SAYS ROADS MUST
HAVE INCREASES
PRESIDENT FELTON, OF GREAT
WESTERN TESTIFIES AT RATE
HEARING.

Chicago, H.. March 5.-That rail-
roads throughout the west must be
permitted to earn more if they are to
keep pace with the publics demand
for increased services was the sub
stance of testimony given before In
terstate Commerce Commissioner Dan
niels today at the hearing of the ap-
plication of II western railroads for
increased freight rates.
Cross-examined by Clifford Thorne,
representing shippers who oppose the
increases, President FELTON, of the Chi
cago Great Western said the mileage
income of his road was decreasing. He
denied his road was so prosperous
that il did not need increased rates.
He pointed out that while improved
methods had reduced expenses in one
ed by the public placed heavier re
sponsibilities on tie roads.
You think the western railroads
ought to be guaranteed 6 per cent
profit on their capitalization? ?" asked
Thorne-
The railroads should be assured a
profit" replied FELTON,.
How about investments in other
lines OF business? Ought they be as
sured a definite profit
The difference is that other lines
of business are not restricted on the
price of what they have to sell. as the
railroads are" said FELTON,. Under
present conditions one road is not
earning a profit on half of what it
would take to build the road"
Even if proposed rates we're en-
forced, said FELTON,, they would not
be enough. as his road would enjoy
only an increase Of S325,0OO.
Festus J. Wade, a St Louis banker, /
-estifying for the railroads. said the /
value of railroad securities had great /
" decreased as investments. due to
constant TRADE against railroads. He
attributed the financial condition of the .
TO insufficient revenue of the
-ailroads. Never was there so much
die money as now. The federal re
serve banks have not been able since
he inception to lend enough money 10

Machinists' Chief Tells of
Effect on Humanity OF
Congress Action
TAVENNER WINS POINT
Timing of Workers and Bonus
System Eliminated From Ar
my and Navy Bills.
BY n. r. WILSON.
Especial to The Argus. }

Washington, D. c., March 5-N. p.
Alias, president of district No. A,
International Association of Machin-
lists, declared today that the amend
ment providing for the elimination OF
the Taylor system as contained in
the army and navy bills, was a great
victory for labor.
The anti-Taylor spstem amend
ment prohibiting the timing of work
men and the premium or bonus sys-
TEN of payment In government
shops, he said. eliminates the two
worst features of the Taylor system
of shop management. These two fea-
ures of the system are regarded as
basis upon which all of the abuses
against which we have contended are
founded. The passage OF these claus
es by congress is a great victory for
organized labor and indicates that
these abnormal speeding-up systems
are not regarded with favor by our
national congress. While the scope OF
legislation is limited to appropria-
tions contained in these bills, the
very fact that congress and the presi-
dent. by signing the bills, have gone
on record against these systems OF
scientific management should warn
not only the government depart
ments, bur also employers in general
throughout the United States that
they cannot institute systems of shop
management in an industrial plant
which, if carried out TO their logical
would mean the re-ensiav-
ing of the human race.
1T means that as a general pro-
position. congress does not believe
that working people exist for the
purpose of seeing how much work
can be turned out in a life time, but
that people should work only at
normal gait and that standards of
performance in shops should not be
set so high that men Of ordinary cap
abilities can't meet the requirement.
We hope that the future attitude OF
the government departments Will not
be such as 10 force us to seek furth-
ar legislation on this subject"

Merchants to Reopen
Their Shops.
AND ACCEPT CURRENCY
Feared Lives of Foreigners I'm
periIed by False Reports
Circulated.

Washington n C.. March 5-The
food situation in Mexico City has been
complicated By q new decree by Gen,
craI ObFcEou. CarruuZa commander,
ordering an merchants 20 open their
shops and accept constitutionali5t cur
rency. The Spanish ambassador today
discussed the situation with the state
department officials and Secretary
Bryan took the latest official dis
patches TO the cabinet meeting
Pinasiug OF shops OF Spanish mer-
chants already has begun and other
ogtrages are feared.
To add 20 the tension the Zapatistas
have been engaged Ia skirmishes with
Obrreous' troops IN the suburbs.
Sir Cecil SpriuE-Ricc. British am
b.tssador. aud Seuor Riano. Spanish
ambassador. made separate calls on
S~crctaEy Bryan today and discuss
I'D the Mexico city situation. Both IA
quired for Information from the state
department.
The Spanish ambassador had a tel
egram from the Spanish minister In
Mexico CITY. which related that ali
shops IN that capital had been closed:
that merchants we're fearing riots and
piiiage. and that the piilasing OF Span
ish shops had begun
\ press dispatch last night said the
city post commander had ordered the
rcopening of the stores and the &C
ceptauce of constitutionaiist money
The riiIaging was attributed 70 the
failure % ObreEon 20 relieve situ-
alton In which no food supplies were
entering the city. AID the unemployed
were without funds and clamoring for
relief.
In his proclamation and statements
10 the press General ObreE0n has
been blaming the economic situation
iu Mexico on the merchants and on
foreigners. who. be has told the peo-
PIE. have refused 20 act charitably to-
ward them.
This does not accord with informa-
tion reaching the state department.
The latter Information is that foreign
crs have made liberal donations 10 a
relief fund and are cndeayoring 20 I
relieve the situation. but cannot bring /
food into the capital because the Car
rhuzistas are utilizing the railroads
between Vera Cruz and the capital Tor 4
purposes exclusively
NO answer has been received from f.

ions IN which Secretary Bryan di-
-ected Special Agent John r. Siiiiman I
10 bring 20 Carranza's attention the /

srai officially is reported 90 have de-
siaFed he would leave Mexico City az *
he head % HIS troops rather than FIRE
IN the hungry populace II riots start
-. explaining that he was doing this
because the merchants were not con
ributing toward the relief OF the sit
ia;ion.
The British and Spanish ambassa-
lors did not ask the state department
or action or outline a plan for the re-
icf OF the situation. but manifested
icsp concern for the safety OF their
lationais In the capital.
The largest foreign colony is now
