HARD LUCK STORIES
PEDDLED INSTEAD OF
BLSINESS APPEALS

Jacksonville, Oct. Jacksonville
people are being used as "easy
money" by men in uniform soliciting
for magazines. Hard luck stories are
being peddled instead of straight bus
mess appeals.
The Chamber of Commerce and the
War Camp Community Service have
been beseiged with calls from citi-
zens Indignant at the outrages be-
ing done our ex-soldiers." The basis
OF their indignation being stories told
by these men anxious to make "easy
money"
Some days ago a man applied at
the Enlisted Mems Club for a posi-
ton. A position paying $11O a
month, with board and washing, was
secured for the man. But he didn't
turn up to take the job. A few days
later he was seen and he then ad-
mitted that he didn't want the posi-
ton at $110, as he could make so
much more selling a soldier maya
zine.
The United States government does
not want ex-service men to solicit in
uniform, and will meet any just de-
r,ands or claims they have for in
juries or disabilities received in the
service, officers of the War Camp
Community Service say. Sympathy
appeals Should not be accepted as the
basis for donating" money to men
in uniform. The secretary of war
has ruled that it is a slap at the
face of honest men who served in
the war and are now earning an hon
est living.

Northern papers have lectured tbe

Tallahassee, Oct 1.-The Florida
railroad commission today issued the
following statement to Florida ship
pers with reference to proposed con.
solidated freight classification No. /:
From time to time we have been
advising shippers in this state with
reference to the status of proposed
consolidated freight classification No.
/.
1t will be recalled that in July, 1913,
| the director general of railroads sub
mitted this classification to the In.
terstate Commerce Commission for
it's advice and recommendation. The
commission at once arranged for pub
lie hearings to be held, beginning at
Boston on August /, and ending at
Atlanta, Ca, on September 10, 1918
The proposed classification was the
work of a special committee appoint
ed by the U. S. railroad administra-
ton. This committee was not in
structed to change ratings where that
was not necessarily or reasonably in
cident to changes in descriptions.
This committee, however, took it
upon itself to make radical and rev.
dictionary changes in ratings as we'll
as in rules, packing requirements,
carload minima and descriptions. In
addition to this it gradually leaked
out that it was the purpose of the
railroad administration to have this
classifications cancel al state classic.
cations. The director general also
had under consideration the advis.
ability Of canceling the exceptions to
ali classifications.
The effect Of these proposed chang.
es would have been to bring about
material advances in majority of
the articles that enter into the COM
merce of this state; in some in.
stances as much as 400 per cent.
The increases in the Western ter.
ritory would have been actually less
than the decreases. In Eastern terri
tory the increases amounted to about
one-half more than the decreases.
The following table illustrates the
increases and decreases in the vari-
GUS territoritories:

The above Differences would have

and the removal of the exceptions
from the interstate classification. It
must be borne in mind that these dis.
ordinations were proposed against

1t is a further fact that many of
the so-called reductions are paper re.

1T is true that the individual can
