R. R TRANSP0RTA-
T|ON BIG QUESTION
Amount of Rail Road Receipts That
Go Into Labor. Belief That
Freight Rates Should Be Cut

Washington, April 5.-Presiden,
Harding will put the question of solv-
ing the railroad tangle up to Con.
EresS.
The President said the best inter
ests of the country demand that a
solution of the transportation troub-
les be reached Immediately and that
he will put the proposition up to Con-
gTeSS.
In his conference with newspaper
men after the Cabinet meeting Preso-
dent Harding talked frankly of the
effect on the country of the present
transportation situation. The condi-
ton, IT was said, was due largely to
the fact that the present rates on
merchandise are higher than traffic
VIII bear and is unfair to the Ameri-
can producer.
1t was pointed out that not only
are producers not shipping their pro-
duce because of the prohititive tariff,
but also that high rates actually dis,
Crlminate in favor Of the foreign prM
ducer. Under the present tarir
was said. a foreigner or " IN
can ship his goods TO New : - and
sell them cheaper than thC.2 Gnerican
producer can send his goods to New
York.
1t was called TO the attention of
the President that there is now
de1icit in operating costs of more than
100000. This is the sum re-

Cummins. CharIa:li of the Interstate
Commerce Committee, commenting
on discussion of the question by the
Cabinet. Rates cannot go higher
Expenses must come down. The
railroads obtained revenue to the
amount Of S6.25O 100000 during the |
past year. That was the greatest in |
their history. Reports show also they |
hauled the greatest voluU of traffic |
and the largest number of passeng-
ers in their history. They spent all |
of it except S10,O00.00O, or about |
One-tifteenth of / per cent. which is |
a negligible percentage of return.
Sixty per cent. of the operating
costs are for labor. This would
amount 10 S3,60O.0 100000 To reduce
wages 10 per cent. would give the
railroads S360.00O,0O0 more than
they have now, but the reduction

The news came to Grenada Tues
day morning by wire that Mr.. w. F

married that morning at the home OF
the latter's mother in Muskogee
Okla, where Mrs. Ellis has been re.
siding since she severed her connec-
ton with the Pressgrove Dry Goods

took many by surprise, however
there were a few besides the imme-
diate relatives Of the groom in Gre
NADIA who thought that what took
place was among the probabilities.
Mr.. Martin is one Of the substan-
tial citizens Of Grenada County He
was born and reared at Hardy and is
very properly regarded as one of the
strong forces in the county for good
and for all those things which the
moral and best thought of the COM
munity stands for. He has been
successful in business and happily
has that keen appreciation Of wo-
manhood which is assurance that he
will do well his part in the marital
contract.
Mrs. Martin came to Grenada from
Durant and during her residence
here, everybody learned TO esteem
and admire her for her exceedingly
gracious disposition and for the ex-
hibition of those lovely attributes
that never fail to please and that
show womanhood in all Of it's beauty
and excellence. The Sentinel joins
the friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
in congratulating them and in wish
in O. them 1ifo'S richest rau-ordc Thoy
will be in Hot Springs for several
days at the Majestic hotel, after
which they will be at home at MAR
four miles north west Of |
Grenada.
