TWO BILLIONS MORE RAILWAY REVENUES
 SEEN IN REQUEST
Declares Shippers Face In. crease of 5 Per Cent.
 In Freight Rates.

Washington, June 29-Freigh1 rates must be increased 55 1-2 De, cent if the roads demands for in. creased freight tariffs and the mems demands for increased pay are grant. ed and the whole burden placed or the freight traffic, the I. c. c. was told today by Clifford Thorne, ot Chicago, representing shippers.
 MT. Thorne recommended that the wage advances be added without fur ther hearings to the costs upon which the roads now base their reoues, for advanced freight rates; that a five per cent increase be made in passenger rates with the balance of freight tariffs to care for the pres ent case and that any advance oc- casioned by the wage decision be spread out over the entire earnings of the railroads from all sources.
 "An added burden of two billions of dollars annually or over fifty pel cent suddenly placed upon freight traffic of the United States would be overpowering,' MT. Thorne declared 'No man could foretell the conse- quences."

LACK OF RELIGIOUS
 TEACHINGS IN THE
 SCHOOLS IS SCORED
Archbishop Hayes Sees Evil In Increase of Secular
 Inlife. of All.

New York, June 29.-Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes today vigorously ar raigned the modern tendency" toward secularism, federal centralization and socialism in education in sermon at the solemn high mass which opened the seventeenth annual convention of the Catholic Educational associatio of the United States here today.
 "With science giving the shrug of doubt as to the existence of God" he said, "with law courts grinding out divorces ad nauseam, with passing lit erature that finds it pays to portray characters reeking with moral shame and condoning the offense, with young and old gone mad over the lurd mo- tion film, with the drama depraved in spite of heroic efforts of the many who patronize and love the clean play with the daily press mirroring the crimes and sins of society, with. femi- nine dress mocking at decency and modesty, with ever decreasing respect for authority and reverence for the flag of our country-where is the power who has the wisdom? Where the salvation of the youth of our land
 "The church has grived much for many long days at the widespread spirit of secularization in education and is gravely anxious at the present advocacy of federal centralization and the still more dangerous tendency of specialization in education," he said, "Seclarism violates the rights of God, centralization encroaches on the rights of the family and socialism the rights of the child.
 Sad is the lament of many thinking people and educators within and with out the church, at the absolute di- vorce of our system of public educa- tion from religion. The constant and continuous ignoring of God and the practice in the school room must have it's unfortunate effect on the young mind. The nation is bound to feel and suffer the consequences.
 "The philosophy of the world is to enjoy what one pleases to think as one pleases and to do what one pleases without the checks placed by religious sanction and the moral law"
 After the mass convention in res olution Congratulated" the Catholic people of Michigan on the "earnest de- ffense they are making of the natural right of every parent to direct the education of his child"

Night Session of Full Commit. tee Is likely Tonight
 To Consider Draft
BRYAN LOSES IN FIRST
 WET AND DRY TILT
Subcommittee Sessions Are Routine In Nature When Opponents of Administration Decline to
 Present Their Pleas,

San Francisco, June 29-Antual work on the democratic platform was begun tonight by the subcommittee o1 hlne after last minute suggestions rom many sources had been heard at an all day public hearing. When the subcommittee met the most serious problems confronting the convention including prohibition, the league of nations and the Irish oues- ton still were far from solution and 1t was apparent that some of these subjects at least would develop fights in the full committee, and probably on the convention floor, regardless of what action the subcommittee might take.
 Headed by Senator Glass of Virginia an administration man, and holding clear majority for many admins tratlon policies, most of these hold ing views not in harmony with the white house decided not to ask for subcommittee consideration for their suggestions.
 One of these who declined to take his proposals to the inner circles of platform builders was w. J. Bryan who said he preferred to wait and make the fight for his league of na- tions and bone dry blanks in the full committee after the subcommittee had acted. Senator Walsh of Massa- chusetts, who also has league plank of his own, made a similar decision In their deliberations tonight the subcommittee had as a starter the Virginia platform written by Senator Glass and approved by President Will son. It also had a mass of testimony collected at the days public argu- ments during which feeling on the prohibition and Irish questions, seve. ral times approached the boiling point.
 Bryan Is Beaten. At the conclusion of the hearings today the full platform committee adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow
 but members of the subcommittee generally predicted that despite the long night session, they would be un- able to report by that hour. It was said that if report was ready during
 the day the full committee migh, consider it at night session tomorrow in the hope of having the platform for the convention itself Thursday. William J. Bryan, as bone dry advocate, lost in the clash between Walsh and drys before the commit tee today when by vote he was com. pelled to present his case first. The subsequent speeches by vets and drys brought forth a lively session as die the debate on the Irish question.
 The clash came as soon as the com mittee took up the prohibition issue MT. Bryan and Cochran ,wrangled fol half an hour on the point. Chairman Glass finally interrupted to say that it appeared that no one "wanted tl talk" so the question would be pass ed over.
 "This is not time for joking, shouted MT. Bryan.
 "The chair is not joking" retorted Senator Glass, pounding the table "and resents the suggestion" Or motion by Borden of Alabama that the drys speak first MT. Bryan de. manded roll call and the motion was adopted 27 to 25.
