ton of the high water mark of 100000 tons
of freight was being moved annually Then
Tor a lew years the canal was just a muddy
oltcn, breeding mosquitoes and tadpoes.
To-day the barge canal modernized and
wen-tended, is carrying freight east-bound at
80 per cent less than the prevailing rail rates.
west bound traffic is being handled at about
4o per cent less than rail rates and in some
instances it is half rate. As an illustration
or the economy of water transportation, the
present rate on coal between Buffalo and
Duluth is 30 cents ton. That is less than
the cost Of rehandling in New York between
the railroad yards and Bronx apartment
houses. !.
All boats in the canal service today sue
cessfully pass through the canal and its locks.
There are no delays, and the speed with which
these power vessels make trips between Buf-
falo and New York City compares favorably
with the slow freight trains that travel between
the same points.
Some of the boats in service can carry as
much as $4,000 bushels of oats. This is the
capacity of seventy-five freight cars. The
draft OF the entire canal is twelve feet, ample
Tor Its purpose. Last year nearly 1,500,o0o,-
oOo tons were carried by harges.
Next year the Superintendent Of Public
Works of New York State will have the grain
elevator in Gowanus Canal, in the heart OF
New York Bay, in operation. Consequently,
large increase in this type of business is ex-
pected. Barges will draw up to the elevators,
unload mechanically and return for additional
cargoes. Oceangoing steamers, on the other
side of the elevator, will be loaded mechan-
ieally and depart for foreign ports. This viii
greatly reduce the cost of handling grain IN
New York, and when more barges are avail
able New York City will inevitably become the
largest grain exporting port OF the United
States. The new elevator is built on unit
system. which permits enlargement whenever
necessary.
The elevator in the Gowanus Canal is fair
symbol of what will be accomplished in the way
of freight handling economy under the Pors
Authority plan, and when this is in full swfae
the barge canal will be carrying its rightful
load of 20,o00,000 tons. Then, perhaps, with
traffic stress relieved, the Middle West will
discover that there are better usea for couple
of hundred millions Of dollars than pcurtnsl

bureau experts could be assigned as trainers,
to give instruction in gauging rainfall to the
hundredth part of an inch. AS it is, with one
set OF players trying to have the game ended
as soon as the first drop falls and the other
side insisting that it should not be called
until the ear is assaied with the gurgle Of
rainspouts, the umpire naturally feels his
lack of meteorological training.

that organized baseball is now paying man
$4,000 year to think Of things like these.
But the fact remains that no Higher Educa-
tional Spring Training Movement for Umu;res
has been started, and here the season is almost
upon US. One may be sitting in the subway

training of baseball players in the South-a

send the umpires along at the expense of their
bank accounts the magnates let the arbiters,
as the sporting writer's occasionally call them
hnger in the cold and unfriendy North AS
result the average umpire is compelled to take
up his duties with such training as he can
pick up among snow storms, rain storms and
fogs.
Although we have no desire to trespass in
the baseball advisory fiela, wherein are clus-
tered many authorities with keen intellects and
extensive vocabularies, it seems to us that this
neglect of the umpire in the springtime is one
of the flaws in the mechanism of wonderfully
specialized game 1t is a neglect that NAV

players who sleep on the greenback stuffed
pillows affected by worlds series contestants.
How much better equipped for his task an
umpire would feel if he were bronzed and Wig
orous, owing to six weeks of training ar

be provided for umpires only. No mere plav
ers should be permitted to detract from the
surroundings. When it is necessary for the

T 90 LONG has the umpire been a sub
ject for jest This is to be a serious
article, concerning matters of moment
to the umpring craft. In the base
ball scheme of things nobody has considered
the personal welfare of the umpire in the
springtime. The baseball magnates send their
teams South for training. AS the luxurious
trains speed over the rails the rattle of the
wheels is almost lost in the rattle of the golf
sticks aboard, and the cars are filled with male
conversation about golf the favorite recre-
alton of those who are condemned to play base
ball for living.
But do the umpire's golf sticks rattle with
the rest, and is he headed for Southern golf
playing with a little baseball practice on the
side? The answer to the query is no, itali-
cized capitalized or emphasized in any other
way. The baseball magnates apparently have
drawn their last dollar out of the bank to send
the players away. Rather than overdraw and

to be seated as visitor. You will
be welcome. Perhaps by doing so you
may be of assistance to your dele

there is anything that you do not
like try through your delegate to
have it changed.

Now, brothers, as a last favor
at the next meeting of your local
union devote little time to the dis
cussion of the welfare of the Trades
Council.
If your delegates are not attending
the meeting of the council, instruct
them to do so in the future or elect
new ones who will, and above all have
them make report every two weeks.
This is Of the utmost Importance. Do
this for the sake of organized labor,
the interest of which you all, feel
sure, have at heart, and on the well
fare of which so much depends.
Forget any petty grievances you
may. have for the sake of the larger
interests involved. Let us get together
and cooperate to the utmost of our
abilities SO that we may have our
organization one hundred per cent
efficient, second to none in the state,
one that may reflect credit on organ

union to bring these facts to your
attention, but after much delibera.

be better as it would come to the at

There are many important ques-

Trades Council in the near future, the
successful solution of which requires
the cooperation of all local unions.

a full quota of delegates and they
are always on the job, and their dele
gates are of such character that they
are heard from on all questions per.
tanning to the welfare of the labor
movement.
The lack of representation on the
part of some local unions is serious
reflection on their sincerity for the
welfare of organized labor in our city
in particular, and of organized labor
in general throughout the country.
Some organizations seem to think
they have done their full duty wher
they have elected delegates to repre-.
sent them in the central body.
Sometimes the credentials are sen,
in, but it is several meetings before
the delegate presents himself for in.
stallation. Sometimes he is installed
and absents himself before the meet.

of him for several months.
BROTHERS, this is not an exag.
geration, but plain statement Of
fact. How can such delegate &c
back to his organization and make
an intelligent report of the work be.

Council?
We have had delegates attend 8
meeting or two and then report back
to their organizations that the cen
trail body was being run by a clique
and remained away for this reason.
1t is true that the work of the
Trades Council is being carried on by
the delegates Of few organizations

the obligation imposed upon him whel
he accepts this honor, that he utterly

Council is run by clique, and TO
this reason stays away.
But what is one to think of an or
ganization that accepts such a repor
from their delegate? If they believ
it, and do not send him back wit
