Unions Reiterate
Charges of Waste
Against Railroads

Chicago, April 27.-The rail-
way labor unions fighting wage
reductions before the railroad la
Dor board increased their charges
of waste and inefficiency on the
part of the railroad managements
by a quarter billion dollars to-
day. In supplemental exhibit
to that filed last week, setting
forth alleged waste of billion
dollars, the employees charge that
possible savings totalling $1,276,-
100000 could be effected by the
railroads if they would introduce
modern methods in maintenance
and operation Of the railroad in
dustry.
Under operating savings, the
exhibit quoted John E. Muhlfeld
before the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers as saying
that the annual losses in loco
motive operation and mainte-
nance seem to be due entirely to
the fact that the motive power of
our railroads is relatively obso-
lete, inadequate and inefficient"
Freight car performance, due
to inefficiency, leads to startling
deductions" the report contin-
ued, saying that a freight car
travels an average of only rs
miles a day, loaded about two
thirds of the time and that Sc
to z per cent Of all freight cars
are chronically unseryiceable. In
the western region the Union Pa
cific averaged sos miles a day
for each car and the Denver and
Rio Grande 17.6 miles.

Newspapers
To
Keep Rates
Warning of Future
Decentralization of
Paper Market Given
Publishers

New York, April 27.-Warning
against a. possible future democrat
| ization in the newsprint market.
T. R. Williams, president OF the
American Newspaper Publishers
association, in his address opening
the thirty-fourth convention of
that body, today told publishers
newspapers rates should not be al
lowed to descend. He urged upon
the newspaper publishers the need
of cooperating with government
forces in restoring world peace and
bringing business conditions back
to normally, and especially in re-
pealing unnecessary war time leg
islation and obnoxious features of
federal taxation laws.
He pointed out that newspapers
must meet the problems in mater
ial and labor since the average
contract price of newsprint for
the first six months of this year
was higher than the average con-
tract price for all last year and la
Dor is at the highest point known.
while the outlook in the news
print market may be regarded as
improving from the publishers
viewpoint" he said, "it has been
pointed out that the market may
become demoralized to such an ex-
tent that later in the year some
publishers may be tempted to make
reductions in subscriptions or ad-
vertising rates and throw down
the bars to all the old time waste
full practices and bad business
methods"
His suggestions for extending
the usefulness of the association
included the appointment of a
newspaper mechanical engineer to
increase mechanical efficiency,
and a legislative expert to super
wise legislation affecting newspa-
pers.

Then Herself

Chicago, April 27.-Miss jean
nette Hoy, stenographer, today
shot her former room mate, Miss
Catherine Davis, rs, a bookkeep-
er, while standing on a crowded
elevated line platform in the
downtown business section, then
ran into a cigar store and shot
herself. Both girls were taken to
a hospital where their condition
was said to be critical.
The shooting, witnessed by
hundreds Of persons ON their way
to work, was believed to have re-
suited from a recent quarrel which
caused the two girls to break a
friendship Of a year. Two days
ago Miss Davis received a letter
from Miss Hoy containing a bull
let. At Miss Davis instigation,
Miss Hoy was arrested on a
charge of disorderly conduct, but
was discharged.
