RAILROAD RATES and TRAFFIC
UNITS

present freight and passenger rates are necessary
because of present railroad expenses not because of
large railroad profits. In 1921, the NJ c. & ST. L.
Ry with the second largest receipts in its history
lost money.
IN 1911, the average amount received by the Rail-
way for hauling ton of freight one mile was 1O1
cents In 1921 it LAT cents an increase of 1850
transportation costs unit of service rendered in
the same period increased about 81.69t.
Hauling ton one mile is ''trafhc unit" Carving
tmee passengers mile is counted as an equivalent
unit For each dollar paid the NJ, c. & ST. L.
IN 1917 moved 1872 of these units; in 1921 only 72
units.
Most railroad expenses fixed by factors beyond
ne control OF the railroad wages by the United States
Railroad Labor Board, the price of materials and SUD
pines by market conditions. Every economy is being
Praetced to reduce expenses, and all railroads have
applications before the Labor Board for reduction in
wages.
Until railroad operating expenses are reduced so
that more units of traffic be for each dollar
that the public pays rates, railroad rates cannot be
reduced without peril to the public interest in an
efficient transportation system.

The doorbell rang, and Alan turned
to the door and threw it open. In the

came suddenly upon him.

strobe into the room. He switched on
the light and went directly to the
couch; Alan followed him.

CHAPTER K.
A Caller.

- SaNlSl-
As the first Of the month was ap-
preaching, Wassaquum had brought
his household bills and budget to Alan
that morning directly after breakfast.
To furnish Alan with whatever sums
he needed, Sheriff. had made conSid-
cradle deposit In Alan's name in the
bank where he carried his own ac-
count: and Alan had accompanied Sher-
rill to the bank 10 be introduced and
had signed the necessary cards in or
der to check against the deposit.
Alan had required barely half of the
hundred dollars which Benjamin Cor
vet had sent to Blue Rapids, for his
expenses in Chicago; and he had
brought with him from home" hun
dred dollars of his own.
The amount which Wassaquam now
desired to pay the bills was much
more than Alan had on hand; but that
amount was also much less than the
eleven hundred dollars which the serv-
ant listed as cash on hand. This, Was
saquam stated, was In currency and
kept by him. Benjamin always had
had him keep that much in the house I;
Wassaquam would not touch that sum
now for the payment of current ex-
penses.
On the first of the month, therefore
Alan drew upon his new bank account
to Wassaquain's order, and in the early
afternoon Wassaquam went to the
bank TO cash his Check-one of the
very few occasions when Alan had
haa,, tn n oil
quam's habit, it appeared, was to go
about on the first of the month and
pay the tradesmen in person.
Some two hours later and before
Wassaquam could have been expected
back, Alan, in the room which had be-
come his, was startled by a sound of
neavy pounding, which came suddenly
to him from a floor below. Shouts
heavy, thick, and unintelligible-mi
ged with the pounding He ran swift
ly down the stairs, then on and down
the service stairs into the basement
The door TO the house from the area
way was shaking to irregular, heavy
blows, which stopped as Alan reached
the lower hallway; the shouts contin-
ued still moment more. Now that
the noise of pounding did not inter-
fere, Alan could make out what the
man was saying. Ben Corvet ~
the name was almost unintelligible-
Ben Corvet! Benz" Then the shouts
stopped, too.
| Alan sped to the door and turned
back the latch The door bore back
upon him, not from a push, but from
a weight without which had fallen
against it. A big, heavy man, with n
rough cap and mackinaw coat, would
have fallen upon the floor if Alan had
not caught him. His weight In Alan's
arms was so dull, so inert, that, IL vio-
hence had been his intention, there was
nothing to be feared from him now.
Alan looked up. therefore, to see If
any one had come with him. The alley
and the street were clear. The snow
10 the areaway showed that the man
had come to the door alone and with
greet difficulty; he had fallen once up
on the walk. Alan dragged the man
into the house and went back and
closed the door.
He returned and looked at him. The
man was like. very like the one whom
Alan had followed from the house on
the night when he was attacked; GER
tainty that this was the same man
came quickly to him. He seized the
fellow again and dragged him up the
'+s'rs and to the lounge in the library.

As " ell as Prisoners From
Statute; Approves Ban on
Slackers i'm Public Office
5roa, q STAR Correspondent

ALBANY, March 23.-Governol
Miller to-day signed the bin of Senator
William 7. Simpson, of Brooklyn, pro
viding more adequate wage scale for
convict labor. The Governor. who rec,
commended the law, believes il will i'm
prove convict morale and increase pro-
duction in prison factories. The act
authorizes the State Superintendent OF
Prisons to adopt rules, subject to the
approval of the Governor, for a new
system Of compensation for prison
labor.
81 believe it is possible" said Coy
ernor Miller "to put prison industries
on an industrial basis and to compen-
safe prisoners for their labor. Their
pay should be measured by work actu-
ally performed and deduction should
be made for the cost of maintenance
and for any fines imposed to enforce
discipline. any surplus should be
saved for the prisoner on his dis
charge, or transmitted to his depend
ents. l believe this plan in the end
will prove economical to the state and
that it may serve to create self-respect
and to inculcatc habits of obedience
regularity and industry in the in
mates of the prisons. Certainly the
present method has not succeeded"
Other bills signed by the Governor
are:
The f. c. Campbell measure barring
slackers from holding public Office IL
this state. 1t amends the public Of
icers' act by providing that no persons
convicted Of having evaded the sclec-
tive draft law shall be eligible.

Meeting lines, notwithstanding franz
