Chlrsso Tribune Omaha lee leased Wire.
Washington. Sept. IA proposal
that the railroads reduce freight
rates on grain and hay IS per cent
and that railroad labor agree TO a
cut OF 5 per cent in wages to make
the rate reduction possible was SUBJ
mit,ed by Clifford Thorne OF Chi
cago, general counsel OF the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation. in ar
gument before the Interstate COM
mercc commission in the grain and
hay rate investigation.
After declaring that after every
great war period OF decline in
prices has inevitably developed and
that in the struggle TO prevent the
lowering OF charges. the agricultural
industry has been the weakest while
the railroad industry has been the
strongest, Thorne said the agricul-
tural industry must reduce costs to
the prewar level.

rates on grain and hay.
Counsel for railroads present said
obviously they could not reply to the
question. Thorne asserted that the
vice president OF one important west
crn railroad approved the PROPOSE
ton.
Conditions Intolerable.
The conditions in the agricultur-
II industry are intolerable," assert.
I'd Thorne, "and one of the princi-
pal factors helping to produce this
is the excessive transporta-
ton burden resting upon agricul-
ure. And yet the railroads claim
hey are nor making what the law
allows and they say they cannot

without reduction in wages. On
he other hand. railroad labor is
thoroughly opposed to any reduc-
ion in wages. There is a contro-
'ersy as to; which tribunal has jur-
sdiction over the combined issues

state Commerce commission goes,

Poor Food Led
To Jail Break,
Prisoner Says
Women May Start Probe Fol
lowing Assertion Of Nc
Laughlin, Who Asserts
Tools Within Reach.

Lincoln, Sept. Especial THE
last thing Harold Mclaughlin said
before being taken to Omaha for
sakekeeping, after being captured
following his sensational escape with
eight other prisoners from the Lam
caster county Jail, was that part OF
the boys" left more because OF
abominable food served than any,
thing else,
1t has started talk OF an investi-
cation OH by women interested in
social service clubs. These women
haven't forgotten that a big lobby
of Nebraska sheriffs appeared before
the legislature last winter and
pushed through bill increasing sus-
tenance money for county prisoners
from 50 to Is cents a day, in all
counties except Douglas, where the
sheriff is given SO cents a day Tor
feeding each prisoner.
One of the men who escaped
went to the home Of sister, got
a square meal, according to- report,
then called the sheriff and told that
official where he was and to send
a car out for him. He is liable to |
to 10 years in the penitentiary for
the meal given him by his sister
under new law which makes an es-
capped prisoner liable to an extra sem
tence. y
Mclaughlin also laughingly told
officers that a tool chest from which
they took tools to effect their es-
cape had been left only a few feet
from the cell bars by the sheriff. A
bi oomstick enabled them to coax it
rear enough to get the tools.
Investigation revealed that IL pris-
oners have escaped from the Lam
caster Jail since Ira Miller has been
sheriff.
