G.. NJ. Springer Gives Much Valuable
Information On Freight Rates
Applying To Valley City And
Jamestown.

The freight rate meeting at the
City Hall last night was not as we'll
attended as was expected, only about
Is persons being present.
/. S. Ward, as chairman for the
evening, introduced the speaker, G.
NJ. Springer of Jamestown.
Mr.. Springer opened his talk with
brief resume of the work so far
done in the matter of getting an adj
justment of freight rates as applying
to Valley City and Jamestown. The
question has been brought before the
railroads for adjustment but they
have stated that they were powerless
to do anything in the matter and
that it would be necessary to take
| the matter to the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission. Their reply was
received on Jan. 10th and the matter
was placed before the I. C. C. infor-
mally on Jan. 14th through the good
offices of Congressman George M.
Young who handed the complaint to
member of the commission person
ally. Mr.. Springer stated that Mr..
Young had done considerable work in
this connection which should be ap-
preciated by the citizens Of the two
cities.
Fargo has been making some COM
plants to the railroads and also to
the commission without results. When
their rate expert found that Valley
City and Jamestown were doing the
same thing they wanted to join forces
with the two cities but Mr.. Springer
advised against such action and
showed that the interests of these
two cities and Fargo are diametri-
cally opposed. However, Fargo has
stated that they wanted the local
people to hold up the. filing of our
complaint with the 1. c.. C. as it
would block their negotiations with
the railroads. This is being done to
assist them in the matter. While
the claim of these two cities is al
ready for filing it will not be for
warded until about April 18th.
| Mr.. Springer gave an extended ex-
PLANTATION of the Discrepancy in the
freight rates in Minnesota and North
Dakota and showed how this differ
ence affected the shippers in this
state.
In 1907 the Minnesota legislature
limited the freight rates to be charg-
ed in that state reducing the charge

to the Minnesota-North Dakota line

to the Minnesota North Dakota line
from 46 cents to 361A cents on 5th
class freight. Amy carload of
goods leaving the Twin Cities and
consigned to Moorhead carries the
36h cent rate. If that same car is
consigned to Valley City it carries
the 46 cent rate for the entire, dis
lance. In other words, on carload
of goods shipped to Moorhead the
freight charges would be $4,000
while the same car would earn $276
if shipped to Valley City, making the
charge from Moorhead to Valley City
$500, which is entirely out of pro-
portion.
A study of the freight rates shows
great discrimination in favor of Far
go which makes Fargo the wholesale
distributing center for the state. Mr..
Springer stated that, while the dis
lance from Valley City to St. Paul
was 291 miles the rates applying at
this time should apply to a city SIS
miles from St. Paul.
Valley City and jamestown are ask
ing the l. C. C. to declare the freight
rates discriminatory and unreasonable.
In event that the l. c. C. upholds the
claims of the two cities they may
order a refund of overcharges for the
past year: The decision Of the COM
missionl should be received within
four months.
Mr.. Springer is we'll versed on rate
matters and gave his audience last
night some mighty good information
which would enable them to check up
their expense bills to see that there
were no errors,
At the conclusion of Mr.. Springer's
talk Mr.. Ward stated that Valley
City had joined with Jamestown in
the movement to get the rates adj
justed and had promised the raising
of $1,000 for this work, $500 of which
had already been paid. It is now
time for the balance to be collected
and the business men of the city are
being asked to contribute today.

State Police In West Virginia Are
Assigned TO Posts Throughout
The Mine Fields To Prevent Any
Disorders Following Walkout.

Charleston, W. ", March 31-The
state police have been assigned to
posts throughout the mine fields OF
West Virginia in preparation for any
trouble in connection with nation
wide strike called for midnight. The
non-union workers of West Virginia
vital element in the situation &C.
cording to reports given today, are
not going to strike with union min
ers but are going to fight the strike
with increased production. The min
ers of Ming and Pike counties of
Kentucky will walk out with the min
ers according to J. W. Fowler.
Lewis defied the Kansas Industrial
court and declared any order issued
by it, asking and restraining the
Kansas miners not to strike, will not
be obeyed.
"The Kansas miners will strike at
midnight as we'll as the miners in all
other sections of the country" Lewis
said
Bituminous operators refused to
renew any wage contract but insist
in a stated agreement Of the re,!uc-
ton of wages.
Anthracite miners and operators
met in Indianapolis but failed to
reach a satisfactory plan. When the
strike is effective 100000 workers
will be out of work following the ces-
sation of work.
Potential threatenings by the SYM
pathetic union workers, especially the
rail laborers, to go on strike to aid
the miners might effect a general
strike.
Coal production of America is drop
ping toward the zero mark as min
ers begin to quit and join in the big
walkout which will be 100 percent eff
fective at midnight tonight. Devel-
opments today point out the strike
will not be so effective as the Unit
ed Mine Workers leaders claim. The
Kansas Industrial court ordered the
men in their jurisdiction to remain at
work. Mr.. Jackson, miners official
in Evansville, Indiana District, told
the men to stay at work pending a
new wage agreement which will be
drawn up. Operators of the six states
in Trans-Mississippi district are con-
sidering opening the mines immedi-
ately after the miners walk out.
There is a possibility of opening UNI
der open shop conditions. In Wash
ington the labor committee have be-
fore them resolution urging Presi-
dent Harding to call miners con-
ference to avert the strike.

The Significance OF
Children'S Education
BY Ellen Creelwan

There is no question in the minds
of intelligent persons regarding the
deep significance of education during
the first six years Of life. To be
fully appreciated however, this period
must be considered in the light of its
relation to the sum total of all educa-
ton.
In the first place, as life is con-
tinuous process, so education should
be a continuous guiding of life to it's
highest fulfllment.
The various stages of life,-infan-
cy, childhood, youth and manhood,
should merge naturally into one an
other.
The goal Of the entire process of
education is good character, realized
through the acquisition of good
habits, and it may readily be seen
that this fact should be kept in mind
by every educator of the infant, child
or youth. The educator must also
bear in mind the fact that the founda-
ton of education is laid in infancy
and childhood. ......... ...
Psychologists and psychologists
agree that many of the physical weak
nesses and harmful mental habits of
late years may be traced to faulty
guidance in childhood.
During childhood fund of resist
ance, physical and mental, should be
acquired through observance Of the
laws governing development. In or
der, however, that these laws be OBJ
served in the nursery, they must be
understood by the parent, and that
they be understood, they must be as
Systematically taught as other sub
jects Of education.
An educator recently made the fol-
lowing statement: 'My brother and
his wife are both University gradu-
ates. When the first baby came to
their home, neither of them knew
| anything about the care OF 1t, physl-
cally or mentally" The speaker
went on to say: 1T is incredible that
students should be permitted to grad
uate from our higher institutions Of
| learning without any knowledge OF
one Of the most important subjects
of education-the care Of the child"
Observation Of young mothers at
| their task reveals the fact that many
J of them do not realize that their
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-04-06

work calls for especial preparation,
and frequently the browning JOY of
parenthood, true satisfaction, is MISS
ed. But sadder still is the fate of the
small pupil, who, commencing life
with an impulse to realize his Unborn
possibilities, is handicapped not only
by his own short-sightedness, but
also by the faulty guidance of one
who loves him but does not under
stand him; one who cannot discrim-
mate between the natural impulses
that should be cherished and strength
ened, and those that should be elim-
mated.
Until the fact is recognized that the
first six years of life comprise the
most important period of all educa-
ton, heavy handicap will continue
to be placed upon the efforts of the
pupil both in the home and in the
school.
Every High School, College and
University should offer thorough
course in child education, physical
and mental, and this study should be
second to none on the required list, of
subjects for graduation. In this way
parents could be prepared for their
especial work as educators, and the
child permitted to realize his innate
possibilities. ...
