Reversal In steeragc.

The records show a complete reversal
In steerage travel during the last month.
The count for three weeks ago showed
$500 entering this country third class
and s,400 leaving for two weeks ago
Il showed 5000 coming and 5000 leav-
ing and last week J. 900 left this port
and $4,000 entered steerage.
The comparatively small number OF
lsborinB foreigners returning to their
native lands is accounted for by the be-
lief that they are not certain of being
allowed 70 return once they get home.
and fearful that the door may be shut
against them here are remaining al
though they are out of work and In
normal times would be rushing toward
Europe as fast as they could get there.
The big figures in the tables showing
the tremendous third class travel in the
spring OF 1914 are explained by the
war. Thousands were going to join their
coiors and other thousands were fleeing
home from the war danger. The heavy
nrst class traffic Of that year was due
IN part TO the rush OF all Americans to
got home before the war broke

More Vessels In Commission.

Indications are that Transatlantic
passenger travel this year will not be
as heavy as last. but IT must be re-
membered that 1920 was abnormal" W.
M. Je1feries. passenger traffic manager
of tho International company said.
There was an exceptionally heavy
demand for passage during the nrst six
months last year. at which time there
was a shortage OF vessels. That re-
suited In long waiting lists and spread
the heavy demand over longer period
than Is the case usually There are IN
commission this year a. greater number
of passenger vessels and there IL n pros
pect Of the return to service within a
few weeks OF some OF the German
steamers which have been deconditioncd.
But the total carvings for the year may
he below the average figures OF pre-war
days, due 10 unsettled business condl-
tions and the absence " what IS known

passage from May Is to July is viii

STEERAGE HAS REVERSAL

STEERAGE HAS REVERSAL

In the rash of travel to Europe now
taxing the capacity of the hundred or
more transatlantic steamships ship
ping men see evidence of the efforts
OF the business world of both conti-
nents to read1ust international eco
nomic affairs as quickly as possible.
The distinctive feature of the heavy
ocean traffic Just starting is that while
the tourists are relatively smaller in
numbers than last year the number of
business men making hurried trips be
tween the United States. England and
the Continent is exceptionally large
Sightseers on Decrease.
Fewer sightseers are going to visit the
battlefronts In France than went last
year. but more persons engaged in in
ternatlonal commerce in it's varied
phases are making the trip back and
FORTH spending little time sightseeing
but looking after their banking and
business interests. This drift of ocean
traffic again demonstrates how closely
are interviewer the economic affairs or
England and the Continent with Amer
fcas.
During the first two and a half or
three months this year there was a fall
ing Off in passenger travel to Europe as
compared with the same period last
year. But in the last few weeks there
has been a decided increase and the
bookings on all the big steamships are
heavy up to the middle of July. The
ocean traffic will be equal If not larger
than last years during May. June and
July.
The total for the first four months
this year leaving this country was 133.-
600 and last year was 125, 5000. but the
big gain was in steerage travel. The
number coming to America by steerage
has doubled in that period over last
year
Considering the facts that there. now
are only about 100 first class passenger
steamers on the water highways. as
compared with IT'S in 1914 shortly be-
fore the war broke. and that the cost
OF travel is fully double what it was
at that time, the big travel now in
progress Is regarded by shipping men as
remarkable. In 1914 and again last
year tourist travel was exceptionally
heavy in the springs and summers.
All the big steamships are booked
fun for the next few weeks. The dozen
big ships OF the International Mer-
camille Marine, the eight passenger
ships of the French Line. the Cunard
ships. those of the Holland Line and
Of the score OF other lines operating
from one to three steamships are all
doing heavy business. There are now
twenty-six companies operating The
Olympic Is sold out through June, the
Adriatic up to her first July trip. the
Cedric and Celtic through June and
the others are about the same. The
bookings generally are for returns after
relatively short stays on the other side.
The actual count of passengers travel
ling both ways in 1914. last year ano
this year shows how steady is the in
ternational traffic. The outgoing traffic
for these three years from January to
May s each year in first. second and
third class accommodations was as fol-

II Moves to Political Necessities.

discussed =,
On this point the writer has had an
interesting interview with Col. Mau-
rice Moore. Col. Moore is one of the
life, His father was George Henry
Moore. great Irish land reformer in
the middle OF the last century His
Drother George has enshrined the
colonel in one of his most brilliant
novels. Maurice commanded the Con-
nau1ht Rangers in the Boer war and,
though very active in the hunt after
Gen. De Wet, was known to- have
strong pro-Boer sympathies.
Leaned Toward sinn Fefn.
After his retirement from the reg
ular army he was chief of stan Of
the Irish volunteers when they were
q united body. mainly Influenced by
Jonn T.. Redmond. Later on he gravi-
tated toward the Sim Fein and.
though not republican. he was ar
rested by Gen. Macready's orders for
,, the the onense Of possessing copy Of
me irim Bulletin, the Sim F'ein Of
neia! organ, and WIS driven through
Dublin in military lorries as a host
age against Sim Fein attacks. His
Imprisonment proved embarrassing to
MS captors, as he insisted on all his
rights as a colonel under the kings
llesula tions. ,As this was a nuisance
ne was set free. The colonel asked
Tor an apology and Gen.. Macready's
sole reply was that he ought TO be
ashamed Of himself.
Col. Moore has an active political
MIND MIN and is keenly interested in
bringing about an Irish settlement
HIS views are typical of those Of
many Irishmen who. though not re-
publicans. sympathize with the sinn
Fein and want all the freedom Ire
land can get. He has been in corre-
spondence with Gen. Smuts on this
subject and pressed upon that states
man the feasibility and desirabilfty Of
finding a solution Of the problem in
the repeal of the union. Col. Moore
SAID to the correspondent:
EQUALITY of statehood with Eng
Iand is foreign to the very name do

This stood the trial of the great war

interference OF the victorious allies.

iano, with King George as king of Eng
,and and an independent Ireland. with
King George as king Of Ireland, the two
kingdoms to be quite separate, with
sovereign rights within their own
boundaries and without having the right
OF interference with each other. In Eng
land King George would act on the ad-
vice OF his English ministers, and in Ire
land he would act on the advice of his
Irlsn ministers: Then De Valera would
probably be the next lord lieutenant.

DUBLIN. September With
Eamonn Do valera's reply to Prime
Minister Lloyd George universally ex-
pected to be an acceptance OF the
request to send negotiators to Inver-

credit this suggestion that Lloyd

THE MOFFAT ROAD MAY
BECOME THROUGH LINE.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Developments of
the last few days make it practically
certain that the Denver & Salt Lake
railroad, generally known as the Moffat
road, will become Link in transcon-
;inental system that will put Denver
on direct short line with one terminus
at Chicago and the other at Oakland.
The Burlington will be the main fac
tor in swinging the deal, although it is
possible that the final arrangements will
include the Rock Island. The project
calls for construction of tunnel thrc
the main range, either under James
Peak, as projected by the builders of
the Denver & Salt Lake, or at another
point. Either will mean short line
connecting the eastern with the western
portions of Colorado, and therefore a
new transcontinental railroad.
The purchase recently of the Denver
& Rio Grand railroad by bondholders
and controlling the Western Pacific was
the first step In creating the new sys-
ten. Acquiroing control of the Denver
X Salt Lake is the second step. Con-
struction of the tunnel and cutoff
connecting the two railroads will mean
the completion Of the project
While many obstacles remain to be
overcome, legal and financial, men high
in the coucils of western railroads here
consider the progress made in recent
days assurance that the deal will 20
through. They say that it may require
a number of months of adjusting before
actual construction can begin, but those
in position to know assert that only
some unforeseen obstacle can prevent
final carrying out of the plan.

"Now, there are two things that
would prevent man being held in that
employment against his will-one is the
article of the Constitution which

vision in the anti-strike bill, which I
will read to you. Here is what it says:
Nothing in this act shall be taken to
deny to any individual the right to quit
his employment for any reason
''Isn't that plain enough
"Well, then, what is the law for 20
asked Ruth. 81 thought the bill said
the men mustn't quit
"Oh, no, it doesn't say anything of
he kind,'' responded Uncle Ted. "The
bill says that it shall be unlawful for
any man to solicit or induce other men
to quit their employment on interstate
| railroads, or for any man to obstruct
or delay the movement of commerce,
or for any man to use force or threats
to prevent other men from engaging

"You see, boiled down to few
words, the anti-strike bill says to the
railroad employees, ATTEND to your own
business and let other peoples business
alone If they don't like their jobs
they can quit and look for better ones
but they must not interfere with the
enjoyment of the same right by other
people. The railroads are what we call
public service concerns, because the
entire public depends upon them. The
railroad employees have entered sort

the public not to conspire to leave thc

that the public has dealt very fairly

public will not suffer because of inter

sHALE OIL SUPERIOR TO
PENNSYLVANIA CRUDE

DE BEQUE, Jan. 4.@Sixteen dollars
n barrel offered for shale oil, while the
highest posted price for the best grades
of oil produced from wells in the mid
continent field-North Texas, Oklahoma
and Kansas is only $3.50 barrel,
and Pennsylvania crude bringing $3.50,
shows part of the possibilities in the
way of profits to be made in produuc-
ton of oil from shale.
j II. Ginet, inventor of the successful
Ginct process for making oil from shale,
stated this week in DeBeque that he is
offered that price for all the shale oil
he can produce. AS shale oil is coming
into great favor for use in dressing ores
by the flotation process, the price OF
$l6 a barrel is not out of proportion
when compared with quotations on other
fiotation oils Chemical and Metallur-
gical Engineering, in its issue of De.
cember %, quotes the lowest priced flo
tation oil at 80 cents a gallon. This
is equivalent to $14.7O for barrel Of
AZ gallons, while the highest priced flo
tation oil is quoted at $1.90 gallon.
A the most conservative estimtes as
to the cost of producing shale oil do
not exseed SO to 81 barrel, it can
easily be figured that enormous profits
will be the reward of those who engage
in the manufacture of shale oil.
