launch VAST EFFORT
FOR EUROPE'S YOUNG
Eight American Relief Agencies
Combine to Save $4,000
Children Death MenaeeS.

Eight great relief organizations,
working among and for every race and
creed, have united under the name OF
the European Relief Council to CO
ordinate child relief In Europe this
winter. The Council will seek to pro
vide funds for 100000 starving and
diseased children in Eastern and Cen
trail Europe and to administer this
relief economically.
It consists Of Herbert Hoover. chair
man, and Franklin Z. Lane. treas
urer; Edgar Richard, representing the
American Relief Administrati"n; Dr.
Livingston Farrand, representing the
American Red Cross; Felix Warl'urgy
representing the Jewish Joint Dstri-
button Committee; Wilbur K. Thomas,
representing the American Friends
Service Committee (Quakers) James
A. Flaherty, representing the Knights
Of Columbus; DR.. O. Y. Hubbard, repre-
senting the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION; Miss Sarah S. Lyon. repre-
sentinE the Young Women's Christian
Association; DR.. Arthur Brown, repre-
senting the Federal Council of Church
es Of Christ In America.
It Is the purpose Of the Council to
raise $4,000, 900, In an appeal center
ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the desperate situation re-
gardlng child life may be met IN
every town and community Of the Da-
ton, It Is planned, local committees
representing all the cooperating agen-
cies will be formed to secure the VI
tally necessary funds. OF the aIs,,'ssNs
sought, S23OOO,OOO will be usc,I Tor
basic food and 100000 for medical
service.
For every one Of these American
dollars the local governments and
communities aided will furnis) two
dollars, In the form of transportation,
labor, guards, clerical help, cash con
tributions and such food supplies as
are locally obtainable. No children
receive the free food except after
medical tests showing them to be seri-
ously undernourished. The remaining
100000 Of the fund is just as
urgently needed for medical service to
the children.
The European Relief Council will &c
much more than effect economies in
the raising Of the child saving fund.
II will, with the inspecting forces OK
eight great agencies, keep a constant
eye on the administration Of Amer
ica's merciful gift, in order that there
shall be no wastage and no tendency
toward pauperizatiOn.
This is the largest cooperative he
nevolent organization ever attempted
in the United States" Mr.. Hoover
says. THE organizations represented
have come to the unanimous, though
independently formed conclusion, That
nothing but prompt and united action
by the whole American people ran
avert incredible tragedy for the help
less children involved. The OrganjrG-
tions forming the Counci, will organ
ize their representatives In every
town and community of the nation
for the raising of the necessary fuud>,7

New York Herald Bureau,


Washington, ID. C.. Nov. IL.
In far reaching decision vitally
affecting railroad rate control in the
several States, the Interstate Com
merce Commission held to-day that
New York State passenger fares are
discriminatory because they are lower
than Interstate fares and ordering the
institution of the higher Interstate
rates.
The decision, the most vital since
the celebrated Shreveport rate case as
affecting railroad control by the In
terstate Commerce Commission, means
20 per cent. increase in all passenger
fares in New York State, as well as
Increases in baggage charges. milk and
cream rates and sleeping car fares.
Action upon communication fares was
postponed pending further inquiry.
Orders entered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission overrule the
Public Service Commission of New
York, which refused to approve or put
into effect the higher fares, and over
ride the New York State law which
limits passenger fares to three cents
a mile.
Commissioner Eastman. in long dis
senting opinion. set forth the view that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
had stepped beyond the bounds OF it's
powers and limitations in he majority
opinion. He brought out sharply the Is
sue of State rights involved in the ques-
tion of State control over Interstate
