Railroads Decide
Not TO Ask Boost
In Freight Rates

Trans-continental railroads this
week withdrew claims to the Inter
State Commerce Commission asking
a general ten cent freight rate in
crease on produce shipments.
Action of the railroads to seek
the increase followed a ruling of the
ICC last fall, granting a ten cent

the area on an equal footing with
Phoenix.
Pressure by state organizations,
including shippers and local cham
bers of commerce. however. forced
the railroads to abandon the plan
tc seek the general increase.

CITATION FOR
 DR. GILMART|N
Duggan School Principal hOnOred By Holy
 Cross College

The record of John c. Gilmartir as an educator was lauded by Yer, Rev. Joseph Maxwell, 8. J., presi- dent of Holy Gross college, in : citation read as the honorary de gree of Doctor Literature was con. serred on the local man at the an. nual commencement exercises las week.
 Dr. Gilmartin, principal of Der. nard and Begnal schools and sup. ervisor of the evening schools, ha. written several school textbooks.
 The citation follows:
 JOHN GEORGE GILMARTTN
 Educator, Writer. As one who, in the interest of youth, has de- voted fruitful life to the ob. scurity of the classroom, you have seldom been hailed with the plau- dits of men. Content to find your reward in the knowledge of a work well done, you have toiled laboriously for the advancement of your students in the almost monotonous regularity of the high school class. Your literary gifts, which might have been directed to more fame e-making enterprises, have been constantly devoted to the compiling of texts for the better training in English of the youth of our country. The armies of teachers, who have found en- couragement and help in the many books with which you have supplied them, have known and blessed you for the generosity cf your support. By your clever edu- cational devices you have awak- ened interest where 1t was most needed, in the humdrum classes of grammar instruction. Your Alma Mater appreciates both your efforts and the sacrifice of personal aggrandizement by which they are achieved.
 Therefore, by virtue of the power entrusted to me by the Supreme Authority of the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts and with the full consent of the Board of Trustees of the College of The Holy Cross, I confer upon you the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Literature.
