The Santa Fe railroad here is at
tempting to distribute its cars evenly
among shippers. The situation on that
road is better than was expected ow-
ing to the roads energy in handling
it's rolling stock. The Rock Island
and Union Pacific report similar situa-
lions.
While the immediate shortage is not
threatening on western roads, the one
to come may be the kind that demands
embargoes. Freight officials of the
Santa Fee, Rock Island and Union Pa
cific are optimistic, however.
In the east, however, embargoes are
becoming a reality. Because of grain
accumulation an embargo, effective
August 16, has been placed on export
grain from Baltimore by the Balti-
more & Ohio railway. That company
has 3,100 cars of grain in It's Locust
point terminals and /, 100000 bushels

Topeka Business Men Offer to
Contribute Share.

The state fair management has
been offered two or three blocks of
fine paving inside the fair grounds
and doesn't know what to do with it.
No. it isn't going to turn the offer
down. A place will be found for it,
But right now, Phil Eastman, secre-

without interfering with the crowds.

panies want tc lay paving while the
crowds are at the fair They will not
visitors to see them do the work But
the crowds must have some place to
walk in the meantime. That's the
problem Eastman is trying to solve.
We have a chance to get that
paving and we're going to get it, he
said. Wen do 1t If we have to make
new roads. Everyone has wanted the
drives paved for years and the asso-
citation hasn't been able to do it. A few
blocks each fair. laid by companies
Tor demonstration, would soon cover
the drives most used"
Perhaps the longest stretch will be
laid by the Portland Cement associa-
lion or Chicago, represented by ]. B.
Marcellus. The association will fur
nlsn the cement, manufacturers will
grade the drive and crush the rock
and all the work from the grading to
the surfacing will be done in view of
the crowds attending the fair.
Brick Men To Be There.
Arrangements are being made by
the Western Paving Brick Manufac-
turing association to lay a stretch of
brick paving. Harry Tidd represents
the company as engineer and he will
have charge of the sample road max
ing. He will also have an exhibit of
brick and paving materials on the
ground.
w. S. Gearhart, state engineer, and
II. S. Putney president of the Kaw
Valley Improved Highways associa-
ton, will be in charge of the good
roads exhibit. Aside from the paving
which is a brand new stunt with the
manufacturers, the good roads exhibit
will be one of the big things of the
fair. There is more interest in good
roads in Kansas now than in any pre-
vtous season and the manufacturers of
machinery for road making are taking
advantage of the interest. They will
have on the grounds September II to
6 every kind of machinery used in
this section in the making of good
roads. They will have on exhibition
all the different kinds of materials
used in treating dirt roads to make
them waterproof.
But the one big matchmaking matter
in which the association is particularly
interested is two or three blocks OF
free paving the cement and brick
manufacturers have offered. The
probabilities are that 1t will be laid
somewhere near the main entrance
and connected up with the paving out
side, later.
Half a dozen Topeka business men
have offered to contribute money for
paving the drives in the fair grounds,
said Secretary Eastman. land if we
had several stretches like that to be
laid this fall free of charge. it would
not take much to connect them up and
make a continuous drive through the
grounds"

RESTRICT IRISH TRAVEL
Order in Council Keeps Foreigners
Out of Ireland.

London, Aug. 19.-By an order in
council, the government is empowered
under the defense of the realm act to
prohibit from entering Ireland any
person not a British subject or who,
being a British subject, has since
March, 1916, come or may hereafter
come to the United Kingdom from
parts beyond the seas
Amy such persons embarking for or
found in ireland will be regarded as
guilty of a summary offense, says the
order.
Action of somewhat similar nature
has been taken in regard to Australia,
it became known today. Announce
ment was made that no person more
than Is years old will be permitted to
land in Australia after September 1,
without a passport issued or approved
by British authorities. Persons sail
ing from foreign countries must have
passports vized by a British consul.

CAR SHORTAGE TO BE SERIOUS.
Crisis VIII Come in October and No
yember 1t Is Expected.

While a car shortage is not a new
problem of the west, figures and sta
tistics for the first part of this month
show that a shortage. which possibly
may be the worst in history, is sched-
uled for this fall and winter, with the
crisis in October and November. The
gross car shortage the first of this
month is the largest, the gross surplus
the smallest and the net surplus the
smallest on American railways on that
date that have ever been reported. The
net surplus was only ISIS cars. The
next smallest net surplus was in 1907
when the number of cars was 1886
and the shortage on October 1 of that
wear was $1,000 cars.
Past experience" says the report of

TO STAND ALONE
Hill Will Never Yield an Eight.
Hour Day.
Says 1t Would Mean Receiver
ship for His Road.

st. Paul, Aug. 19.-'If every other
railroad in the country should accept
the 8-hour principle, We would stand
out alone against it, declared Louis
w. Hill, president of the Great North
ern.
But we will not have to stand
alone" he continued, our position is
the position of every other railroad in
the northwest. As a matter of fact
1t is the position of every big railroad
nthe country. The railroads are go
ing to stand solidly against the S-hour
day."
I'VE have never been in the hands
in the country. The railroads are go
ing into receivers hands, you may be
sure of that" added the Great North
ern president, with emphasis.
Mr.. Hill was asked If the adoption
of the 8-hour principle would mean
receiverships for the big railroads.
That is just what 1t would mean It
could mean nothing else. We are in
no position to adopt the 8-hour day. It
would cripple our train service, so
that we could not operate"
Mr.. Hill added that the railroad
men knew how to profit from their
own and the experience of others.
However" he said. IT can give no
eight hour day experience. I wish I
could have an eight hour day for my
self once.

Most emphatically. we do not and we
are not going to have it."
isn't it proposed" Mr.. Hill was
asked, ito review the rate question
and possibly give the roads an IL
crease of freight rates SO that they
can afford to adopt the eight hour
day."
rates. replied Mr.. Hill AT any
rate, we think we know more about
running our railroads than the gov
eminent does. The government, you
know, operates the Panama railroad.
With no severe winter to interfere
with the traffic, with no mountains
to climb or tunnel, the government has
to have four times as high rates as we
get in order to operate that railroad"
Mr.. Hill stated that railroads in sec
lions where there is no new country to
develop might try the Shour day.
stBut in the northwest we certainly
cannot do it," he declared.

here in the northwest. And we mean
facturers are looking for the opening
of new territory They expect the
railroads to open it for them. We
want to do it. But we cannot COM
mand capital for wider expansion I'M
less we can continue to pay dividends.
Railroads in receivers hands do not
pay dividends. And, remember 1 say
that the 8-hour day inevitably means
receiverships."

REMEDY FOR STEEL RAIL FLAWS
New York Central Scientist Lays
Blame ON Manufacturers.


Blame ON Manufacturers.
A. H. Smith, president of the New
York Central, has announced that DIR.
Plimmon H. Dudley, head of that rail-
roads staff of scientists, has discov-
cred the cause and absolute remedy
for hidden flaws in steel rails. Doctor
Dudley has been studying trackage
conditions for forty years.
In 1915 the interstate commerce
commission announced that in the
past fourteen years broken rails
caused 3.345 railroad accidents where
in EOS persons were killed and 7,341
persons were injured besides prop
erty loss of 100000.
Doctor Dudley's report places the
entire blame for interior assures in
steel rails on the manufacturers. To
prevent them from forming in steel,
he says, demands the installation of
bloom heating plants. Steel manufac-
turers and railroad officials will hold a
series of meetings in the next few days
in New York, Pittsburg and Baltimore
to consider the improved methods Of
