,RIvERs AND HARBoRs CONGRESS:

The Official Call has been issued for
the~Eighteenth Convention of the Nation
al Rivers land Harbors Congress, which is
to bezheldZin Washington. D. c., on We'd
nesdaysand Thursday, December 6 and Z.
ThEs*wilf be the second convention of the
congress in 1922, the Seventeenth, which
would regularly@h been held in Dec
elnber,s 1921, having been postponed until
the 1st and End Of March Of this year be-
cause" of the, Conference on the Limita-
tion of Armament.
One of the liveliest discussions at the
coming convention will center around the
question whether or not water competition
justifies a violation of the long g-and-short
haul, clause Of the Interstate Commerce
Act Before the Interstate Commerce law
was passed, the railroads reduced the
rates to waterway points to any extent that
was necessary to destroy water competition
recauping themselves for the losses SO in
Cured by charging higher rates to In
tern1ediate points and much higher rates
to inland points equally distant but not
Intermediate.
EheSeities situated on waterways insist
that they are entitled to the benefits due
to- their location, including lower freight
rates than inland points and realroads de-
clare that inland points are entitled, not
to the same rates as waterway points, but
to ratssathat are reasonable. for the service
rendered that if they are not: allowed to
make competing rates to waterway points
all the traffic would go by boat instead !
of BY rail and that this would cause such
al loss of railway revenues that, in order
to avoid, bankruptcy, they would have to-
charge to inland ports rates that? are much
higher than those they now pay!
The intermediate Rate Association has.
agreed to furnish a speaker to state their
views and it is expected that a speaker
from some city. on the Pacific Coast will
present the other side of the question, af-
ter which it will be thrown open for dis
c1ssion by the delegates to the convention.

that the day would pass uneventfully

Unlike other May days for several

and other high government officials
were without mailed threats of per-

Attorney General Daugherty is OF
the opinion that after-war animosities
are dying out and that there are not
so many causes for disturbances which
were likely to occur when war hatreds
stirred up malevolent influences and
awakened fear for the safety OF the
people.

many industrial cehters.

In opposing any American recogEs-

civilization" Gompers issued a warn

automobiles, equipped with wireless

While Communists had threatened
to stage demonstrations, the elaborate
police precautions indicated that NAY
