States liner Leviathan arrived this
afternoon with 1000 bags of Christ
mas mail and go passengers.
Bishop Charles +. Brent of Buffa-
10, who has been attending the mar
Cotic conference at Geneva, was
among the passengers. In state
ment issued upon his arrival he said

prepared the way for solution of
the problem. -.s.'
He said that as result of the con-
ferences the present annual produce
ton of opium and other narcotics
would be curtailed one-tenth. TT
should be stated" Bishop Brent
pointed out, that America strongly
opposed the idea of the conferences,
foreseeing what might and probably
would happen"
Denouncing the first agreement
reached by the conference as traves-
ty, he charged India with being re-
sponsible with most of its worst fea-
lures. Bishop Brent paid tribute to
the parliamentary skill of Congress-
man Stephen Porter of Pennsylva-
mia, the only American delegate re-
naming at Geneva.
+. Mrs. Henry n. Rogers, mother-in-
law of Count Ludwig Salm- Hoog-
straten. with her son, Henry Fl. Rog-

Protest Increase
Wages Enginemer
On Southern Pacific

Chicago, Dec. 21-A committee OF
managers Of western railroads will
file with the United States Railroad
Labor Board tomorrow u petition
asking that the board vacate its re-
cent order awarding an increase IN
wages to engineers and firemen oil
the Southern Pacific system.
The petition alleges that the dect-
sion was forced upon. the railroad
under threat of an interruption Of
transportation" and declares that
''other railways maysalso be forced
in order to avoid Interruptions Of
transportation service, to make SINH
lar settlements The petition fur
ther sets forth that the settlement d.
rectly tends to make necessary an id
vance in railway rates in western
territory.
The order to which objection Is
raised Is that of November 20 cover
ing the dispute between most OF tho
western railroads and the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers and
the Brotherhood OF Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen. The board
awarded an increase OF about six per-
cent In wages, but made this increase
conditional upon modification Of
working conditions and rules which
the railways had claimed were re-
strictive and unnecessarily increased
operating expenses.

elect in connection with the inaugur-
alton and invited him. Mrs. Brewster

viewed said:

There may be some in which we will

Retiring public officials sometimes
feel that no one can fiji their posi- =
tiOns quite as well as they have done,

Railroad Freight
Traffic in October
Heaviest on Record

Washington, Dec. 21-Railroad
traffic in October was the largest for
any single month ever reported, 1t
was announced today by the Ameri-
can Railway Association and the ex-
peditious manner In which 1t was
handled saved the shippers of the
country millions of dollars through
prompt delivery Of commodities to
market.
The new record, the statement
said, was made possible by prompt
loading and unloading of freight
cars, by speeding up car movements,
and by increasing the load carried
per train.
The daily average movement per
freight car in october was 3O.7 miles,
the greatest for any month In history
save October last year. when the
record was equaled.
In analyzing the various branches
of the service which contributed to
the record for the month, the asso =
citation brought out that there was
n daily average surplus Of 100000
freight cars as compared with $4,000
for October, 1898. and about 100000
freight cars were in need of repair
during the period, an increase OF
as. 600 over the same month last
wear. When these points are con-
sidered. the statemnt SAIL, 'the av-
erage movement of freight cars in
october this year was even some
what higher than the figure SO.1
would seem to Indicate"
Other factors were record'aver-
are of 4s.S cars per train during the
month, as compared with 41.sin the
preceding October. The average load
per train also showed high record
Mt 770 tons. as ompared with 722 IN
october, 1923. and the average speed
per freight train was ia miles an
hour. which also was faster than tine
con,narative figure for 1928 or 1920. \
