CAMPAIGN IN FULL SWING

Manitowoc and Manitowoc county
more than indicated in their subscrip-
tions the first day of the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation, l.. ]. Nash, chair
man for the county, said Tuesday,
their Endorsement not only of the
movement itself but of the man in
whose honor the movement is founded.
The sum Monday for Manitowoc equal
ed the goal previously set for the first
day of operations, Mr. Nash said. Only
a few of the workers in the city and
county have turned in any reports, he
said, and probably will not until the
latter part of the week. The workers
have gone out to place Manitowoc and
Manitowoc county "over the top" he
declared and will keep at it until they
have accomplished their tasks to the
fullest extent.
Chairman Nash would also urge per-
sons not to wait for the workers to see
them personally but to get in touch
with the headquarters at the court
house and turn in their subscriptions
there, or at the various banks in the
city and county.
Mr. Nash said: "The American peo-
pie have undertaken the establishment
of the foundation by reason of their
faith in the principles that Mr.. Wilson
upheld and in their belief that the
foundation will serve as means of
perpetuating these ideals. The response
to the appeal for the foundation will
afford an opportunity for the reaffirm-
alton of this faith.
"The fund is for the purpose of es-
tablishing a permanent memorial to
Mr.. Wilson, one that will honor him
now and perpetuate his lofty and sacri-
dcing ideals throughout history.
"rhe sum is to be invested in United
States securities, and funds realized
will be handled by board of trustees
composed of twenty-five nationally
known men and women.
"The board of trustees will have
complete charge of administering the
funds, and awards will be made from
time to time to the individual or group
rendering in a specified period meri-
torious service to democracy, to pub
lie welfare, to liberal thought or to
peace through justice"
The one and only connection that
Mr.. Wilson has with the foundation,
Mr.. Nash stated "is that it bears his
name, and its funds are to encourage
the principles of peace and justice
cnuncated and championed by him"
"In short, the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation is Americas Nobel Peace
Prize"

DANGER Of TRAFFIC
T|EUP ON ROADS PAST
President Of Chicago Western
Tells l. c. c. Of Reduction
In Expenses.

Danger of another congestion OF
freight traffic like that Of 1890 has
virtually disappeared through the bet
terments and improvements In serv-
ice and operation that have been
made by the railroads in the last
year, Samuel II. FELTON,. president Of
the Chicago, Great Western railroad,
yesterday told the Interstate Com
mefce Commission in the rate hear
ing. FELTON, was the first Of the rail.
road witnesses to be cross-examined
by the shippers.
Many Of the items Of expense Of the
railroads have been decreased as
much az 80 per cent in the last few
months, FELTON, said, with the pros
pect that there will be still further
reductions this spring. The effect Of
decreased prices generally In also be-
ing felt, he said, In the increased vol
ume Of traffic on the railroads, which
Is sho wing q gradual upward move
ment.
1--WE told the coal operators with
to reduce their prices, or we would
tNke only the minimum quantity
called for in our contracts with them,
and buy the rest Of our coal in the
open market" said FELTON,. The re-
suit was that the cost of our coal fell
from 81 and IS a ton to the sum Of
s2.10 to $500 a ton"
The prices of ties and bridge build
Ing materials have also dropped, he
said.
I'VE saved about 30 per cent in
repairing an engine, and usually
about $500 in repairing a car" he
said.
Mr.. FELTON, admitted that freight
rates should be adjusted to the VOL
ume Of traffic over a period Of years.
and that II Is not fair to attempt to
fix rates under the conditions Of de-
preston that have prevailed in the
last year.
The railroads had a large number
OF cars In bad order last year which
were brought over from the previous
year. he said, and these had been re-
paired out Of the current operating
revenues and charged up to the op-
Grating expenses of the year.
The cross-examination Of the rail-
road witnesses will take up all next
week.
