ing date.
In the national bank group the
pivotal institution was the National
Bank of Washington. who's loss of

group Riggs National reported an in

Special Dispatch to The Star.

DETROIT, October 15.-Widespread
use of the railroads by the automo-

dicated in the compilation of the Ma
t1onal Interstate Commerce report
made public by James S. Marvin.
chairman of the Conference of the
Automobile Traffic Managers. meeting
here yesterday.
significant feature of the report
Is that the Western and Southern
lines had large volume of business
as well as those roads in the terri
tory of the automobile factories.
Great Help to Railroads.
While the figure of 734 900 repre-
sents the original carloads. this be-
comes multiplied as different railroads
handle the car, so that the sum total
Of carloads hauled by the different
roads is 1,844.534 While Western
lines get but 100000 original carloads.
they nevertheless transport 307 900
carloads
The figure of $4,000 carloads of
freight originated represents only the
automobiles, motor trucks. chassis
bodies and wheels and parts, except
tires and chains. 1t does not include
gasoline. road-building material and
these items have been classified by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, but
the total was estimated by the traffic
conference to be 1851 $50 original car
loads, or nearly four times the amount
of freight going from the factories in
complete vehicles and parts.
Central Profits Most.
The New York Central lines origi-
nate the greatest amount Of motor We
hicular freight traffic. 239.355 carloads
the total carloads carried by them be-
ing 372.152
The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton
Railroad is second in point of tonnage
carried. with a total of ,305 900 tons.
This road also has the heaviest aver
age loading per car, with 20 tons, as
compared with the usual average of
80 tons. The reason for this is the
large proportion Of parts and mate
rails carried by the D., r. & l.
AS might be expected, the Michigan
Central has the largest business of
any individual road from the stand
point of carloads carried. This total
Is 169.631, of which 149.347 carloads
originated in that system.

United States Steel, American Smelt-
ing. International Nickel and other
representative industria1s.
Buying Power Enormous.
Remarkable demonstrations of buy
ing power were given in high priced
stocks, which have been repeatedly
mentioned in reports of favorable
split-up or special dividend develop
ments. These activities exerted d
tonic effect on the rest of the list,
lifting many popular issues TO new
high levels for the year. Predictions
that General Motors earnings for the
third quarter would approximate S25,-
600 ,000. the highest ever recorded for
this period, contributed to the demand
for these shares, which subsequently,

PARLIAMENT ID
 VOTE CASH AID
Today'S Gathering Will Be Last
 Before Recess

London, Aug, 8 P-As parliament gathers today 1t enters what Is in- tended to be the last week of the session prior to adjournment for a long summer vacation. The maih business will be to vote the money which will be necessary to carry out the scheme of financial assistance by lthe government to the mine owners until next spring. IL was this pro- posal by the government that led the mine operators to agree to withdraw their notices ending the present working agreement with the miners, preventing the coal strike which was set 10 begin on August i.
 The treasury and other depart ments concerned will spend the next two days calculating the amount which will have to be appropriated for the purpose, and full statement probably will be issued Wednesday and submitted to the house of com mons on Thursday. The estimate originally suggested was f10,000, 900 sterling but unofficial calculations since have arrived at a much high CT figure, 20 to 25 million pounds now being put forward as nearer the mark.
 Opinions continued to be aired ir all quarters respecting the arrange nent for aiding the mine industry varying between the contention that the government weakly surrendered to the trade union threats, and the view that the decision was an act oI wise statesmanship.
 Those who hold the latter opinior maintain that to have permitted z cessation of work in the mines, witt the consequent stoppage of other in. dustries, would have cost the coun try great deal more than the pro posed subvention.
 As far as the London press Is con cerned the view prevails that tn move was not a good one, and ther' was repetition today of the vehe ment attacks on the government anc trade unions. These attacks ar likely to be reiterated in the com mons Thursday, when, as at presen arranged, the prime minister, Stan Hey Baldwin, will announce the scop of the proposed extensive inquir, into the mining industry and tn names of the commissioners who vii conduct it.

Support of Child Labor
 Amendment Being Urged

Washington, Aug. 3 Pl-A pam phlet urging adoption of the pend ing child labor amendment to the constitution has been prepared by William Green, president of the American federation Of labor, for distribution to members of all af- fiiatcd unions.
 Citing figures showing that more than a million children from 10 to 16 years of age are now employed in the nations industries. the pam phlet asserts the questions of pro- lection for children is no longer an academic but a practical one that can be met only by ratification of the pending amendments. State laws were declared inadequate to meet the situation.
 While nearly every civilized west ern nation has made legislative pro- vision to protect its children against industrial exploitation, Mir. Green said, the United States has no na- tional standard

LIKELY TO PICK WOMAN
 FOR CIVIL SERVICE JOB
President Is Expected to Make Ap- pointment to Fill Mrs.
 Gardeners Place

swampscott, Mass. Aug, 3 PS-- Appointment of woman to succeed the late Mrs. Helen Gardener as a member of the U, S. civil service commission was predicted today by White House officials. A number of names of men as well as women have been submitted to President Coolidge, but there was no indica- ton as to whether he had narrowed the field down to probable choice.
 Selection of woman would be in line with the announced policy of the president to recognize women for positions as high in the govern ment service as they already have held

Coolidge took the position that he felt 1t not wise 10 set precedent by rendering to a woman post which had never before been held by one of the sex. It was indicated, how ever, that the president was not averse to giving women recognition in fields where they already had done service,
