Chilean Government
To Sell Nitrate Lands

Jose A. del Campo, commercial dele
gate of the Chilean government, in an
address before the National Association
of Manufacturers last night at the Wal
dorf-Astoria called attention to the OPP
portunities his country offered Tor
American investors and manufacturers
TO participate both in the promotion OF
new enterprises and the development OF
natural resources. Although it's chief
source Of wealth lies in great natural
deposits Of nitrate of soda, Chile, Senior
del Campo stated, is blessed with a
wide variety Of other minerals. As the
United States consumes enormous
quantities of nitrate, not only in agri-
culture, but in large number Of its in
dustries. the speaker held that Ameri'
cans should naturally become inter-
ested financially in its production.
The quantity of nitrate already sur
Veyed in that country reaches the
astonishing amount of sal 100000 tons.
"If, the worlds annual consumption
IS estimated at 100000 tons a year,
those mighty deposits" said Senior del
Campo, "will cover the demand for 300
years"
The Chilean government, he added,
has announced the sale of several par
cells of nitrate lands 10 be opened on
April I6 next, and the constitution Of
Chile grants foreigners the same rights
20 acquire these parcels as Chilean citi.
zens.

Contractor Says
Subway Plan Is
For Public Good
Explains Why P. S. C.
Should Take Over De-
layed Construction

FL. MscIsaac. president of the Gen.
eral Contractors Association, corrected
Yesterday an impression which he
feared had been conveyed by the May
or's announcement of Wednesday con-
corning the taking over of subway con-
tracts by the Public Service Commits
sion. IL was true, Mr.. Maclsaac said IN
his statement, that contractors had sp-
piled TO the Public Service Commission
for relief but il was in the interest OF
the public that such applications had
been made.
Circumstances were such. Mr.. Mac
Isaac declared, that unless some such
plan as proposed by the contractors
were adopted the city would find It's
new subways indefinitely delayed. what
should be done at once, in his opinion,
was to rush work on the Seventh Ave-
nue. and Lexington Avenue lines, so as
TO complete the III" which he consld-
ers vital to New York's needs.
No contractor. he says, has any idea
Of giving up because Of the abnormal
difficulties surrounding the task, but
every one of them realizes that there
is the gravest danger of a complete tie
up soon after war is declared.
The government has made arrange
ments with the contractors to get the
labor necessary for the defence OF New
York, and the contractors intend to let
everything else 20 by the board when
that call comes. The scarcity of men,
Mr.. MacIsaacs says, is at the bottom
Of the subway delay. There has been
wholesale emigration since the call TO
the colors, he points out, while imml-
grafton virtually has ceased.
Delay in getting steel necessary for
construction work is also attributed 10
the war and the rush of munition or
ders.
All that, Mr.. McIsaac explains in
his statement. is simply a statement
of facts, not bid for sympathy. IL
was placed before the Public Service
Commission. not as a complaint or to
intimate that contractors intended 10
shirk THEN responsibilities. but to en-
phasize the necessity Of concentrating
every effort on the vital parts OF the
new subway systems.
1.-THE city would not lose anything by
this. for whatever the cost it would be
more than Offset by the saving in in
terest charges on an investment OF
more than $3.50, ,000," he concluded.

Pittsburgh. March CIV. W After
bury, of Philadelphia, president of the
American Railway Association. pre-
dicted in an address before a thousand
or more members OF the Traffic Club
of Pittsburgh, at their annual banquet
tonight, that "the public, through
their representatives, will tie the labor
unions hand and foot in as radical n
manner as the railroads find them
selves tied to-day
Mr.. Atterbufy said, in part:
"The sins of our railroad ancestors
have been visited, justly or unjustly,
upon their children's children, and
notwithstanding that those of US of
the fourth generation have been hon
estlv endeavoring to give the public
good service. public distrust, the result
of the sins Of our forefathers. is the
basis of the irrational regulation
which is one Of the main contributing
causes to the unfortunate condition IN
which the railroads now find them
selves.
commissioners and other public Of
fcials must be measurably responsive
to public sentiment. The difficulty OF
regulation is that popular opinion, TO
which that regulation is responsive,
has been largely shaped by sensational
events which have aroused Indignation
or Misunderstanding and given rise to
a popular feeling that punishment for
past misdeeds should be the tunda-
mental purpose of railroad regulation.
"If the railroads suffer the public
suffers. If railroad service is i'm
proved the public will benefit. The
public. therefore, should be made to
understand the fact and theory OF rail-
road management and the effect OF
regulation. | have complete faith that

will take steps to correct the trouble.

fee. The railroad arrangements have

present policy Of damning first the

gress. and finally the Supreme Court,
the most sacred institution OF our
democratic government, and ] am salts
fed the public, through their represen,,
tatives, will tie the labor unions, hand
and foot, in as radical manner as the
railroads find themselves tied to-day.
Mr.. Atterbury, in explaining the APP
plication of the railroads to the Inter
state Commerce Commission for IN
creased rates, said:
"This step is being taken in order to
give the railroads the revenue neces-
sary to enable them to resume their
normal rate of growth and to put them
in a position TO serve adequately not

mediately important, the military re-
ouirements of the country as we'll"

pension. The increases are from 10
10 cents a ton on bituminous coal ana
from 10 to 65 cents on coke.
In the case Of these rates, shippers as
we'll as railroad interests already have
been heard. Applications for the spe-
eidc increases were filed in advance OF
the petition of Eastern roads looking
10 a general advance in freight rates.
Applications for increased rates on
ore. the only other commodity excepted

cent desired, now are pending. The
increased coal rates apply from West
Virginia and Pennsylvania fields to
