RATE DECISION
FAILS CONSUMER
Coal Official Says Retail Prices
Will Not Railroads
Little Affected.

The seriousness of the reduction in
anthracite rates by the Interstate Com
merce Commission was minimized by
the anthracite road officials yesterday.
The larger roads, they say, are not af-
fected to any great extent. The two
roads most dependent on anthracite
tonnage are the Delaware e. Hudson
and the Ontario e. Western. 1t was
said these roads could present a sue
cessful appeal to the courts on the
grounds of confiscation.
The gross and net loss of the Lacka-
wanna will be less than $1,000. 900:
Lehigh Valleys about 81 100000. Read
ing's loss will be counterbalanced by
the additional profits going to the coal
company. Jersey Central expects to
make up a large part of its loss by
increased water RATES to New England,
and Erie, since certain through rates
were allowed to stand, is little ruffled.
President F. d. Underwood of the
Erie, in Milwaukee, said:
IF the price Of coal to the consumer
is reduced the rate reduction will work
benefit TO large portion of the COM
munity. On the other hand, as is gem
orally the case when midGlemen are
involved, if the price of coal remains
as now, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has succeeded in picking the
pockets of railroad shareholders and
putting it into the pockets of coal deal
ers. This is what may be termed fnan-
cial juggling. think railroad share
holders outnumber the coal dealers.
Thus We have the greatest harm to the
greatest number"
+. +. LOOMS, vice-president Of the
Lackawanna. in the absence OF Presi-
dent W. II. Truesdale, said: "The
Lackawanna is but slightly affected by
the rate reduction. The practices
which the commission condemns so Sc
verely were corrected more than a year
ago. 1t is interesting to note that the
investigation was started on the in
itiative of the commission and not on
the complaint oany shipper"
The price paid for coal by the con-
sumner will not be changed, according to
a leading official of one of the largest
coal companies. The companies af-
fected by the rate reduction, he said,
viii raise the price of coal through the
companies they control at the pit
mouth.

Mrs. Mary C. Pickett, of q west
Eighth Street, has the distinction OIL
being the only woman dealer IN 1--we
Holsters in this country.
When her husband died, four years
ago. he willed her his business. she
has managed it under the name Of the
American Lobster Distributing Com
pany. at AIS Ninth Avenue, ever since
Mrs. Pickett supplies nearly all the
hotels and restaurants in this city
and handles about 100 barrels Of lob
sters each day.
Mrs. Pickett is not in the lobster
business through necessity. She is a
lobster enthusiast, and has made an
extensive study Of the habitat, man
ners and pecularities of Broadways
favorite early morning dish. Inc
foibles of the crustacea are her hobby.
She studies the reports Of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries and visits
the lobster pots off the coast OF Maine
annually. She is probably the best
known lobster broker alive. BY eX-
aiming q Holsters claws, she can tell
lust what latitude and longitude he
came from, and whether he is the spe-
cies 70 be used for salad, or the one to
be used for soup.
Only day before yesterday she de-
livered a lecture before the House
wives League, at 25 West Forty-sixth
Street. in which she gave the assem-
bled lobster fanciers expert informa-
ton on how to purchase real fresh
lobster without relying on the word OF
an all too often INSCRIPTIONS fish
dealer. A lobster is in good condition
when he moves his claws vigorously
and flaps his tail with animation, says
Mrs. Pickett. Housewives are prone to
consider any lobster which makes
movement, however feeble, a good one.
This il not so. A dying man Will wave
his ar rs. and so may a dying lobster.
The only kind to spend money Tor Is
the kind that staggers around ZERO
ciously trying to seize and claw every
thing in sight.

road rates. In 1914 the retail price on
April l of CRATE a ton in New York
City, exclusive of higher prices made
on less than ton quantities, was $3.50,
and that of chestnut S6.75, and there is
customarily this difference between
prices for these Sizes, although the
freight charges on both have always
been the same. Furthermore, the retail
prices of the domestic sizes include
from 1928 to $3.03 a ton for distribu
ton after arrival at tidewater, as
against $155 to S1.6O for railway trans
portation from the mines to tide
water"
Mr.. Loree criticised what he called the
lack of attention by the commission
when the railroads side of the case was
being presented. Never was more than
one commissioner at time present
during the presentation Of the evil
dence, he said while often there was
only an employee of the commission
presiding, not one of the seven men
whose votes would decide the issue
being there to hear the testimony.

intention SO multiplied the duties Of

the commissioners that personal atten-
ton to Investigations Of such impor-
lance is not possible, it is desirable
that Congress and the public should be
made fully aware of the fact. The diff
ficult and tremendously important
functions of the commission were in
trusted to its discretion, and the law
provides that its judgment shall be ex-
ercised in the light of the facts dis
closed by full hearings. 1t is not right
that the great property interests of the
railways should be at the mercy of the
commissions subordinates, in whom
Congress has reposed no discretion and
to whom it has delegated no super
visory power"

Ex-Governor Franklin Fort spoke
after the unwilling. He advised the
women before him to put their plea for
the vote on the ground of simple jus
tice, and wound up with a tribute to
Lucy Stone, New Jerseys great citi-
zen."
Interested listeners were the Massi
family, occupants of the house at l6
Hurlburt Street now. All Of them, the
father and mother, the three pretty
children even the two little white dogs
that are the children's pets-were
dressed up for the occasion. The dogs
wore pink ribbons and the mother and
children were in spotless white dresses.
Mrs. Massi said she hadn't thought
much about suffrage, but she would
have her husband vote yes" October 8.
She was obviously very proud of the
tablet. 1t is a bronze tablet, about
90 by Is inches, and bears this in

TUBE CONTRACTORS SUE
Action by Lowest Bidder May
Delay Subway Construction.

A long delay in the completion Of the
Broadway subway may result from the
action taken yesterday in the Supreme
Court by the Hobrook. Cabot & Rol.
Inns Corporation to compel the Board
of Estimate to award the company the
contract for the Times Square station.
An order directing the board 70 show
cause on Tuesday why this should not
be done was issued yesterday by JUS

The Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins Cor
poration, as the lowest bidder for the

clause providing that payment for extra
work be on a basis Of actual cost plus
10 per cent.

STRIKE SPREADING
TO JERSEY CITIES
Machinists in Navy Yard Will
Ask Secretary Daniels for
Higher Wages.

William J. Bramley, business agent
of the International Association of Ma
chinists, addressed a meeting of 900
workers of the Standard Motor Boat
Company in Jersey City last night and
declared that unless the demand for
higher wages and the eight-hour day
was granted a strike would be called
Immediately. Rumors of a strike in
this shop were current earlier in the
day.
The company has refused to grant its
laborers' requests. Bramley has said
on previous occasions that a strike
may be called, and it is expected that
il will spread to the Fletcher machine
shops, in Hoboken, where nearly 700
machinists would be affected.
II is claimed by the company that
about 10 men have returned to work
in the Garvin plant, Spring and Varick
streets, but Bramley stated that these
men consisted merely of sub-foremen.
carpenters and building employees doing
repair work. He said also tia sweep
ers were at work only because it was
necessary to observe factory sanitary
requirements.
Henry c. Hunter, secretary of the
Metal Trades Association, said, how
ever, that 1875 men who had been on
strike in the Garvin Company had re-
turned. At the National Association of
Machinists' headquarters. ll6 Nassau
Street, this was emphatically denied.
Machinists in the Brooklyn navy
yard have decided to put the question
of higher wages before Secretary Dan
iels. They have declared it their pa
triotic duty to defer action till the head
of the department can consider their
demands.
Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. 13.-Strike
conditions still continued day at the
Lake Torpedo Boat Company and the
Grant Manufacturing Company, the
latter being a sub-contracting firm of
the Remington Arms and Ammunition
Company. IL is reported that Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Labor
may be asked to send conciliators here.

at 16 Hurlburt Street Orange, to see
the unwilling of the tablet in honor of
Lucy Stone. who lived there in 1858,
when she made her famous protest
against taxation without representa-
ton" The locality is changed since
that day. The house is row shut in
by ugly buildings, and the hot sun beat
down mercilessly on the shadeless yard,
but the crowd stood attenti"ely through
the ceremony.
The unwilling was preceded by a pa
rade from the local suffrage headquar-
tiers, at 4S3 Main Street, East Orange.
One hundred and fifty motors, includ-
ing a huge and ancient bus from Mid
dleseX County and three rubberneck
wagons, were in il, and all were deco
rated with suffrage banners and huge
punches of goldenrod and other yellow
flowers. DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, of
course, headed the procession in the
brand new automobile which the suf-
fragists presented TO her in the morn
