per cent emergency cut In wages 1or
the men of Canada's two major rail

The addresses, while expected to be

Interested t parties. George Hodge, Ca

James Murdoch, vice president OF the
brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
were expected to sum UP testimony,
which in yesterdays session for the
first time during the hearings was
tinged with acrimony.
Charges Political Motive.
Murdoch. who q few days ago de-
clared his belief that political inf1u-
ence had dictated the proposal for
wage reduction, returned to that theme.
He said: 1--WE have no doubt that many
Widek scattered interests are involved
In this endeavor to bear down upon the
wage earners of Canada.
'dThis thought leads us to wonder II
It is really q Canada first view that
suggests cutting wages of $4,000 Ca

to shareholders in Canada"

ASHTON OUTLINES
RAILS PROBLEMS
Head of Two Associations
Hits Recapture Clause as
Adverse to Credit.

Problems largely Of q financial ma
ture, due for the most part TO general
business conditions confront the rail-
roads as they end the year, r. H.
Ashton. president of the American
Railway Association and chairman OF
the Association Of Railway Executives,
said in a statement today in which he
reviewed the operation Of the carriers
for 1881.
ANY upturn in business which
brought increased trafflc undoubtedly
would be Of immense aid to the rail
transportation systems Of the Nation, "
he said, adding, however, there were
two other demands that should be met
II the roads are TO prosper.
One of these, Mr.. Ashton explained,
is revision Of those provisions of the
transportation act which directly and
adersely affect the credit Of the rail-
ways" and the other, necessary reg
ulation of all agencies furnishing
transportation for hire so that stability
will be established and an equal op-
portunity created among them to COM
pete for the commerce Of the Nation" !"
Cites Heavy Tax Burden.
In the first instance, while not
specifically mentioned, it was evident
LI1dG JlS IGl6IGllCe was 10 Jll6 IGCdpIulG Z
clause, under which railroads are re-
quired to turn one-half of their net
revenue above 6 per cent into a common
loan fund for carriers.
The second item is a reiteration of
the argument of the roads for regulating
competing transportation agencies-both
highway and water.
Ashton recalled also that taxes i'm
pose a heavy burden" on railroads,
saying that it will require their earn
ings for four months to discharge their
tax bill.
Fall in Income Estimate.
Preliminary reports for the year indi-
cate that the class l roads would have
net railway operating income for the
wear of S534,000,000, or l.99 per cent
return on property investment, the
statement said.
In 1890, the net was 1886 900, 600
which was a return Of S.S6 per cent.
Passenger trafie is the lowest IN 27
years, the estimate putting it at 2l,S00,-
OOn, 900 passenger miles, which would
be 535 per cent under the record year
of 1920.
The roads continue to show increas-
ing efficiency and economy in operation,
Ashton says.

JOLIET, ILL.,, March Gloom
parative quiet prevailed, but ma
tional troops remained on guard to-
day over the Joliet and Statewide
prisons where riots of the last week
have resulted in three deaths and
property damage in excess of
S500,000.
Danger of further serious rloting
apparently had been removed. AL
most all the convicts remained
locked in their cells twenty-four
hours day.
Many of the men who had been
on a bread, coffee and water diet
for a full week were in an ugly
mood, but they could do no more
than shout their protests.
Members of a special legislative
committee who were present Friday
when a mild uprising broke loose
planned to call two religious men
as today's principal witnesses in
the inquiry to determine the cause
of the riots.
These two men, the Rev. Eligius
Weir, Catholic chaplain, and the
Rev. George Whitmeyer, who was a
chaplain until recently, held widely
different opinions as to the causes
Of the disorders.
Whitmeyer contends he resigned
as chaplain in protest to what he
considered cruelty to prisoners.
Warden Henry c. Hill, however,
says Whitmeyer was discharged
1t has been charged that Whit
meyer helped incite the convicts by
telling some of them that what
this prison needs is a good riot"
Father Weir, on the other hand,
is a staunch supporter Of Warden
Hill. He contends that prisoners
have been well treated under Hill
and that the whole trouble lies in
the states system of indeterminate
sentences rather than with Off
Gals.
