Need men to man the plow.

In making rates national instead of
local the railway administration
would eliminate competition between
the states. The power of the various
state commissions to fix rates carries
with it authority to under bid a

SEEN AS OPPONENTS
OF NEW RAILROAD PLAN.
States Railway Utilities Commits
sions to Send Representatives
Here, It Is Understood.


Strong opposition to the plan OF
Director General N1cAdoo to extend
government control of the railways
until January l. 1924, is expected from
the states railway and utility COM
missions. 1t is understood that rep
resentatives of these bodies will
shortly come to Washington and urge
Congress to refuse assent to the pro-
posal unless it includes a return of
their suspended powers.
Mr.. McAdoo is known to be opposed
to sharing the administration of the
railways with state organizations. He
has never given any encouragement to
the view that intrastate rates should
be fixed by commissions created by
the several commemorative. He be-
lieyes that commerce is rational, not
local. and that if there is any rate
fixing to be done It should be done
in the interests of the whole people.

Sixth Contest of Kind.

The contest among the postmen
covered u period of ten days and was
the sixth event of it's kind held during
the year. 1t was spirited affair
Rivalry and real enthusiasm existed
throughout. Cash prizes. donated by
Berberich's Sons. totaling $1,000 were
at stake. This money will be divided
among the thirty-four men Nmaking
the highest sales in the three Sections
into which they were grouped for the
purpose of fair competition. The
awards will probably be made next
Wednesday.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
conditions for sales at this time in
view of the approaching holiday sea-
son and the fact that the contestants
were handicapped in their work
through the handling of the heaviest
mails of the year, this high total was
piled up through the determined eff
forts of the contestants.
That all employers whose custom it
is to give Christmas remembrances TO
their employees annually let such
bonuses take the form of war savings
or thrift stamps this year is the, sug-
geStiou emanating from the District

This is considered gratifying by
those who were in charge of the con-
test. Whether this amount is suffi-
cient to assure realization of the war
savings stamp quota of the District
of Columbia for the year-approxi-
mately $500, oo0--cannot yet be de-
termined. On December 1 this city

Mr. McAdoo's Policy.

The director general refused to
make public statement on this phase
OF the railroad controversy. But the
policy of the administration under his
direction is to consider the demands
and rights of shippers as a whole and
to eliminate favoritisrn and make i'm
possible discrimination n any form.
One of the first tasks to which the
administration will address itself in
case Congress allows the five-year
test is the virtual retirement of the
rate expert The rate expert is the
man who is able to figure out for a
bewildered shipper the actual cost of:
sending his products from one point
to another over a number? of railways
and perhaps. across lakes or partly by
sea and partly by land.
The schedules are, so complicated.
that it is impossible for the ordinary
business man to tell what he will have.
to pay Hence a school has come into
being out of which an army of rate
experts has evolved. These are high
~ paid officers and every shipper of
any Importance has one or more on
his staff.
But the railway administration plans
I SO simplify the schedules as to make
IL possible at a glance for the ship
per in New York to tell how much
it is going to cost him to send car
load of merchandise to Little Rock,
Ark, or to any other distant point.
