Hit Rail Earnings
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. ia survey of
leading railroad earnings for the first
nine months indicated earning power
of most roads had been hit by higher
operating costs, together with slowing
in business in recent months.
Profits for common shareholders of
such roads as Pennsylvania, Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific were
smaller than in the comparable 1886
period, despite the fact trafic most of
the time WAS running well ahead of

with Oregon as the cause.
Both nations were claiming it. The
Democratic party's slogan, "Fifty-four
Forty or Fight" meaning an Oregon
boundary line fixed at "a 40'' deg. N.
Lat, had elected James K. Polk Pres
ident. In his inaugural address he
talked of war. Meanwhile, Americans
under Capt. George Pickett, later OF
Gettysburg fame, were entrenched on
San Juan Island, with orders to hold
the islands against foreign aggres-
sion, and a British force was att the
other end of San Juan, supported by
warships.
Thirteen years of diplomatic nego-
tiations finally eliminated in an
agreement to submit the question to
an arbitrator, only because many
Americans considered Oregon worth
less and favored granting it to Can
ada entire. Wilhelm decided in our
favor, but the boundary was fived at
40 degrees The treaty settling the
dispute was proclaimed by President
Polk, 81 years ago today, Aug. 5, 1876
and the Star Spangled Banner raised
permanently over Oregon.

ern roads must bear the entire bur-
den of the reduced rates, Mr.. Win
borne declared. Which means that
the northern roads are objecting
strenuously to losing any part of the
revenue they are now deriving from
hauls into and out of the South. For
example, if the present revenue from
a 81 freight shipment is divided 80
cents to the northern and so cents to
the southern railroad participating in
a given haul, the northern road con-
tends it should still receive so cents,
leaving only IS cents for the southern
carrier if the differential of rs cents
were removed Under this sort OF
compulsion, Mr. Winborne indicated,
the southern roads have naturally re-
fused to join hands in asking for re-
auctions. f"H
Battle For Supremacy
The wage and hour kill and the
fight for removal of differentials are
all bound up in battle for industrial
supremacy between the North and
the South, the State utilities regulator
said. He expressed the opinion that
there is really very little of social
improvement" in the present cam
paign for a Federal law governing
wages and hours. The movement is
purely economic and is backed by
large northern industrialists who have
seen the South as making dangerous
inroads upon their one-time monopoly
of SO many manufacturing and indus
trial fields.
The present effort of the south
eastern states in the matter of rate
adjustments marks the very first
time that all of the affected southern
interests have been able to get to-
gether in a concerted effort, Mr.. Win
borne said.

New York, Aug. 5-Portrait of a
New Yorker: She is drifting into the
middle years now, but she still bears
traces of the beauty that made her
popular and spoiled as a girl. She
prides herself on being a Compleat
New Yorker, but actually she has
spent only a few weeks here in the
last ten years. She is always pass
ing through, on her way to various
resorts inland, at the shore, or to
Europel and remote parts of Asia.
The other day when I saw her she
hah Just lcome back from a trip
around the world It was her sixth
circum-navigation of the globe. Each
time she brings back some new and
obsessive enthusiasm. This time it is
the Japanese No plays.
"Our theatre is crude and thin COM
pared to the No plays" she raved. Il
! am having a theatre built on my coun-
try place and if it's the last thing !
ever do I'm going to import troupe
of No players. Probably Americans
won't understand them, they are SO
beautiful"
Il never knew before that you
spoke Japanese" 1 remarked.
ooh, I don't. Only few words.
But to love the No plays you don't
have to speak Japanese. You react
nuances of the play. They are pure
symbolism" fs-e M IL
She is already planning another
trip. This time she will go to Siam
and the Malay Peninsula, to Ankhor-
Wat and the temples built in the dawn
of time in the jungle. She thrills to
talk about it. Of course, ] forgot to
say that she does not travel alone;
her husband goes along too, but you
scarcely remember him five minutes
after you have met him.
He is a pale, thin little man who
had the double fortune or misfortune
according to your lights, of marrying
her and inheriting half a million dol
lars twenty years ago. He always
looks tired, as indeed, I suppose he
must be, keeping up with his wifes
boundless vitality and restless urge
to be on the move.
She will be in New York a week or
so, then she will go to her country
place and make plans for her next
trip She was born on Manhattan Is
land, but she does not even know the
names of the various points of inter
est about the town-or she has for
gotten them. She can tell you all
about Soho, she can map the gard
ems of the Luxembourg, she knows the
Tivoli in Copenhagen but she does
| not know how you get to Coney Is
land. She can tell you how to get
from Potsdammer Platz to the Wan
see, but she is at loss about find
ing her. way to Flatbush. She can reel
off the principal Swedish writer's OF
! Importance today, but she never reads
| a book by an American unless it has
Continental standing" whatever that
| might be.

pursued the latter course. This inves-
tigation is now going forward with
full vigor with all the southeastern
states united in assisting.
South Can't Compete
eff Congress passes wage and
hour hill with anything like seventy
cent hourly minimum, as is proposed
by the House committee, it will be alb
solutely impossible for southern in
dustry to- meet northern competition
under the now existing handicap of
rail rate differentials originally i'm
posed because, of the railroads con-
tention that the more sparsely settled
South. did not return the same operat-
ing revenue per mile as did the more
populous regions of the north said
Mr.. Winborne.
The reason for the differentials no
longer exists, he said, pointing to the
fact that the Southern Railroads last
annual report shows that the railroad
derived more revenue per mile in
North Carolina than in any other
state in which the system operates,
including numerous western and mid
western states. Changing conditions
which have turned a large part of
the South into industrial regions has
brought about a condition where the
operating revenue per mile In Dixie
is now comparable with that IN other
sections.
Railroads operating in the South
would now be glad to join with the
states in asking removal of the differ
entails if it were not for the fact that
northern railroads are contending sc
vigorously before the Ice. that if any
differentials are removed the south !

will have to buy more: otherwise it
will be reduced to primitive swords

hasn't the money or the credit to do
additional buying.
Assuming that the struggle sim
mers down to an issue of mere cold
steel, re1a:tiNitN in the number of
blades will begin to count. On that
basis China outclasses Japan fourier

Speed Essential
The situation is, somewhat as it
was at the start of The last world con-
flict.
The Germans realized then that
speed was essential to the success of
their campaign; that it would be at
least difficult for them to keep up
their lick if the affair dragged
along. They thought they could win
before their iBferiority in staying
power began to signify. It was bad
guess.
The Japanese are in the same fix.
They are gambling that they can b,
fast enough to triumph while the rest
of the world is still fumbling.
Maybe they can maybe they can't.

PULP MILLS BOOST

Two Huge Plants Locating

Raleigh, Aug. 5.-Coming of pulp
mills to North Carolina has given
distinct impetus to the States refor-
estration and general forest conserva-
ton program.
Activity of the Department of Con-
servation and Development since an
nouncement was made that pulp mills
would be located alt Plymouth in
Washington county and at Acme in
Columbus county has been frankly
quickened, and the appointment of F..
H. Claridge as head of the State for
estry nurseries in Johnston county,
near Clayton, was made in order to
broaden the scope of the departments
conservation program.
The nursery at present is producing
about three or four million trees
yearly, and it is now planned to step
up this figure by at least so per cent,
according to j. S. Holmes, State for
ester. The State agency, too, plans
to take over the Resettlement Admin
istration nurseries and thereby add
further to the number of young trees
available annually for planting.
The department plans to cooperate
with the pulp mill companies in re-
placing and replanting trees, acting
through experts who will be able to
contact the land owners and give
them technical advice about methods
of planting, growing and preserving
woodlands.
The department also plans to
spread and intensity it's program for
tho control Of forest fires which in
the final analysis is the basis of al!
forestry programs. At present approx
imately 60 of the States counties are
cooperating in the forest fire pro,
gram.
