NOT TO ADVANCE
Freight RATES
ADJUST TARIFFS BEFORE
RETURN OF ROADS

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 9.-The
railroad administration will make no
increase in freight rates before re-
turn of the railroads to private oper-
alton, January /.
Director General Hines wrote T..
Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the rail-
way executives that 1t would be ''im-
possible for the government to estab-
lish any general readjustment of
rates" because earnings of the roads
under the abnormal conditions pre-
vailing in the early part of this year
did not afford fair test of income.
The manifest desire of the public
to have the interstate commerce COM
mission exercise full authority in any
readjustment of rates to be effective
under private control, also was cited
by the director general as an objec-
tion to the railroad administration S
undertaking such a readjustment.

Arguments IN
ANTITRUST CASES
ATTORNEYS FINISH PLEAS BE
FORE SUPREME COURT IN
COAL SUIT APPEAL

Washington, d. c. Oct. 9.--In ac.
cordance with the governments an,
nounced intention of resuming the
prosecution of the antitrust cases
pending in the suprleme court now
that the war has ended, arguments
were heard yesterday in appeals
brought in suits instituted by the gov
ernment under the Sherman act
against the alleged anthracite coal
trust and the United States Steel
corporation. The hearing of the coal
cases was concluded, but owing to
additional time being granted both
sides for argument, the steel case
will not be finished until next Fri
day.
Before arguments in these cases
were begun, the court at the request
of Solicitor General King consented
to postpone temporarily the hearing
of arguments in the government IS
suits against the Eastman Kodak
company and the Associated Bill
Posters and Distributors unions.
These are expected to be heard pos
sibly late this fall
Except for the order of the federal
district court calling for the sever
ance Of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey from Reading interests, the
government Lost both its cases in the
lower court against the Reading hold
ing corporation, the Lehigh Valley
railroad company and the United
States steel corporation and their
subsidiaries. All the cases have
been argued before in the supreme
court, so the Lehigh case was sub
mitted to the court on the printed
briefs previously filed by both sides.
The other arguments were virtually
repetitions of those already pre-
sented.

TO FLOOD BURNING
HOMESTAKE Mine
BLAZE In THE FAMOUS GOLD
NINE HAS BEEN RAGING
FOR FOUR DAYS

Deadwood, Oct. 9.-The fire in the
famous Homestake mine, the leading
mine of the Black Hills and one of
the great gold producers of the world,
has assumed more serious proper
tions, and steps have been taken to
flood the mine for the purpose of
extinguishing the fire, which has
been burning a number of days and
nights between the 700 and S00-foot
levels of the mine.
The flooding with water of such a
gigantic mine is no small task, and
will consume many days. In pre-
vious fire the mine was flooded in
about thirty-five days. Mining oper-
ations were resumed at once, when
the company began to unwater the
mine, with ore from the sur face and
upper levels. AT that time the fire
was on and above the 300-foot level,
and as the fire now raging in the
| mine is between the 100 and S0O-foot
| levels, it is estimated that the mine
| can be flooded and the fire extin-
guished in less than thirty days. The
unwatering of the mine, after it has
been floodede and the fire extin
guished, will be another laborious
task.
| In the meantime, pending thu
4 flooding of the mine, car of the
| United States bureau of mines, will
a force of men, is one the scene tt
assist in fighting and controlling th'
fire until the millions of gallons O
water to be turned into the min'
reaches the fire and puts it out. Th'
mining bureau car, which has its sta
ton at Livingston, Mont, arrived il
the Black Hills on hurry-up cal
from the officers of the mine.
i Sot far the mine workers hav
! been unable to check the flames, an
great many of the fire-fighters
who have been working day an
night, have been overcome by ga
and smoke.
A hole is being drilled from tn
j 6OO-foot level to the heart Of the fir
& area, with the object of using stear
: in an effort to check or extinguis
the flames.

Will Hold No
Accident Campaign

Every railroad under federal con-
troll will endeavor to operate for the
two weeks between October 18th to
31st without a personal injury, and
the safety section of the United
States railroad administration is ask
ing the cooperation of the public as
well as railroad employees to aid in
eliminating all injuries.
Realizing the wonderful showing
made by the Chicago, Milwaukee Il
st. Paul employees for the first six
months of 1919 over the correspond
Ing period of 1918, it is felt that with
the added cooperation of the public
in general the reduction of accidents
upon this great system will be second
to none
The success that has been obtain
ed in the past has been brought
about through an educational cam
paign spread over this railroad dur
ing a period of seven years by well
organized safety first bureau, con-
sisting of general supervisor and
