Archaic Lake Traffic Methods.

Chicago News: Speaking generally,
traffic handling methods on inland
waterways in the United States are
far behind those employed on the great
inland waterways Of Europe. The rail-
roads, which aim to keep up-to-date
their freight transportation by land,
do not manifest similar enterprises in
connection with the AXE vessels own
ed by them.
The package freight lines on the
Great Lakes operating between Buff
falo and western ports are owned by
railroads. Julius H. Barnes. chairman
of the traffic committee of the Du-
lutn Commercial club. and G. r. Hall,
traffic manager for the same organ
~ization, old the interstate commerce
commission the other day that the
freight handing methods of these boa
lines are archaic. They asserted that
no economics have been introduced in
recent years by the boat lines in ques~
ton, nor have attempts been made to
develop modern facilities for the load
ing and unloading Of freight.
Mr.. Barnes is a, stakeholder in indie
pendent boat lines operating on the
Great Lakes and he told the com
mission that these lines pay dividends
in excess Of 10 per e The boat
lines owned by railroads, having a
much heavier business, in MI. Barnes
opinion could earn large profits on
lower rates than now prevail for the
alexandria, service between western
lake ports and the Atlantic sea-
board.
The failure of BOAT owners, especial
ly railroads that own and operate lake
| vessels, to interest themselves in mod
ern freight handling methods should
not be accepted with complaisance by
the public authorities. AS a part of its
harbor development program, Chicago
| should give attention to the provid-
ing of ample freight handling facili-
ties in connection with the new piers

MI. Daniels said his pride and ad-

by John Lind, President Wilson's per-

Rear Admiral Fletcher was a wise

than that, he is a patriot, loyal to the

said:

than that Of discipline lie back OF

He said there was no body of more
temperate. clear-headsd men in the

He asked his hearers whether they

such a thing.
