RAILROAD MEN ARE GIVING STUDY ID
 PROBLEM OF RATES Find Chief Trouble Is Con- flict Caused by Different
 State Laws CONGRESS SHOWING
 WILLINGNESS TO AID Business Is Seriously Congested and
 Impaired Because Roads Can. not Get Fresh Capital for Improvements
Rx HOII.ANn


 New York; May 30-(Special.)-Fo g little over year, the advisory commit. tee of the railway executives of tn, United States studied and discussed the problem whose answer, if it be obtained will make possible satisfactory and ulti- mately perfected regulation of the rail. roads of the country While this com. mittee of which Frank Trumbull i, chairman, was thus employed other or ganizations of the United States were also giving careful heed to the subject In this they were undoubtedly assisted by the Railway Business association, which represents substantially all of the in- Gustries of the United States whose com modltes are marketed with the railroad companies, although the association itself is not in any way affiliated with the rail- roads,
 At least three years ago these busi- ness men and manufacturers, the market for whose commodities is furnished by the railroad companies, were persuaded that unless something were done by Con- gress the time is not distant when gen. eral business throughout the United states will be seriously congested and impaired because of the inability of the railroads to secure fresh capital with which to make improvements to expand thelr systems or to construct new lines
 lnqulry among those who are in touch with the men of large means disclosed that capital would not invest in new railroad securities until the dangers and embarrassments occasioned by the rail. road regulations of 4S states and the fed eral government were so changed as to put the exclusive power of regula tion in the hands of one central authority, that being the federal government.
 Beginning with this basis, the Railway

 By crickety, we were some pumpkins I tell you, at the old game. We didn't know anything about your modern ba seball games, nor football games, nor polo, nor hockey, nor golf nor motor
 boat racing, nor motorcar racing, nor horse racing. No, we didn't care anything about
 knowing, l. /. bet you As long as Susie
 Green was my partner and we beat the other side we didn't care whether school kept or not
 All we knew was that the game was exciting to us, and the birds sang for sheer joy in the magnolias and the roses nodded from the old front porch. The long. long days of youth were ours and no business cares infested our world of dreams.
 The old croquet game! It would seem pretty tame to you of this fast age and you would chuck1e and make fun of our enthusiasm, but we were happy, for we didn't know any better +

standards of chaperonage, even the peon families greatly prefer that the daughters are in their own homes at night. Fully two-thirds of the Mexican maids live at home. A very common arrangement is work frCSn a. m. to noon week days, 8 to II a. m. Sundays, the usual wage $2.50; or the maid may remain till D. m. and receive $3 a week, with one or two meals at the home of the employer.

I attribute this to the system.' '

While the great bulk of business has already been placed by the retailers, the. effect of the bleaching powder

Mexican Girls as Servants

In the June Woman's Home Compan- ion writer says:
 Miss Tarbel1's article in the Febru- ary Companion on The Household Boycott is especially interesting to New Mexico readers, because the plan she suggests, l. e., workers to live at home and to work certain definite hours, with extra pay for extra time, is the custom in this part of the country. Our maids are almost the the children of the original Mexican settlers of this section. Owing to the Latin-American
