statements issued in Washington this
week. Nearly all the positions on
farms around Washington, and includ.
ing several positions in Virginia,
Maryland and West Virginia have

optimistic that the government may
thus partially afford a solution of the
farm labor problem, which has vexed
the agriculturists Of the country for
SO many seasons.
Opportunities Just made public in

two vacant positions in West Virginia.
In Brooke county, W. Va, there is a
vacancy for single man for general

transportation to be advanced and
deducted from his wages. Also a man
for general farm work in Summers

WASHINGTON D. G., March 1s.-
the two important decisions handed
down by the supreme court in favor
OF the railroads, during the past week,
and the summaries of these judgments
affect West Virginia and indicate that
In a general wayathey apply to all
the railroads in the country, which
can submit similar facts to any court.
AS they cover the question OF con-
discatory rates for both freight and
passengers they seem to cover most
OF the ending disputes and law suits
before the interstate commerce com.
mission, the various state railroad
commissions and the courts.
In the North Dakota freight rate
case the supreme court holds that
the state law fixing rates for carrying
coal within the state Is ,inconstitu.
tonal, because the rates fixed do not
afford the carriers proper remunera.
ton, and they are therefore confisca.
tory in effect.
In West Virginia passenger rate
case the court held that a rate Of two
cents a mile Is too low. The tudg.
ground. The. court holds that the fact
that a railroad is earning fair profits
has nothing to do with whether a
particular rate is too low or not.
II the state fixes confiscatory pas.
senger rate, while letting the railroad
charge profitable freight rates, the
railroad can now and hereafter force
the state to let 1t collect passenger
rates that make that branch OF its
traffic reasonably profitable, provided
conditions warrant a general advance
on all railroads in the same territory.
What II confiscatory rate still re.
mains a question of fact, but the sig.
nificent thing is that state legislatures
and state railroad commissioners can
not decided 1t for themselves, as the
court must do, that hereafter.

Trade in cereals continues very
slack. with practically no offerings at

situation, buyers are at sea as to the

the immediate future, and therefore
are unwilling TO meet the higher pric-
