Rates now and under two preyiou
rate schedules were cited, and
comparison made between rate
under various tariffs. He made thi
comparison to show that the pres
ent rates are not unreasonable
He also quoted rates past and pres
ent from the Casper territory tt
Montana points, and the rates ex
listing between Seattle and Montana
points.
John d. Dennis, assistant freight
agent for the Northern Pacific
with headquarters at st. Paul. said
that is was impossible to tell from
the complaint what part of the
Northern Pacific road was intend
ed in making a comparison but as.
sumed that it was that portion
from Terry to the Montana line.
He testified as to rates in effect
on this part of the road, and cited
rates to eastern Montana points
from the group 3 or mid continent
al points, with Tulsa as the des-
ignating city.
Oil Men Ask Wait
H. T. Zaremba, representing the
Standard Oil company and the Mid
west Refining company, said that
he had been 25 years in the en-
ploy of the Standard Oil company
and that at present he is chief rate
clerk. He said that the two COM
panies he represents are interest
ed in seeing that rates on petro-
leum products are not reduced be-
low a reasonable level. He said
that instead of using the North
Dakota rates as a yardstick or bas-
is for comparison, he preferred to
use the Montana rates, which he
considered just about right. The
North Dakota rates, he said, are
too low. These rates were prescrib-
ed in a decision in the Information
al Oil case. He would have all of
Montana and part of Wyoming
treated as part of zone 3. He went
into detail about his method for
arriving at the proper rate to ap-
ply from group 8 points of origin
to Buford, Mont. He said that the
International Oil rates are from
s cents to 16 cents per cwt lower
than they should be. He asked that
decision in this case not be made
until a decision is handed down
the Mountain-Pacific rate case,
which has to do with an adjust
ment of rates into Montana. He
the Montana rate is all
and is satisfied with the

and Whiting, Indiana.

SUBURBS

Although three.fourths of the
100000 gallons of water that
have been used daily for the
last week in the Suburban SAM.

from District of Columbia mains,
there is no fear of a water
shortage in nearby Maryland,
officials Of the Washington Sub

today.
The four connections with the
District were made for the ex-
press purpose Of reinforcing the
Sanitary Commissions water sys-

GANG INVASION
LAUGHED OFF

Reports that local rum-runners
were making a last stand on the
Baltimore Boulevard against Mid
western gangsters determined to
monopolize the Baltimore Wash
ington hauling business were char
acterized as ''hooey" today by
members of the underworld here
and some of the county officers
working the road.
Organized hi-jacking has been
practiced with increasing frequen-
cy of late, they agreed, but it is
being carried on by rival groups
of Washington bootleggers and
not by any outside gang. Due to
bad business and increasing COM
petition, hi-jecking has become the
rule and not the exception, one
bootlegger said.
Following rumors that outside
talent was attempting to muscle
in," Maryland State Police recent
ly placed extra patrols on the
highways between Baltimore and
Washington.

TEXAS TOWN

EAGLE PASS, Tex, Sept. 3
ON.SO.-Thousands of residents
of both sides of the Rio Grande
were fleeing to the hills today as
flood waters of the river swirled
over the countryside.
It was feared that drownings
have occurred, some reports stat
ing that II persons have lost
their lives. American and Mexi-
can officials and relief workers
were attempting to ascertain the
number of probable casualties.
The Mexican town of Piedras
Negras. just across the river from
Eagle Pass, was under q heaving
blanket Of water, and $4,000 in
habitants were estimated to have
sought refuge on higher levels.
Approximately 1000 residents of
Eagle Pass abandoned their
homes to flee to the hills.
One automobile, containing two
persons, was plunged into the
flood waters when a bridge gave
way. It was feared that both oc-
cupantS were drowned.

ANGRY CITIZENS
RAID DRY RAID

ALLENTOWN, Pa. Sept. 3
G.N.SO-Prohibition agents who
attempted a routine raid on q
hotel here averred ruefully today
that the whimsical reputation of
the pennsylvania Dutch" for
lethargy and slow-motion fails to
withstand the acid test of stern
reality.
That slow-motion was galvan-
lied into rapid-fire action when
word of the raid spread. BY twos
and threes. the aroused citizens
converged on the hotel. They
found the raiders busy in the
hotel cellar. and this is what the
citizenry did:
They raided the raiders. who
fled precipitately. firing pistols as
they ran.
They chased the raiders to the
roof Of dance hall. -,
When the raiders, astonished
and breathless, fled to safety
over the roof, the pursuers re-
turned to the cellar.
They rolled out a half dozen
of 36 barrels of wine.
These barrels disappeared
none knew whither-before State
police arrived.
Finally, they overturned the
raiders automobile and applied
the torch.

EMPLOYE GROUP
BANS STRIKE
AS WEAPON
Legislation Prime Resort of
Federation of U. S.
Workers.

The newly organized Amer
lean Federation of Govern
ment Employees, unlike its
sponsor, the American Fedora
ton of Labor, will not rely
on the strike to enforce it's
demands, according to it's con-
stitution as drafted for ap-
proval by the convention in
October.
The constitution says:
"Inasmuch as legislation is
the last resort in remedying our
grievances, we oppose, and will
not support, strikes against the
UL'.ed States Government"
Since the new federation will
be composed entirely of Federal
workers, and since all persons en-
tering the classified Civil Service
promise not to strike against the
Government, the clause is a nat
ural one, it is pointed out.

PLASTER FALLS,
WOMEN FLEE

Employees in one of the Gus.
toms offices on the fourth floor
of. the old = Southern Railway
Building, Thirteenth st. and
Pennsylvania Ave. N. W., which
houses various Federal enter
prises, had a bad scare this week
when a large strip of plaster fell
from the ceiling.
The women screamed and ran
from the room when the chunks
began dropping, and although
no injuries were reported, many
were badly frightened.
The fact that the buildings
near by have been demolished,
and this one soon will come
down, gave some workers the
idea the building was crashing
about their heaoS.
