RELIEF FOR RAILROADS,

The announcement of the Labor Board that wage schedules granted railway labor last July will be aDrogated July l, and scale put into effect aver aging twelve per cent. lower than the present one does not come as a surprise to those who have watched the trend of conditions during the past few months It had been freely predicted prior to the Boards announcement of its decision that the abro- grafton of last years agreements would be followed by fifteen per cent reduction. The basis for this prediction was found in the fifteen per cent reduc ton ordered by the Shipping Board
 It has been estimated that the national acree ments with their punitive charges for overtime and thelr reclassicatons of employees the railroads when operating at capacity approximately $500 900 ana reclassications are to be continued July Is yet to be Under increase in wages granted last year, $6O0,000000 added to the railroads financial burden If the first item is eliminated by the Labor Boards order, it with the $4OO 900 900 reduced wage bill, will not be far from the amount guaranteed the railroads annually while under Gov ernment control.
 The extended hearings given by the Board to both the railway executives and employees apparently showed that the roads entitled to relief On all sides there have been declines in prices Similar declines must be expected in the transportation n- dustry and have already as ocean traffic IS concerned The decline in railway wages should and probably does forecast a revision downward in Ieisht ana passenger rates. In August last year freight rates were fixed increase the rail passenger rates were increased almost 24 per cent in order to enable them to meet the increased op erathg costs Having wiped $4OO 900 900 from operating costs in wages alone is but reasonable to conclude that proportionate amount will he de ducted from rates

Toll Exemption Will Rob the Midwest.
Chicago Tribune. )

Senator Borah of Idaho and Senators Jones and Poindexter of Washington have sponsored the bills by which another attempt will be made in Congress to exempt American shipping from the Panama Canal tolls Borah would exmept coastwise shipping. Jones and PoindeXter would exempt all American shipping
 In 1913 Mir Wilson, arguing against exemption said that the international aspect of it serious good many things have changed in the world since then and doubt the United States put the interpretation it chooses the Treaty and hold that equal passage applies to all nations other than the United States We in the Mississippi Valley are con- terned with the domestic issue not the international
 American vessels using the Canal paid nearly $5,O000 900 last year in tolls. Exemption will mean that this amount will be remitted a subsidy to the producers and shippers of the Atlantic Pacific seaboard and used a of putting the Midwest shipper and producer to disadvantage
 The Mississippi Valley not exempt from the taxation upon which the Panama Canal rests The Midwest shippers and producers paid their money will continue to pay it, but it is insisted by the special coast interests that the Canal which nation built shall be converted nto commercial advantage to two politically powerful sections and into dis advantage to section seemingly negligible politically
 The inland producer cannot the prices which the coast producer, aided by transportation subsidy can make. The inland producer uses the rails and he meets water competition in which it is proposed that the Government should knock off the tolls in order that the cost of hauling may be reduced.
 The Michigan and Wisconsin automobile makers will not understand why the Government should their money and with it give transportation to the Eastern manufacturer and enable him to beat the mid Westerner to the Pacific market with lower price.
 The Middle West dairy products manufacturer will not understand why the Government should give transportation subsidy to Eastern products and open cheap carriage to markets with money which the Middle West helped to provide. Philadelphia railroad products will have this national subsidy Chicago equipment makers will help pay it to enable their rivals to beat them Illinois and Indiana steel will help pay the subsidy to Eastern steel Illinois watch makers will pay it to Eastern watch makers The clothes makers of Chicago will pay the freight for the clothes makers of New York
 The Midwest helped build the Canal With the tolls of it becomes the private property, commer- cally for the Atlantic and Pacific coasts It is an inequity which only powerful intersts could obtain Tor themselves. but if they do obtain H it will be without a fight. -3tf

AMERICA LEADING IN ART.

Americans familiar with foreign compliments of their vrility their strides in engineer ing and commercial achievements and in the practical application of the sciences, but now comes great French master who says the country is developing as the great center of the world Tn no country, v he says, have the people made such forward strides in the arts as the Americans, and today it would not be saying much give them first place. These the words of M. Benede, curator of the Luxem- bcurg Museum in Paris who has just returned to his home after an extensive of the United States, in the course which he visited of art galleries and many of the private collections and inspected many studios.
 Continuing his laudatory statement M Benedite said:
 America has made progress in art that
 is almost incredible
 The progress in American taste has been
 remarkable. Especially in the acquisition of
 masterpieces their permit them
 to have the very rarest and works in
 the best state of preservation.
 They have had time to study. They have
 studied little in France and very much in
 America, and they beyond the point
 where they have to seek the test of civliza-
 ton in Europe. It is in sculpture and in
 architecture that I have the greatest. t results Americans have achieved-results
 with sent-day materials iron, glass and
 concrete,s sor which have
 ples of remarkable beauty. Their museums,
 should make envious
 M. Benedite remarked he had seen some of the best examples of the French impressionst schools in America, and said Millet already was appreciated in America while he still unrecognized in France Benedite added that in all the schools where asked the students whom they preferred that he lecture about voices were almost unanimously in favor of 'Puvis de Chavannes, Rodin, Monet Millet Whistler Fantin Latour, Degas, and Dalous.'

 Hastings (Neb) Tribune. Be Your Own Weather Forecaster. An explanation of the recent cold spring is given by New York man who is his own weather prophet. The unreasonable weather comes from a natural cause, and could have been predicted. The vernal or spring equinox occurs on or about March 21. If during the ten days or two weeks following the equinox the pre- vailing wind is from the northwest, the weather will be cold for the en suing three months. If the weather clears in the South at the time of the equinox, the weather will be clear and dry for three months. If it clears in the northeast, it is go ing to be unsettled and uncertain The Summer solstice occurs on June 21, and this fool weather will change The Autumn equinox occurs Septem- Der 21, and the Winter Solstice De cember 21. Watch the wind and the weather on these dates, and you can predict the weather for the com ing three months.

Two Rig Featurcs AT Ditmas

so Long Lefty" the SlX-reel Rob-
ertson-Cole super-special produced
by the master comedy-drama pro-
Queer, Al Christie, will open at the
Ditmas theatre beginning today for
a run of three days. The film is a
screen adaptation OF the famous
Oliver Morosco comedy of the same
name, which for five solid years has
held" the theatre-going public of
the country.
The story deals with two newly
married couples who present a COM
bination of vastly different personal
tiles. One husband, a gay bird, has
married a girl who doesn't care a
fig for purple and fine linen and de-
votes most of her time to the prepa-
ration of excellently cooked meals
and the care of her home. The other
hubby, an honest to goodness home
loving chap. has placed the gold
band on the hand of a sveetie who
is strong for cabarets and the gay
and festive life and who can't boil
water without burning it.
The opening of the picture finds
the newlyweds as neighbors in a
sunny California town. The differ
ence in disposition o o brings dis
satisfaction on all sides with both
husbands and wives striving to con-
ceal their real feelings. The gay
dog wants his wife to spruce up like
the wife of his n%eighbor while the
n%eighbor wants his wife to don a
Bingham gown and practice up in
the old fashioned culinary art.
