pany, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company made nothing more profit
able than history, despite its strenu-
GUS efforts.
The same day that the ground
breaking ceremonies for the canal
were celebrated at Great Falls the
citizens of Baltimore staged a notable
celebration in honor of the beginning
of their railroad.
Work on laying the track began
Immediately, thereafter. A roadbed
was started even before any efficient
method Of locomotion for the passen-
ger cars was perfected. The first car
rails ever milled in the United States
were produced at a special factory
built in a Maryland village along the
route Of the railroad, which was the
pioneer project Of it's kind of any
length in the country. One type of
locomotive that was developed and
fostered as a practical steel horse for
hauling the coaches was operated by
heavy horses that tramped over end
less aprons inside the locomotive,
treadpower fashion, in order to make
the wheels go around. One of the
most extraordinary races in the an
nails Of American speed contests was
a match between this horsepower en-
gine and a little steam locomotive

ing up Of estimates were made, the
promoters ascertained that their orig
inal figures were very inaccurate. The
final balances showed that the water
way would cost at least $4,000, 900
by the time it was properly extended
to Ohio. The announcement of this
figure knocked the bottom out of
much of, the popular support of the
project. The citizens of Baltimore
abandoned the enterprise and imme-
diatley began to concentrate all their
resources on the popularization and
perfection of railroad system that
would extend from that city to the
heart of the Ohio river valley.
In this curious, roundabout way,
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal was
directly responsible for the develop
ment of railroad communication be-
tween the inland middle west and the
ocean-bounded eastern states. The
plan to make the Potomac navigablA
failed, but was a stepping stone to
the canal construction project which
also never bore fruit but which. in
turn, led to the building of the rail-
road, which was a success and the.
foundation Of the network of trunk
and freight lines, which now girdles
the country.

was selected by the railroad officials
as the official steed Of the line. An
other unusual locomotive demon
strated in those days was a car that
was equipped with sails and which
would run only when the wind was
blowing.

THE Chesapeake and Ohio canal is
L the father of our inland American
waterways. 1t was masterpiece of
construction for the period when it
was built. In fact, its. greatest fame
rests in the fact that it was built in
spite of thousand and one obsacles of
one kind or another.
The canal is 1876 miles in length and
is large enough to accommodate a
feet OF $50 active canal boats. The
waterway consists of seventy-five lift
locks, each Of which is IA by 100 feet
in dimensions and two guard locks
These locks cover a descent of SIS
feet from Cumberland to Georgetown
The average canal boat. has a ca
pacity for 116 tons of coal. The fleet
is capacitated to move 100000 tons
of soft coal from the Cumberland
mines to the District Of Columbia an
nually. The canal never has been

for a lift of ten feet. At Great Fails
there were five locks and a canal one
mile long. They each accommo lated
about $4,000 cubic feet of water when
filled. At Little Falls there was an
other canal with three additional
locks. A suspension bridge was also
built over Great Falls, the first pas
sageway of it's exact character con-
structed in America.

IRON the time it was opened to
i navigation, the upper Potomac
never proved profitable Despite that
in the. eighborhood of 300 boats Of
an aggregate burden of 1880 tons
used the waterway the first year it
was opened, while a decade later as
many as 1900 vessels of 16,50O tons
regularly piled those waters, the toll
revenues always fell far short of pay
ing the maintenance expenses. The
initial construction ultimately retro
graded into nothing more than a
monument to big idea that failed.
Today, massive, crumbling walls Of
masonry-ruins of our first great ma
tional engineering achievement-are
all that remain of the Great Falls
locks and canals. The Pawtommack
Company's failure-put the quietus on
all attempts to utilize the regular
riverbed of the upper Potomac as a
channel of water traffic.

4, 1928, he, struck an impenetrable
root. Again he plunged the tool into
the ground, but to encounter another
root. Thereupon he had to doff his
fancy coat and set to work in earnest
to break a way through the network
of roots so that he could reach the
soil below.
The distractions and difficulties
that President Adams encountered in
the canal inauguration ceremonies
we're truthful prophets of the poten-
tial exigencies and construction
conundrums that complicated and
paralyzed the operations. On nocless
than a dozen different occasions Vir-
ginias-and Maryland had to reach
down, deep into their state money
bags and dole out funds to the canal
builders, while Uncle Sam repeatedly
aided the project in a financial way.
It took thirteen years to extend the
canal to Cumberland and the work
was never carried any further. The
artificial waterway cost $11,072,000,
an average cost Of $5s,61s.61 a mile
The first year.it was operated the ex-
penses amounted to approximately
$4,000, while the total income was
less than $4,000. These figures are
faithful; registers of what has oc-

The second plan of establishing
communication between the Atlantic
states and Ohio features the construc-
tion lof a canal that was to parallel
the Potomac river from Georgetown,
D. c., to Cumberland, Md. 1t was the
logical outgrowth of the Pawtom-
mack plan and represented our first
national attempt to improve internal
and domestic commerce. At the out
set, the canal proposition had the en-
thusiastic support of Uncle Sam and
the states of Maryland and Virginia.
The first surveys indicated that it
would cost about $S,000,000 to COM

For that early period, when American
millionaires as an internationally ia

STUDY CLASSES
RECOMMENDED AT
LABOR CONVENTION

Portland, Ore, Oct. l7.-American
Labor has given full impetus to the
movement for adult workers educa-
ton. The movement that until now
has been more or less in its infancy,
struggling TO find its way and 1T it.
/ self for service, Is now one of the full
! iledged major concerns and activities
Of the trade union movement.
/ This follows adoption by the A. +.
of l.. convention here Of report
containing detailed recommendations
on workers education.
The Workers Education Bureau"
says the report has developed Ger
| tain well-defined educational services
which ii is prepared to place at the
disposal of the working people Of this
country at a nominal service charge.
1t can and will assist local groups in
the organization of study classes, in
the preparation of courses of study,
in the designation of proper and we'll
trained teachers, and in the selection
of adequate text books and syllable.
A field secretary has been added TO
the staff TO assist local groups in the
organization of colleges and study
classes. In addition, il is prepared
To conduct correspondence courses
for adult workers and place ut their
disposal a library loan service. An
editorial committee has in active
preparation modern series of books
written for adult workers in the So
cial sciences, literature and the ma
tural sciences.
"Your committee wishes to call
especial attention to the fact that the
principles of local autonomy and
group responsibility and the voluntary
nature of adult education are the
principles upon which the American
Labor movement rests and command
this adult workers education move
ment, particularly TO the American
worker. In view of the outstanding
importance of this movement to the
working people of our country, your
Committee recommends 10 this con-
vention the following specific pro
posals:
Il. That we recommend to the
workers of this country through the
channels provided for them by the
American Federation of Labor, the
establishment of study classes for the
free and impartial study of such
DfUDlGinS ds dIH VI IhNtitSA W hhiatit
and that they avail themselves of
the educational advice of the Work
ers' Education Bureau in the organ
ization and conduct of such classes.
so. That we recommend that each
State Federation of Labor establish
a permanent educational department
and provide an Educational Director
to cooperate actively with the Work
ers' Education Bureau in providing
adequately for the educational needs
of the organized workers IN every
state in the United States.
%. That we recommend that the
National and International Unions,
CITY Central Bodies and other atfiliat-
ed organizations appoint permanent
educational committees to cooperate
fully in the development of this move
ment; and we further recommend that
these organizations undertake active
affiliation with the Workers Educa-
ton Bureau
