will be launched at Tacoma. WASH,
December IA. The vessel has been
named the Omaha and will be chris
tened by Miss Louise Bushnell White

John Bull Eating Too

But for considerable tims
this country must depend on

tons of beef and mutton are inn
ported annually.
The continental European de-
mand for frozen meat is esti-
mated at about 100000 tons
annually, an amount that ex.

NEW YORK, May 23.-Nineteen
twenty is destined to witness renewed
efforts on the part of officials of cleo
trio railway systems throughout the
United States to obtain authority to-
charge still higher fares than were
granted the public service corpora
tons in 1919 and 1gS.
In a poll of fifty-three cities reports
showed that in only twelve cities
fares have not been raised, while in
the other forty one increases of from
a fraction OF a cent to and cents
have been granted.
In eleven of the twelve cities where
the cost of a car ride remains the
same, however. either definite steps
have already been taken looking to-
ward a revision of the fare in favor
of the operating companies or adver-
Using campaigns are being put on to
prepare the public mind for a later
demand. In only one city has there
been an actual downward revision of
the fare.
Increased costs of labor, steel, cop
per, wire and the hundred and one
other kinds of materials necessary to
the operation of an electric line has
been the one outstanding reason ad-
vanced by the corporations in asking
for more money. The old nickel that
used to be enough to pay all expenses
and then produce a respectable profit
now pays only about 2I5 to 3 cents
toward the upkeep and operation of
the roads, officials argue.
In several cities, notably New YORK,
municipal bus lines have been put in
operation, substituting for various
car routes. New York's riding public
has for several months been bom-
barded with propaganda for an ad.
vance in fare on surface, elevated
and subway lines. The fare has re-
manned at cents, however, although
two or three companies suspended
transfer privileges and ceased to
operate cars on a few lines.
In Chicago the State public utilities
commission granted the surface and
elevated lines authority to raise their
| fares from cents to Z and cents,
respectively. Recently, however
when examination showed the COM
panies prospered too greatly on the
advanced fares, the increases were
