WAR DEPARTMENT
REFUSES CONSENT
Will Not Stand for National Guard
Companies of Less Than One
Hundred Men Each
Benedict Crowe!l. acting secretary
of war, has communicated to Gov
ernor Mc-Kelvie the refusal of that
dep:!i!::ieiit to cciist-nt to his sugges.
t ii ii that the national guard com
panies be cut Hum lo to j men.
The gocii:or wrote it was practically
impossi! to iiv.i luo young men in
i.iany towns who would join the mi
litia, and that this would make more
'.;:' ficult tii ta-k of .netting men to
iili-i therein.
.Vr. Crowt.ll says that a similar re
(jU't has come to the department
from several other states, but that
there are several good reasons actuat
i:;.T the department in ruling against
the request. The chief one is that the
if anlar army requirement is 10 0 men
and the national guard law is the
fame. This decision was the result
of experience in the world war that
justified the belief that future in
fantry resiments must have a uiaxi
ii:,:m of 2"0 men." " '
It is hdd that it is impractical to
have companies of f.. men. since,
when the full war streneth was de
manded, this would mean too much
of a strait: upon the trained men
and would ereatiy delay the getting
ready for participation. Sixty-five
men would be too small a nucleus.
.!T;d as with this number the propor
tion of untrained men would be as
three to one. making it practically a
recruit company, whereas in the 100
standard i adhered to, the propor
tion would be only one and a half to
one.
A ray of hope is found, however,
in the suggestion that a chief of mi
iitia. designed to help out the states,
lie authorizes the division of a com
pany into two platoons, to consist of
from 40 to .o men. stationed in ad
joining towns. II" thinks this will
overcome most of the -objections to
the I'm) minimum standard. He asks
a trial of this method.
With respect to home guards he
ays that sine the war is over their
organization is illegal, and the equip
ment where furnished by the govern
ment w ill be called in.

RAISE IN RATES ON TRUCKING
State Railway Commission Finds the
Old Schedule Low.
The state railway commission has
announced a new schedule of rates
to be charged by the trucking com
panies that come under its jurisdic
tion as common carriers for hire. In
an order issued Friday the terminal
or base rate is increased ik. cents a
hundred, packing requirements are
eliminated and the matter put up
to the truckers themselves, and
changes made in classifactions that
will result in increase in rates.
The matter came befcre the com
mission again as the result of a num
ber of complaints as to the rates and
classification in the original order.
The class rates were said to be in
sufficient for short distances and the
merchandise and single shipment
rates for all distances. The classifica
tion was complained of us unsuitable
to truck transportation and incapa
ble of application by the majority of
truckers on account of its complex
ity. The classification is the same
as that used by the railroads and is
very elaborate containing 10.000
items, and much of its is predicated
upon the condition of shipment as to
packing. The commission admits
that considerable study is necessary
to use it properly.
The commission had made a study
of rates on trucks operating in and
out of Omaha, and finds that actual
experience shows its estimate as to
cost per ton mile was 2 cents too
low. It was found that live stock
rates were not being adhered to. The
commission says thai it does not
blame the small operators for their
inability to apply the classifications
even if they had a copy. The rail
road classification was first suggest
ed by the truckers, and now the
commission finds itself, through ex
perience, in proposing something
more workable.
Where Increases Come.
The new classification will have
the effect of increasing rates upon
merchandise shipments, but the com
mission says this is fully justified by
the record. Most of these were third
class, and did not compensate the
carriers, and hey had to refuse it.
require time and the keeping of cost
data in order to arrive at a scientific
system, but the past experience of
five months warrants the hope that a
sound foundation -will be found in
due time and that the temporary
rates and rules established are in
dispensable to that end.
j It was shown at the hearing that
some of the carriers subject to the

commission's orders had suffered
seme loss of business by the competi
tion of carriers located beyond t he
zone established, particularly out of
Kearney. As the conditions and cir
cumstances surrounding truck trans
portation are substantially similar in
those counties. Buffalo. Phelps and
Harlan are added to the zone.
Cut Out Packing.
The exceptions to the classifica
tion, under which most of the busi
ness moves, govern the peculiar busi
ness of trucking. The requirements
made by the railroads as to packing
are entirely wiped out. and this will
be left to ti e judgment and wisdrm
of the truckers. One reason why
household goods are largely handled
by the truckers is that they require
no packing, save as in the case of
glassware, pictures and the like.

Washington, Nov. 2S. Reports j
that Carranza and Obregon forces in
Mexico City had clashed were re-j

that if they were true the break had
come a little earlier than expected.
San Antonio. Tex., Nov. 2S.
Fighting in Mexico City between
factions dominated by President Car
ranza and General Obregon was re
ported in apparently reliable advices
received here today from the Mexi

Carranza is reported to have fled
to Querttaro for safety. The chief
executive only recently returned to
Mexico City from Queretaro, where
he had been during the fatal illness
of his -wife.
General Pablo Gonzales was re
ported at the head of the Carranza
forces. Details of the reported fight

Obregon. formerly minister of war.
in the Carranza cnbinpt. resigned
recently, after announcing himself
a candidate for the presidency, to be
voted upon nex July. Carranza has
stated he would not again seek elec-

good reason to believe the informa

Information yesterday said that
Obregon reached there Tuesday
night and that there was a great
demonstration in his honor. The
demonstration included a parade, and
much enthusiasm was said to have
been shown for Obregon's candidacy
for president. The arrival of Obre
gon caused display of much partisan
feeling, it was said. Newspapers ad
mittedly favorable to Obregon made
the charge that the train on which
he was journeying to the capital was
purposely delayed by the Carranza
official so that Obregon could no
