the Socialists de-
clare and hope, 80 per cent of the in
dustrial laborers quit work next Mon
day. This is the estimate made by
economists.
Realization Permeating.
The full realization OF the tremen.
dous economic blow impending is be-
ginning to permeate all sections of the
population and a feeling of great un
easiness reignS The government and
local authorities are fast completing
final preparations to meet emergen-
cies.
According to latest reports from la
Dor centers, the wal!iout will be COM
pete among miners, metal workers,
quarrymen and textile workers.
The decision Of the glass workers to
join the strike has produced something
like CONSERVATION. Every furnace that
is permitted to die down must be de
stroyed with dynamite and rebuilt.
This would involve total cost OF
$1S0000. There are 27 furnaces in
Belgium, whose export OF window glass
amounts to $1,000,O00 a month. AS
to the blast furnaces, majority Of
which will be allowed to cool off, their
extinction will mean a clear loss OF
$4,000 daily
Dock Hands Causing Uneasiness.
The Antwerp dock workers are caus-
ing the strike organizers some uneasi-
ness. They appear to be hanging in
the balance as to whether they will
stop work. and desperate efforts are
being made to obtain their adhesion
to the strike movement. A strike by
these men would be most important as
1t would bottle up the entire export
and import trade. Many workmen are
Withdrawing their money from savings
banks.
Sailing Dates Cancelled.
Antwerp-The situation here is be-
coming more and more complex. Last
Wednesday the Red Star Line sent off
an additional steamer in order to clear
away merchandise waiting on the
docks. Now another line announces
that in view of the possible inability
to load its vessels it will cancel the
sailing dates of six steamers.
1t is reported the Hamburg-Ameri-
can, North German Lloyd and other
steamship lines have ordered their YES

stead, to Rotterdam and Hamburg

Not to Work Overtime.
Essen, Germany.-The local Social
list Democrat committee has sent re-
quest to the Rhenish miners not to
work overtime for the purpose of ex-
porting coal to Belgium.

of the coal miners in the Silesian dis

Telephone Strike Averted.

Boston, April IA strike of the
telephone operators Of Greater Boston
was averted by compromise reached
between representatives of the CON-

creasing wages as was demanded, the
company is to adopt plan of "anni-
versary payments" of from S25 to 500
a year, in the nature of bonus for
faithful service.
