10 PER CENT CUT
ON FARM PRODUCTS
Railroads 10 Try Lower Freight Rates
for Six Months Cut Does Not
Apply to New England.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-An immediate
reduction of 10 per cent in carload freight
rates on farm products, for a period of
six months, was agreed on yesterday by
executives Of the railroads of the United
States
In announcing the decision, Thomas
Dewitt Cuyler, president of the assOcia-
ton of railway executives, said that any
reductions in such rates made since Sept
/, 1920. We're to be included in the 10 per
cent and that it would be put into effect
without waiting for a reduction in wages.
The freight rate cut will apply through
out the entire country, except on traffic
moving wholly within New England.
1t was expected that the new rate
would be effective within 10 days. as the
railroads, it was said. had asked the in
ter>tate commerce commission. through
their general counsel. to authorize the
change on one days notice. The reduc-
ton will cost the railroads about 500
100000, it was estimated.
The executives passed a resolution to
the effect that in the event of disagree
menr between the railroad officials and
their employees in conference on wage re
auctions. the necessary steps under the
law would be to apply to the railway la
Dor board for quick action.

Roads, Schools and Churches.
Ell PASO, Texas, Nov. 1S.-One of
the largest migrations of Christian people
of modern history is that of about 2OO,-
900 Mennonites, $4,000 families, from
Canada to Mexico, which will begin in
December. Their trek is expected to last
two years.
The Mennonites for the past year have
been looking for new nome, claiming
unjust treatment III canada during the
World war. Eight nations have invited
them. Land "SharpS,' boomers and
others have tried to influence them.
After a dozen trips to Mexico. during
which representatives conferred with
President Aware ObregOn and officials of
the Mexican immigration service. state
and national governments assured the
Mennonites that they could worship God
as they pleased. that they could hold the
tcuets Of their religion and could enter
that country and make their permanent
home
Canadian Mennonites hold the same be

their belief. declared that they suffered
less in the early days at the hands of
the Indians than did others who waged
warfare against the savages.
The Mennonites still refuse to enter
any war
Another peculiar custom of these peo-
pie * the washing of feet. They say
that the command of Christ to the woman
to wash His feet stands on the same spir-
;tual level as His acts of distributing
food and drink to the hungry and thirsty.
To the Mpnnonites the story related by
St Luke is comparable to the ones other
Christians regard. including the sacra-
mcnt and communion.
