Commission on Car Service (lives Out
Some Significant Figures.
Washington, D. C, Dec. i7. Why
there has been a car shortage in the
middle west is graphically shown by
a statement prepared by the commis
sion on car service of the American
Railway association which is now sit
ting in Washington.
December 1 the Pensylvania sys
tem had on its lines .0,000 more box
cars than it owned. The N. Y. Cen
tral was "long" 17,000 cars, the Read
ing and the Boston & Maine each 12,-
oi)0. the .Michigan Central 11,000. the
Erie 10,000, the New Haven 7,000, the
Intercolonial of Canada 4,500 and the
(irand Trunk 4,000.
The statement shows that the Chi
cago, .Milwaukee & M. Paul was also
"long" nearly 9,000 cars and the Wa
bash about 8,500, but they were the
only roads in the middle west which
had a considerable surnlus. The
Omaha was "long" about 1,500 and
tne Chicago & Northwestern about
700.
The Burlington the same date was
short 5,000 cars. It was really short
fi.000 box cars, but had a surplus in
other classes of equipment. The Chi
cago Great Western was short about
2,500 box cars. The Pock Island,
about 10,000; the Great Northern, 4,-
000; the Northern Pacific, about 1.
0O, and the Soo about 5,000.
The commission accuses particular
ly the Boston & .Albany, Maine Cen
tral, Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia &
Reading, New York Central, Michi
gan Central, Wabash and Toledo &
Ohio Central of failing to comply with
the request of the commission made in
an effort to solve the problem of car
shortages. A number of other roads
are named lesser offenders in this re
spect. Congressman Charles F. Reavis of
Palls City, Neb., is preparing a bill
which he thinks will serve materially
to lessen the evils of the car shortage.
He will seek to prohibit the accep
tance of freight by a consignee who
has not a market for it or a place to
store it aside from the car. This,
Reavis thinks, will reach one of the
great evils in the present system.

Milk in Winter.
Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not sup
ply them with grasses and green
food. But we have come to the as
sistance of Dame Nature with B. A.
Thomas' Stock Remedy which con
tains the very ingredients that the
green feed supplies in season, only,
of course, in a more highly concen
trated form. We guarantee that this
remedy will make your cows give more
milk, and better milk with the same
feed

Expect an Understanding On Applica
tion of Adainson Act Possible
Union to Oppose Compul
sory Arbitration.
New York, Dec. 27. Representa
tives of the national conference com
mittees of railways and the four bro
therhoods of railway employes will re
sume their meetings here tomorrow
for the announced purpose of arriving
at some agreement as to the applica
tion of the Adamson law in the event
it is held to be constitutional by the
United States supreme court. The
meetings had to be adjourned to await
the handing down of the award in the
case of the switchmen's arbitration,
which, it was expected, might have
some bearing on the eventual inter
pretation of the Adamson act. The
railroad managers held a preliminary
meeting today.
It was announced in railroad circles
tonight that among the things
which would be considered was an
agreement that would bring the two
forces together in a concerted effort
to fight the president's proposed com
pulsory arbitration legislation. The
railroads, however, are not altogether
opposed to the principle of compul
sory arbitration, it was indicated, pro
viding a suitable plan can lie evolved
looking toward the selection of the
arbitrators.
Confident of Agreement.
Both sides were reported confident
tonight that a mutual understanding
will be reached as to the practical in
terpretation of the Adamson act.
which, it is pointed out, specifies the
hours of labor, but docs not make pro
vision for the enforcement or contin
uation of certain privileges and rates
of compensation which the men now
enjoy and which they believe are
threatened with extinction bv the Ad
amson act.
Rather than make separate appeals
to the courts to decide the many
points that could be brought to issue
in this regard it was reported that
both sides, after agreeing on as main-
points as possible, would consent to
bring their differences for final ad
judication to the Goethals commission
appointed by the president to observe
the operation of the Adamson act.
A representative of Elisha Lee,
chairman of the conference, author
ized the statement, however, that un
der no circumstances will the railroad
seek to vitiate the Adamson act by
any other means than those already
adopted. They are prepared, he said.
to carry into effect the spirit and let
ter of the law, should it be held con
stitutional, and to this end, in accord
ance with recommendations ol the
Goethals commission, precautions have
been taken to safeguard the extra
remuneration of the workers dating
from January 1, 1917, until the de
cision of the United States supreme
court is handed down.
The brotherhood leaders expected
at tomorrow's conference are William
G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen; W. S. Stone,
grand chief of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Engineers,
and Edward L. Sheppard, acting presi
dent of the Order of Railway Conduc
tors. A Most Important New Year's Reso
lution.

vas 1,579,9S1 more than that cast in

It is estimated that Allen Benson,

nearly 200,000 less than the socialist
ticket polled in 1912; and Prohibition

Bigger State Votes.
Every state in the union had a big

The western states showed an in
crease in vote. Oregon jumped 100

California was another 'western
tate showing a startling increase in
he total vote. Four years ago the
-tate went to Roosevelt and the total
ote for the three candidates was 590,

together polled 92S,S05 votes an in

Other Increased Totals.
North Dakota was another state
which increased its voting population
n the four years past by 37 per
cent.
New York had the biggest vote in
historv an 8 per cent increase over
1912.
Ohio's turn to Wilson was accom-

than in 1912.
Texas gained 25 per cent.
The same canvass of figures shows
that the balance of power in the new
house of representatives will be in
the hands of six independents. The
republicans will have a majority of 1
over the democrats 214 to 213, with
two elections contested and still in
doubt.
