FREIGHT RATE CHANGES

Readjustment in railroad freight
rates on the general principle of in
creasing the charges on less than
carload shipments and upon bulky
and expensive commodities, while re-
duclng them on staple and basic COM
moditles, is being advocated by the
Chamber Of Commerce Of the United
States.
A report on the subject. made by a
special committee under the chair
manship of Frederic A. Delano, for
mer member Of the Federal Reserve
Board, made public today, said such
a readjustment would result In a
measurable increase in the revenue of
the carriers, which could be applied
to the reduction. No attempt was
made to define basic conditions, but
lit was declared that no need or ca
pacity exists at present for a general
rate reduction.

NAVY YARD WAGE
INCREASE ARGUED
Machinists Ask 80 Cents as
Basic Hour Rate at Ses-
sion of Board.

Strong pleas for increased wages
for next year for machinists and
members of other trades employed
at the Washington navy yard and
other naval stations in the United
States were made today to the Navy
wage board at the Navy Depart
ment. Representatives of twenty
unions were present and began ar
guments in behalf of their respec-
tive trades. These arguments oc-
cupied the entire session today and
probably will be concluded tomor-
row afternoon.
The Machinists' Union, represent
ing about 5000 members, of whom
1850 are employed at the Washington
navy yard, urged that 80 cents an
hour be made the wage basis for
differential schedules for specific To-
calities.
The prevailing wage rates, estab-
at the Washington and Philadelphia
York yard and IS cents an hour at
the Norfolk yard.
The present naval wage board is
headed by Rear Admiral ]. X. Robi-
son. The other members are F. S.
Curtis, chief clerk of the Navy De-
,oartment, and A. ]. Berres. secretary
Of the Metal Workers Union. The
board will recommend scales of wages
for all navy yards for the calendar
year 1924, and probably will submit
dts report on the subject to the
Secretary of the Navy for final action
about the middle Of December.

TURIN, Italy, November 26.-The be-

distinguished Turinese family, on re-
aving one of these catalogues, wrote
"a letter of protest, to which the French
horticulturist, NJ. Cassagrain, replied in
terms which were considered insulting
to the Italian nation. He accused Ital-

declaring that he spoke from personal

Asiago front for two years.

medal for military valor while serving

The. prospective meeting between
Frenchman and Italian has brought
to mind the famous duel after the Italo-
Abyssinian, the Count of Turin, called
out Prince Henri of Orleans for a simi
lar offense in 1897. This duel took place
on August 10 at Vaucresson at 5 o'clock

swords. Prince Henri received two
wounds, one of which was serious. in
the right side, and the Count of Turin
was wounded in the right hand.

BUENOS AIRES. November 26.-
The pan-American conference of Ma

as promising great benefits for the
peoples of the American continents
in the addresses Of the various dele
gates, who emphasized not only the
benefits to be derived from cooper

but also the strengthening of the

was unthinkable that Red Cross re-
sources would ever be used in a
fratricidal struggle on this side of
the ocean.

CONFIRMATION SERVICE
CONDUCTED IN ARMORY
Bishop Freeman Oficiates at Re
igious Rites Amid Stacked
Rifles.

For the first time in the history of
the parish confirmation services were
held in Silver Spring yesterday when
Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop
of Episcopal diocese of Washington,
confirmed sixteen persons in the
armory.
ut is the first time in my knowI-
edge that Christians have joined the
army of peace in a building the
purpose of which is war" declared
Bishop Freeman. standing in front of
an altar made from wooden table
and surrounded by the guardsman's
guns in their racks on the wall.
The Silver Spring mission is one of
the latest undertaken by Rev. DR..
j. Hennihg Nelms, rector of the par
ish which includes Silver Spring.
'"The only thing that can stop war.
that can silence the guns. is just
the thing that these persons have
done here tonight" declared Bishop
Freeman, who stated that the only
true security is in the revival of
living faith in a living and eternal
God.
Bishop Freeman pointed out that it
is more important to build a church
at Silver Spring than an armory or
any other building. The services
were held by the Children's Church
of the Holy Innocents, which holds
Sunday school services every Sun
day in the armory.
