THE FREIGHT RATE THREAT
 TO NEW ENGLAND

sSShASeAaA0 Io aAWoyo New England. At the moment there is an effort under way to increase the freight rates, which if success full will cost shippers $1o.oO0. .00o a year additional. New England must pay distance rates for raw material. and must pay similar rates to ship the finished products to some of its marketA The New York rate. prized by New England, is at stake: and also the differential rates on west-bound traffic over the Canadian routes. The latter in the past have been . treasured shield to shippers in fighting the exactions of the trunk lines. This time there is also an attack made upon the differ. ential rates, this through the influ- ence which the trunk lines are said to exercise in the policies of the Canadian lines.
 The eastern class rate investiga. tion has been going on for several years. Hearings were held in Boston in 1925. The object has been to dis cover the irregularities in rates and provide better, rate structure be. tween central freight territory and the East. This led the carriers to present readjustment scheme to the Interstate Commerce Commits sion which is based on mileage. The contention of New England is that a mileage basis will reduce the area in which her industries can com- pete, but is willing to compromise with a plan whereby mileage rates can be used up to distance of about 300 miles of Boston. and that for points beyond rates be blanketed. Chicago shippers. however. strongly urge the mileaEe basis. A mileage basis would increase New England shipments cents a hundred pounds on first class traffic.
 For nearly 50 years New Eng land has shipped goods to the cen- tral territory at the New York rates; but shipments east bound have been higher than the Chicago New York rate. on a scale from 2 cents on first class commodities to ? cent. on sixth class commodities. The car- riers originated the different rates in order to obtain a maximum of west bound tonnage; for every five car loads of east bound freight there are only three carloads going west out of New England. The idea is to avoid transporting ''empties" to the West.
 But New England often has had to fight for the lower westbound rate, and usually won the victory by having recourse to the Canadian differential. There are several Cana. dian lines having access to New England. and in the past they have been willing to provide the lower rate because they wanted the busi. ness.
 Now the possibility is a loss ol both the New York rate and the Canadian differential. An examine, for the I. C. C. has reported that the Commission could not prescribe one rate west and another east, bu, that the railroads could voluntarii, grant the two rates.

BOOK FIGHT
MAY Be RENEWED
Bishops Meeting in England
Recommends Use Subject
to, RevisionS.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 21.-Renewal of the
conflict over the revision of the Church
Of England's book Of common prayer
was .envisaged by the Daily News to-
day when it reported the bishops at a
meeting at Lambeth Palace last week
decided to recommend to the convoca-
ton of bishops the use of the new
prayer book, subject to certain re-
visions"
The convocation meets from July 10
to IL and the recommendation Is ex-
pected to arouse stormy discussion. The
revised prayer book on which the for
mer Archbishop of Canterbury. the
Most Rev. Randall Thomas Davidson,
labored long and earnestly, was twice
fatty rejected by Parliament.
In December, 1927, the revised book
was first rejected by a majority of 33
votes. On June Il, 1928, the book was
again submitted with some slight modi-
f1cations. but was rejected by a ma
jority of As after an intensive two-day
debate. The next sensation was the
declaration Of the House of Bishops,
after four days deliberations, that
until further order be taken" the
bishops could not regard as inconsistent
with loyalty to the principles of the
Church of England the use by clergy
"of such additions to or deviations from
the prayer book of 1862 as fall within
the limits of the proposals approved by
the House of Convocation and the
Church Assembly"

AS ADVISER
TO Jury IS URGED
President of Bar Association
Pleads for Modification of
Court Procedure.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, June I'll
A plea for modification of the rules of
court procedure to permit the trial
Judge to act as an adviser to the jury
rather than assume the rather hunnili-
ating position of a mere figurehead or
colorless moderator" was made today
by Quincy E. Newlin, president Of the
American Bar Association.
ITO see that the facts are aScertained
and made clear rather than submerged
and obscured; that the law is honestly
and fearlessly applied to such facts, and
that no unfair advantage is taken by
any party-his lawyer-this, 1 submit,
is the supreme function of the presid-
ing judge in the institution of trial by
jury" he said.
Newlin was speaker at the Iowa Bar
Association convention. He defended
the system of trial by jury, for the
abolition of which, he said, much agi-
tation has been made.
He disputed the argument that right
of the Judge to comment on the evil
dence would tend to make the jurist
dominate the jury" Such an argu-
ment questions and doubts both the

mobilization, by working in the fac tories. Iris was the hardest task of all, to teach Italian women that after all these centuries their place was really not in the home-during war.
 The second period was marked by the Governments work in stabi- lizing the place of women in in- dustry by economic, hygienic and moral laws to eliminate every pos sible social danger arising from the transfer of women to the factory.
 The last period, says the report, was that of the new system in full operation with hundreds of thous- ands of women working contented- ly under conditions which would not damage their health or morality and with government inspectors watching the factories to see that these conditions were maintained.
 The report shows that the coun- try contributed many more women for wartime industries than the cities Countrywomen not only were more used to hard work, but the factories offered them chance of earning more than they would at home.
