HIGHER RAILROAD EFFICIENCY.
Largest Gross and Net Earnings in
History of Nation.

The average freight rate per ton
per mile received by the railroads of
the United States in 1916 was TIC
mills, the lowest on record.
This fact has been officially con-
firmed by the abstract of statistics for
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1916,
just issued by the interstate commerce
commission.
The decrease in 1916 is probably
attributable mainly to the increase in
the proportion of low-rated commo-
dities during the year, principally of
coal and other products of mines. The
commissions report also shows that
the average operating expenses per
train-mile increased from SLIT in
1915 to 81 .83 in 1916.
The fact that the railroads were
able to show the largest gross and net
earnings in their history in the face
of such an increase in operating costs,
while receiving lower average rate
than ever before, is attributed to a
remarkable increase in efficiency of
operation.
Increase in employees wages does
not appear to have pauperized the rail
roads to any noticeable extent in view
of the facts here presented.

her citizens so justly merit, and that
she may best serve the nation and our
people in this grave hour, it is neces-
sary that her resources be so mar
shaled and organized as to be most
effective. The manufacturing inter-
ests of this state are among those of
vital Importance. To become effective
organization and cooperation are i'm
perative and justify the calling to-
gether in convention the manufactur-
ers of this commonwealth.
A committee of representative citi-
zens of the state, under appointment
of your governor, recently visited
Washington, d. c., in the interest of
Colorado. That committee, in cooper
alton with the special representative
of the Denver Manufacturers associa-
tion, did effective work, especially in
presenting the vast resources of our
state. This preliminary work must be
pursued vigorously and persistently to
bring desired results. This can be at
tained only by earnest concerted action
among our citizens.
Therefore, l, julius C. Gunter, gov
ernor of Colorado, do hereby request
the various manufacturing enterprises
of this state to send representative
to a conference to be held in Denver
in the house of representatives at 2:3O
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Septem-
ber 18, for the purpose of effecting
such organization among our manu-
facturers, discussing the questions
which concern them and our people
and bringing about the cooperation
which national and state conditions de-
mand.
Respectfully,
JULIUS c. GUNTER, Governor.

COLORADO Is MARSHALING FORCES
TO DO ITS SHARE IN ADVANCING WAR
Call Meeting of
Tuesday, September IS; Order for $2,ooo,ooo
Supplies Announced; Aviation and Recupera-
tionC Camps Now in Prospect

President w. J. H. Doran of the
Denver Manufacturers association has
inaugurated a movement for a state
organization in order to take advan-
tage of opportunities presented by the
large demand for war supplies, con-
tracts for which are being let daily by
the United States government. United
action of the manufacturing concerns
of the state is expected to help bring
contracts to Colorado.
During the past week announce
ment was made that the Denver Ord
nance company, a combination of sew
eral contract machine shops, had re-
ceived an order amounting in the ag-
gregate to 100000. Colorado's
claims were recently presented to the
federal departments at Washington by
a special commission appointed by the
governor.
Colorado will undoubtedly get one,
perhaps two, of the new aviation
training camps to be established. The
campaign inaugurated by the govern
or's commission to have established in
Colorado a great army recuperation
camp, is progressing under direction
of committee of the Denver Civic
and Commercial association. This
committee consists of W. G. Evans,
Cass Harrington and J. H. Mitchell.
Governor Gunter has issued a proc
lamation calling for a meeting of
state manufacturers to be held in
Denver Tuesday, September IS, as

NEW YORK FEDERATION is FOR
DEMOCRACY AT HOME.
Governor Whitman, Samuel Gompers
and John Mitchell Speak for Main
tenance of Protective Laws.
Especial Correspondence.)

JAMESTOWN, N. Y, September II.
.-Tumultuous applause greeted the
declaration of several speakers at the
annual convention of the New York
State Federation of Labor that pro-
tective standards for labor must be
maintained during war time as
prime essential of national effective
ness, and that democracy must be safe
guarded in the United States.
"If we are to gain our real measure
of eficiency,2said Governor Whitman,
"we must not permit our people who
are engaged in industrial pursuits to
become apprehensive that the stand
ards erected for their protection will
be set aside"
Samuel Gompers asserted that he
had been lifelong pacifist but is sup
/ porting the government in this war
because "the gauntlet had been thrown
down to democracy" and unless the
challenge was accepted, autocracy
of the whole world. During the
war" he said, 81 propose to see to it
as best l can that the standards of
the American workers do not deteri-
crate"
eve are in this war, and as red
| blooded Americans we are in it to
win" said John B. Andrews, secretary
of the American Association for Labor
Legislation, speaking upon invitation
of the Federation, "but it would be a
costly mistake to break down any of
the hard-won protection for labor.
| While fighting to make the world safe
for democracy we must not sacrifice
democracy here at home"
John Mitchell, chairman of the New
York state Industrial commission, an
nounced the determination of the COM
mission to uphold protective labor
laws in war as well as in peace. "Na-
tional strength depends upon the fit
ness of our industrial army" he said,
quite as much as upon the fighting
/ forces"
Recent victories were reported in
many states in saving labor laws
against attempts to suspend them, and
it was announced that this campaign,
temporarily successful, would be con-
tinued vigorously.

COLORADO CROPS ABOVE PAR

Based on 100 per cent as an average,

crops in Colorado this year at 1049.
This is an estimated loss of one-third
per cent in the combined condition of

UP to the present writing America
has dealt very gently with the enemy !;
but this talk about forcing American
citizens to fight in the Kaiser's army
against their own country is likely to
make somebody angry.

traitor. An American interrupted
him. A policeman arrested the Amer
lean, not the Kaiser lover. This hap
pened right here, in the United States.
