GOMPERS PLEDGES
 LABOR TO COUNTRY
Mill Uphold Ideals of American
 ism As In Past

Washington, Jan. 1.-Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, in a New Years statement, pledged Americas workers to do their full share in working out the countrys problems of 1920. MT. Gompers said:
 Americas workers stand ready i'll the new year as in the past to do their full duty as American citizens. We have always placed our obligations as citizens above all else. As citizens we are true to the American ideal of equal opportunity for all.
 In the past we have found it neces- sary to fight for that ideal against agencies that sought to establish spe- cial privilege. Those fights have not been in defense of class advantage, but to assure to wage earners the rights and opportunities that all should pos sess. Our struggles may have brought discomfort to others, but they pre- vented a greater evil-deterioration Of the Virility of a part of the nation.
 ''The great struggle of labor in the past has been to assure to workers In their industrial relations the rights of free citizens. We have fought to give the ideal of America dominating 1n- f1uence in shops and factories. Our militant struggle has won general rec ognition for our demands. But our work is not all militant. We are in a position to contribute to the improve ment of prosecution processes and or ganiZation
 "The immediate problem of the world is to develop a production or ganization that will benefit those who are the real porducers, and will also serve the needs of starving nations. When assured of just dealings, Ameri- cas- workers are able to Cooperate Ill freeing production from the prevent ing grasp of spectators and influence that manipulate industry to enrich a few who gain unfair advantages thus preventing production, for the rum or all.
 This is big job. but it is essen- tial for we'll grounded development III the years to come. It is essential to that ideal which is America-equal op- portunity for all. Americas workers will do their full share in working out all our country's problems.'

Operation Of 7-Cent Fare on p. II. 7. Has
Not Given Relief.

Philadelphia, Dec. S-Under the in
creased fare schedule of the Rapid Transit
Company, which became effective on
November /, passenger earnings OF the
company for that month were increased
by &42e,7 On this basis it IL figured
that there should be an increase OF about
81, 2,5S2, ,736 In passenger earnings for the
ax months period, November ], 1920.
70 April 80, 1921, during which the new
fare rate il temporarily in effect.
These facts are brought out In none
too optimistic report made by President
Mitten, of the 7. r. 7. Company, TO the
Public Service Commission, which re-
port wss made public yesterday after
noon.
On tho matter Of the fare rate, Mr.
Milton saws that the actual result Of
the new schedule closely approaches
the fat rate Of fv. cents per pa.sen-
ger carried, formerly asked for by the
company" Although, be adds, II is TOO
earlv 10 SAY what effect the new fare
rate has on short riding, 1T Is evident
that the operating economies possible
under the formerly propoced tariff are
not obtainable under the plan adopted :
By which Mir Mitten means that these
operating economic. could have been ef-
fected under his plan for fiat five-cent
fare, with abolition of all tranTers and
exchanges.
With regard to skip-etops Mr.. Afitt ,
intimates that he doe. not favor an eIi-
tire elimination of tho skip-etop system
and declares that skip-stops are the
means Of saving about 81 200, 900 year
In operating costs.

Washington, Dec. 8.-The net cost of
the war to the American COVER rnment WAS
fixed by Secretary Houston today at
1924, ,O1O, 600, 900 This, he said, represent
cd the adjusted" expenditure Of the
treasury, excluding all other outlay which
had no relation to the actual prosecution
of the war during the period from April
6, 1917, to June 80, last, which he said
covered the extremes Of the govrnmcnt's s
war time fiscal operations.
Total expenditures by the government

source other than borrowed money.
Mr. Houston said deduction of 50, $780,
600 900, the same loaned to foreign govern
ments, should be made from the grand
total, since these loans will be repaid and
consequently cannot be charged AZ an
actual expenditure. The Secretary made
other deductions aggregating apron
mately 81, 500 600, 900 which he said rep-
resented the excess cost of actual govern

and Deputy Coroner Harvey Nichols
have made an investigation.
II is said that the coat and hat Of the
man, which are missing may have been
carried off by the tide, ms there is strong
carried of ia believed to have been due to
the body being heavier than the coat or
hat. One man today termed the flow OF
water at the place as a "small Niagara
Falls" II is expected that the coat and
hat will be found on the meadows in the
vicinity of the spot where Breslin's body
was found
At the office Of the J. w. Holloway Co,
for which Breslin worked, no information
could be secured as to the amount of
money the man may have had IN his pos
session. The last time he reported At the
Holloway Office WAS on Saturday. The
amounts which he secured on SUNDAYS
varied, according to statement made Mt
the office. None of the people from whom
Breslin might have collected money has
reported TO the Holloway office as 10
whether or not they paid money to Bres-
lin.
Members of the family still hold to their
belief of foul play. The case is being
handled by several members Of he de-
tective bureau and State Detective Mccoy
who are running out all clues in the affair.
Detectives learned today where Breslin
spent Sunday afternoon from 230 TO
$50. They were told that he was at the
home of person living at Minquadaie
during this time II is said that he kept
complaining of having lost several checks
