Ruling Injuries U. S. Com
MERGE, but Washington
Is Helpless
PHILIPPINE TRADE
Is HIT BY EMBARGO
England Will Deny Fuel
Except Where Allies
Are Benefited

Washington, Dec. 5.-Curtailment of
coaling privileges at British ports Is
threatening far-reaching effects on
American shipping, and while repre-
sensations have been made TO Great
Britain by the State Department. 1t is
realized here that IL may be difficult to
bring about any alienation OF the con.
stsntly tightening restrictions imposed
by the British authorities.
Officials point out that the right TO
coal at foreign ports is based almost
entirely on international comfy, and
that treaty pledges IN the present in
stance do not make the case entirely
clear.
Great Britain's inability 70 guarantee
bunker coal to any vessel not utilizing
it ain such a way that British or Allied
interested are benefited was an
nounced to-day in a statement by
the British Embassy in the form Of
memorandum drawn up in London.
The announcement is the first public
expression, officials say, of policy
which has In fact been in operation
for some time, and which brought
forth protests by this country IN sew
eral cases. Coal has been refused
many American ships, it is declared,
and they have been held up for from
three days to week, with resulting
heavy loss 20 their owners.
The general effect of this policy,
officials believe, will be TO embarrass
seriously all Independent American
trade with non-Allied countries. Trade
between this country and the Philip
pines, for instance, can be conducted
only under the greatest difficulties, as
Great Britain owns most Of the coal
ing stations along the way. Trade to
South America is expected to be Grip
pied in the same manner.
The German submarine campaigns
are believed here TO be largely re-
sponsible for the new ruling, their in
roads on world shipping influencing the
Allies TO conserve their vessels and
fuel.
officials expect Great Britain TO
defend the new restrictions. as she
defended the blacklist, on the ground
that IL is purely internal legislation.

California; Clifford Pnchot, Raymond

Permanent progressive advance
through the Democratic party is i'm

"The result Of the election has shown
that the only hope Of victory for any
political party in America lies in secur-
ing and retaining support Of the pro
eressive voters" the statement says.
in spite Of certain progressive achieve
ments, the merits Of which we do not
question, it is clear TO us that per
manent progressive advance through
the Democratic party is impossible.
Progressive Principles Necessary
1--WE welcome the enactment Of pro-
cressive measures by any party. but we
are firm in the conviction that IN the
existing two-party system. constructive
progressivism may best be achieved
through the Republican party But to
gain either Of these ends, the Republican
party must be thoroughly progressv-
lied In organization, leadership and
principles.

The five youngsters, present through

summed up the case for the defence

SANTA FE ADDS
TO PAY OF 10000
Road Admits Own Pros
perity and High Cost
of Living

The Atchlson, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway Company directors announced
yesterday an increase Of 10 per cent in
the wages Of all Of its 10000 employees
save those drawing more than $500
year. This is an Offset to the increased
cost Of living. 1t will add S2,75OO 900 to
the payroll.
Z. P. Ripley, president Of tho road,
in a statement said, in part:
an the last two years, especially
since the influence Of the European
war has been fully felt, our railway
aystem has enjoyed what appears TO
be an abnormal prosperity. The same
factors which have produced this pros
perity have made substantial increases,
which it is hoped will be temporary,
in the cost of living.
"The payments OF the amounts
authorized will be made as soon as the
necessary computation: can be com
pleted. 1t is estimated that the amount
will be approximately $2,75O,OOO."
Opposed Wilson's Plan
The action of the Atchison board is
especially interesting IN view OF Mr..
Ripley's bitter opposition to the de-
mand made by the railway trainmen
last summer for an elght-hour day. He
stood for arbitration and criticised the
stand taken by President Wilson. Fol-
lowing the enactment of the Adamson
law Mr.. Ripley said:
Congress, hastily acting under
threat of four leaders of labor organ
izations, enacted so-called eight-hour
law, which is nothing more or less than
an advance of 20 to 25 per cent on the
wages Of the best paid men in railway
service. 1t is only fair to the public
and to our employees to say that the
Atchison, Topeka e. Santa Fe Railway
Company does not intend TO comply
with the law until compelled to do so
by the court of last resort"
Walker D. Hines, chairman OF the
board of the Atchison, in a statement
issued before the enactment of the Ad
amson law, estimated that the eight
hour day would increase the payrolls
of the railroads of the country $780,
100000 a year.
