SHIPPERS MAKE KICK.
Arguments in Case of Higher Transpor
portation Tariffs Due To-day.

Washington. Nov. l9.--Taking Of tes-
| umony in the hearing of Is per cent ad-
vance freight rates case before the inter
state commerce commission was COM
pleted Saturday with the introduction of
witnesses by shippers in an effort to
show the financial condition of the rail
roads Is not as serious as has been con-
tended and that an increase in freight
rates now is unwarranted.
The principal witness was Clifford
Ihorne, who gave an exhaustive review
OF statistics prepared by the shippers
tending to show that railroad securities
had not declined as much as some others
and that earnings of the 80 eastern roads
interested already had exceeded by $780,
100000 since Jan. | the estimates the
railroads gave of their earnings for 1917,
when the case was heard earlier in the
year.
Representatives of southwestern cattle
interests testified that an increase in
rates even in eastern territory only
would work a hardship on the industry
which, they said. had been abnormally
bad for the raisers for two years. Ed.
G. Lassiter, who raises cattle on a large
scale in Texas, stated that the cattlemen
who shipped to the middle western mar.
kets would be affected by the rates in the
East because the packers w6uld consider
the increased transportation cost in pur-
chasing
Sam Cowan, representing the National
Livestock Shippers Protective associa-
ton, read kilograms from cattlemen say
ing their situation was serious because
of the drouth and high cost of feed One
from Ike T. Pryor, president of the
American Cattle Raisers' association,
stated that the supply of calves this
year would be 40 per cent below normal
Benjamin C. Marsh of the committee
on the high cost of living filed brief
attacking the proposed increase and sug
costing 1--WE have meatless days and
would it not be appropriate to have some
dividendless days?" Arguments win be
heard to-day.

CHANGES
MEETING TIME
Federation's Annual Con-
vention Hereafter Will
Be Held in June
TAKEN AS A
POLITICAL MOVE
Gompers Explains That Only
Partisan Politics"
Is Barred

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. lo.-The American
Federation of Labor, by an overwhelming
vote Saturday, adopted resolution to
abandon its practice of meeting in No
vember and to call further national con-
ventions in the second week of June. In
the debate a suggestion of political sig.
nifcance in the change was brought out.
President Gompers said after the vote
had been taken that there was nothing
in the constitution to prevent discussion
of non partisan politics. Any subject
of nation wide Importance relating es-
pecially to the welfare of the workers
of the country he considered proper
matter for consideration.
A committee was named to report on
the alleged shortage Of labor in some
parts of the country. This cry of short
age, the resolution said, was raised in
some instances because of a desire OF EN-
ployers to substitute female for male and
unskilled for skilled labor.
AT the close of the morning session the
convention adjourned until Monday.

DRASTIC RULES
FOR ALIENS
President Approves Regula.
tions to Stop Interior
ence with War Work
SOLDIERS TO
GUARD ZONES
New Rules May Even In.
clude the Women Aliens
Throughout Country

Washington, Nov. l9--President vii
son Saturday approved the new regula
tions governing the treatment of enem,
aliens in the United States. While thu
president has indorsed the regulations il
their unfinished form, they are complete
enough to permit The Times to give
some OF their essential features, as fol
lows:
Docks and piers throughout the coun
try, Mt which vessels of 500 tons or ovei
berth, will be made a military zone
guarded by soldiers.
Sections of the water front in New
York and Brooklyn will be made mill.
tary zones Soldiers will be on constant
guard in New York City from Forty
Third street on the North river, around
the Battery and to Twenty street
on the East river. The entire front of
Brooklyn and practically the entire New
Jersey and Staten island water fronts
will be proclaimed military zones.
Regular army soldiers will guard these
zones, which will extend several blocks
from the wharves.
The District of Columbia will be made
a military zone. The present regula-
lions provide that no Germans shall be
permitted to enter the District, and
those now living in it will be forced to
leave.
There viii be registration of enemy
aliens throughout the country, which
may include women. Those who are reg
istered will be compelled to follow the
German system of reporting at regular
intervals to the police of the precinct in
which they live.
Munition plants, government arsenais
and all Industries, the output of which Is
largely for the government, are to have
zones thrown around them and
the protection of military guard.
All permits issued to Germans at the
outbreak of the war to live within re-
stricted districts will be revoked and
these Germans must be registered under
the new regulations and furnish photo
graphs of themselves to the government.
Each registration card will also contain
a photograph of the holder.
The foregoing comprehend the major
features of the regulations. While there
are many details in the rules themselves,
those referred to are the chief restric-
tons, the enforcement OF which by Unit
ed States soldiers is expected to put a
stop to pro.German efforts TO cripple war
progress.

action viii not delay the task of army
building. No credit is given for such en-
listment on army quotas, however, and
local boards are judges of each case.
Provision for voluntary enlistment in
the army is made by means OF volun'
tary waiver classification and the auto
matte advancement of the registrant to
class and his induction at once into
the military service. Where the regis
trant has dependents his waiver must be
accompanied. however, by waivers from
those dependent on him, if not minors, or
by afiidavits showing that minor depend
ents will be adequately provided for, if
there are minor dependents.

Washington, Nov. lo-The only advices
on the Russian situation reaching the
state department Saturday came from
Stockholm, and were a resume OF gossip
in the newspapers there. They made no
mention of the defeat of the Kerensky
forces recorded in Petrograd news dis

The most interesting thing in the dis
patches was the statement that when

banks in Petrograd promptly closed.

latively few years football has changed

sportsman's test Football is parlor

played in the Dos" SAYS the Panther
coaehf Warner says that the reason
for this is the change in coaching policy
and the improvement among officials. In
spite of the changes and the improve.
ment, the Pitt coach points out that foot
ball IL still our toughest game, not ex-
cepting boxing and wrestling, but the re.
deeming thing about rough play to-day
on the gridiron is that it reacts to the
disadvantage of the team practicing IT,

plished something it has been unable to

the weakest and Dartmouth one OF the
strongest Of the season. Tufts bumped
Dartmouth hard. Pennsylvania got away

GERMAN ARMY SAID
TO BE DETERIOR4TING

/ oI MOVING DaIIdBe WHICH
| Means Certain Death to

Behind.
| Liverpool, Nov. Correspondent of
! the Associated Press Evidence that the
German commanders are well aware that
| the German army is deteriorating and
that they have to try to keep it togeth-
er by terrifying their troops is given in
a letter written by an officer of Liver
pool regiment to one of the local news
papers Expressing the opinion that the
collapse of the Germans will come soon,'
he added:
"The best cure for pessimism would
be few days in the front line trenches.
There are no pessimists here except
among the German prisoners.
'Ihe last time our battalion was in
action we took quite number of pris-
oners, and they were a dismal lot. One
on.commissioned officer with whom /
spoke told me that large numbers of the
Germans simply will not face our fire,
but refuse to attack His own company
had been under fire for nearly five days,
and at last they had signed round
robin to the company commander to say
that they could not stay any longer Two
of the ringleaders were arrested with
the idea Of making an example of them,
but their comrades demanded their re-
lease with such energy that the officers
had to give way. Later on the men re-
peated their demand to be taken out of
the front line. The officers ordered them
back to duty, but the men refused. The
officers threatened the soldiers. who re-
piled by killing all but four of the Off
GERS and marching over to the British
lines to surrender.
when this particular battalion was
moved up against the British, the men
had to be bullied into fighting by being
sent into action in front Of moving bar,
rage, which meant certain death to all
who Jagged behind.
"On another occasion recently. our
Liverpool regiment had a fierce fight
which ended up with strange expert |
ence. We had heavily engaged and driv-
en- oil IN panic some Germans who had
been holding strong position Moving
on to the next objective, another party
OF the enemy appeared, We felt certain

When the German command found
OUT what had happened, they sent for
