EDITORIAL

Yesterday the Evening STAR with brave display of full
page of cartoons directed the fact that has been
waging battle for the government clerks welfare for
half century"
The Star be commended for any interest has shown
for the United States employees covering long period
of time Its endeavor however but the duplication of similar
efforts of least of the other three Washington newspapers
which fail to date back for period lover half century simply
because of the fact that the history of their is of lesser
length.
For lover half century the newspapers of Washington have
from time time given literally of their space the United States
government employees and their needs
But it remained for The Washington HERALD to realize the
psychology Of the moment to gather around those citizens of the
District United States employees, labor leaders and all
others interested fair play and November TO- 1916 naugurate

results has aonded the ardent supporters of the
movement
Several days later the Evening Star favored the movement with
commendabe editorial and appropriate cartoon and
there appeared the day leading editorial in another
Washington paper along the line
From the first day until the end of the campaign The Wash

Gently all of the Washington newspapers indicate that The Wash

Evening Star has been fighting for for over half century
But The Washington HERALD has no desire to mar by any
attempt at gorysrabbng worthy the endeavor
obtain for the United States government clerks compensation in
proportion the Importance of the work they d. based upon
present-day salary Standards
Again, say the moment psychological and the only
credit The Washington HERALD takes itself that was the
paper Washington appreciate this fact and utilize by
bringing the attention of very busy but responsive Congress
of prosperous country the fact that time when the
largest the United States should recognize an 1854
salary basis to be absolutely obsolete.

BROKER SMALL BEGINS

Court Denies Motion to Dismiss Muir
der Case.
(By the international News Servic


Ossipee, N. H, Jan. 5.-Frederick L.
Small today began his real fight for life.
The State, after recalling several wit
nesses and playing its final cards, rested
Attorney William s. Mathews, for the
defense, moved that the case against the
Boston broker accused of numbering his
wife be dismissed for lack of evidence.
Judge Kivel denied the motion.
The seven-hour hiatus between the time
that Small left the Mountain View cot
tage until IT was discovered in flames was
the main point In the Mathews arEu-
ment. He claimed that this gap had not
been bridged by the State and that there
was no evidence to connect the accused
with the gruesome murder.
Attorney Stevens declared the defense
would show that Mrs. Small was not
murdered until night and that Small was
considered by many reputable people as
a good husband and deeply in love with
his wife.

PREFERENCE GIVEN
TO FOOD SUPPLIES

Washington, Feb. 23.-To relieve
the freight congestion at Chicago,
rules requiring boXcars to be kept
on their home lines have been relaxed
and New York Central equipment is
to be used with the preference given
to food supplies. This was announced
to-day at the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The following announcement was
issued by the commissions
"A wire received this morning from
p. E. Crowley, vice-president of the
New York Central railroad, states that
within the "a hours ending at mid
night, the twenty-tirst, that that COM
pany had moved from Buffalo for the
west, $50 empty boXcars and that
yesterday they had moved 395. 1t
further states that it proposes to use
New York Central boXcars to relieve
the situation at Chicago, giving pref
erence to food supplies"
The New York Centrars action to
relieve Chicago with it's own boXcars
Is interpreted as virtual suspension,
due to the emergency at Chicago, of
rules recently promulgated by the
American Railways Association and
now in effect which prohibit the use of
the empty cars off their own lines and
requires the railroads to dispatch for
eign empty cars to home lines in train
load lots.

Show Grain Deliveries
Regulated to Meet Export

New York, Feb. 23.-The American
Railway Association to-day sent to
Washington statistics prepared to
prove that the deliveries of grain at
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltimore since the beginning \of the
Gersman submarine blockade have
been regulated to meet the reduced ex-
port facilities at those ports. These
figures show that from February 1 to
February IA only 100000 bushels
were delivered to vessels at the four
ports, compared with a delivery of 29,-
100000 bushels throughout January
and 5S,000,000 throughout December.
The association maintains that the
railroads have succeeded in regulat-
ing the movements of all export freight
to the seaboard so that accumulation
has decreased somewhat notwithstand-
ing the decrease in exports.
