 BUTTERFLIES WAR
Philadelphia Ledger)

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Dec. 25 Butterfly catching has been convert ed from schoolboy's amusement into a serious business at Soligen and Dus- seldorf, in western Germany. The com munal authorities offered a reward of one pfennig apiece for every butterfly of the harmful varieties caught, with the result that the schoolchildren have already handed in fifty thousand at Soligen and one hundred and fifty thousand at Dusseldorf. The method was adopted to combat the consequent caterpillar plague.

Proposed Increase in Rate
for Coney Outrageous"
Judge Ransom Says
Plans Court Contest
Will Recommend Order by
Commission Fixing Price
To Be Charged

The Brooklyn Borough Gas Company
will not succeed in its announced in
tention of putting a gas rate of sl25
per thousand cubic feet in effect in the
Coney Island district and parts of
F1atbush without stiff contest in the
courts, according to an announcement
by Chief Counsel William L. Ransom
of the Public Service Commission yes
terday
The decision by Charles z. Hughes.
as referee. that the s0-cent rate fixed
by the Legislature, as we'll as the e5-
cent rate now charged by the company,
was conhscatory, opened the door for
the company to fix its own rate Mr..
Ransom declared yesterday that al
though Mr.. Hughes had found the so
cent rate confseatory he did not find
a 95-cent rate contiscatory under any
fair average of conditions, and did not
find any facts or indicate any opinion
warranting the announcement of the
company's counsel that the company
will put in effect rate of SIPS, in
part to enable the company "to recoup
past losses" as the company's counsel
said.
On the contrary, Judge Ransom said,
the learned referee specifically found
that even under the abnormal and
highly adverse conditions of 1917 the
95-cent rate yielded the company
net return of a little less than 4h per
cent upon the full value of it's prop
erty.
Under ordinary conditions" de-
clared Judge Ransom, "a 95-cent rate
would be clearly adequate for this
company. Allowing the company a
rate increase for the war period, equiv
alent to the increased operating costs
due to the war, would, in my personal
opinion, warrant charge little, if any,
in excess Of 81. The suggestion of es-
tablshing $1.25 rate, without the au-
thority of the Legislature or the COM.
mission, impresses me as an outrageous
attempt to take advantage of custom
ers."
Judge Ransom said he would recon-
mend TO the commission at its meet
ing to-day the adoption of resolution
calling for a public hearing as to the
finances and rates of the Brooklyn
company, with a view to the immediate
prescribing the rate which the company
may hereafter charge. Then the com
pany could contest the commissions
power in the matter, if it wished to, he
said.

Huge Organization
Has Been Built Up

10 energlze this patriotic duty, there
has been built up since June II
the day the President decreed the new
labor programme continental organ
ization that essentl lily follows the
analogy of the draft boards. Added to
the paid executive and administrative
machinery that now reaches into every
state and every labor community, are
state and community boards, represent-
ing labor and capital, whose business
it is to advise, with the executives
concerning state and local conditions,
to suggest where men may be found,
to appeal to employers to release men
for war work, to arouse public senti-
ment and opinion and stir up patri-
otc enthusiasm for volunteering for
war work similar TO that that turned
conscription into selective honor.
We shall now see men marching away
to war work as we have seen that
marching away to war waging, march
ing with pride and honor and to the
concrete honorary reward of distin-
gushing insignia when they have given
a certain proof of fidelity and stead
fastness
Thus has been undertaken the great
task of mobiizing and directing labor
without compulsion. The compulsory
military service worked we'll because
the people were for it. 1t is con-
tdently hoped that the new system of
voluntary submission to national di-
rection Of labor will work well because
the people and the laborers Will be for
it, The one compels where compulsion
was wise and proper and democratic
and the other invites where compulsion
IS held to be neither wise nor demo-
cratic Both are suited to the genius
of free and patriotic people.

South unquestionably has surplus Of

been guarding it with local ordinances
and shotguns, and negroes, anxious to

Now all this is to be changed. None

Now, as the returns come in from the
10000 war industries that have been

With the temporary exceptions incident
to change from the old to the new, no
employer of more than hundred men
engaged in war work may seek or en-

offenders in New York City, which be-
gan with the legislative invest CATION
Of the courts which showed the lseces-
sity for better methods in such eases,
and was carried on by DR.. Davis and
her successor, Burdette G. Lewis.
Mr.. Smith was member of the
committee which recommended among
other things, the creation of sepa
rate night court for women and the
establishment, under the Jurisdiction
Of the Commissioner Of Correction, of
a place of detention near the night
court for women where the old and
new offenders might be segregated be-
fore and after the hearing.

It is now proposed to change the
night court to day court, but the
nearby place for segregation has not
yet been established The new farm

He ought to, for practice makes per-

At any rate he pipes best. That is
proved by the fact that every year he
leads the biggest Fresh Air party of

times it numbers 200 boys and girls,
sometimes 300, but it always holds the
record for the season IN which it goes
