R. R. RATE FIGHT
 CURES INDUSTRY
New England Suffers Most, Rich
 Declares in Mass.

Boston, Oct. 22. = Attempts to eliminate commodity rates on rail- road shipments have had a dis couraging effect on industrial ex- pansion in New England, and to some extent at least the building of plants in the south and elsewhere in New England has been due to continual threats of withdrawal of subnormal rates Edgar J. Rich, general and transportation counsel of the associated industries of Mass achusetts, said at its annual meeting today.
 To railroad traffic officials, he said the responsibility to preserve the present system of rate-making. under which New England has pros- pered, rested with them, rather than with the interstate commerce com- mission. By your repeated efforts to eliminate these industrial rates you have to some extent prevented the expansion of industry in New England" the speaker said.
 Addressing himself to the presi- dents and directors of the New Eng land railroads, Mir. Rich declared they were justified in reducing serv- ice if the reduction did not result in loss of traffic, adding: 'The crux of the railroad problem, however, is not operating economy. but traffic efficiency. xxx the New Eng land railroads are never going to be saved unless traffic is maintained and increased"
 Discussing thrift. W. I. Bullard. vice-president of the Merchants Ma tional bank, remarked that if Columbus had invested one dollar at five per cent compound interest when he discovered America, that dollar would now amount to s1,- S42,679,0O0. Miss Agnes Donharf, speaking of industrial savings plans, said that mo man should be urged to save to the point where life be- comes all drudgery and self denial" The speaker discussed the most effi- cient way by which employers might encourage workers to set aside part of their earnings regularly, advising them that the gravest fear which workers have is that having proved their ability to save the wage will be cut as consequence.

Will Not Transfer Valuable Mineral
 Cave to Railroad.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Discovery of mineral deposits in Bat Cave in Arizona has prompted the interior department to retain for the gov ment the site embracing about 500 square feet. which was sought by the Santa Fe railroad.
 Mineral in the form of guano, it was explained today, is reported to be present in large deposits, and the original rock debris in the cave ap- pears to be saturated with nitrates and phosphates. The naturalization is ascribed to the fact that the cave for many years has been the breed- ing place for millions of bats.

Worcester, New Haven and possibly Pittsfield, it has been rumored, would desert the Eastern league next year, but Weiss today makes it known that under no condition will New Haven pass from the Eastern league. New Haven," said Weiss, in a statement denying that the franchise would be shifted, lis one of the backbones of the cir cult, It is the largest city in the league, it has the best and largest park. If New Haven does not operate it can only mean there will be no league"
 Weiss added that with the excep- ton of this season New Haven has been one of the circuits leaders in attendance, although there have been times when 1t felt the fans of New Haven were a bit backward in view of the class of ball offered.
