Canadian Pacific Road
Comes Into Terminal Zone
Will Pay $3,OOO,OOO for Two Lower Floors of
Building Under Way ON Madison Ave. From 43d
to 44th ST.; Will BE Named After Big Company

For the purpose OF centralzing it's
New York representation to make it
more effective. in line with "a more
energetic policy, the Canadian Pacific
has taken a twenty-one years. lease
on the first two floors and the base
ment of the twenty-one- story build
ing nearing completion on the west
side of Madison Avenue, from Forty
third Street to Forty fourth Street.
The deal was consummated yesterday,
when +. w. Beatty, president of the
company, signed the lease. Occupa-
tion will begin May 1st. The aggre-
gate rental is $3,000000. Tbs build
ing will be known when completed as
the Canadian Pacific Building.
heretofore there have been as many
as five separate Offices of the company
in New York City and this has entailed
a. great deal of duplication of effort.
The new move will bring together the
passenger departments of both rail and
shipping interests, lands, colonization
and development, as we'll as the
various allied services, which are a
part of the United States representa-
ton located here.
Transportation competition, it Is
argued, will be keen in the coming
years and to prepare for this the
Canadian Pacific is not only speeding
up its steamers on both Atlantic and
Pacific, but is moving to get it's share
of the immigration business. New
York is regarded as a strategic point.
The space taken over under the
lease will not be used exclusively by
the Canadian Pacific. 1t is proposed
to make it a transportation center, and
to this end negotiations are under way
with many other transportation in
terests to get them located in the same
building. Many have signlfied heir in
tention of this, but at the present no
announcements will be made.
The offices affected are the Canadian
Pacific raii and ocean passenger Of
fees at Thirtieth Street and Broad
way, lands, colonization and develop-
ment department, library and press
bureas at 1870 Broadway, and the
theatrical ticket agent at Forty y-sixth
Street and Broadway. The freight de-
partment will maintain it's Offices in
the Woolworth Building.
With the Canadian Pacific will be
associated its subsidiaries, the St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Sault Ste. Marie; /;
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic and
other smaller lines.

Senate Inquiry Likely
On Rail Wage Dispute
La Toilette Suggests Roads
Financial State Might BE,
Traced to Their High Ru,es

+ rom me 1Ttoanes washington Baredu
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-strong in
dlcation was given to-day that unless
the difficulty which has arisen between
the railroads and their employees over
the movement of the roads for reduc-
ton OF wages is cleared up speedily
there will be a demand in CONGRESS-
for an investigation.
senators on the Interstate Commerce
Committee to-day made it plain thev
arc watching the situation. They are
interested keenly in the application of
the railroad executives to the Railway
Labor Board for repeal of the national
wage agreements with the brother
hoods.
Senator Miles Poindexter. of Wash
ington, who is on the Interstate Com
merce Committee, received telegram
, 1rcm brotherhood representatives in
Chicago asserting the roads could save
more than $300,00O,0oO in waste by
proper management, and calling for a
Congressional investigation, which, the
employees represent, will show the
declarations of the carriers are de-
ceptive.
Senator Poindexter has made no
move yet, but he is studying the situa-
ton.
President Wilson, it was learned at
the White House, received q similar
message from the brotherhood chiefs.
1t was said that he was considering
the matter.
Senator La Toilette, OF Wisconsin. a
member of the Interstate Commerce
Committee, said tonight that the sub
Ject deserved thorough considerations
He said he was tied up temporarily on
+he Calder coal bill hearings, but as
soon as he could do so he intended to
examine closely into the railroad facts
He is expected to call for an inquiry
if one is not initiated by some other
Senator.
THE whole trouble is" said Senator
La Toilette, that the railroads under
the new transportation law, in their
greed, have overreached themselves.
They have raised their rates SO high
hat traffic cannot bear it, and there
fore is restricted. At the same time
they are expending tens of millions for
supplies on favored companies which
they ought not to spend. Under such
conditions they want to cut the wages
of the employees"
Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, Democrat
and prominent on the Interstate Qrm-
merce Committee, said he was muck in
terested in the wage agreement devel-
opments.
"The subject has not come up liz the
. Interstate Commerce Committee thus
far" he said. 81 cannot say now what
course ! will take with regard to it
and whether an inquiry will be sought.
J am, o: course, very much interested in
the DEVELOPMENTS. The situation seems
a serious one"
Senator Cummins, who is chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Commit
tee, is in Florida with Presdent-elect
Harding. In his absence Senator
Townsend, of Michigan, is the ranking
member.
Action in Congress might take the
form of an inquiry in committee as to
whether railroad rates are driving
away business and whether the roads
are conducting their affairs wastefully,
or it might call on the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the Railway
Labor Board for all the facts.

OF Roads Situation
C., VI. & 81. Paul President
Declares That Wage Agree-
mcnf Must Be Abrogafed

H. L, Byrsm, president Of the Chi
cage, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad,
holds that abrogation of wartime rules
and working conditions is the first nee
essary step to which labor must con-
sent in etfecting economies for the rail-
roads. He says, in statement tele-
graphed The Tribune from Wabasha,
Mimi, yesterday, in response to re-
quest, that the government promised
TO return the railroads to thait owners
in as good condition as when they were
be fulfilled by the sbrogation of the
agreements.
His statement follows:
The necessity for reduction in rail-
road operating expenses is imperative.
rev railroads are earning their fixed
charges under present conditions and
many are not earning operating ex-
penses. In addition to the high wage
scale, railroads are burdened with rules
and working conditions imposed as a
result of the war which are expensive
and tend to prevent efficiency, For in
stance, the abolition of piecework and
oonus overtime payments, The cost of
railroad labor has more than doubled
since before the war. while railroad
freight and passenger rates have been
Results of the last four months
show clearly that the railroads cannot
earn the return contemplated by the
transportation act under present condi-
tons. The business situation will not
permit further increase in rates, and
expenses must therefore be reduced.
This can be done by reducing the rate
of pay or by eliminating burdensome
working conditions acquired during
the war. 1t seems better to first elimi-
nate wartime conditions and see II
economies thus effected will make it
unnecessary to reduce the rate of
wages, which we all wish to avoid.
The government promised to re-
turn the railroads to the owners in as
good condition as when they were
taken over, and we ask that this prom
Use be fulfilled by restoring rules and
working conditions which were in eff
feet December 81, 1917, which were
largely the result of mutual agree
ment between the railroads and the
men, but not to disturb rates Of pay at
present, except for unskilled labor,
which shoulds be paid the prevailing
rate in various sections Of the coun-
try,
THE situation is critical and imme-
date action is necessary. Expenses
must come down, and we think it
would be better eliminate burdensome
wartime working conditions before
considering reductions in rates of pay
No hardship or injustice would be in
CURED in returning to working condi-
tions prevailing before the war and
applying for the present the existing
rates to these conditions"

The Woman
Observer
A DRASTIC DOSE.

Having herself long rebeled at
being called "Dearie" by a honey
voiced saleswoman, The Woman
knew how to sympathize with the
timid young girl who was attempt
ing to purchase a hat under trying
conditions. The Woman. trying on
one of the new midseason satin
shapes. listened to the irritating
dialogue.
The big, blond saleswoman. all
bright smiles and pet names, was
obviously trying to make sale,
and 1t was evident that she didn't
particularly care whether or not
she sold her customer an unbecom-
ing hat.
Now this henna hat looks SIM
ply adorable on you" she gushed,
as she pressed looking
creation down upon the soft blond
hair of the girl.
But i don't care for henna, and
/ wish a small hat. with turned
up brim." objected the girl.
We'll. how's this one. Dearie?"
asked the clerk, bringing forth
theatrical concoction of gold lace.
jade satin and dangling tassels.
It's too dressy," timidly an
nounced the girl. "rd like some
thing more conservative-with .
turned-up brim, you know"
GWell. how's this, Grille. dearT
burhled the blond, displaying
mouse colored hat. I'm sure you'll
like it, It's so refined" That, ap-
plrcntly was the last straw. The
girl whirled about and faced the
clerk. There was an odd twinkle
in her eye. Then she said: II
amt refined and / don't want no
refined hat. Bring me a coarse
lookin' one. That'll suit me fine"
you're trying to kid me-"
gasped the blond. and there was
no "Dearie" this time. "I guess /
better let you pick out your own
hat"
Thanks" responded the girl.
That's a bargain" When the de-
lighted Woman left the store the
girl was wandering from table to
table in search of hat to suit
herself and not the blond clerk.
