TRANSPORTATION ASKED FOR
BY UTAH G. IDAHO RAILWAYS -.
lntermountain Factories Are Assisting
In Regulating Shipments of
Beets; Production Reported
Very Satisfactory

Salt Lake-Adjustment of long haul
freight rates on sugar beets from
loading points in production centers
to sugar factories in Utah and Idaho
now being made by railroads supply
ing transportation facilities at the fac
tories is expected to regulate tnis sea-
sons run" at sugar factories through
out the mountain region. Shipment of
the beets began a few days ago and
within the next week or ten days is
expected to be in full swing.
An abundant production in certain
sections of the beet raising territories
and a rather slight crop in others
brought about situation which would
cause several factories to operate at
full capacity longer period than other
factories would be operated at mini
mum rate of production.
This has caused the sugar companies
TO request railroads to make rate ad-
iustments that will permit the ship
ment of beets from one production CEN
ter to Il distant factory where the pro-
duction has not been so great.
Suitable rate adjustments will per-
nit the sugar companies to commence
operation at factories in all sections
about the same time, operate the plants
on about the same basis and shut them
down simultaneously. This, 1t is ex-
planned, will mean the distribution of
the beets to several factory districts,
insuring a more rapid disposal of the
crop and avoid the possible loss of part
of 1t because of adverse weather con-
ditions. .s.- a.s U.s. 4af-:-
Application has already been made
state public utilities commission for
permission to reduce it's rates on sugar
beets from the Marshall district to the
Vest Jordan factory from IL cents
per hundred to cents per hundred.
The same application includes re-
quest to reduce the rate from the Mar
shall district to the Lehi factory from
10 cents per hundred to cents per
hundred.
Rate reductions now under consid-
eratios by traffic officials of the Ore
gon Short Line will provide that beets
nay be hauled 100 miles for 81 per ton
while the same rate up until this time
has been S1.62 IL. Other reductions
are for 150-mile haul, SIPS per ton,
while the cost heretofore has been
$1.ST IL; 200-mile haul, $3.50, hereto
ore S2.25, and 25O-mile haul, SITS,
heretofore $3.50 ....-.
The rates will effect only long haul
shipments of beets and zone rates
which are those applied to shipments
from established producing territory
surrounding each factory will remain
unchanged. ANY rate adjustments that
are made will be temporary, railroad
traffic officials said, and will auto,
maticaliy expire ON February %, 1872

Open SHOP PLAN
FOR CANAL ZONE
CHANGE IN ADMINS.
TRATIvE MACHINERY I'M THE
PANAMA CANAL ZONE
Secretary Weeks Commission Esti-
mates Annual Saving of S.
100000 by New Reoraani-
zation Plan

Thorough reorganiza-
ZION of the administrative machinery
In the Panama canal zone, with radi-
cal changes in existing policies af-
fecting employment of labor, physical
operation of the canal and railroad,
pay of employees and other important
subjects, is recommended in the pre-
iiminary report submitted to Secretary
weeks by the commission which recent
ty investigated conditions in the canal
zone at his request.
The commission estimates that an
annual saving of $5,o00,O00 would re-
suit from adoption of it's suggestion.
Chief among the recommendations
Is the governor of the canal zone be
directed "nOt to make agreements or
delstandings with the canal employ
es or any class thereof, for any per-
Iod of time, but that the wages be per-
LOGICALLY adjusted, In accordance with
the law, which bases the canal wages
on the pay of similar employees in the
government service in the United
States, and the governor shall mot
deal with labor organizations as or
CARNATIONS, but shall deal with COM
mittees of employees"
st Is further recommend" the re-
port says, "that the open shop prin-
ciple be actually put into effect on the
tsthmus and that in all departments
a substantial proportion of nonunion
men be employed"
Asserting that it has failed to find
anything to justify continued expendi-
ture of canal funds to maintain ma
val base at the canal, the report rec
Dmmends that operation of various ia
cilities for naval purposes cease i'm
mediately, and that hereafter the canal
be operated entirely as commercial
agency until congress shall otherwise
Indicate"
Finding the employment of United
States white citizens instead of natives
to be another item of expense, the
commission recommends that tropical
workers be employed ito the extent
possible, taking into consideration the
fact that the canal is, to certain point
IN element of national defense in which
aliens ought not to be employed"
"The commission firmly believes that
If the recommendations are adopted
the returns to the government will in
crease year by year and that within a
period of ten of fifteen years the canal
will return fair income on the in
vestment of the federal government
therein" but the report adds and es-
Inmates the total cost to date of the
canal at approximately $500OOO,OOO.
The commission was headed by
Brigadier General w. D. Conner, as
sistant chief of staff; Captain A. B.
Fry of the treasury department: F. A.
Molitor, New DIRK engineers, and Fl. r.
Wilson, New York banker and business
man.

AMERICAN CO. AND BRITAIN
international Marine President Tells
United States Shipping Board
British Agreement Not In
favorable to U. S.

New York--Operating agreements
between the International Mercantile
Marine company. an American corpor.
alton, and the British government, did
not affect the company's American
hagships, even before the drafting OF
a supplementary agreement requested
by the shipping board, p. A. s. Frank.
lin, president of the International Mer.
camille Marine, told members of the
board at a special hearing here Tues.
day.
The hearing was called to obtain
from Mr.. Franklin a recital of details
of the British agreement, which was
attacked by Senator Jones of Washing
ton before Its amendment as being In.
imical to the foreign commerce of the
United States Senator Jones charged
1t bound the company "to pursue no
policy injurious to the interests of the
British merchant marine or of Brit
ish trade"
The agreement, originally drafted in
1903, was sought by the company, Mr..
Franklin told the board, to offset ad-
vantages gained by the Cunard line
when the British government began
to build up that line by loans and ia
vorable mail contracts, following ae-
QUESTION of British tonnage by the
International Mercantile Marine. The
agreement gave the International Mer-
camille Marine the benefit of British
mail and other valuable contracts. He
denied that it had been kept secret
as charged by Senator Jones'"
During nineteen years of operat-
ing under these agreements" he con-
tinued, I'VE have never been interfered
with by the British government IN the
management of our ships, and no re-
straint of any kind has ever been
placed upon us.
During this entire period we have
had American fiagships in competition
with British ships and British flag.
ships which we own In strong and
continuous competition with the Gu,
nard and other British companies"
MIR. Franklin emphasized that the
| company was an American corpora
ton, 93h per cent of its stock being
owned by American citizens. Only one.
half of l per cent of the stock is
held by English investors, he said, and
similar amount by Canadians.
He asserted that, recognizing the
| development of national aspirations fol-
an American merchant marine, the
company began negotiations in 1918 tc
dispose of it's British fiagships to 8
British syndicate, but that the sale
was stopped at the request of Presi
dent Wilson.
Continuing, Mr.. Franklin reviewed
efforts of the company to buy thirty
four former German ships from the
United States for total of $28 ,500,00t
and said the company had offered tc
agree to keep the ships forever under
the American flag.

HISTORIC RELIC GOES IN FLOOD
First Postoffiee of San Antonio, Texas,
Destroyed

San Antonio, Tex.-Among old land
marks which disappeared partially with
the recent flood here, was the "Quinta,"
letter known as the first postoffice on
Dwyer avenue in this city. 1t was
built some 160 years ago, and ranked
with the Alamo in claim to more his
tOric events in the city's past.
The structure was stone. 1t stood
on the bank of the river, just across
the street from the courthouse. About
year ago it was condemned to be
RACED to make room for widening
Dwyer avenue, but before the order
was carried out the food started the
removal. The foundation crumbled
and one end and side of the building
is mass of ruins.
Deeds show the "Quinta" was built
IN 1851. In 1914 1t was confiscated by
Spanish general, who had sacked the
outpost, and was used as a prison for
more than 600 American women and
girls. who were forced to grind corn
and perform other labor.
1t next entered the limelight of Tex
as history when it was selected as the
first postoffice for San Antonio, about
1919. Then it was the property of
John Bowen, the first postmaster. 1t
remained in the family since. For the
past few years it was the home of sew
eral Mexican families and one or two
small business enterprises. The slots
cut in the massive doors in which to
drop letters remained until the last
