Southern Traffic League Be.
lieves Roads Are Recovering
Their Normal Earnings.
ENTITLED TO FAIR GAIN
League Council Tells Commerce
Commission South Is Not
Trying to Injure Lines

Washington. June i2.-Southern rail-
roads are asking freight rate increases
as great as the law contemplates iI
their application for a 81 per cent ad.
vance, NJ. NJ. Caskie, OF Montgomery
Ala. today told the interstate commerce
commission in behalf OF the Southern
traffic league. Some increases, how
ever. are necessary, the league conced-
ed.
Mr.. Caskie presented figures TO show
that the earnings actually being re.
ceived by the railroads OF the South
at the present time are much greater
than the carriers estimate. So far dur
ing 1920 he declared Southern lines
have been rapidly recovering their
normal earnings while the petitions OF
the carriers were based entirely on the
unfavorable showing for the year 1919
Carriers of the South nevertheless
are entitled to the fair return the law
assures them, c. E. Cotterill of Atlan-
Ia. general counsel for the league. con-
tended.
In showing TO tie commission that
the lines OF the South are not entitled
to what they are asking for. Mr.. Cot
terill stated the Southern Traffic
league is mol seeking TO hold the earn
ings OF those lines down below the
fair return which the new law assures
them
"On the contrary, the Whole difficult
ty with the carriers case Is that they
have completely ignored thc actual re-
suits OF operation for this year and are
still relying upon the unfaVOrable re-
suits OF operations in 1919 We re-
joice in the recovery OF earnings by
Southern lines during the present year
and share their pride in the achieve
mcnt.
Should conditio ons hereafter arise 10
change the present tendencies the rail-
roads in the south need fear no an
tagonistic attitude toward them BY
Southern shippers. For the present,
however. 1t cannot fairly be contendeo
by the Southern carriers that they re-
quire anything like the percentage Of
Increased rates petitioned for. As IL
the carriers in the north. they have
made their case"

LABOR TO VAR
ON REPUBLICANS
Strong Resolutions Accusing
Party of Turning It's Back
on Unions Adopted.

Montreal, June 12.-Amid tremen-
dous applause. the American Fedora
tion of Labor at its annual conven-
tion here today adopted a report con-
demning the republican convention in
Chicago for turning it's back on Ia
bora is adopting its platform.
During the reading of the report,
presented by Samuel Gompers and
Matthew VOL, president and vice
president of the federation. various
sections of republican planks criti-
cised by the labor leaders were Kissed
while their critics received applause
The report was ordered printed and
distributed to organized labor. 1t as
serted that the labor declaration of
the republican platform proposes an
industrial enslavement and an abro-
cation of rights as precious as life
itself" and that it denied the right to
strike.
Mr.. Gompers announced that the ex-
ecutive council has directed that !.
boris demands submitted to the repub-
fican convention be presented in iden-
tical form to the democratic national
convention.
The Mexican plank of the platform,
the labor leaders charged aims to un-
der1nine the sovereignty of the Mex
lean people and to make the mainten-
ance of order in Mexico the business
of the government of the United
STATES. 1t proposes the fuifillent OF
what have long been the hopes and
aims of those whose sole object is the
exploitation of the people and bound
less resources of Mexico" according to
the labor chiefs.
The republican endorsement OF the
transportation act of 1920 was decalred
to be "a complete denial and repudi-
alton of the demands submitted by
labor and is an emphatic endorsement
of the labor provisions of the Cum
minis -Esch railroad act
The section of this plank referring
to peaceful arbitration of wage dis
putes' was said to be denial of the
lawful right of the workers to cease
working

the Russian people. Yet Russia has
always been one of the biggest food
exporting nations in the world.-Edi-
tor.
BY n. p. Burton.
New York, June 1--WE do not
deny that the situation in Russia is
bad. extremely bad, but the bolshe-
vik regime is not decaying and will
never decay!"
This is the statement of Ludwig A.
K. Martens, representative of soviet
Russia here, after he had read the
first cable dispatch of Correspondent
j. Herbert Duckworth who has just
completed an independent tour of boil
shevik Russia for this newspaper.
When food conditions and other
living conditions in Russia are dis
cussed," said Martens, st must be re-
membered that Russia has been block
AIDED for 1-2 years and that. in addi-
ton, the nation has been constantly
fighting.
Ac al a. ~.
Duckworth speaks Of it is a fact tha 4
the present terrible epidemic Of ty-
phus raging in Russia originated from
the tens of thousands of corpses eft
unburied by Kolchak and DeniAin.
Russia today has only about 20 per
cent of the 10000 locomotives she had
when the war began, and every avail
able one of these is being used for
military purposes.
In the cities. however. the gov
ernment gives everyone a ration suf-
ficient to prevent hunger. The only
persons who do not receive this ration
are those who refuse to work.
L say to Duckworth that the people
of Russia today are far better fed than
hose of Central Russia and Poland.
'Duckworth is ridicuIously wrong In
his assertion that bolshevik govern
ment is decaying. On the contrary, il
grows stronger day by day. The peo-
pie are cold. and are often hungry in
the great cities, but they fully realize
their government is not to blame. but
that the condition is caused by the |
blockade. They know they have the !
best possible government in the world. |
II say to Duckworth: the bolshevik |
government will never decay"
Duckwortl's s cabled facts have been /
confirmed by Washington officials /
who are in closest touch with condi-
lions in Russia, by reports Of Bolshe-
vik officials and printed in Soviet
Russia" and by the testimony of 500
