RAILROAD ENDORSES
MOTOR TRUCK HAULING
Roads For Cooperation, Not COmpe-
titiOn

On the first page of a four page
dining car menu, the Pennsylvania
Railroad is advertising to its patrons
the fact that "a new plan of co-ordi-
mating motor truck and railroad
transportation facilities were recent
ly inaugurated on the Pennsylvania
Railroad system. What is known as
1ess-than-carlOad' or package
freight is handled as far as practi-
cable between Philadelphia, Pa, Will
mingtOn, Del, and intermediate sec
lions in motor trucks instead of in 10
cal freight trains. It is believed that
this new method will bring about
greater efficiency in handling this
kind of freight and so relieve railroad
facilities as to eXpediate also the
handling of long distance and heavy
shipments in regular railroad freight
service"
Railroad systems, as such, have
looked askance at the great road
building programs ever being inflated
by States and helped by the Federal
Government. Their managers have be-
lieved that the more good roads, the
more freight hauling would be done
over them by truck, and therefore, the
less freight there would be for the
railroads. Proponents of roads and
trucks have argued that the highway
transport would relieve the railroad
Of the improbable short haul and by
creating more business, create more
freight for the long haul.
Friends of highway transport and
hard surfaced roads are enthusiastic
over the conversion of the Pennsyl- |
vania Railroad to the idea that the
good road and the motor truck are CO.
operators with, rather than competi-
.Ors of, the freight car.

The basic structure Of the ancient

WORKER DENIED DAMAGES

State of Washington Washes Its

Attorney Refuses Claim.

Olympia, Wash. iii e. ho hum

in the clubhouse of the HOuser Broth
ers' railroad construction companyss
camp near Castle Rock, along about
$50 o'clock one morning. "Ilo-huln,
now to earn another dollar, and an
other cayernous yawn engulfed his
features, when "whang!' the lower jaw
slipped out of its socket and refused to
work thereafter. The glass-iawed
b~lacksmith's helper was put Out of busi-
ness.
1t was a case for the surgeon, and
there was loss of time getting the dis
located jaw back into service. That
clubhouse stood on the property used
by the company for its camp and
equipment. That's how the case came
before the state industrial division in
shape of a claim for time lost and
medical aid.
It was not represented that yawn-
ing was an extra hazardous employ
ment, but that the victim of yawning
was engaged in the extra hazardous
employment of railroad construction
and met accidental injury on the prem
ises of his employer. And there We're
precedents that came near the line.
For instance, there was the case Of II
disciple of Henry who broke his wrist
cranking his car To % home after quit
ting work. Application of the word
premises las been "A perplexing
question.
The matter of the yawn and the
claim was discussed with the attorney
generals office and the claim finally
denied by Kenneth Durham, supervisor
of industrial insurance. This was on
two grounds, one that the injury oc-
cured outside of working hours and
away from the working premises, ana
second, that the alleged injury was
not due to "trauma,' or wound caused
by violence.
So the victim yawned and suffered
in vain The state washes its hands
of the affair.

are gradually becoming settled. Mill
tary law has been discontinued and
sufficient temporary structures have
been provided to care for all who we're
without shelter, says a cable received
by the Far Eastern division of the De
partment of Commerce from its Tokyo
representative. 1t is unotlicially esti-
mated that reconstruction expendi-
lures during the first five years will
reach only $525, 100000, of which
amount 100000 will be spent in
Tokyo and $4,000 900 in Yokohama,
indicating that either the damage
caused by the earthquake was not as
great as 1t appeared, or that the pro-
gram of reconstruction will be carried
out over a long period of years.
To Postpone All Loans.
1t is stated In Tokyo that the 1921
1925 budget estimates will be reduced
to about 1,276,000,000 yen, compared
with the current budget estimate of
1,346, 100000. This decrease of 10,
100000 from the current budget zig
ures will go a long way toward offset
ting an estimated decrease in revenue
during the coming year of about 49,
100000 yen. The minister of finance
that all schemes, including
loans planned prior 10 the earthquake,
viii be postponed during The present
financial year. and as a first step to
ward increasing revenues the govern
ment contemplates raising domestic

France to Repay Wal Loan.
The money market continues easy
with the exchange rate on an even

due to lack of sufficient security.
'OyersubscriptiOn of The 100000

increase in postal savings indicate gen
eral financial strength. which is in
creased by the amalgamation of 100
private banks under the leadership of

intention of France to repay Il Wal
loan of 100000 yen, made in Japan.
