Hearing Opened on Rates.

New Orleans, La.-Request Of the
joint traffic bureau for through rates
on cotton from Oklahoma points to
New Orleans by rail and to points
in Eastern and New England states
by steamship was heard by Examiner
McQuillan in session here Friday.
The local rates now apply making a
combination higher than the all rail
rate from Oklahoma to the manufac-
turing centers. The through rate ask
ed would be &C lower than the all rail
charge. Galveston filed similar pc
tition some time ago At this present
session here Examiner McQuillan has
heard two other rate cases. The first
was based on the attempt of the l..
& N. Railroad to cancel the new rate
on sugar from Baton Rouge to Mobile.
which is the same as from New Or
leans to Mobile.

READY FOR CRISIS
AT WASHINGTON
Officials Expect Respect OF
Proclamation to End
Strike.

WASHINGTON. Although confident
that a solution of the railroad shop
mems strike would be found before
many days, both with force OF arms
and emergency facilities the admins
tration is prepared to meet whatever
situation may arise.
At the war department it was stat
ed the military arm of the government
was ready for the strong action i'm
piled in the presidents proclamation
whenever the president commanded 1t.
Full authority has been left with army
corps area commanders to take such
precautionary measures as are deemed
advisable within their districts. al
though the use of force, generally
speaking, must be authorized from
Washington
Officials, however were of the opln-
ion that the presidents proclamation
would have great influence with the
leaders of the strike, and generally
would be respected.
The proclamation has the effect OF
placing the whole nation on a basis
Of probation with virtual martial law
as the alternative. 1t is recalled that
when the president last August issued
a similar proclamation demanding
that miners in West Virginia dispense
their insurrectionary movement, their
failure to abide by his order resulted
in the dispatch of troops to the state
and a declaration of martial law.
