To Extend Railway.

Advices from the City of
Mexico are to the effect that
the federal government has or
dered compliance with the
terms of the commission of the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient
Railway, now in operation be-
tween Topolobampo and Choix
Sinaloa, under which the line
must be extended to Chihuahua
thence to the Rio Grande, at
Ojinaja, opposite Preside, Tex
as. The same company has
lines in Texas, and the lines in
Sinaloa and Chihuahua are but
links in a great railway line
that was projected from Kansas
City to Topolobampo. The fed
eral government of Mexico de-
sires the concession carried out
for construction of the part of
the line that lies within the re-
public.

Taboo For CurbstOne Brokers
With the announcement that
the War Trade Board would
license freely to Mexico many
articles on the Conservation
List, many merchants and bro
kers have made application for
the expectation of foodstuffs
to persons who are not in good
standing with the War Trade
Board.
Special Agent Haley stated
today that many "curbstone
brokers" who have sprung up
overnight with the announce
ment of a letting down of the
bars into Mexico, will not be
recognized by the War Trade
Board.
"It is going to take more
than a business card and the
privilege of using the telegraph
wires to secure a license" said
the local agent of the War
Trade Board. "Only persons in
good standing will be recogniz-
ed and not those who intend
trafficking in War Trade
Board licenses.
Shippers who have been ex-
porting into Mexico are warned
to be extremely cautious as to
consignees. The War Trade
Board has ascertained that
many Chinese firms in Sinaloa
and Sonora have been acting as
cloaks for firms in the Enemy
Trading List and those shipping
to Chinese will be forced in the
future to give guarantees as to
the final recipient of shipments.

Seriously Injured

Sunday morning one Jose
Carbajal an inspector (celador)
in the Mexican custom house,
was dangerously injured by be-
ing caught between the self
coupling drawheads of two
freight cars, and the bones OF
his pelvis were crushed. The
unfortunate man attempted to
cross a sidetrack in front of the
warehouse of the Los Angeles
Tanning Co., on MoreIos st.,
and he failed to perceive that a
switching engine was backing
a string of cars against the car
close to him, to couple the two
cars together. He was caught
by the drawhead of the moving
car and jammed against the
drawhead of the stationary
one. AS quickly as possible he
was released from his frightfui
position, and taken to the NUM-
cipal hospital. He is reported
in a critical condition, and
death is apt to result.

INSIGNIFICANT,
SAYS COMMITTEE
Of Economists Studying the Pur-
chasing Power Of Money
in Wartime.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Wage in
creases of 5, 10 or 20 per cent are
insignificant when compared with in
creased living costs that are ac-
knowledged in the first report of a
committee of economists appointed
by the government to study the pur-
chasing power of money in war time.
On the question of living costs. the
committee says:
1.-THE living cost and the level of
commodity prices in general are now,
as we are all aware, extremely high.
The average wholesale prices in the
United States last month were 81 per
cent above that of July, 1914; that is,
the purchasing power Of money over
goods in the swholesa1e markets has
been almost cut in half.
1.-THE rise in retail prices of foods
in the same period has been 81 per
cent. This means a reduction to less
than twO-thirds in the purchasing
power Of money over foods in the
retail markets. Abroad the rise of
prices has been even greater.
Between 1896 and 1914 wholesale
prices in the United States were ris-
ing at the average rate of only one
fifth of 1 per cent per month; but
even that small rate, long continued
was enough to make the III. c: of L..
very painful fact"
The committee opposes the plan of
citizens borrowing money from banks
to buy liberty loans, as this tends to
increase bank credits and force in
creases in commodity prices.
THE frank ana honest way of saw
ing is by spending less or earning
more" says the committee.
A warning note is sounded on the
results that will follow the "business
as usuar theory, which vii! prevent

HUDDERsFIELD, Eng, Feb. IA.
The agreement regulating war
wages which was recently drawn up
and agreed to by the employers and
operatives in the bleaching, dyeing,
calico printing, and finishing trades
has one or two remarkable features
in it, according to United States Con-
sui Franklin D. Hale. It cancels all
previous war grants and bonuses, and
war wages are now being regulated
in accordance with the increased cost
of living, perhaps the only instance
on record in which advances or de-
creases are to be made over and
above the wages ratal basis, accord
ing to the rise and fall of the cost
of living as estimated by the board
of trade and published in The Labour
Gazette.
How >Rate Is Fixed.
The index figure of food and other
prices will be compared with that Of
July 1, 1914. The scale of war
wages will operate only to the index
figure of IS per cent, in increased cost
of living; when that percentage is
exceeded the parties will be brought
together to reconsider matters. When
the scheme came into operation the
cost of living was estimated at rs
per cent above the index figure of
July 1, 1914, which meant an in
crease of $3.50 per week to men of
is years of age and over; $2.S1 to
women of IS years of age and over:
to males and females from 16 to IS
years of age, $2.25 week; males
| and females under 16 years of age
! $1.97 per week. A list of increases
from l to 95 per cent according to
increased cost of living from 1 to 95
per cent above July, 1919 has been
printed so that each operative can see
