hoped by the diplomats chiefly inter-
ested to bring about a concord of opin-
ion SO that all the nations OF the two
Americas may act in unison In aproach-
ing the belligerents OF Europe. IT Is
generally expected that after express
sions of opinion about the best method
of dealing with the present situation
have been brought out a commission
will be appointed to prepare sugges-
lions for solution of the difficulties
Irrespective of tomorrows discussion
the United States soon Will make for
NAL answer to the various notes con-
tanning suggestions for the creation
of neutral one. for amending The
Hague rules to permit beiligerent ships
to obtain only a sufficient amount OF
coal to reach the port Of a neighbour
ing country instead, of home ports and
other kindred proposals designed to
free American waters from European
Warships.

LEARNING ABOUT RAILROADS.

It was significant when President Wilson remarked few days ago that he keenly alive to the import ance of the present beleaguered condition of the rail roads in country When asked the source of his information on which his interest based. he re- piled that the subject a matter of common knowl edec.
 Evidences continue to multiply that the pressure which will be brought bear the interstate com norce commission to induce it to grant an increase in freight rates will be wholly by railroad interests
 One of the leading men in the lumber trade in the United States recently that nothing would stimulate that industry like an in railroad freight rates Other busi tss men having this fac, brought for cbh to ther attention by the halt which is evident in the commercial prosperity of the country large.
 Without doubt the new tariff is a retardms factor in many ,es Of trade and to it is doubtless due the dis charge of many of the workngmen who now idle but the best tarin which be conceived will not res enc to situation if the credit railro ls Is not re- established
 When it is considered that without industrial pros perity the working classes supply themselves with the prime necessities of life, food, clothing and shelter. 1t becomes apparent how vital is the question over which the interstate commerce commis sion is debating.
 An eminent urist said recently in Boston "Th' railroads have asked for and they are getting ad vice. They have asked for bread and they have not beer given even stone for ballast
 The interstate commerce commission has had thu question under consideration for months It has beer supplied with ample evidence showing the position o the railroads evidence which the commission should no need if its members qualified to hold their positions
 Individual members of the commission rush into th headlines on every possible occasion to call attention anything unfavorable which may be found or whic can be construed improper, in order to attempt to

prejudice the public against the railroads.
 It has been apparent for some time the inter. state commerce commission is strongly prejudced pable of taking judicial attitude the question of advanced freight rates.
 In its antagonism to railroads, the commission has been egged lot of much advertised lawyers who received millions of dollars in fees a few years ago for organizing amagamating and promoting large com bnations of capital and who are now schemng get as large larger fee for dssoving and segregating them forcing them into the hands of receivers. in which case they stand good show of being chosen attorneys for the receivers.
 These lawyers have worked the daily press for an amount of free advertising compared with which that given the railroads the old days before for bidden. s insignificant
 Through this free advertising a portion of the public wrong on any question and that a newspaper assumes no responsibility for the utterances of men which t prints voluntarily enlisted in the work of helping these lawyers to get their fees without realizing that they can only be paid out of the prosperity the pub lie a whole.
 When leading railroad man presents facts and fig justification the demands of railroads. the public says that he has to grind. but when lawyer who is unable unwilling to present facts makes unfounded assertions which reflect the rail roads he is called public benefactor and the public does stop ask who is retaining him.
