CHICAGO, Dec. 3-There was no
outward sign OF lack of enthusiasm
for the Progressive party manifested
Wednesday by leaders from thirty
two states who met in conference
with the members OF the executive
committee of the organization. Re-
ports that disarmament OF the party
was possibility were characterized
as idle fancy and there was likelihood
of amalgamation of the Progressive
with either the Republican or Demo
cratic parties was equally ridiculed.
George w. Perkins, of New York,
chairman of the executive committee,
presided at the committee which first
listened to state chairmen, who told
of political conditions.

VIEWS GIVEN
BY Bryan to Schwab to Guard

WASHINGTON, Dec. s-secre-
tary Bryan Wednesday invited c. NJ
Schwab, president of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, to the state depart
ment and gave him the views Of the
American government on the build
ing Of submarines in this country for
European belligerents. 1t was be-
lleved that the state department de;
sires to consult with the steel COM
pany officials so there would be no
violation of neutrality If contracts
were taken. While the export of
munitions of war, such as guns, shells
and ammunition, is not prohibited by
the neutrality laws, the fitting out, of
warships or any armed expedition
from American soil would be consid-
cred a violation.

DENIAL ORDER
In Glass Rate Reparation Mat
ter Discussed by Rail-
road Official.
ts,re,Al 70 -. rr..an..,

BALTIMORE, Md. Dec. 3-The
denial by tine Interstate Commerce
Commission Of the claims for repara-
tion by West Virginia glass manu-
facturers against the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad as announced in Wash
ington Wednesday said by an official
Of the road to involve the rates on
glassware eastbound and westbound
from Clarksburg and vicinity as com
pared with those applying from the
Pittsburg territory. 1t is held by the
railroad that the denial OF the claims
for reparation is in support OF the
carriers side OF the case as in the
petition it was stated that rates be
reduced and reparation granted COW
ering period OF two years.
1t was explained by the railroad
official that the freight rates via the
Baltimore and Ohio from the Clarks-
burg and Pittsburg territories are the
same on eastbound and southbound
traffic as regards glassware and other
traffic. Westbound, however, the rate
from Clarksburg is two centG in adj
vance of that from Pittsburg based
on the longer haul. The rate on glass
from Pittsburg to Chicago for in
stance in 1873 cents and from Clarks-
burg to Chicago is 20.9 cents.
In order to develop the glass in
dustry in the Clarksburg and other
West Virginia regions It was said by
the Baltimore and Ohio official that
the rates from Pittsburg and Clarks-
burg to points in Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern territory and south
thereof were made Identical.
1t was peititoned by the Clarks-
burg manufacturers however that
the rates north of Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern territory. and to
Chicago, Indianapolis and Minnesota.
be reduced, but 1t was contended by
the railroad that to do so would be
to disturb the rate structure and
the basis of participation by connec-
ton. While the text of the decision
has not been received by the rail-
road officials it is likely that the
westbound rate on glassware from
Clarksburg will be reduced, but this
will be applied uniformity with ns-
spect to the share Of connecting car
riers in through rates.

ST." In this way Margaret Bemis,
who says she gets $25 week as head
waitress at Henrici's, dismissed the
claims of her less fortunate sisters
for higher wages. u
The above assertion came out
while Miss Bemis was witness for
Henrici in the injunction proceedings
before Judges McGoorty, Baldwin
and Windes. - ~.
Miss Benlis gave valuable evidence
for her boss today. She .sketched in
rainbow colors what a near-paradise
Henrici's is for the girl mattresses. 4
Everybody at Henrici's is perfect
ly satisfied" she said. She further
said that though some of the wait
resses only got SIS a week from Hen
rici's, the dear public kicked in with
enough tips to raise the wages up to
$40 a week. .....
There are IA of the SIS girls. They
work six hours a day. The 81 girls
work from a. m. to p. m. one day
and from 1920 a. m. to 8:15 p m. the
next day. They get much more tips
than the other girls, according to
Miss Bemis.
She testified that at Manager Col

they were perfectly satisfied from So |

over to Attorney Willard McEwen.
She denied that the girls were threat

sign these aff1dayits.
She said that while four girls were |
discharged in the last six weeks it |
was not because they belonged to the |

OIL BOOM FADES
WEST OF MACOMB
Wells Recently Drilled Produc-

Are Small.

Macomb, ILL.,, Sept 19.-The failure
Clintock wells in the new fields being
busters" and the Roberts well pump
Ing water instead of oil, have had q
most damaging effect upon the "oil
boom" of the past two months here
Pessimism and optimism go fifty
fifty" now. Some claim the pool which
fed the wells was fizzle; and others
smilingly believe that the real pool
has never been struck; that merely
the edge of it was tapped. However,
leases are suffering in value from the
decrease in output.
AS the situation now stands, the
Payne wells are probably the best in
the entire district, one of them produc-
ing 40 barrels daily together with those
on the McFadden farm. The Hoing and
Jarvis wells are but producing in the
of two barrels per day.
The Robinson wells are among the
best.
There is not much for publication re-
garding the profits or ''hauls" made out
of the boom Of the past two months,
but it is realized that in some in
stances the financial clearances have
been overestimated.
The cost OF transportation of the
oil is breaking into the profits, as it is
reported that the cost per barrel runs
between 26 and 80 cents. Hence with
oil selling at 20 cents and with the far
mer only receiving an eighth or sixth
of the total output, it is figured that
the farmers profit is small on wells of
small production.
