 ing 1885 adults, were making less than 5: per week. Pressed by Chairman Walsh he lodged through four pages of testi- mony and when finally cornered said to divide the g or less amount by six ir order to get the daily wage. McKelway has lived in the south and knows thai no wage schedule of B 1-3 cents per day has prevailed in the last 20 years. He could have taken data from the 1914 re- port of the bureau of labor, but he went back to the 1908 report.
 Wages Vary
 ''The 1908 report gives the wages of North Carolina mill operatives as varying from s3.S6 to $6.56 per week, but there is in it table of earnings for specified week and summing up the earnings for the specified week 1t shows that in both northern and southern mills there were number who. of course. working part time during that week. earned less than g. 'IE order to give you illiteracy figures he went back even further and gave you the statistics of 1900 waving aside the 1910 statistics with the passing remark that they were slightly different. If he had given you the 1914 statistics he would have shown that 87 per cent of the mill opera tives in North Carolina can read and write and that the percentage is higher in the other southern states.
 He complains in his evidence that the southern cotton manufacturers do not welcome the representatives of the na- tional child labor committee to their mills. In the first place the cotton manufac- turers regard the national child labor committee as a band of parasites and grafters and in the second place experi- ence has shown that they take advan- tage of every courtesy to msrepresent and falsify conditions"

 Extraordinary Conditions
 Lord Lansdowne, opening the meeting, said that ordinarily he disliked coalition governments, but the conditions al present. were extraordinary
 The country he said, 'is making the most stupendous effort it ever has beenl called upon to make. We do not even| yet know what dimensions that efrort may prove to be. New theatres of war unfold themselves before us; new de- yeopments, some of them of the most sinister and horrible kind, are taking place day by day. and we must be con- vinced at such a moment nothing but al supreme effort on the part of the whoe nation will meet the difficulties and theI opposition to us.
 .sThe country, continued Lord Lans-I downe Ina already experienced not al few disappointments. There had been| shortcomings. miscalculations some prob-| ably excusable, some of them perhaps not There had been something amiss with theI national organization of the country.
 Munitions Shortage
 We are not sure,'' said he, that we are getting enough men, or if We are getting the right men. AS to munitions will not dwell on that painful chapter But 1t is a matter of common knowl-1 edge that the failure in the supply of esd sential munitions not once, but many| times has interfered with the progress of military operations. If this, or half of this. is true, it means that the siayingl power of the country will be taxed as itI never was taxed before, and if we arel going to pull through it must not be by| the efforts of one party or another party, but by the efforts of the whole nation.s3 Lord Lansdowne explained that the unions ist leaders considered that a general elec-H tion would have been national disasterE of the first magnitude, and, although their unofficial adrice has been accepted by the government thus throwing somel of the responsibility on them. they feltl that their share of the responsibility should be full and complete. They, there-l fore. had accepted the premer's invita~I tion.

On Two-Cent Passenger Rates

! both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims Of the
railroad were sustained by the facts
Two cents did not pay the cost OF
carrying a passenger mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used in
its passenger as well as its freight
business. For the purposes of the
case, the railroad did not deny this,
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing tho business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the Su-
preme Court. Its decision responds
to the judgment OF the fair-minded
sentiment Of the country. The Su-
preme Court says that. even though
a railroad earns surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates. that affords no reason
for compelling it to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway COM
pany. II the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as reason for COM
pe1ling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost. 1t would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reaffirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon its
own bottom"
