CHICAGO. January 2.--Samuel M.
FELTON,, president of the Chicago
Great Western railway and chairman
Of the western railway presidents
committee on public relations, has
sent an open letter to Senator-elect
Henrik Shtpstead OF Minnesota criu-
cizing him for alleged mJsrepresenta-
ton OF railway matters In q speech
before the City Club of Washington
on December 5. FELTON, declared rail-
way union leaders who supported Mr..
Shipstead in his campaign seek adop-
tion of the Plumb plan of government
ownership and employe management
Of the railways, but that the\ public
will determine tho, future OF the
eoads. =;
The letter. in taking up several re-
ported statements by Mr.. Shipstead,
said: Another statement made by
you was as follows:
"a railroad train operated by five
men can row carry ten times as much
yet in spite of the great labor cost
reduction per ton mile. II costs the
farmer more to ship and labor does
not get enough to keep 1t from
striking.
Labor Cost Increase.
Mr.. FELTON, said that the average
train now hauls only twice as much
as twenty years ago. Instead OF
labor cost reduction. he added. there
had been an increase from AIS mills
per ton mile in 1901 ito s.a2 mills per
ton mile in 1921, while freight rates
have advanced II per cent in twenty
years. ~ - ~~.'
This great increase in the labor
cost of operating the railroads is Que
OF course" he said, Ito advances In
wages, and has BEEN the principal
cause of the advance in freight rates
of which many farmers complain.
You also said" he continued, the
inefficient management OF the rail-
road operators in declining TO Settle
the strike last summer when the
strikers practically offered to give Ia
will also help to rob the farmers
through expensive operation result
ing.
your constituents among the farm
ers can hardly overlook the fact that
the real cause of the expensive. OPP
Grating to which you refer was the
strike of the shop employees, and that
that strike was entirely without 1usti-

Says the Future of England
+
Depends on More Babies

LONDON, Oct. 22.--England's de-
clining birth-rate Is giving the au-
thorities cause for concern. For
the three months ended in June
the bfrthrate per 1000 of popula-
tion in England and Wales was
only 207. The register general
says that this Is the lowest birth
rate recorded in any second quar-
ter of the year, except during the
period of the war In 1913 it was
2i9. in 1914 145, in 1920 26.6, in
1921 23.9 and in 1922 211. In the
second quarter OF 1928 it fell to
207. which Is drop of nearly
6 per cent. in three years.
"If the birthrate continues to
fall at this headlong rate" observes
the Daily Express, "Britain's very
existence as a nation viii be men
,aced" The paper asks what the
chief causes OF the slump in babies
Is. and gives the answer itself by
saying. First, unemployment, and,

British Empire would cease to ex-
ist. Every child born in these Is
lands is potential producer OF
wealth. II our supply of children

fall like Rome. The empire has
been built up on emigration from
