EMBARGO ON FREIGHT

Action by All Carriers.

NEW YORK, Novmber 2e-Although
it is reported that 1900 carloads of
freight are held up in and around the
port of New York awaiting transship-
ment by sea. some officials say it will
not be necessary for other lines to fol-
low the example OF the Lackawanna

the receipt Of freight for shipment
through this port, AS showing that an
enormous amount of freight Is pouring
through New York, it was stated to-
day that 54S vessels were loaded here
within a month, the greatest number
in the history of the port.
Whatever action may be taken in re-
gard to an embargo upon ordinary
freight, President +. b. Underwood of
the Erie railroad believes there will be

WANT TO Be HEARD

Permission to Be Sought for
Suffrage ENJOYS From the
West to Speak.
REQUEST WILL FOLLOW
RECEPTION AT CAPITOL
Formal Opening of the Little
White House on Lafayette Square
Takes Place Tomorrow Evening.

Permission for the two envoys from
the San Francisco woman voters con-
vention to speak from the floor of the
House of Representatives upon their
arrival here for the convention of the
Congressional Union for Woman Suf-
frage is to be asked of the incoming
Congress.
Heading the effort to gain a hearing
before at least one house of Congress
are Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the
executive committee of the Congress
sional Union. and Miss Anne Martin
of Nevada, chairman of the committee
on arrangements for the coming con-
vention. herself voter.
The women who will do the talking,
if the permission is granted, are Miss
Frances Jolliffe of California and Mrs.
Sarah Bard Field of oregon. Complete
plans for the exact methods of ask
ing for the hearing are not yet com
pleted. But the expectation is that
next Monday, when the envoys reach
Washington and are greeted at the
Capitol by members of the Senate and
the House, reception which already
has been arranged-they will make
formal request of Senator Sutherland
and Representative Mondell, who will
head the welcoming party, TO be intro
duced to Congress. and be permitted to
speak before the House.
Method Usually Adopted.
The method by which previous speak
ers who were not members of Congress
were heard was either through a spe-
cial resolution introduced by some
member. or by resolution introduced
by some committee chairman following
the receipt of petition. It is possible
for woman or women to be heard on
the floor before 10 am, it is pointed
out, through suspension of the rules
and the appearance of the House in a
constructive recess. The rules com
mittee of the House has, as a general
thing. been against such permission
being granted. although there are a
number of occasions on record when
persons of both sexes have been able
to speak. Elizabeth Cady Stanton re-
quested to be heard on the suffrage
question, but permission was refused.
During their Investigations OF prece
dents the suffrage workers found that
a number of times persons had spoken
before the House of Representatives
while that body was not in session. In
recent years the rules have been such
that they preclude appearances of out
siders except upon certain specified oc-
casions.

German Chemicals Cut Off.

THE slight increase in chemical ex-
ports is accounted for by the fact that
the German. supply was cut on. The
increase in explosives is due to the
fact that the demand for cartridges in
August and September increased the
total export of explosives by about
$1.50O,00U. OF course the war put the
fishing industry and the trawlers in
the North sea and vicinity out of com
mission, and this country helped to
make UP the loss. The increase in
manufa ctured tobacco is due to large
orders for cigarettes placed in this
country to supply the foreign commits
sariats. Orders for blankets swelled
the eotal of wool manufactures export
ed, and the scarcity Of zinc abroad
created an immediate demand for that
article.
"One of the first actions of Great
Britain when war was declared was to
try to corner the market for refined
sugar. So heavily did she buy in our
market that the price of sugar jump
ed to 7.35 cents pound in the domes-
tic market In August and 7.105 cents
in September. This accounts for the
export increase during the first two
months of the war.

Declaring that the conservationists of
the country will support President Will
son to the limit of their ability in put
ting through sound conservation laws.
and that the time is at hand for a big
constructive advance in conservation,
Clifford Pinchot, president of the Ma
tional Conservation Association. issued
statement today directing attention
to the connection between conservation
and national preparedness.
"One of the greatest factors" Mr..
Pinchot said. 'in national preparedness
which Congress will discuss this winter
is conservation. Natural resources un-
der national control are the founda-
tions of national defense, as this world
war has shown. Coal, oil. timber and
other resources are as important in
modern warfare as men and arms.
Water power in particular must be
kept in the public hands, because it is
necessary to produce the nitrates with
out which smokeless powder cannot be
made.

Mr.. Gaffney's Statement.

The statement. in part, follows:
Mr. Gaffney thinks the trouble start
ed with a story which the Morning
Post of London printed August II.
based on wire from it's correspondent
in Bern, to the effect that he had been
rude to Americans and British in Mu-
Mich. Fleet street correspondents ca
bled to papers in New York, one of
which also printed that a New York
Irishman attempted to send a secret
letter to him by the Austrian consul
general.
Mr.. Gaffney said that as far as he
can classify them the attacks are:
"Rudeness to Americans and British
in Munich.
Smuggling secret letter.
Commenting Berlin paper which
attacked President Wilson.
Dining Sir Roger Easement.
Approving newspaper attack on
Office in Necessary Turmoil"
He says that in the time of the mob
ilization his office was in necessary
turmoil. The work increased tenfold
in four or fve days. In a few days
more the volume swelled again. when
British interests were committed to
his charge. Willing but unframed VOL
unteers in the consulate may have oc-
casionally been rude. but no complaint
was made to him at the time. Per-
sonally he was uncivil to no one.
"Of the secret letter which it is al
legged was handed in at the Austrian
consulate general in New York city he
knows nothing. Such was not received
by him and if handed in he cannot be
held responsible, he says.
LAS to the third charge, commencing
the Continental Times of Berlin, ac-
cused of attacking President Wilson,
he says that he praised the papers

Care of Water Power.

'"The administration already has to its
credit the passage of the Alaska rail-
road bill and the Alaska coal leasing
bill, measures for which we have stood
for wars. Government control of the
resources of the nation is vital part
of any plan for national defense, be-
cause the nation must be industrially
efficient, with natural resources ready
for mobilization, if it is to be prepared
either for war or for peace.
The action which we shall urge at
the coming session has been before
Congress. with our support, for nearly
ten years. 1t includes bill for de-
veloping water powers on the public
lands and in the national forests: a
bill for the development of govern
phate lands; bill for the development
of water power on navigable streams,
and bill for restoring and develop
ing the meat-producing capacity of
300, 200. 900 acres of public range. Each
one of these measures" continued Mr..
Pinchot, represents the result of study
and investigation covering many years.
Each one, in the form we advocate,
has been carefully drawn by experts
and adequately safeguards the rights
of the public on the one hand, and of
the capitalist who is not too greedy on
the other. Except the bill for develop

at the last session of Congress, and
were then defeated by anti-conserva-
tion obstructionists.
Fear Would-Be Grabbers.
"It is with the desire to beat down
this opposition and at this critical
stage to raise these conservation
measures out of controversy and de-
lay. and put them in effect that the
National Conservation Association
calls public attention to the need for
action.
THE only enemies we have to fear
are the states-rights wouldbe grab
bers of natural resources, who for
years have been blocking these meas
ures, preferring no action to the pas
sage of good bill. l call particular
attention to the obstructive tactics Of
the water power interests, which, as
official government reports show, are
highly organized and centralized. II
Is a fact that some of the more public
spirited water power men have seen
the light and appreciate the necessity
for protecting the public rights in the
white coal resources of the United
States through national control. From
the others we expect the usual opposi-
ton to the passage of conservation
legislation. If, however, the admins
tration will push these measures
through to a final vote at the coming
session of Congress, there is every rea-
son to expect they will be passed"

tatian when the distance is one ana
a half miles or more.
In certain states Transportation q.
public expense is permissive only, In
others obligatory. Ohio, for example.
requires transportation for children
two miles or more from the school
while other states requires transpor-
tation when the distance is | Y miles
or more.
In several OF the states, according
TO the bulletin, the school authorities
may pay parents or guardians a fixed
amount per day for transportation
while Maine, Vermont, Minnesota,
South Dakota, and Oregon permit
payment for room and board for pu-
pills in homes convenient to the
schools where the cost of so doing
does not exceed the cost OF transpof-
tation.
AS TO the means OF transportation
the bulletin says: Sentiment seems
to favor the school wagon where
properly managed; yet while the was-
on Is the usual form of conveyance
furnished, many children are trans
ported by steam railroads, electric
cars, automobiles, and even by gaso-
line launches"
Competent drivers are essential In
any plan for transportation, according
10 the bulletin. The character OF the
driver is SO important that state leg
ielation in some instances, for exanl-
pie Wisconsin, requires that leach
driver contracted with must be OF ex-
cellent moral character, trustworthy,
End responsible, and must furnish !,
safe team with suitable conveyance.
The kind OF the wagons used is re-
garded as so important that many
states purchase their own wagons
and hire only drivers and teams. 1.-THE
best wagons" declares the bulletin,
are those where the driver sits in
side with the children. and where
there are glass sides instead Of cur
tains." In cold weather rugs and
iap-robes are used, and sometimes the
wagons are heated by means of oil
stoves.
The cost per pupil for transporta-
ton. as given by the bulletin, ranges
from 10 to Is cents per day. The
average expense for the school, year
lis about $23 per pupil.
