Adjournment is looking farther of
than ever and, if the Democratic lead
ers in Congress are to be believed, it
lis the fault of President Wilson.
Where it looked a week or two ago
as if the present session might end
near the first of July, it now appears
as though it would be nearer the first
Of October Men high in the councils
of the Democratic party, state that
President Wilson is so insistent for
certain legislation, that notwithstand-
ing the fact that he has been told
that it will take until fall TO pass it,
that he will not yield and let his pet
measures go over until next winter.
1t is even being stated that he hobs
up every few days with something
new he desires. The fact that Con-
gress has been practically marking
time since December LIST, is now said
to be largely due TO the fact that with
the constantly changing mind Of the
his party leaders have been
obliged TO sit around and wait and see
just what he really wants

According to all reports, the first
attempted caucus of the House Dem
ocrats on the Philippine bill, which
gives those islands freedom in four
years, was a regular monkey and
parrot" time. The news has leaked
out that a number Of the faithful"
refused to obey the orders Of Presi-
dent Wilson, who wanted the bill
passed as it came from the Senate. In
the midst of the party row some one
made a point of no quorum and there
was roll call and members were pull
ed away from their dinners in nearby
hotels and requested to hurry back to
the Capitol. Finally the disagreeing
Democrats had to adjourn for twenty
four hours in order to start up the
road roller and to let some Of the
brethren cool Off

Il confess ! am somewhat surprised
to see some of our New England com
mercial bodies endorsing the so-caled
Rainey tariff commission bill, which is
the administration measure" said
Congressman c. A. Sulloway Of New
Hampshire. "They have failed to re-
alize what it means. A tariff commits
sion appointed by President Wilson
along Democratic lines, means moth
ing to protection, because the Demo
cratic party does not believe in pro-
tecting American industries. What
the Wilson tariff commission bill will
stand for is tariff for revenue only.
This tariff commission will not at
tempt to foster, protect or develop
American industry, but will expend its
time and energy to produce tariff
that will raise certain amount of
revenue, regardless Of what happens
to industry. From gossip that is pre-
valent here, this commission is TO be
headed by college professor, who is
long on theory and short on practice.
Unless a tariff commission is named
which believes in protection, it can be
but little less than farce so far as
industry and prosperity are concern
ed"

Mr.. Herman Rosenthal, adver-
tising manager for Sears, Roebuck
& Co. of Chicago, recently told
the members of the American
Ad Club one of the methods by
which that company extended it's
trade. He said:
We have bureau whose duty it is to read,
each week. the country newspapers from all over
the country There is not a paper of any conse-
quence in our trade territory that bureau does
not get. This bureau looks over these paper and
when we find town where the merchants are not
advertising in the local paper. Immediately
flood that territory with our literature. 1t always
brings results far in excess of the same effort put
forth in territory where the local merchants all
the time use their local paper.
AS the Commercial Association
of Madison, Wis, has pointed,
out, this statement rather lets
the cat out of the bag" 1t lets
it out, indeed squarely into the
lap of the small town merchant
who, while failing to advertise
judiciously in his local paper,
berates his fellow toWnsmen for
assisting in making dividends for
the mail order companies.

ten hours, which makes rate
of 81 1-2c an hour, or $500 per
day for eight hours. For twenty
six working days in the month
he would draw $78, and deduct
ing at least SIS to defray his per-
sonal expense while away from
home on his engine, it leaves
him S63 for his months salary
a stipend only slightly in excess
of a Mexican sheep herder, and
the sheep herder is given his
provisions. A brakeman's pay
runs about the same as a fireman,
only there is a special provision
in his schedule that after max
ling 5000 miles in any one month
they reduce his pay 23c per 100
miles on all additional mileage.
The present pay of the engine
man on a switch engine is forty
four cents an hour, and for twen-
ty-six days of eight hours each
he would receive $91.50, while
his fireman receives 27c an hour,
which would make his monthly
salary $50. Is for twenty-six eight
hour days. The yard switch
man gets 37c an hour, and for
Itwenty-six days of eight hours
each his pay check will amount
to $77.00.
| In train service the moving of
a freight train ten miles is equiv
alent to one hours time, and as
we understand the demand of the
trainmen they ask the railroads
to increase the running time to
IL 1-2 miles an hour, thus cover
ing 100 miles in eight hours in
stead of ten, which reduces the
working time to an eight-hour
day. The additional cost to the
railroads comes when the men
are required to work over the
eight hours, and for this over
time they are asking for time and
a half. In all other trades men
receive extra pay for overtime,
and double pay for Sunday.
AS we said in the beginning Of
this article we are not familiar
enough with the intricacies of
the question to argue it from Ell
ther side very profoundly, and
even this crude effort to cor
rect the belief entertained by
many of the fabulous wages paid
to railroad men, may fall short in
many ways, but it at least pos
sesses the merit of being accu-
rate as to the statements so far
as they go.
Now as to the railroads them
selves, it is possible with all the
linroads made in their revenues
by lot OF jack-leg politicians
in the legislature and ranting
demagogues on railroad commits
sions, the railroads cannot stand
the additional overtime expense,
under the existing laws and rules
that hedge them about. This is
the question that must be set
tied between the railroads and
their employees at their confer
ence. But it is not fair to the
employees for newspapers with an
array of percentages and deci-
NAL points to attempt to cloud
the issue and leave the infer
ence that railroad employees are
the highest paid class of labor.

WAR REVIEW
FOR THE DAY

The capture Of Monastir by General
Sarrairs army in Macedonia is looked
upon by entente military writer's as OF
notable political importance but opln-
ion appears to be divided as to wheth'
er it will be followed by military de-
velopments Of sweeping character.
Events OF the next day or two are
expected to show whether the captors
of the Macedonia capitol will require a
period of rest before starting new
advance or whether the pursuit OF the
retreating Germo-B Bulgarian forces Is
to be pressed, despite adverse wealth
er conditions.

DENY PRESENCE
Of U. S. AGENT
At COAL YARDS

A report that federal agent was In
Richmond Saturday and today to force
coal dealers to release cars By I'M
loading them Immediately. could not
be substantiated at any Of the big
coal yards where the activities Of the
government representative were re-
ported to have taken place.
At the two biggest yards In the city,
there were not more than four cars
standing on side tracks and all were
being unloaded or were ready for re-
lease tonight. There was demurrage
due on only two cars.
At the offices of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, the same report was
in circulation to the effect that coal
dealers were being neatly tripped up
by young man representing the gov
eminent.
The agent would ask for job. &C.
cording to the report In each case.
the story went. he wanted to work on
the cars and was refused.
1--WE are in no hurry to get those un-
loaded" the dealers answered, accord
ing to the story in circulation.
1.-THE railroad is" the agent would
reply. flashing a badge" and see that
you get them off within the 48 hours"
There was no official connection be-
tween the agent and the railroad COM
pany, according to railroad employees
who told the story. It had been told
also by officials, they said.
A yard boss for one big coal dealer
said the report started after young
man who rode a new bicycle came to
him seeking work Saturday and re-
turned again this morning. The young
man told conflicting stories and also
was too light for the work, the yard
boss said.
At the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany's office 1t was said the railroad
is endeavoring to get possession of
100 coal cars which are sidetracked at
Kokomo loaded with steel. 1t was said
the railroad is forced to pay IS cents
a day for the cars of other railroads
which 1t Is using.

CHIEF FRoWNS
ON Tilted LID
FOR new YEARS

How will Richmond ring out the
year, 1916, and ring in the new year?
This question is causing more TO-
ment here now than any other with
all parties concerned-except the cele-
orators. The celebrators in this case
are the lend" and 1t is the means"
that is causing the worry.
Chief Goodwin was preparing today
to go into consultation with the per-
sons who furnish the means and de-
termine what the consensus OF opin-
ion is on the subject Of having q wet
celebration of holiday which falls on
dry day.
Must Abide BY Law.
Chief Goodwin indicated that he
does not propose to putting straw
in the way of prospective celebrators
who are willing to have good time In
the, right way, but. he. will not close
one eye to violations Of the law.
The whole argument is based on the
premise that "ring" in the case of ring
ing in and out OF years, is SYNONYM
GUS with the "clink" Of cocktail glass
es and the pop" Of champagne corks.
For the benefit Of those who have fall
ed to look forward, New Years comes
on Monday and 1916 closes on Sunday.
The law was consulted by the chief
but he found there is no way to get
around 1.-THE important part of the
celebration can be had for money only
until II o'clock Saturday night and
not again until o'clock Tuesday
morning.
Could Buy Drinks Saturday.
1T may be that celebrators would
buy their drinks Saturday night, If
they wanted to celebrate Sunday
night" suggested Chief Goodwin. If
they wish to buy a stock in advance.
they could consume 1t when they
pleased. OF course we could not toler-
ate any dispensing out OF hours
AS the situation now stands clubs
with government licenses are the only
ones in tho clear.
Hotels are bothering greatly over
the question as the New Years eve
celebration has meant much to them
recently. The Westcott and Arlington
have had big crowds and have served
scores Of sumptuous repasts which are
more or less dependent upon tue wet
supply for success.
