The Contest Closes Jan. 26th., Winners?
We Understand

That the demand for a reduction
of transportation rates is having
such an effect that the railroads are
beginning to realize that something
will nave to be done very soon.
Conferences are being held In
Washington to meet the situation,
and as usual the only way the
railroads can bring this about Is
another reduction of wages"
Suppose the railroad employees
were in a position to make similar
demands and insist upon reduction
OF salaries of the high officials of the
railroad companies, and that they
be brought down in the same pro.
portion as that now being received
by the operating employees-would
it not be that some "howl" would be
put up and some other means
brought about to allow reduction
OF freight rates other than that OF
reduction in wages9
1t is claimed that the earnings
OF the railroads now, especially those
OF the western states are grester no W
than they have been for years. 1t is
also claimed that some of the rail.

the traffic that their present motive

In full time-there being spirit of
comradship among the men that
their brothers must exist and to allow
that lay off, in order that their fel.
low brothers may work in their
place and thus keep the wolf from

If wages are reduced it will be

FREIGHT RATES
ARE DISCUSSED
j. G. Ross Speaks on Freight
Rates to Chamber of
Commerce.

Under auspices of the chamber of
commerce Tuesday noon, j. c.
Ross of Lansing gave an address
explaining the Michigan freight
rate case. Mr.. Ross is traffic man
ager of the Lansing chamber of
commerce and a member of the
committee in charge of the Mich
igan rate case.
Mr.. Ross outlined the history of
the case from the time when rates
were first increased in 1917. Mich
igan was not adequately represent
ed when increases were made,
prior to the organizing of the
Michigan Traffic league and conse-
-quently the manufacturers Of this
state were Disseminated against.
The state was divided into zones
with higher freights in the north
ern part. Higher rates are effec-
tive in Michigan than in any other
state east of the Mississippi. With
such rates in effect Michigan
manufacturers cannot compete
with those in Ohio, Indiana or
Wisconsin. Goods can be shipped
from Chicago, Minneapolis or Du-
luth to the upper peninsula much
cheaper than from Michigan cities.
Manufacturing interests in neigh
boring states are joining with the
railroads in the fight to keep Mich
igan freight rates high.
Excessive freight rates are felt
by everyone in the state. Prices
of imported articles are increased
by the high rates even to a pair of
shoes, wages also tend to be low
err because of the smaller mar
gin Of profit possible.
The Michigan Manufacturing
association is supporting the Traf-
fic league in the fight for lower
rates. The case will come before
the interstate commerce commits
sion and the Michigan traffic
board in joint session. sometime in
March.
Mr.. Ross appealed to the Owosso
chamber of commerce to cooperate
with the Michigan Traffic league
in the matter. A committee will
be appointed to act, of which Fred
Woodard will be chairman.
H. X. White, president Of the
Owosso chamber of commerce, ap-
pointed other committees as fol-
lows: Advertising and charity
committee, E. M. Thome. r. L.
Chase, A. E. Osmer, w. r. Good

that society. Despite the lack of
support of members of that organizs-

effort Mrs. Cooper has held her own.

Cooper are aware she never starts
anything she cannot finish.
Miss Isladell VanZandt of Cor

holding her own. Miss VanZsndt is
desirous of finishing her education.
and prize if won will be applied to
that purpose.
There are some at the bottom of
the list among whom it appears
there will be a struggle to see who
draws the BOBBY prize. Seems
strange that when there is q prize
we'll within reach that will require
but little effort to secure, no oattempt
is made to g. asp it. Then too they
may ring in surprise.
AS whole the biggest opportunity
in life time is before each candi-
date. Any one of those listed eau

test is over lot of explaining will
have to be done by the tail g, ders, !"

few words, "lack Of ambition"

be.
Some very good work ia being
done but all those who are desir.
GUS of being possessor of the Auto,
Piano or other prizes will have to
speed up. 1t is question now with
svery candidate listed as to whether
they are going to be prize winner
or commission worker.
The public is watching the pro.
gress of each and every candidate
They are expecting their favorite to
win and unless some of the candi.
dates show more ambition than they
have. there will have to be quite q
little explaining done as to why they
did not show more pep.
Today's schedule shows Miss Mar.
garet O'Connor in the lead. Miss
O'Connor jumps from eighth place.
She has been away for the holidays
and the fact that she has returned
and on the job is evidenced from the
increase in her standing.
What can be accomplished by per.

Mrs. Blume in their figuring.

of the r. r. unions and is receiving
good support from the union mem
bers.
Miss Sadie Cooper holds fourth
place. Miss Cooper was little late
in entering contest, however, she is
one to be reckoned with as she and
her friends feel she could use that
to a good advantage.
Very good work is being accom-,
