Washington. ID. C.. Oct. 2O.-A new
record for volume of business done
throughout the United States appears
in prospect for the next ten days ac-
cording to preliminary reports 10 the
association of railway executives here.
The flood time of commerce. which
always rolls in upon the railroads in
the closing days of October. will sweep
TO the highest mark ever recorded
probably topping 100000 carloads Of
freight a week unless all advance
indications muscarry.
Such is the answer from the hintcr-
land to the wiSeacrcs of Wall street.
10 For the past two months stocks have
been in the doldrums largely, it is re-
ported. because Wall street feared that
The increase in fall business had flat

The flattcning out in the light of the
carriers reports, appears to be noun

never been piled IN before in the
annals OF American railroaGing.
For six months and week the car

rage of 4 million carloads Of freight

Month in and month ont for more
than half 4 year the railroads have
exceeded every week the goal which
they reached bur twice in 1922. not
at all in 1921 and only four times
in the 1920 era OF initiation.
Prior TO 1920 there had never been
a million-car week.
Last week closed the twenty-scventh
consecutive week of such lOadincs. il
the average tor that period is struck.
The total loadings for those %
weeks. which stretch back TO the last
of March. are stated by the carriers
as 27,0JS,1 JS cars.
High Mark Set.
During the week of October 6. NOR
chandisc and other products to the
extent If 1919, $50 carloads rolled over
The rails.
The highest mark reached was
during the preceding week. when l.
091.2T4 loaded cars were hauled.
That record is one. which it is be-
licved. will fall next week.

holidays and reported recession of

DRY LEADERS WORRY
over next CONGRESS
Both Brandegee and Con-
gresham Graham Re-
fuse to Be Dries

Washington, July 1s.-fhe dry
FORCES in congress, who for several
years have exercised undisputed con-
troll over the legislative machinery
handling prohibition bills in both SEN
ate and house. are looking forward
with some concern to the situation
which seems likely TO confront them
when the next session meets in De-
cember.
By a combination of circum stances
the men now in line for chairman of
the senate and house judiciary COM
mittees which have charge OF prohibit
tion measures are Senator Brandegee
of Connecticut and Representative
Graham of Pennsylvania, both OF
whom voted against the 18th amend
ment and since have steadfastly re-
fused to be counted among the drys.
Senator Brandegee has become the
ranking member of his COMMITTEES
through the successive deaths Of SEN
ators Nelson of Minnesota and Dill
lingham of Vermont, while Mr.. Graz
ham inherited the ranking position
in the house committee through the
defeat of the chairman, Representa-
tive Nolstead, in last years primary
in Minnesota.
Not only did Senator Brandegee op-
pose th- prohibition amendment but
he also voted against the Volstead
act and the anti-beer bill. He took
the position that such legislation was
unconstitutional.
