and injuring twenty-five, four per-

The accident is believed to have
been caused by signal men repair

other train and threw the wrong
switch.
The smash seemed to have spent
itself on one Pullman car of the

big steel Pullman lurched and rolled,

The westbound train had been an

MINES MAY BE SEIZED

London. Oct 2o.-Alternate fear
of additional strikes TO augment
the seriousness of the national coal
strike. and hopes that an early set
tlement is in sight divided public
interest today and tonight, as Par
Lament continued TO debate allied
subjects in an attempt TO reach a
solution Of the strike and the un-
employed problem.
Little hope is seen OF sverting
the railway strike in sympathy with
the miners. many branches Of the
railway mems union having already
voted to 60 out
Await wsIksut order.
The London branch OF the Trans
port Workers Union has voted a
sympathy strike, but the strike or
der has been held up until tonights
meeting. Members Of the union
throughout England have been or
dered to hold themselves in readi-
ness to quit work when the order
is issued.
The PRINCIPAL hope that was held
out for the settlement OF the coal
strike came from the declaration OF
Thomas Ashton. general secretary
OF the miners. In a speech at Man
chester today he answered the de-
mand Of Premier Lloyd George for
increased output by declaring that
If the premier would call the miners
officials and the mine owners into
conference. the premier would be
able to get all the guarantees he
required for added production. at
the first meeting.
May Mean Solution.
Coupled with the previous dec
laration OF Premier Lloyd George
that the government is ready 10
enter into negotiations looking 20
a permanent settlement OF the coal
situation. with increased wages
based upon a pledge of increased
output, the statement of Secretary
Ashton was looked upon as the fore
runner Of a possible early solution
of the strike.
1t was reported today that a dele
tion of miners will present a rec
omme ndstion to the South wales
Conference next Friday that the
owners be locked out from the pits
and the mines operated by the men
until a settlement Of the strike Ia
reached.

DOUBLING

Chicago is more than twice as far
from New York as it was six years
ago. More than that, every place in
the United States is now about twice
as far from every other place as it
was in 1914"
These rather startling assertions are
made by Secretary Thompson Of the
National Rivers and Harbors congress
in a statement released today. The
statement goes on to say:
"Of course, the number of miles be.
tween New York and Chicago, or n
other two places that might be named,
Is just the same now as it always was.

measure by. We might use, for in

constitutes the true commercial meas.

Geographically, Chicago is still
1000 miles from New York, but, be.
cause of the increases made in freight
rates during the past six years, the city
on Lake Michigan is now, CONNER
cially, 2,100 miles from t%idewater, and
every community in the country has
been pushed back until it is twice as
far away from the markets in which
1t either buys its supplies or sells it's
products as it was in 1914.
The whole increase was not made
at once, the country never would have
stood for it if it had been. First, it
was five per cent in 1914; then fifteen
per cent in 1917; then twenty-five per
cent, by Mr.. McAdoo's order, in 1918;
and now an advance varying from
twenty-five per cent for the southern
and mountain Pacific groups to forty
per cent for the eastern group, and

Monies, 34.58 per cent for the whole

Stated In another way, this means
that for every dollar paid to the rail

pay two dollars or more. Now it is
just as certain as fate itself that every

creases both the cost of living and Of
doing business and decreases the ter
ritory in which our products, whether
of farm or factory, can be sold. But
the most vital question today is not
whether we shall pay one price or an
oth.r for the transportation of our
goods, but whether we can get them
carried at all.
an Europe they use waterways rs
well as railways. France, Belgium,
Holland and Germany Gas it was before
the war;, whose combined area is only
~one-seyenth that of the United States,
have 23,200 miles Of waterways, of
which they make a continually ~increas-
ing use. The tonnage of goods trans
ported on the waterways of Germany
in 1905 was five times as much as was
carried in 1875, and it is more than
a coincidence that, in every one of the
twenty years ending in 1913, the for
eign commerce of Germany, which is
$4,000 square miles smaller than the
state of Texas, exceeded that of the
United States by hundreds Of millions
of dollars. why should not the %, 900
miles Of inland waterways in the
United States be made available for
use?"

THE SUSPICIOUS ONES

Too often when a local man under
takes some worthy project in the com
muntiy there are the suspicious Ones
who ask: What does he get out of
it," Just as if nobody ever did any
thing without an Interior or selfish
motive.
A public improvement Of some kind
is proposed and a certain element sets
up the cry: Somebody is going to
get something out Of it," A man ac-
cepts an Office at a sacrifice, think
ing he can help the people of the com
munity, and some fellow speaks up
and says: ooh, well, he'll get a good
deal more out of it than the salary"
And when a fellow makes a donation
to some worthy aus his motive is
suspicioned and questioned.
The suspicious, the ones who do the

are knocking. Where a man suspects
selfish motives in another he knows
deep down in his own heart that has
selfish motives in most things that he
does. There are a lot of righteous
people in this old world doing all they
can for the betterment of the human
race, helping all of us in every way
they can. Money is III their main
object in life. which cannot be under
