Rail Commissioners
 Say Public Control
 Has ProUed Failure

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Public ownership and operations of the railroads has failed wherever it has been properly tested, declared a committee report made today to the thirty second annual convention of National ssAssociation of Railway and Utilities commissioners.
 The question of private ownership with regulation as against public ownership without regulation should no longer be considered by intelligent investigators as an open question:" the report asserted. It added that private ownership and operation with public regulation was the "only just and honest man ner of conducting the public utility business of this country"
 P. J. Lucey of Illinois presented the report as chairman of the com mittee. Dealing with cost of rail- way operation now and before the war, it said:
 Tt seems remarkable that any sane man with a knowledge of the increase in all costs of living should think or expect that utility corporations might be an exception to the general rule. The opera tion of these general laws has again reduced the political agitator who has sought and is seeking to make political capital out of | present necessities

shipping boards cancellation and claims board
 The shipping board announced last night sale of surplus material on the Pacific coast valued at about s15,eoo,- 900 to "Barde Brothers, Inc" of New York.
 1t was alleged in the report that re- pair work on shipping board vessels was done on basis of pay for work men on the job at current wages plus 50 per cent for overhead and profit, plus 10 per cent of material cost to cover cost of purchase and profit to the contractors.
 "Overcharges immediately became and continue to be common under this form of agreement" said the report. It is to the advantage of the con tractor to pad payrolls, slight work, put too many men on the job, en- courage loafing on the job, corrupt in spectors and time keepers, use helpers and charge for first class workmen. use comman labor and charge for skilled labor, drag the work to make it last longer, find additional work to do, and get it specified, etc.

Lowest Prices In
 Four Years Rules
 Chicago Exchange

CHICAGO, Nov. e.-Loweat prices in four years prevailed today for all options of wheat, corn and oats on the Chicago board of trade. The new prices represented declines of to [ cents for wheat and or 3 cents for corn and oats under yesterdays prices. Wheat was 33 to 39 cents lower today than 1t was a week ago and corn quo tations were less than one-half what they were six months ago. The De- cember option in wheat closed today at s1.77 to $1.78; December corn, 7Sc, and December oats, 49c.
 Concident with the new low prices in wheat came announcement from Minneapolis millers of declines in family patents to new low points. the price dropping below $10 barrel for the first time in nearly four years. Lower corn prices were followed by de- clines in pork.
 Heavy receipts, aggregating 1o6,o00 animals in 10 markets were declared to be one of the causes of the decline in pork.
 Weakness of the wheat price was ascribed by some brokers to reports that Kansas bankers were considering the question of curtailing credits which, if dones might force Kansas wheat on the market, it was said. Later reports, quoted the Kansas bank commissioner as saying that while some banks were over-loaned, there would be no blanket order for cur tailment of loans but that each banks situation would be considered on its merits.
 The bank commissioner joined J. c Mohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture, in declaring there was no t'strike" of Kansas farmers to hold wheat for higher prices.

Mexico Will Not Make Guarantees
 For Recognition
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

FL PASO, Nov. 9-Mexico will not accept conditional recognition from any country. Its refusal to make specific guarantees as a means of obtaining recognition became known here today in an announcement received from Provisional President de la Huerta by Luis Montes de Oca, consul general for Mexico at Fl Paso. The announce ment, MT. Montes de Oca said had been sent by President de la Huerta to the Mexican representative at Washington and by him forwaded here by wire.
 President de la Huerta's telegram said:
 Through telegraphic reports from abroad I am informed that the Ameri- can and European press here pub lished rumors that some of the foreign governments have established or pro- pose to establish certain conditions to the resumption of diplomatic relations with Mexico and that such conditions are collected in a special protocol. Please disavow such statements in my name as have previously stated that the Mexican government vii not under any circumstances, resume diplomatic relations with any country under condi- tions that will lessen the respect due our government. It would be unjust and unacceptable to force upon us that which we have already, through our own conviction, voluntarily undertaken. Our attitude of adherence to moral standards is the only guarantee that our country can offer for being con- sidered in harmony with the other civ- ilized nations. Any step that is not in strict accordance with the policy al- ready followed by me as expressed in several public statements which I have made will be without the approval of executive authority under my charge This, Mir. Montes de Oca said, should not be taken to mean that Mexico will not respect every responsibility 1t has toward every country but that it does not want to be tied by making specific promises in advance of recognition.

Brindel. president of the Building Trades council. who is alleged to have received payments for calling off 1 per cent" on city pier construction contracts. totaling s3.250.OOO. testi- mony in Commissioner of Accounts Hirschfield's inquiry into ramifications of the trust" revealed today.
 Howard H. Sherwin. vice president and general manager of Terry & Tench company, contractors for Staten Island piers, declared that this, one-half of 1 per cent, $16,250, Brindel actually had been paid s7500.
 In a letter to Samuel Untermyer, special counsel for the joint legislative committee Investigating the alleged trust, Mir. Hirschfield forwarded copies of testimony of MT. Sherwin and Fred erick Tench, his associate, taken by a deputy of the commissioners office, tending to show that operations of the building conbine'' extended to con- tracts for work for New York city.
 MT. Sherwin testified that 1t was his understanding that Brindel expected one-half of l per cent of the total con- tract figure" He said he personally paid Brindel s500O last May, and that Brindel put the money in his pocket and gave Sherwin cigar A second payment of s2500 was made to Brin- del month ago. Sherwin added.
 He said his firm had not taken such fee into consideration in calculating it's bid and never before had paid labor leaders to prevent strikes. However he regarded such payment would be more in the nature of ''retainer's fec than bribe. He added that in justice to Brindel he wanted to say that the latter had proved useful" in adjust ing labor disputes.
