London.-More than seventy war
ships are hunting the eight or nine
German cruisers at large in the At
lantic, Pacific and Indian oceans,
seeking to destroy them, according to
a statement issued by the admiralty,
outlining the steps that are being
taken to protect commerce. The
hunted cruisers include the Emden,
which has sunk or captured 20 Brit
ish vessels to date in the Indian
Ocean, and the Karlsruhe, which has
taken IL British ships in the Atlantic.
"Our commanders 50 far have been
occupied in very serious and import
ant convoy duty, but this work has
somewhat lessened and the number
of searching cruisers is being contin-
ually augmented. Meanwhile, mer-
chant ships must observe the admir-
atty instructions, which II is obvi-
ously impossible to specify, and Use
all precautions which have been sug-
gested, On routes where these in

which has so far enabled the German
cruisers to avoid capture will protect
trade"

JEFFERSON City.
The increase in the cost of living
between 1908 and 1914, a period OF
six years., has brought about an in
crease in salaries for managers and
superintendents, foremen, statesmen,
solicitors and buyers, ~bookkeepers,
clerks, stenographers and others com
prising the management and clerical
forces of Missouri's 1929 factories
and workshops which in the last fiscal
year turned out manufactured prod
ucts worth $654,613 1888, according to
advance information for the 1914 Red
Book of the bureau of labor statistics
announced by Commissioner John t.
Fitzpatrick.
The management and clerical force
of the industries included in the COM
pilation gave employment during the
year under consideration to 29,952
men and youths and 1885 women and
girls. Included are 1878 male and
$40 female owners of unincorporated
establishments, each of whom, beside
managing the business, did actual
manual or office work, thereby taking
the place of a worker.
With the state taken as a whole,
1888 stenographers employed in H.
029 factories and workshops which
reported, drew an average of $43 a
month each. In 1908, 1896 stem
ographers averaged SAL, indicating a
gain, since then, in number of stem
ographers employed by Missouri facto-
ries and workshops, and ar increase
in wages of nearly 5 per cent. For
st. Louis, 1912, female stenographers
averaged ISL a month; Kansas City,
$46; st. Joseph, $40; and in thirty
one cities and towns of Missouri, $43.
The average for the state, including
rural factories and workshops, was
$43. The salary about corresponds
with what is paid the average women
school teachers throughout Missouri
That many women clerks earn as
much as their sisters who are stenog
raphers is shown by the fact that 58i
b~ookkeepers employed by the facto
ries and workshops in the t~hirty-one
leading cities and towns averaged
only $4S a month. In 1908 female
b~ookkeepers in the same communities
averaged 500 a month.
Many women bookkeepers, clerks
stenographers and those employed il
other capacities with salaries undel
$50 a month have widowed mothers
often aged fathers, younger sisters
brothers, and others dependent upol
them for support.

Amendments in Danger.

If reports from various sections OF
Missouri are to be credited, there is
rough" shedding ahead for all the
proposed constitutional amendments,
not only those submitted by the gem
eral assembly, but those proposed
through the initiative, and likewise
for all the propositions to be voted
upon by the people through the refer
endum.
There are several most meritorious
measures in the list of Is carried by
the amendment ballot, but a safe bet
at this time appears to be that not
one will carry. Even such an amend
ment as that carrying provision for a
pension for the blind, appealing di-
rectly to the sympathies of every hui
man being, is said to be in serious
danger on the theory that got Old
Dog Tray into trouble.
There is such a multiplicity of prop
ositi0ns on the amendment ballot and
SO many conflicting interests are in
volved that not even the most astute
political prophet can figure out ex-
actly what is going to happen.
Basing calculations on what has
happened to constitutional amend
ments in years gone by, the history
Of their adoption or rejection indi-
Gates that when several Objectionable
ones are offered they, as a rule, car
ry all the others to defeat.

Railroads Face Bankruptcy.

A picture of railroad poverty, of
failing revenues, depleted treasures,
inability to borrow money or hither-
to good securities, of impending re-
ceiverships and probable dismember-
ment Of transportation property, was
painted by B. f. Bush, president of
the Missouri Pacific, in a stirring plea
to Gov. Major for higher rates and
more liberal treatment for the roads
in Missouri
AS a dramatic climax to an address
in which he reviewed the financial
conditions of the roads and the regu-
latory laws which, he declared, are
further %burdening them, he said: eff
the government wants to take over
the roads and operate them it is per-
fectly satisfactory to us" The gov
ernor listened quietly, but made no
promises.
The governor can do nothing more
than recommend to the legislature
that the roads be permitted to charge
higher passenger and freight rates,
or to veto railroad legislation which
might be passed.
Two departments of government
are vested with control of the rail
road situation-the legislature and
the public service commission.
The latter, the supreme court OF
Missouri has held, has full power to
permit the railroads to increase thelr
rates if it finds that they are losing
money on the present statutory maxi
mum rates.
The railroads of Missouri now have
pending before the public service
commission an application to increase
passenger rates from 2 to 8 cents {
mile, freight rates on many commodi
ties back to the old rates fixed by the
railroad and warehouse commission
before it went out of existence, ant
excess baggage rates from 1914 tt
16 2-3 per cent of full fare.
The commission will hear the road
