PUBLIC IS DIVERTED
 FROM RAIL PROFITS

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Railroad fnan- ciers are feeding the people moon shine" regarding railroad values to divert attention from railroad profits, is the suggestion of Donald R. Rich berg, attorney for the shop men and counsel of the national conference on valuation of American railroads
 The attorney, together with asso- ciates, have prepared an answer to the many vague and questionable statements made regarding railroad conditions. t,
 The era of frenzied finance is not over," the attorneys say. "The North ern Pacific and Great Northern roads are completing the purchase of the Burlington road without the payment of a dollar, the entire purchase price --$2o7 ,ooo, ,ooo-being paid by the pub lie through excessive rates.
 "The era of scandalous manage not ended The rascality of the $Ioo,- COG, ,ooo Cleveland terminals project, involving the New York Central, the Pennsylvania and Nickel Plate roads has not been fully accomplished, but a bad odor is noticeable.
 '"The interstate commerce commis- sion admits that under the valuations act 1t must ascertain the original cost of railway properties, yet it has failed to do so, and says it can not be done The conference attorneys are seeking to prove it can be done
 "Why should the railroad execu- tives find it necessary to bootleg 'moonshine" all over the country concerning these questions? Possibly it is the hope of diverting public at tention from their own private profit making o1t of public service"

Vacation Necessary

New York, Aug. 4.-No one can af- ford not to take vacation, for health is worth more than money, according to Dr. Matthias Nicoll, jr., state com missioner of health.
 "A vacation does not necessarily mean going away to an expensive hotel" he said Your dictionary will tell you that it means freedom from your usual duties. There are distinct advantages in new scenes and new faces, but these can usually be ob- tained at small cost at a short dis tance from home, if necessary. Most people get the best kind of rest and pleasure at small camps, where living conditions are not nearly so good, but the total effect of scenery, new activities, the ability to do and dress as one pleases is such that they re- turn home mentally and physically in condition to do more and better work"

IGNORE RAIL LABOR BOARD.

Chicago, Aug. 4-The Erie railroad continues to ignore the railroad labor boards order against contracting its repair work. The Lincoln Engineer ing Company has the contract and is paying from five to 10 cents an hour less than the wage of similar classes of railroad workers.
 The labor board also rules that the company has made itself liable for a money recovery to every employees who suffered loss of compensation when the carrier arbitrarily reduced the wages of crossing watchmen, flag men and trackmen in violation of a decision by the board.
 The Western Maryland railroad has been published by the board for vio- 1ating the boards orders. The rail- road refuses to abolish contracting of its work.

WORKERS PLEAD
 GUILTY UNDER THE
 THREATS OF MOB

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 4-Federal Judge Jacob Trieber has refused to cut red tape and order the release of Vurlen Orr and Luther Wise, Mis- souri & North Arkansas railroad strikers, who confessed to burning railroad bridges on the advice of a judge who told them if they did not plead guilty their lives would not be spared by the mob. He then sen fenced them to seven years in the penitentiary. ..
 Federal Judge Trieber refused to release the prisoners on writ of ha- beas corpus. He told them they could ask the governor to pardon them that they should beg" for justice so clearly due them. Former Circuit Judge Mitchell tes- tihed that he advised Orr and Wise to plead guilty to burning bridges and take penitentiary sentences to save themselves from mob violence The former. judge is now acting as attor- ney for the workers.
 The two strikers, Judge Mitchell said, reluctantly accepted his advice, after declaring that they were not guilty, and were sentenced to seven years each in the penitentiary by Cir cult Judge Shinn.
 Wise and Orr told Judge Trieber they were threatened with lynching unless they pleaded guilty to the charge, and again declared that they were not given an opportunity of a fair trial at which, they said, they could have established their inno- cence.
 Former Judge Mitchell testified that Orr and Wise at first entered a plea of not guilty, but that the mob outside the court house, numbering several hundred armed men, uttering threats against the strikers, became so demonstrative that he feared for their lives and prevailed upon them, after considerable argument, to save themselves by taking penitentiary sentences.
 This same mob 1ynched a striker at Harrison, January I5, last, and drove 300 railroad strikers and their fam flies from the town. Officials of the Missouri & North Arkansis railroad issued a public call for all citizens to "uphold law and order" The mob was the result of this call.
