POINDEXTER PLANS
NEW WAR ON RATES

The next Congress will see a re-
newal of the effort by Senator Poin-
dexter of Washington to amend the
Interstate Commerce law to eliminate
practices which Doindexter charges
result in inland towns paying higher
transportation rates than more dis
tant communities on water routes.
Supported by a statement Of Cen
eral Black, chief of engineers, that
the present rail tariff constitutes one
of the grossest abuses in the coun-
try" PoindeXter today called atten-
tion to the report of the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee, made
last February. favoring changes in
the law to equitably adjust rates.
"The committee found that gross
discrimination existed throughout the
entire country to the injury of the in
land towns" Poindexter said.
AS an example, Poindexter pointed
out that a carload of canned goods
from New York to Pacific ports cost
S27O, while the same carload to Spo-
kane, Wash, cost 1896. Portland,
Ore, paid S1.25 a hundred pounds for
baled wool from Boston, while Boise,
Idaho, 500 miles nearer Boston, paid
S214, Poinedexter declared.
"The railroads made il a point
to make arbitrary determinations
against shippers patronizing water
routes and refused to give joint serv-
ice with water transportation COM
panies," Poindexter said. "They met
water competitive points with low
land charges and in the end generally
destroyed water transportation or
curtailed il to a great extent"

PEACE DELEGATES
ASK LOAN SUPPORT

Members Of the American peace
delegation. in an appeal issued
through the Treasury Department
called upon all Americans to Finish
the job" by supporting the Victory
Liberty loan.
The appeal, which bears the sigma
lures of Secretary Lansing. Gen.
Tasker H. Bliss, Col, Z. NJ. House, and
Henry White, says that If the loan
fails, 'ft would indicate that the ma
ton is willing to leave its task unfin-
ished."
ITO finish this mighty task imposes
on the Government a great financial
burden" the statement continues.
THE Victory Loan must thrive. II 1t
fails, it would indicate that the ma
ton IS willing to leave its task un-
completed. To secure the ideals for
which Americans fought and died,
this great demand on national pa
triotism and united effort should
meet a generous and universal re-
sponse. Let up do our duty TO the
end.
I'VE have had the oportunity here
IN France to see and to realize the
magnitude Of the accomplishment of
our country in the great war, and the
magnificent spirit with which this
great task has been carried through
to a triumphant issue.
What has been done and what re-
mains TO be done before normal con-
ditions can be restored demand your
continued support with the same spirit
Of self-sacrifice and of determination
as that which was manifested by the
nation while the German armies faced
our men at the Marne, and in the
Champagne, at st. MihieI, and in the
Argonne. We must not relax our ef-
forts until every soldier of the repub-
lis is landed safely again on the soil
of America"

Had Planned Another Tie-up Of the
Railroads.
NEW YORK, Sept 22.-Representa
tives of the six international unions of
railroad shopmen have, it is announced
in labor circles, come to an agree.
ment on wages with Walter d. Hines
By the terms of the new agreement
which it is expected will be formally
published in Washington this week
100000 men receive the eight hour day
and increases ranging up to 20 cents an
hour.
The unions affected make up the rail
way department of the American fed
GRAFTON of labor and include the interna.
tional association of machinists, inter
national brotherhood of boiler makers
iron ship builders and assistants, inter
national brotherhood of blacksmiths and
helpers, the sheet metal workers ALI
ance, international brotherhood of cleo
trical workers, and the railways car
mems union of America.
This agreement, labor men said, would
probably obviate a recurrence of trou-
bles in the railroad shops and end the
agitation for general strike which was
set for Sept. 2 and postponed on the re-
quest of President Wilson.
1t is understood that under the new
scale of wages, in addition to the eight
hour day, previously offered by Mr.. Hines
with the approval of President Wilson
boilermakers who have been receiving
- to 81 cents an hour are advanced from
Y to II cents, with scent advance to
helpers, making the rates 40 to "a cents
an hour. The 1918 scale, against which
the men struck, averaged about % cents
TN hour for the journeymen and 81 cents
an hour for their helpers. The wage
,cales in the other classes of shop work
IRE understood to show proportionate
increases.
The new railroad scales, it was said.
are not as high as the prevailing scales
IN shipyards, but it was pointed out that
the difference is more apparent than
real, since the railroad shopmen have
steady work under much better condi-
tions than prevail in the shipyards, with
little or no time on account of weather
or lack of work.
Since the suspension of the strike
vote at the request of President Wilson.
Insurgents in the railroad unions have
)een conducting campaign to force a
strike over the heads of the international
unions, which held up the order to strike
on Sept. 2 These insurgents have called
conference in Chicago for Sept. % at
which it has been planned to cause a
new tie-up of the railroads of the coun-
try. 1t is not expected that the settle
ment agreed upon will have the effect of
calling this meeting off, but the conserva-
tives among the shop men believe that
it will make the meeting powerless tc
create real trouble
