Railway Company
Motorizes Equipment
LOWER COAST RAILWAY INAUG-
URATES NEW SYSTEM FOR
PASSENGER TRAFFIC.

The long looked for chassis and
motor for the new motor-car service
of the New Orleans Lower Coast
Railway has arrived, and workmen
are now busily engaged in placing
the body of the car, which was con-
structed here, upon the chassis, ready
for operation.
Mr.. Hall of the company states
that they expect the new service to
be in operation within fifteen days.
The car, as presently constructed
will carry thirty-six passengers be
sides having a small portion for ex-
press and baggage. 1t will be used
exclusively for passenger traffic and
will make stops only at four or five
stations on the road. The motor is
of sufficient capacity to carry sew
eral trailers. From experience in
the North and Eastern cities, where
gasoline is used instead of steam To-
comotives, the success has been so
pronounced that many of the roads
ire being equipped with these mo-
tors. 1t goes without saying, that
the travelling public of the Grand Isle
will welcome with open arms these
great improvements.

The Wonders Of America
By 7. 7. MAxEY
OUR NATIONAL CAPITOL.

IT is but fitting that America-the
1 greatest nation in all the world
should have the finest capitol building
on earth. The architectural beauty of
our national capitol building at Wash
ington Is most impressive and, for CAPT.
tol purposes, it is said to surpass
every other building in the world.
The base of this immense, SYM
metrically shaped and imposing edifice
rests on a level plateau, at an eleva-
ton of 81 feet above the historic Po-
tomac river. The building faces the
east and is about one mile distant
from the White House. The corner
stone Of the original structure, which
comprises the central portion of the
present building and is of Virginia
sandstone. was laid by President Wash
ington on September IS, 1793-125
years ago. Later, when 1t became
necessary to enlarge the building, two
additions or wings, Of Massachusetts
marble, were added. President Fill
more laid the corner stone; Daniel
Webster was the orator. These wings
were burned by the British in 1914, but
were restored. The original building
was completed in 1927.
The present structure is 751 feet
long and $50 wide. 1t covers three
and one-half acres. The central por-
ton is surmounted by one of the most
graceful, pleasingly shaped and mas
sive domes in the world. This dome Is
2S7 feet high. 1t was completed In
1855. 1t weighs more than 100000
pounds and is topped by statue Of
Freedom almost 20 feet high.
The total value of the building and
grounds is estimated at S25. 100000.

WILL NOT CUT
WAGES AT PRESENT
Over $4,000 Cotton Mill Operatives As
sured of Scale in Force Past Six
MOnths-Others Keep Up Wages.

FALL RIVER, Mass. Nov. 10
Wages of the $4,000 operatives in the
cotton mills here will remain at the scale
that has been in force for the past six
months. according TO an agreement
preached by representatives of the manu-
facturers and employees today. The
agreement was the result of several con-
ferences and is regarded of more than
local significance. The outcome of their
deliberations here has been awaited with
interest as possibly pointing the way Of
manufacturers and unions elsewhere.
As announced by James Tansey. presi-
dent of the American federation of textile
operatives. it provides that there shall
be no change in the wages rate beginning
Dee. 6 until a further conference takes
place, said conference to be called by
either party"
The reference to Dec. 6 is to the time
of the expiration of the present six
months agreement under which wages
are at the highest point in the history of
the industry representing. it is said, an
advance of more than $50 per cent over
the pre-war rate.
