COOPERATIVE ACTION
TO PRESERVE INDUSTRY
proposed to Give Federal Trade Com
mission to Regulate Industry For
Benefit OF All,

Washington. Jan. 14.-Combina-
ton rather than competition in the
control of natural resources was
recommended tonight by the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United
States
referendum vote of tho Chambers
OF Commerce making up the United
states Chamber, decided to recom-
mend legislation to permit co-opera-
tive agreement under Federal SUPER
vision in industries which involve
primary natural resources on con-
dition that the agreements in fact
tend to conserve the resources. to
lessen accidents and to promote the
public interest.
The plan as advocated by tho
Chamber of Commerce would have
additional power given the Federal
Trade Commission to enable the conf
mission to formulate constructive
plans for combination under which
an industry raay operate to the COM
mon benefit Of consumers. workmen
and producers. The recommended
tons are confined to timber, ores and
deposits OF useful metals, and de-
posts of minerals which are a source
or heat, light and power
'tNtnt HaSte ana LOSS
Ihe proposed legislation would
give due attention to the prevention
or material waste and to property
loss. According to statistics gathered
by the chamber only about IS per
cent OF the total volume OF lumber as
It stands in the forest now reaches
the ultimate consumer, most of the
remaining 50 per cent being wasted.
II is also stated that 40 per cent OF
the coal in the seam is lost. that mill
lions of barrels OF oil are wasted and
conditions equally as bad exist in
natural gas and other natural re-
sources
The recommendation as urged by
the Chamber of Commerce Ices not
propose that any legislation enacted
shall conflict with State legislation
and does not suggest what form the
remedial agreements among indi-
vidual operators in the industries
shall take, and the Organizations AZ
filiated with the chamber votes i,o34

CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS
BUILT RAILWAY LINE
Veterans to Reunion At Washington
VIII Ride Over Noted TEN
ncsscc Curve"

Washington. d, c.. Jan, 14-Con-
federate veterans who travel to
Washington over the Southern Rail-
way to attend the annual reunion
May 2S-June 2, 1911, will ride over
one stretch, forty-eight miles in
length. which was built by Confeder-
ate soldiers and has remained as per
haps the most permanent monument
of any work done by the Conteder-
acy. This Is the line between Green's
boro, n. c., and Danville. Va, now a
part of the Southern's Atlanta Wash
ington line.
When the war began there was no
railroad connecting the Richmond
and Danville with the North Carolina
system of railroads. The tonfeder-
ate authorities saw the strategic value
of such a line and were able To bring
to hear sufficient pressure to over
come the obstacles which had pre-
viously stood in the way Of its con-
struetion. owing to the rivalry Of
North Carolina and Virginia. each
State seeking to protect it's own rail-.
way interests The necessary rail- WAS
procured by tearing up other roads
and when at the close Of the war
the line was confiscated by the United
States as one of the assets of the
Confederacy. there WAS prolonged liti-
cation before the Richmond and Dan
VILE secured undisputed title.
The origin OF this line is remem-
bered In many local traditions and
names. among them tennessee
Curve said 10 have been so called
because the grading at this point was
done by men Of a Tennessee regi-
ment
Since the Southern hallway under
took its extensive improvement pro-
gram, this entire line has been double
tracked. but very few changes were
found necessary in the location as de-
tsrmtned by the war; time engineers.

burn tresses that adorn her head, and

plot Of the piece Does she really do

her about it. as she insists, such an
essential bit of business would not

not" Not only are the curious in

about the flower. but they are also
told that If they only watch closely
enough, providing their eyesight is
not impaired. that the hair can be
seen leaving her. head and in her
finger as she knots it about the stem.
To one skeptic she has even gone
as far as to say that for many weeks,
at the beginning of the New York
run of the play, she had always select

before going ON the stage, bu later
stopped doing this fearing that the
action was too studied and conse-

Tho possibility of renewal of the
submarine controversy be tween the
United States and Germany. and of
revival of the disagreement over the
question Of armed merchantmen may
likewise delay peace negotiations so
far as Germany is concerned. Both of
these questions are still at issue be-

they are Dramatically unsettled the
administration feels that they may
possibly become acute at any time
and cause serious Embarrassment to
