LABOR MAN SAYS
7 RATES WILL NOT
HIT CONSUMERS
BrotherhOods' Economist At
tempts Defense of Big
Wage Increases.

WASHINGTON, Aug 3.-Any appre-
ciable increase in the cost Of living fol-
1owinSt the rise in railroad rates viii be
due to deliberate proiteering and not a
legitimate consequence of the rate boost,
W. Jewett Lauck, economist represent
ing railroad labor organizations, de-
clared here.
Lauck asserted that the public need
not fear food and clothing will go up
in rriee unless the freight rate increases
are multiplied by four or five when
E passed on to the consumer.
THE great industries of this country
said Lauck, could well afford to deduct
from the price of their products this
freight rate increase
'IncIuding all of the transportation
costs entering into wholesale meat prices,
the maximum effect of the advance would
be one cent a pound.
"On -four the increased cost at Phila-
delphia would be about SO cents bar
rel
ION a suit of clothes made in the
east and sold on the Pacific coast the
added freight would be about 9 cents"
On coal, Lauck forecasted an increase
Of from IS cents to S1.35 ton.
Present indications, according to A. P.
Thomas, counsel for the railroad execr-
tives, are that the new passenger and
Pullman rates will become effective about
Aug. 20, while freight excess baggage
and milk rates will take effect Aug. %.
Railroad experts here today estimated
the revenue to be raised under the new
rates at approximately S1,5S3. 100000. of
which 81 300, 100000 would come from
freight charges and S2S3, 100000 from
passenger fares.
OFFICIAL SPEAKS FOR
OLD-TRIE COMPETITION.
While preparations for making the
rates were being hurried Fairfax Har-
rison, president of the Southern, issued
a statement declaring the time has now
come for the railroads to cut rates
through old-time private competition.
THE tremendous increase OF railroad
rates authorized by the I. c. c. seems
70 complete the cycle OF government
management OF the railroad industry, "
said Harrison.
at now remains for private manage
ment to resume the practice of compel
Tive efficiency and self-reliant initiative
to Justify the preference of the Amer
lean people for that form Of administra-
ton by making possible not only the
success of individual companies and the
prosperity Of their local employers, but
a prosperous and progressive run OF
rates, accompanied by an enlargement
OF service to the public such as may
be traced through the old fashioned rail-
road statistics.
No one can expect this to be accom-
plished over night considering practical
conditions, but a start can be made at
once
Relying on the cooperation and sup
port of the employees. the management of
the Southern railway will make the ef-
fort

MANY DEAD IN ANDEAN QUAKE
Towns Along Argentine Slope of Noun
tains Are In RuIns-Scores
of Bodies Recovered.

Buenos Aires.-EarthQuake shocks
which recently destroyed several
towns along the Argentine slope OF
the Andes mountains were the most
severe experienced in this country
since 1869, when half the city Of
Mendoza was laid in ruins. Reports
indicate great loss of life and prop
erty, upwards of $50 bodies having
already been taken from the wrecks
of buildings.
At Tresportenas, more than 100 per-
ished, and at Costa De Araujo, thirty
more were killed. It is feared that
more victims still are buried under
the ruins in each town. In three towns
not a house was left standing, and
those not destroyed were left in bad
" damaged condition. No estimate
of the news of persons injured has
yet been made.
Minor shocks continue throughout
the district, one particularly strong
tremor being felt late the other day.
The people are reported as being
panic stricken. The city of Mendoza
was shaken but did not suffer any ex-
tensiYe damage.
At Costa De Aranjo the seismic con-
yulsion opened great crevices out of
which hot water is spouting. The
water from one of these geysers
reached a height OF about fifteen feet
and formed a pool in which two per-
sons drowned A Red Cross ambu-
lance has reached the village and
york to rescue any sufferers who still
may be alive in the ruins is under
way.
More than thirty thousand persons
inhabit little towns along the Eastern
Andean slope, and as reports continue
to add to the long list Of casualties
apprehension is felt that the final fig
ures will be very high. Rescue parties
have been sent from Mendoza but de-
tails from the scene of the disaster are
meager, as telephone and telegraph
wires are badly disorganized.

Manager OF. Wholesale As
ISOLATION TO Senators.
HELPED OPERATORS TO. GOUGE
Public Made Victims of Combination,
George n. Cushing Tells the Sen
ate Investigating Committee.

Notwithstanding that govern
ment officials joined in coal profiteer-
ing during the shortage last summer
were made by George H. Cushing, man
aging director of the American Whole
sale Coal Association, testifying under
oath before a senate investigating
committee. In an executive session,
the committee, according to Chairman
Calder, was furnished by Mr.. Cush-
ing with the name of one man, said
to have been a principal in an oper-
alton by which a group of men in gov
eminent service obtained 100000 tons
of coal, which they sold later at a
profit of 100000. Railroad officials
and one army officer also participated
in the profit making. Mr.. Cushing was
said by Chairman Calder to have
charged.
Fooled Public Last Summer.
This phase of Mr.. Cushing's testi-
mony overshadowed the rest of his
statement, which was to the effect
that the coal shortage was due to
panic" and largely caused by state
ments of the interstate commerce
commission, the geological survey, by
railroad administration, and the senate
interstate commerce committee tell
ing the consuming public about a
coal shortage.
To Keep Names Secret
Chairman Calder, after the executive
session, recounted a part of Mr.. Cush-
ing's statement, saying no names
would be made public until investiga-
ton Of the charges was completed.
Certain officials, it was said Cushing
testified, were able to secure informa-
ton as to communities where short
age conditions were particularly fear
ed and possessed information as TO
the effect of priority orders obtained
on the furnishing of coal cars.
These officials also were said to
have had information as to coal N
transit, and to have been able to OBJ
tain supplies which could be diverted
to more lucrative markets. One pool
mentioned by Cushing, Senator Calder
said involved 100000 tons, while other
operations were said to have been init
mated. The government official named
by Cushing was said by the witness
to have resigned some time ago.
