of congress such as imposing tax
on gasoline, movng picture films,
graphophone records and automobile
tires. but the first definite step taken
in this direction has been the intro
duction Of a bill in the house repeal
ing the free sugar provision Of the
tariff law which was enacted in 1918.
Since the retention o. tiie sugar duty
is practically assured as the bill has
become party measure through ac-
ton by the democratic caucus, this
simply means that the government re-
tains S5O.OOO,OOO a gear revenue
which il is now enjoying. 1t does not,
however, lead to the solution of the
problem of raising the additional rev.
enue required. New Workers are
watching developments IN congress on
this subject with great interest be-
cause of limitations that they will be

of any amount that may be raised by

ed between representatives Of the diff
ferent orders Of train operatives and
officials Of the railways regarding
the demands Of the labor men for an
advance in wages which the railway
officers assert would cost the roads,
and ultimately the public, nearly
$10C, 100000, some interesting COM
parisons have been brought out. From
this it appears that engineers and
conductors who are the highest paid
Of all train operatives represent the
real aristocracy of the working world.
Whereas the worker in a steel mill
receives only 5000 a year on the av-
erage, the men who drive the loco
motives enjoy a yearly income of
$3.50 on the average, according TO
figures contained in reports to the in
terstate commerce commission, while
many OF them work six hours day
or less To workers IN the leather,
clothing and simalar trades with their
long hours, yealy earnings of $3.50 to
$500 and frequent protracted periods
Of idleness, the lot of the railway
workers must seem to be fairly ideal.
Conductors fare almost as well as the
engineers, earning on the average
$142O year with similar hours. Ev-
en- the trainman who carries the red
flag and calls out the names of sta
tions in unintelligible terms draws
over $1,000 year for this service
Contrasting the yearly earnings of
these workers with the $500 which is
the average yearly stipend of the
country's lawyers, doctors and clergy :
men, the conclusion must be drawn
that the youthful ambition which fix
es the locomotive cab or the red
freight caboose as its ultimate goal
in preference to one of the learned
professions is not altogether mis-
guided.

NEW YORK, May 13.-The am
cunt Of attention which has been at
tracted to the enormous shipments OF
munitions and food stuffs to the

shadowed the growth of American

S145,0OO.OOO. an increase over the
year 1914 of the totaf trade with that
continent of s147.OOO.OOO. Another
interesting feature in the development
Of foreign trade is the fact that dyes
and dyestuffs are being received from
new quarters Of the world, owing to
the embargo which England has plac-
ed on exports Of dyes from Germany.
During recent months large importa-
tions Of dyes and dyestuffs have been
