Federal Operation.

Washington, April 20.-Toti1 loss to
the government growing out of federal
control of the railroads was estimated
by the house appropriations commit
tee at more than $1,1290O0000 This
includes the $2250O0,00O estimated as

NEW ENVOY ARRIVES
BRITISH AMBASSADORS SIR AUCK,
LAND GEDDES IN NEW YORK.
Asks Outsiders to Let the Irish Settle
Their own Quarrels-None
With English.

New York, April 20.-Asserting
that in this generation there IS no
quarrel between England and Ireland,
Sir Auckland Geddes, new British am
bassador to the United States, on his
arrival here said that the Irish in
Ireland should be allowed to grapple
with their own political difficulties
without outside interference.
Insisting that ii takes two to make
quarrel and that the present gem
Grafton of Englishmen Lave steadfast-
ly refused to quarrel with Ireland, hs
said that when the new home rule blu
becomes operative it twill be the
duty of all British subjects who are
not domiciIed in Ireland to stand aside
and leave those who live there 10 solve
their problem"
For generations England has given
sanctuary to representatives Of the
disconnected and the unhappy, the
oppressed and the downtrodden we
have learned how difficult it is TO right
a small wrong or even great and
bitter wrong without creating a new,
a greater and a still more bitter sense
of wrong elsewhere.
1--WE are trying now as always, TO
meet the legitimate aspirations of the
dependent peoples such as those in
India and in Egypt, so far as in our
judgment is possible without working
mischief where we seek to do good.
"Similarly in Ireland we are trying
to provide political machinery where
by the antognized sections of the
Irish peoples can work out their own
internal political salvation without
economic ruin 70 Irish interests.
continued, that it will also be helpful
if the many in all parts Of the world
who are not British subjects, but are
interested in Ireland, likewise stand
aside and leave the Irish to grapple
with their own political difficulties"
Sir Auckland also referred to tho
Russian situation, stating that until
Russia returns to the circle OF pro
ducing and trading nations economic
conditions of the world and the cost
of living cannot be placed on n nor
NAL footing anywhere. He added that
the United States and Great Britain
were in cordial consultation on the
question of reopening trade with that
country.

H. C.-.L. FOUGHT BY
THE STEEL TRUST
Gary Explains Why Corporation
Holds Down Prices.
OLD QUOTATIONS RETAINED
Stockholders Asked Chairman of
Board Why Prices of Companys
Products Had Not Been Raised
in View of Great Demand.

New York, April 20.-Elbert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation, informed the stock
holders at the annual meeting in Ho-
boken that the company was holding
down the prices of its products be-
cause Of the high cost of living.
Referring to inquiries made by
stockholders as to why, in view of the
great demand, the cost of production
and prices received by other manufac-
turers, the prices of the corporations
products had not been raised above
those fixed by agreement between the
industrial board and steel manufac-
turers March q, 1919, he said:
ut seems to us the problem Of the
high cost of living is of convincing
importance. When the increasing ten
dency is to insist upon payment of
unreasonable sums for every commod-
ity and for every service, so that the
vicious whirl of advancement seems to
be unending, we think there is a NOR
al obligation on the part of everyone
10 use all reasonable efforts to check
this carnival of greed and imposition,
even at some sacrifice.
Should Prevent Increases
"There is a growing discrepancy be-
tween different individuals and inter-
ests. The man with a fixed income is
more and more disadvantaged and he
Is helpless. He cannot increase his
income to meet the increased cost of
living.
Therefore 1t should be the effort Of
all to establish and maintain rea-
sOnable basis of prices, certainly to
prevent further increases; otherwise
the government, from the standpoint
of protection of a part of the public,
must interfere
Mr.. Gary said that much thought
had been given to the question of
shorter hours for the corporations
employees, but that workingmen were
not satisfied with short days If larger
pay could be obtained by working
longer days.
Still for Open Shop.

Mr.. Gary announced that the cOrpor-
alton would continue to maintain the

a labor organization should be sub

ulation, like other organizations. Dis
elimination by law in favor of or
against any particular lass is detrl-
mental TO the interests of the gen
eral community"

connection:

to prove that corporation may be
possessed Of mind, heart and soul.

MUST REMAIN ON OWN SIDE
u. S. Will Not Permit Carranza's
Troops to Cross the Bound
airy Line.

Washington, April 20.-Carranza's
troops win not be permitted to trav-
erse American territory to fight the
Mexican revolutionists, unless the
border states give their consent.
That is the attitude of the war de-
partment after consideration Of the
views of the state department, which
we're transmitted by Secretary of
State Colby last Thursday.
Inasmuch as the state Of Arizona
already has laid before the state de-
partment its objection to the passage
of Mexican troops, it is regarded as
certain that Carranza must contine
his military bases against the revOu-
tionists TO Mexican territory.
