By LEVI STEVENS LEWIS

WHAT THE PUBLIC DOESN'T know about the great subject, if cata- logued, would make an exceedingly large book. Of course it is impossible to relate 'all at once" what we don't know about the matter but some of it at all events should be told for 1t gives interest and force to all that WE DO KNOW
 Harking back to the beginning we find that the railroads with their of hcial clerical force were always plead ing poverty and making official re- ports "notoriously incorrect" for the purpose of "deceiving both the public and the shareholders" in 'betraya1 of hduciary trusts"
 The New York Board of Railroad Commissioners preface their third an nual report (I885) with this peren- niaI and familiar sounding vail: An other fiscal year of unprohtable busi ness for the great transportation lines of the state has been experienced Many railroads reduced their divi- dends; others barely earned their fixed charges, and seven succumbed entirely, passing into the hands of a receiver, or going through foreclosure proceedings"
 
 entirely" that year is mentioned the New York, Chicago and St. Louis This particular railroad for many years subsequent to 1885 was report ed as an "operating road' Subsidiary to the New York Central, operating about 57o miles of line, earning mil lions of dollars annually, paying divi dends, with millions of Surplus" on hand and at the same time, owning all of the capital stock of the Chicago and State Line Railroad Company which latter road was "leased in per petuity' to another railroad from September Ist, 1887.
 Dead" But Still They Pile Up Big
 Profits
 The New York Central is reported to have owned "the entire capital stock" of the New York, Chicago & St. Louis for number of years. In more recent years the New York, Chi cago & St Louis road is reported as "an operating road independent" From the latest report we have of this Independent road' which was said to have "succumbed entirely" in 1885, 1t appears to be operating 575

HARTFORD,S ELITE WORST RUM HOUNDS,
 SAYS HOHENTHAL
Cellars Filled With Booze Encourage Bootlegging Among Others,
 He Adds.

Hartford, Oct. I3-The residents of Pennington and Prospect avenues, Hartford's exclusive and wealthy resi- de11tia1 section, and not the inhab- itants of the back alleys of Front street are the people to fear as break CTS of the 18th amendment. This was the statement made at the Center church house Wednesday by E. L. c. Hohentha1 of Manchester, chairman of the prohibition state central com mittee, at public meeting under the auspices of the w. C. T. U.
 There are many right here in Hart ford who date their ancestry back to the Mayhower who are more danger ous than some of our poor foreigners, said MT. Hohenthal. They load their cellars with booze and attack the fabric of all law by so doing.
 MT. Hohenthal, who spent four and a half months of this year in Central Europe studying the prohi bition question and spoke in B cities, besides interviewing hundreds of per sons in every walk of life, urged his listeners to put none but prohibition ists on guard Ill positions of public the many officials who are now shut ting their eyes to law enforcement in Hartford and the state.
 Characterizing the leaders of the prohibition forces as prophets and seers" and comparing the tribulations that he said they had been forced to endure, to the scof6ng and jeering at Abraham Lincoln during the martyred presidents lifetime, MT, Hohenthal spoke of prohibition in this country as the "Wonder of civilization" and denounced Connecticut for its stand

Ford Money Going
 All Into Industry
Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundation Systems Do Not Appeal
 to Henry.

The Wall Street Journal carries an interview with Henry Ford in which the Detroit manufacturer declares he intends to use his vast wealth in ere ating new industries, thus furnishing jobs to thousands upon thousands of men and in this way adding to the production and wealth of the nation
 MT. Ford succinctly states that Rockefeller and Carnegie distribu- tions may be all right, but I don't be- lieve in that method"
 The interview may mean more than a news item. It may mean a re1olu- ton in American industries. Ford's success IS built upon elimination of wastage in time, material and human energy. If his immense wealth Is used in industry outside of the manufac- ture of automobiles it will sound the death knell of incompetent manage ment and legal robbery through f. nancial nanipulations in stocks and bonds of various enterprises.
 It is possible that Ford hasn't start ed yet.

COAL INDUSTRY
 WILL BE PROBED

Washington, Oct I3.-Before ad- Journment congress passed law creating a fact finding commission for the coal industry, to consist of seven members, to be appointed by the President. While the law does not specify the makeup of the commits sion, 1t Is understood that neither mine workers or coal owners will be appointed. In his recent message to congress, the President favored ignor- ing both employer and employed.
 The miners favor representation, but the coal owners seem willing to depend on the so-called "neutrals," or as one A. F. of L. representative said: "The coal owners will depend on smooth lawyers to bring seven men who know nothing about the coal in dustry to their way of thinking"
 Congressman London, a member of the labor group, attempted to have the bill amended to permit the United Mine Workers to recommend two members of the commissoin to the President, and give organized coal owners the same privilege.
 The labor member pleaded that workers be represented on this com mission by practical miners, but he was defeated by vote of I56 to Io6 In urging his amendment Congress- man London declared that nothing more idiotic or more subversive to democracy can be suggested than the l prohibition of strike by law"

What We Don't Know About The Railroads

miles Of line now with something more than ten million dollars on hand of surplus-and still Independent" except that its entire capital stock is yet reported to be the property of the New York Central.
 As 1 am writing these lines a list of several hundred railroads printed more than 35 years ago, every one of them said to be "extinct" or "aban- doned' or mot in operation" lies be- fore me.
 We don't know how many of these railroads really are extinct or aban- doned, but we DO KNOW THAT SOME OF THEM, AT LEAST, are very much alive as profit producers in these twentieth century days.
 One of these railroads now said to be "extinct"-the Black River and Utica, was incorporated in 1853. In 1861 it changed it's name to the Utica and Black River and was merged some years ago into the New York Central and is now as fruitful of the profits of that great system" as any other equal number of miles, so far as any public records indicate. Bonds to Pay Interest Over 3oo-Year
 Period.
 The Elmira and Williamsport, an other road reported to be extinct" really never has been "extinct," not even nominally. This road has had an uninterrupted corporate existence for 90 years, ever since 1882. It is reported as leased in 1863 to the Northern Central Railroad Company for oo9 years. In 1863 it issued bonds to draw interest for ooo years, namely, until the year A. D. 2S62. The face value of these bonds has now been paid three times over (3ooft) and if 1t Is possible to con ceive that future generations will be as ignorant and stupid as past gen erations have been, and the iniquity planned by hnanciers before very many now living were born, Is to be perpetually condoned, then some one (we don't know who) will be draw ing" interest on these identical bonds 900 and odd years hence and the debt will still stand to draw interest other hundreds of years If not in some way cancelled.
 The Hudson and Berkshire was in corporated o4 years ago (I828). It is extinct, true enough now, except that it's tracks and other valuable. tan

MAKE BROTHERS
 DISGORGE GRAFT. IS AIM OF LEGION
Former Service Men Going After Those Who Commercia1ized
 War For Democracy.

Chicago, Oct. I3-Plans of the American Legion to compel prohteers
 to pay back hundreds of millions of
 dollars to the government from war
 contracts were announced here last
 week by Alvin H. Owsley, chairman
 of the AmeriCaniZation committee of
 the Legion in an address before
 legionnaires. ,
 E Seventeen thousand war contracts that have been audited revealed $46,- 100000 owing to the government" he declared. 'Only $I5,oooooo of this has been collected, and there still re- main I33,ooo war contracts yet to be audited. The total losses that should and must be recovered from prohteers remains a mystery four years after the war is over The figures stagger the imagination. The taxpayers so far have been willing to hold the bag.
 The American Legion believes that the men who took advantage of their own country during the crisis of the war should be punished They are men who stayed at home and grew rich in gold upon the blood of the bravest men who ever fought for liberty
 During the war, from 1914 to the armistice in 1918, more grafters were made in America than any other time in the nations history. It would be enlightening to see the names of the favored groups who increased their as a result of their contracts with the government during the war. The American Legion proposes to ex- pose these grafters and compel them to return their stolen wealth."

1 gible property Is part and parcel of the Boston and Albany with the B. x A. leased for 100 years to the New York Central. Millions of passengers and millions of tons of freight are moved over the tracks of this road formerly known as the Hudson and Berkshire, but now said to be "ex- tinct."
 Space, and the readers patience, is too limited to attempt to rehearse the history of all other extinct" rail- ways, even if we could do so, never theless 1t is worth while to mention here very few of the railroads that really are extinct so far as the gen. eral public knows and yet which are as much in practical operation as they ever were, their extinction consisting only in being merged into other and perhaps less obscure railroad corpora tions.
 Here Are Some More Dead" Profit
 Makers.
 Prominent among such extinct rail- way corporations. may be mentioned the following: The Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburgh, the Niagara Falls Branch Railroad, the Oswego and NOne, Oartnage, WatertOWn and Sacketts Harbor, Gouverneur and Osewegatchie, Lake Shore and Mich igan Southern, Carthage and Adiron- dack, Mohawk and Malone, New York and Putnam, Geneva, Corning and Southern, New York Central Niagara River, Little Falls and Dolgeville and very many others, "too numerous too mention"
 To say that. the more one studies the transportation problem, the less one knows. about 1t is an absurdity. 1t IS true, however, that the more one studies the question the more certain 1t appears that what we can find out about 1t is only a shrewd guess or what is established by evidence that stands undisputed and indisputab1e
 And evidence that stands undis- puted and indisputable; unimpeach- able evidence seems to indicate be- yond the shadow of a doubt, that the clear net profit of the railways of the United States, over and above oper- ating expenses, taxes, and millions set aside for depreciation" and "re- tirements" is not less than TWEN- TG-FlNE BILLION DOLLARS every period of twelve months.

BABY RAIL UNION IS
 LUSTY YOUNGSTER;;
 FUTURE IS ASSURED
Signalmen Will Take Up Ambitious Program at Their Cincinnati
 Convention.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. I,3-Notwith-
 standing many discouragements and
 Instructions faced during the past
 two years, officers of the Brotherho pod
 of Railroad Signalmen was able (to
 offer gratifying reports to the bien-
 nial convention of the organization when 1t convened here Monday
 These reports reveal a solidarity of purpose for constructive development in the future The difficulties met and overcome served simply to reveal to the members of the brotherhood the aims and purposes of those who would wantonly destroy and disrupt all labor unions as well as the best methods of combating this work of destruc ton.
 Many important matters were un der consideration at this, the first bi- ennlal and 10th regular convention. Among them was the question of life insurance for each member. There are pending for consideration a num- Der of proposed amendments to the constitution and bylaws which will benefit the organization at large, giv ing to the grand lodge officers freer hand to cope with aggravated situa tions as they arise.
 The Signalmen's organization IS young in point of years, but virile in determination and experienced in tao tics.
 The brotherhood dates it's birth from March 7, 1902, when Mountain ganized at Altoona with the adoption of constitution, bylaws and order of business. It then became neces- sary to prepare and adopt a mutual agreement charter.
 Following shortly came several other lodges, all gaining in member ship. In. January, 1909, Smoky City odge asking for >be establishment of l grand lodge, resulting in the ap- oointment of a committee to make ap- olication for a charter. On April 6, 1 oo8, the Brotherhood of Railroad | of America was incorpor-l tied under the laws of Pennsylvania. 1
 In August following grand lodge 1 was held, Philip Weller, ,f Altoona, being the first grand chief | ignalman, and H. C. Dunn, of New 'ort Lodge, No. ?, secretary-treasurer. 1t this first convention there were 7 delegates, representing 1000 mem 'ers.
 The brotherhood affiliated with the American Federation of Labor on March IA, 1914
 In it's early history the organiza- ion met with many reverses, among hem being a strike on the New York >entral lines, in 1910, under the lead rship of Grand Chief J. E. Martin Defeat had a demoralizing effect up n the membership. In addition, ev- ry effort was made by the railway managers to disrupt and blot out tfle rotherhood. Several lodges become efunct because of the intimidation rought to bear upon individual mem CTS.
 At the 10th convention, held at New 1aven, Conn, in June, 1917, D. w. 1elt was elected president and T. A. justin, secretary-treasurer. They have ontinued in office to this date. Un- CT their direction the brotherhood aimed power and prestige. Inquiries anne from all parts of the United tates and Canada for membership
 About this time the railroads went
