says:
In 2 recent debate in the senate.
on this feature of the railroad situx-
tion, Senator Pomerene said that
there are now about 14l. 600 more
employees than there were 18 months
ago. although less bueiness is being
handled There are Eve men on the
staff Of the director general who get
$50. 600 per year each. Two draw
down salary Of $40, 600 and three
salary of $35, 600. Two get $50. :
600, eight receive $25. 600 each,
eleven receive $40. 600 each, and SO
on down the line. There are 72 men
on the staff Of the director general
who get total of annual salaries Of
81. 1893. 100, OF an average of $l9.-
418. Each one of number of these
railroad men get salary equal to
the combined aalary of the chief JUS
tice of the United States and two Of
his associates.
And under this liberal salaries pay

advance Of SO per cent in freight and
passenger ratee, an increase of 141,-

In an address before the United
States senate by Senator McCumber
of North Dakota, defending the league
of nations he says:
It has been asserted and re.aseert-
ed in allethe false sattacks on .ihis .n-
stfument that the United ssSaSes
would he compelled to help Great
Britain preserve her domain against
her own internal revolutions or rebel
lions. Nothing could be more false.
1t is only against external aggression
that the league assures its protection.
And yet it was only a few days ago
that the United States senate, by al
most unanimous vote. passed a reso I.
luton urging the organizers of the
league of nations to tax. official rec
ognition of delegation from the Irish
Republic. and if we are not mistaken
Sen. McCumber voted for it. The
question of Irish independence is
purely domestic affair of Great
Britain. Yet the supporters of the
league in the senate, as we'll as its
opponents, asked to have it consid-
cred. If the independence of Ireland
10 fit subject for consideration by
the league. so would be the independ-
ence of the Philippines or of Alaska
or of any other portion. of the United
States that might seek independence.
