desiring the same ends, that occasion.
ally q disagreement as to method
should exist. IL was with regret that
the Governor disagreed with some OF
the distinguished leaders of his own
party as TO the wisdom of introducing
a so-caled patriotic issue in the recent
municipal campaign. II is not easy to
differ with men with whom one has
had lifelong association, but so hrm--
ly was / convinced that this so-called
Hoherzollern issue was leading away
from the accomplishment Of the great
purpose which is ours that l felt /
could not do otherwise.
"The best proof of the usefulness OF
the Republican party, of its dedication
10 the hoiy cause to which the coun-
try is committed and OF Its proper
understanding Of the greatness Of the
struggle will be in its determined re-
fusal for one single instant or on ary
occasion to wave the flag for any cause
other than the cause OF country"
The Governor said there were no
"copperheads" in the councils OF the
Republican party. lie paid glowing
tribute to the 10000 men who have
gone from this state TO join the Ma
tional Army. He said every citizen
would do we'll to have the courage Of
the humblcst soldier. We should see
to it, he said, that we are worthy to
be the man behind the mSn behind the
gun. as the soldier himself would be
an American "all the way through"

Sufragists

Governor Whitman invaded the en-
emy's lines in Brooklyn last night. HIS
speech before the Kings County Re

triotism than politics, and there was
no attempt on the part Of members oi
the committee to introduce any resoIu-
tions which would show the old fac
tional alignment against the Governor.
II WIS a harmonious meeting from aii
surface indications.
No one attempted, however, to launch
a third term boom for the Governor

Dillon Calls Food
Controllers a Failure

John ]. Dillon. ousted on Monday
from the Office OF State Commissioner
of Foods and Markets, displayed no
signs of regret yesterday over the loss
Of his position. Nr. Dillon, who has
been free IN his criticism Of the way
in which Governor Whitman and his
commissions have handled the food
situation, added a few more caustic
remarks.
Mr.. Dillon, when asked If ne would
run for Governor, said he had no pc
litIcal ambitions. "Rut if the farmers
or the people think that | can do some
thing tor them better than some one
else, and want me TO work for them, |
will do So" he added. But ! won't
20 out and do any politics for them.
81 believe a food platform Will figure
as the main issue IN the next state
election. The farmers are just plainly
disguised with the way the food prob
lem is handled, and the people OF the
cities are more than dsgusted. They
are desperate over high prices and the
incompetence of the food controllers
Mr.. Dillon said he had secured for
the farmers of New York 81 a barrel
more for apples than they had received
formerly. The consumers Of New York
Citv knew for the first time in their
lives when they were buying cold stor-
age eggs. he declared, through law
obtained by him and providing for the
stamping Of cold storage eggs.
He pointed out that for the first
time in forty years the farmers Of the
state had something 10 say about the
nrice of the milk they sold, through his
efforts in creating an organization
that acted as a sales agent Tor me
daiTymen.

Swami Charges Fusion
Fund Was Concealed

District Attorney Swami announced
last night that his investigation of the
Mitchell Fusion campaign fund has
shown that many Of the largest con-
tributors gave in the names OF other
persons. This, he pointed out, covered
nm contributions not only from corpora
tions. but from certain well-known m
dividuals. Asked whether he had evl-
dence to show that the often repeated
assertions Of Judge Hylan before cleo
zion 10 the effect that all the food
profteering monopolists were giving
literally TO the Mayors fund were
true. Mr.. Swami said:
"That is not the object of the IN,
vestigation. We are mainly interested
in finding out what was done with 81
900 600 raised to carry municipal
election. OF course we are interested
In some extent in the source OF many
of the contributions. In many IN
stances some of the biggest contrlbu-
tions were not put down under the
name OF the real contributors. Con
tributions were made by corporations
under the names Of some of their OF
fcials and in some cases individuals
contributed in the names Of others
The prosecutor said he was lnqulrlng
into a dinner given before election at
which subscriptions from multi-mll-
Iionaires were solicited.

Operators Win 8-Hour Day

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.--Dificulties
which threatened a strike OF $500
telcgraphers employed by the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad and a tie-up of
traffic on one of the countrys most
important munitions and coal carrying
roads were settled to-day by the Fed
eral Board of Mediation and Copcilia-
ton under the direction Of Commits
sioner G.. w. w. Hanger.
A basic eight-hour day and increased
pay for overtime work were the most
important concessions to the men.
Questions of pay for all Sunday work
and a general 20 per cent increase in
wages will be arbitrated by board TO
be chosen by both sides.
The settlement is regarded as con-
frming the principle of an eight-hour
day for operators which had been
established through demands made on
Western roads. II has been intimated
that the separate demands on indi-
vidual roads are the result OF the
unions determination to make the
principle effective throughout the
United States and demands on other
transportation lines are expected to
develop as soon as possible.

Trains Are Too Heavy,
Railroads Need Better
Executives, Says Ford

Henry Ford joined the ranks yester-
day Of those who know what ails the
railroads. One trouble with them is,
he said, that they are run by bankers
for the interest of terminal cities, in
stead Of having practical railroad men
as executives. Another ailment is that
the bankers are using s0,000-pound
Pullmans to carry 1000 pounds of pas
sengers.
"These bankers" said Mr.. Ford.
"were busy in their Offices with stocks,
bonds. commissions and syndicate ar
rangements-but who ever saw them 90
to a point of congestion or railroad
trouble to see what was the matter
with their railroad.
"The freight car weighs as much as
the load that it carries. Generally
II travels two-thirds full and comes
back empty.
Passenger trains weigh so to $50
times as much as the passengers IN
them. A Pullman car weighing 10000
to $4,000 pounds averages less than
1000 pounds of passenger load.
"Four-hfths of railroads work to-
day is hau ing the deadweight of its
own wastefully heavy engines and cars.
This is why railroad presidents have
such a hard time TO figure out freight
and passenger rates high enough on
the 20 per cent Of live load TO cover
the cost of hauling this enormous 80
per cent of deadweight around.
Mature has distributed alloy mate
rials which, with heat treatment, make
steel of 10000 or 100000 pounds
tensile strength, instead of $4,000
pounds. and then the weight can be cut
down proportionately Alloy steels Of
high tensile strength cut down the
weight of the truck and the automo-
bile.
"A new -'Service'-must be
adopted by the railroads. Constantly
appealing for l5 per cent increases 70
protect stocks and bonds does not solve
our transportation problem.
High freight rates are barrier 10
standardized industries producing for
wide market
at costs hardly 81 worth Of coal
more 10 run passenger train with its
seats hled than half empty. To get
more revenue the banker mind tries 70
raise rates. The new spirit Of service
reduces the rates and permits great
numbers Of people 70 ride, and thereby
increases it, earnings.
by a wrong rate policy in the past
railroads have helped congest popula-
tion in great terminal cities. This
may pay big dividends, but banking
men and industries in great cities do
not make a healthy nation.
"In many sections we have two roads
where there ought TO be but one. In
other places there is open land without
railroads.
Population should be more evenly
distributed over our land. We must
unity our railroads into a single ma
tional system whose first purpose Is to
give transportation service"

Fail to Intervene in
Minnesota Strike

WASHINGTON. Dec. l1.-Eforts OF
Minnesota labor leaders here to effect
Federal intervention in the proposed
strike of $4,000 men at Minneapolis and
st. Paul Thursday morning. so far have
proved unsuccessful. Neither the War

tonight TO take action. and the CON
ference between the labor men and
Samuel Gompers was without tangible
results. The conference, however, will
be continued tomorrow.
1t was said here that the proposed
walkout, in sympathy with striking
street railway employees. would seri-
ously affect railroad shops working on
equipment for Western roads.

to Quit Thursday

ST. PAUL, Dec. 1l.-M0rtial law will
be declared In Minneapolis and st. Paul
In case the threatened sympathetic
strike Of approximately 10000 union
men in the Twin Cities develops q sit
uation that the county sheriifs are
unable to cope with, according 20 an
nouncement tonight BY Adjutant Cen
eral Walter A. Rhinow.
The announcement followed a discus
sion Of the situation by the State Pub
lie Safety Commission, at which it was
decided that the handling Of the sltua-
ton should be left largely to Governor
Burnquist and Adjutsnt General Rhi-
now.
All union men will be called on 70
quit work at 10 q. m. on Thursday IN
sympathy with the dissatisfied street
car employees. it was announced to-day
by r. G.. Hall, chairman of the execu
tive committee of the unions organic
tion.
Governor Burnquist to-day declined
to accede to request from Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, that the Twin City
street car controversy be reOpened by
the authorization Of John Lind, former
Governor and member Of the Public
Safety Commission, to act for the state
administration in negotiations at Wash
ington.
In reply telegraphed to Mr.. Com
pers, the Governor called attention to
the previous hearing Of the dispute By
the commission and its order which, he
said, allowed the union car men to pre-
serve their organization and would
have removed much cause Of irritation
if the men had carried out its direction
for the Gisuse Of union buttons.
