cars new records are being made in
shipments by freight car loads. Janu-
AIRY reached a new high point. $500
carloads, and when the totals for Feb
ruary are in this short month seems
likely to show up ahead OF January.
With plenty of freight cars in sight
there is no doubt the manufacturers
would be turning out more autos than
they are.
There is one way that the problem
as to freight cars can be improved. and
that is for the receivers OF carload
shipments to unload them promptly in
order that the empties be returned to
the factories as promptly as possible
We are urging this ali the time. and

TRADE UNIONIsTs BACK
WALSH COMMITTEE

Industrial Relations Day viii be
celebrated by the 675 Central Labor
Unions in the principal cities during
the latter part of January In the
case of the majority. Sunday, January,
16, will be the day.
The purpose of Industrial Relations
day is to provide for close co-opera-
ton between the City Central Unions
and the Committee on Industrial Re
1ations of which Frank P. Walsh is
Chairman. A local committee on in
dustriaI relations will be created in
each Central Union, which will take
charge of the active campaign for
their own cities. This Committee vviif
form a medium through which the
Committee on Industrial Relations
from its headquarters In Washington
can quickly and effectively reach the
100000 trade unionists of the coun-
try.
kilograms and letters from the Cen
trail Unions throughout the country
are being received by the Committee
on Industrial Relations giving the
names of the members of the local
committees and the speakers who
have been chosen and. promising ac-
tive cooperation with the entire pro
gram of the National Committee.
Practically all of the cities will hold
public meetings, and arrangements
have been made for special speakers
and music to stir the enthusiasm Of
the audiences, who have already sig
nified themselves, through their unan-
tmous resolution at the San Francisco
Convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. as being united behind
the Walsh program.
The full significance OF these meet
ings lies in the fact that they form the
beginning OF an active campaign back
ed by all the trade unionists OF the
country to put into. effect the recon-
mendations made by the Commission
on Industrial Relations, including such
radical reforms as a drastic inherit
lance tax, government ownership OF
and telegraphs, govern
ment protection of the right OF work (
ers to organize, and effective protest /
against the abuses of Justice by courts
and corporations.

Assessor Gorham has not given up
the effort to have the Redding Grange
property relieved of the obligation to
pay taxes and announces that the
matter will be brought before the
board of relief when the board meets
next month. Mr.. Gorham claims ex-
emption under the law on several
grounds, one being that the grange is
incorporated as a literary society,
another that its library is a public L
library within the meaning of the
statute, and third that it yearly
holds an agricultural exhibition open
to ALL He further asserts that the
claim to exemption has been once up
held by decision of the reliefb GARD.
In an earlier stage of the controversy
he was credited with the assertion
that the board of seIectmen two years
ago abated the taxes on legal grounds.
This statement the se1ectmen of the
year absolutely denied, declaring that
even q. request for abatement had
never been presented to them. Now
the members of the board of relief
say that their body has not passed on
the question or had it placed before
them in any form. This double dis
recollection to put it in another form.
