One Of the most practical gifts for a

This may be done through the Will

Many boys and girls are deprived of
the opportunity to finish their ele-

cause the money they might earn is
needed at home. The foundation makes
an effort to supply the families of such
children so that the children may con

Miss Anna Pratt, director of the
work, says that the foundation in ad-

GOSSIP OF THE STREET
SWITCHING OF RAILROADS
TO OWNERS VERY BIG JOB
AH Eyes Turned Washington for the Pqnacea for UnScran
bling of Counrys Carriers

ITNHE financial district again registered
\ disappointment when, Just before
closing on the Saturday half. session,
word came over the wire from Wash
ington that there would be no message
ON Saturday from President Wilson
bearing ON the return of the railroads.
Some of those disappointed tried to
find consolation in the news that there
would be a vote on the Cummins bill at
5 30 on Saturday, although they ex.
pressed doubts as to what interposition
might be made by Senator La Toilette.
There were quite number who
showed interest in the statement on thc
railroad question published in this col
unn on Saturday to the effect that a
certain person had been in touch with
labor leader councils and found thcy
were irot only certain about the retcn-
ton of the roads, but also the holding
up of certain legislation sufficiently
long to throw the whole railroad issue
into the next presidential campaign
Quite number said it was more than
probable, and few were doubtful. but
added that few days would show.
1t will not be for the lack of proper
anu VoluUlnoUS propaganda, remarked
a banker, if the public fail to be in
formed of the real conditions of the
railroads. Julius Kruttschnidt, of the
Southern Pacific, has just published
a diagram showing comparison of the
increases of rates by the railroads with
the increase of prices in trade. This
diagram shows that the increase in the
cost of commodities carried hv the roads
since the war has been from $50 to $119
per ton, but rates increased in the same
time so cents per ton.
In other words, while the increase
in value of commodities was S63 ton,
the increase in rates was only so cents a
ton, or, as Mr.. Kruttschmidt put it,
the railroads took 3 cents out of the
increased value of the goods marketed,
while the traders took oS. Z cents. There
is no question, he said, that in some
way justice must be done to the rail-
roads.
