ILLINOIS STEEL COMPANY IN
NOVEL CRUSADE AGAINST
JOHN BARLEYCORN

Chicago Oct 29-Bright electric
signs, with pointed queries such as
Did Booze Ever Do You Any Good ?''
are now illuminating the entrances OF
the various plants of the Illinois
Steel Company. The novelty was in
voked as a means OF driving the de-
sire of John Barleyeorn from the
minds OF 10000 men employed in the
works.
At the three gates of the south
plant OF the company in South Chica-
go the signs, shining a bright red, are
attracting considerable attention. The
wording of the displays will be chang
ed fortnightlN Another question that
the plant officials will fire at their
employees through the medium is:
Did Booze Ever Help You Get
Better Job?" and driving closer to
home is this one:

The innovation was adopted with
the approval OF President +. j. Buf

New Meadows. Ida. May 4, 1914.
Rev. H. H. Abrams. Indian Valley.
Idaho.
Dear sir: On March 2sth wrote
you as per enclosed copy of letter. but
have not as yet received any reply. The
company has In the past granted you
a special half-fare permit on account
of your connection with the clergy.
which concession has been a voluntary
act OF courtesy and consideration upon
our part In order to facilitate your
work in your clerical capacity. From
the best evidence we are able to Sc
cure 1t appears that you have abused
this privilege. The company does not
take the view that Clergyman re-
ceiving courtesies at the hands of the
company. which the law permits us to
extend, shall in any way forfeit his
rights as man or citizen on ac-
count thereof; nor does 1t consider
that 1t has any right to dictate to the
beneficiary of such q courtesy or
privilege in matters of Judgment po-
litical belief or conscience, but 1t does
assume that the person to whom such
a courtesy has been extended is obli-
gated at least to show to this COM
pany and its officers the decent and
conventional courtesy and the fair and
tolerant consideration which he has
himself received.
AS you have made no effort to ex-
plain the situation in reply to my let
ter Of March 2sth. this letter is to in
form you that your clerical half-rate
permit No. 81 is hereby cancelled and
annulled ana will not be recognized in
future by our agents or other en-
ployes. Will you kindly return it at
once to my office for cancellation?
Yours truly,
"(Signed) f. M. HEIGHO."

"Mr. H. H. Abrams, Indian Valley,
Idaho.
Dear Sir: I note by the news
papers that you appear to have taken
an attitude of open and unfair hostil
ity toward this company, which, so
far as I am able to determine. is en-
tirely unjustified, and that you have
made representations or rather mis-
representations Gf you have been cor
rectly quoted) in regard to our freight
rates and in regard to the company's
attitude and my personal attitude as
concerns our relations with our pat
rons. Inasmuch as the ordinary rules
of business courtesy and good taste
would appear to require that matters
of that sort should first be taken up
with the proper officers of this COM
pany and an opportunity for explana-
ton afforded them or an opportunity
for adjustment be given. provided that
the grievance be real, in advance of
any public attitude such as you have
assumed and by reason OF the fact that
you have been for some time past and
are at this time the beneficiary of a
courtesy extended to you as a min
lister of the gospel to further your
work as such. I am quite unable to
understand your method of procedure
Most assuredly under these conditions
this company and myself should at
least be accorded accurate statements,
II made publicly, in regard to our
freight rates and inasmuch as not one
o. the statements which the newspa-
pers quote yourself as making are
founded upon facts, that is, are not in
accord with the actual facts, am still
further at a loss to understand what
prompts your attituce 1t does not
seem right to me ti'at you should util-
lie a reduced rate which was cheer
fully accorded to YOU as a minister of
religion in travelling for the purpose
of disappearing or distorting the
facts and of making public unfounded
allegations in regard to our freight
rates and to our embarrassment
Freight rates are a question of law
and of fact and not of opinion, and,
therefore. the question Of whether Or
not certain rate exists or does not
exist or the character and application
and extent of that rate are matters of
record and not of opinion, and as such
are not subject to argument. 1t may
perhaps be true that the papers have
not correctly quoted you in the prem
ises and in that case / shall be very
glad indeed to hear your side of the
story. Failing in this I may state

HfICHO STATES
HIS POSITION IN
THE ABRAMS CASE
Reasons for the Withdrawal
Of Half Fare Permit Of
Minister Explained in
Letters.

Colonel z. NJ. Heigho, president Of
the Pacific & Idaho Northern, believes
that the charges made in the COM
plant filed by Rev. III. H. Abrams
with the public utilities commission do
an injustice to him and to the rail-
road, because the facts, he says, are
not accurately stated.
1t will be remembered that Rev.
Abrams charges that his clergyman 8
half-fare railroad permit was cancelled
because he took part with the Farm
ers' union OF Adams county in an eff
fort to secure fair and Just freight
rate In complaint filed before the
public utilities commission.
BY comparing the tone OF my two
communications, of which / enclose
copies" writes Colonel Heigho. with
the representations now made by Mr..
Abrams through Mr.. Lucas, l think IL
becomes obvious that his later repre-
sensations are equally incorrect" The
reference here is 10 the alleged incor-
rect assertions made by Mr.. Abrams
In relation to freight rates.
The company considers" continues
Colonel Heigho, that 1t is entirely
within its rights in giving or refusing
free or reduced rate transportation to
certain privileged classes within the
Jaw which privileged classes include
notual members Of the clergy"

Abrams. copies of which were sent for
