The recent action Of the Interstate

increase in freight rates IN tie eastern
classification of territory, the applice-
ton of the roads to state and inter
state commissions for an increase IN
rates, and the utterances OF President
Wilson ON the subject bring the farm.

problem of an Increase In freight

Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squafsly anu
we will do SO in this instance.
The transportation facilities OF ife
United States are inadequate TO ef.
feetively meet the demands IT coTn.

and West additional railway mileage

willing to share such proportion OF
the Increase as justly belongs t. him,
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner In which this l.
crease shall be levied.
Hates Follow Lines of Least Resist
ance,
The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines OF least re
sistance. The merchant, the manu-
facturer, the miner, the miller. tire
Mmberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power OF organ
lzed tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad CON
missions, these interests. with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business te
involved
The farmer is seldom represented
ut rate hearings. as his organizations
have never dad the finances 10 EN-
ploy counsel to develop his side of
the case and, as a result. the products
of the plow bear an unequal burden
Of the freight expense. a glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion Cotton, the leading
agricultural product of the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate o.
any necessary commodity in com
lnerce. and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole is out OF pro
portion with that OF the products of
The factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule OF rates, tut
hope the commission will be able to
gave the railroad such an increase ID
rates as is necessary without ievying
q further toll upon the products of
the pillow. The instance seems to pre-
sens an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates IS
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.

PRICE OF BEAUTY RISES AS WAR
FIERCELY RACES AND TARIFFS VEX
Rosy Cheeks That Grow Under Rouge, Invisible Face
Cream and Powder Puffs Pale Under
Ruling of Customs Officials

Tho cost OF vanity Is going up, espe
cially fo- women. First the price Of
rosy checks was advanced by an increase
in the cost OF rouge, invisible face pow
ders and beauty creams. Then the cost
Of beauty spots took n jump. A year
ago, good, healthy, dreamy June spots
could he bought Tor 10 cents "a dozen,
and suddenly, on account OF the war or
the scarcity OF the material the spots
went 10 25 cents a dozen. This forced
many girls to buy only an imitation OF
beauty spots when they hadn't the cheek
to sport the real thing
But the troubles OF beauty asplrants
did not stop there. Today IL was an
nounced that there was to be a big jump
I'm the price Of powder puffs. This is due
to the fact that all importers must pay
a 40 per cent. ad valorem duty.

the powder rag. This Is a circular af-
fair which looks like n half-baked FISH
cake. IL Is decidedly porous and can
retain supply OF powder indefinitely.
The rag succeeded the pun because the
latter was condemned by physicians.
They declared that the nuffy pun was
the best thing in the world for spreading
skin disease and so forth. But Il appears
that they didn't say n word against the
rag, which would appear to be just as
dangerous-and so the rag thrived
Wherever there Is woman, an elevator
and a mirror, one Of these rags is sure
to appear
Recently some Of the fair sex contend
ed that the rag was Just as dangerous as
the pufs, and as the latter is much more
dainty, nuny and picturesque many re-
turned to the pun. And then the dealers
got busy and imported them in large num-
bers. And so they have been reminded

A. F. OF 1. ARGUES
 OVER CARPENTERS
Resolution to Suspend Entire Brotherhood Finally Lost
 Substitute Adopted.

San Francisco, Nov. 20-What labor leaders said today they consider one of the most serious breaches that ever threatened organized labor, de- veloped late last night when a reso- lUtion was presented to the Ameri- can Federation Of Labor, in conven- tion here. for the suspension of the charter of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners which has membership of more than 200, ,0OO and is said to be the second largest international union in America.
 A substitute resolution not pro- viding for expulsion, finally was adopted.
 The proposed suspension was the result of the utilization of the carpen- ters and joiners with the Machinists union.
 Throughout the discussion that fol- lowed the introduction of the resolu- tions delegates from the carpenters and joiners sat in silence and were accused by Andrew Furuseth, presi- dent of the International Seamen' s union of deliberately seeking to compel the federation to withdraw their charter"
 'If this is not true" he said, "why do they remain so quiet and unprotesting
 Samuel Gompers made a strong protest against the adoption of the resolution. There is something big ger, he said, than their rules and regulations.
 We are not safe from disintegra- tion and failure," said President Gompers, 'If we lose sight of the ideas of human broth erhood." The carpenters union was accused of repairing, dismantling and setting 1 up machinery in buildings in various l cities, and with claiming the right to do such work, in defiance of the ex- press commands of the federation con- vention in Philadelphia last year.

ALMSHOUSE FOUND
 PUBLIC MENACE
TOrrington Water Company Wins Condemnation
 Proceedings.

Torrington, Nov. 20.-Judge Edwin B. Gager of the superior court of Litchfield county has handed down a decision in favor of the Torrington Water Co.,, in suit against the town of Torrington for the condemnation of the town farm property situated on the water shed. The court finds that the continuance of the almshouse is a danger to the health of the com munity sufficient to warrant exercising the right of eminent domain. The de- cision provides that a committee of three disinterested free holders of the county be appointed to determine and award the amount to be paid by the water company to the town.
 The case has attracted widespread attention owing to the fact that it is an indirect result of the typhoid fever epidemic of four year ago. The farm in question was described by the state board of health as one of the sources of possible contamination of, the Wa ter. supply It was then owned by Vim. A. Sichmund. Last spring 1t was purchased by the town for aims house purposes against the protest of the water company, which claimed that as an almshouse site the farm would be a greater menace to the health than when owned by an indi- V1dual. The case was stubbornly fought by the town.
 The town paid 900 for the farm and has spent several thousand dollars additional in improvements.

HARTFORD UNION TO
 DISCUSS LOCAL CASE
Will Consider Protest Filed Against Philharmonic Orchestra Play
 ing Here Nov. 20.

Whether music lovers of this city will have the opportunity to hear the Philharmonic orchestra of Hartford at the Womans club con- cert in the Russwin Lyceum on Mo- vember 29 will probably depend on what action the Hartford Musicians union will take at meeting tomor- row.
 Robert Prutting, leader of the Philharmonic orchestra, admitted to this paper that the local union had filed a protest with the Hartford or ganization against the orchestra ap- bearing here because of the strike of the stagehands at the Lyceum Mir. Prutting knows little concerning the protest except that it has been filed and action will be taken tomor- row by the union.
 From another source it is learned that nearly seventy-f1ve per cent. of the members of the Phi1harmo monic or chestra are not affiliated with the union and therefore will not be af fected by any decree of that organi- Zation.

STATE POLICE GET
 ALLEGED BURGLAR
Frank Kokosky of Washington Street Arrested for Burgalarizing Slop-
 CTS Mountain Bungalow.

Frank Kokosky of 214 Washington street was arrested at his home this noon by Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth, Captain Robert Hurley Of the state police and State Policemen Bridgeman and Shields. He is charged with burglarizing Harold Sloper's bungalow on White oak mountain on Oct. 25 and will be tried in Plainville town court, as the crime was com mitted in that town.
 MT. Slopers bungalow has been broken into and robbed many times during the past year or so. On Oc- tober 25 the door was battered in with a pick ax and a valuable double barrel shot gun was stolen. The fol- lowing week entrance was again cf- fected and a quantity of clothing be- longing to the caretaker was stolen.
 Superintendent T. F. Egan of the state police was notified by MT. Slop- CT. Later the New Britain man ob- tained certain information which he turned over to the authorities and today the three state officers rounded up Kokosky, in whose room, they say, they found the missing gun.
 Identification of Kokosky as the probably burglar was made through a small screw on the shot gun. When MT. Sloper had the weapon he re- placed a missing screw with 8 bright brass screw. After the gun was stolen the thief removed the tell-tale brass screw and substituted a steel screw, but the one substituted did not match the original and thus identification was made possible. ..... ,..-.

Allies Too Late.

London, Nov. 20, 11:59 a. m-Al- though no official confirmation has been received of the report that the Rulgarians have captured Monastir, in southwestern Serbia, little hope is felt in England that the announce ment is premature. Accepting it as true the impression is growing that the entente allies arrived too late to give any service to the Serbians ! The only thing certain in regard to the plight of Serbia is that for the entente allies its military situation is going from bad to worse. In the
 north the main Serbian armies are

 no better than hold their positions.
 Optimistic feeling in regard to the X diplomatic situation in Greece still
 persists in England. The reasons for
 ths optimism, however, continue to be . obscure. The weather seems to have inter-
