the Aladdin give mort than twic th
light and burns less than half as much
oil as the best round wick, open tl.-ime
lamps on .the market. Thus the Aladdin
will pay for itself many times over in oil
saved, to say nothing of the increased
quantity and quality of pure white light
it produces. -A style for every need.
$1000.00 Will Be Given

SHORTER FREIGHT TRAINS
Western Hallway Stuff That Short
er Trains Would Not lk of
lleneflt to Shlpers
Chicago, April 23 The executive
committee of the Association of
Western Railways has issued the fol
lowing statement:
The argument advanced by the
train service employees' publicity
bureau that if their demands for
higher wages were granted shippers
would be benefitted by a more expe
ditious freight service, because the
railroads would move their trains
faster and if necessary run shorter
trains. Is fallacious in the extreme.
It is strange logic, indeed, that
suggests meeting an increase in the
hourly rate of pay by abandoning
the principal means by which the
railroads have Increased the elfieien
cy of their operation. As a matter
of fact, the shippers and the employ
ees have profited more from the re
ductions in operating expenses that
have been made possible by handling
freight in larger tralnloads than have
the railroads, because rates have
been steadily reduced and wages
have been steadily increased while
the net return on the capital Invested
to make the improvement possible
has been diminished.
It is declared that "railroads are
loading their locomotives with every
car that they can possibly pull" and
that "car containing merchandise
are held up at terminal points until
enough other cars show up at that
terminal point to make up a long
train."
But the trains that take the long
est time to run between terminals
are not the longest and heaviest
trains, but the way-freights which
stop at every local station to deliver
or receive freight, and which con
sume so much time because of the
number of stops. Many of them are
very lightly loaded. The only effect
of the application of the basic eight-
hour day to this service would be to
increase the pay of the employees in
this class of service, who are now
paid the highest wages of any in
freight service because their work is
arduous and their hours long.
The statement of the brotherhoods
refers especially to merchandise
freight, which, it says, is held up at
terminals In order to make up long
trains. The fact that merchandise
cars are not held at terminals for
tonnage and are not moved In "drag"
freights but go forward in "time"
freight trains on regular schedules
which are rigidly adhered to, and
which fre usually adjusted after con
ference? with the commercial inter
ests. The only freight trait's whose
speed might be increased by reducing
the tonnage are a part of those In
through freight service. Many of
these trains now run at a speed of
126 miles an hour or even faster.
An the train employees are paid by
the trip they would like to have the
speed of all trains Increased to 12
miles an hour so that they could earn
a day's pay in less time. But, a
speed equal to this Is not maintained
on all trains because economic and
commercial conditions have made it
necessary for the railroads to classify
their traffic. Some commodities,
such as livestock, dressed meats and
fruits and vegetables, are highly per
ishable and require fast movement.
They are also, like some other arti
cles, Buch as dry goods, so valuable
that shippers can better afford to
pay high rates for having tlem mov
ed on fast schedules than to have
them moved slowly at low rates. Es
pecially valuable or perishable arti
cles are frequently Bhipped by ex
press, on passenger trains, at rates
higher than are charged for freight.
On the other hand, such commodi
ties as lumber, coal and sand, do not
require rapid movement and on ac
count of their relatively low value
per ton cannot stand high rates. The
railroads therefore haul freight
which is valuable or perishable in
short and light trains on fast sched
ules, while the low-grade, bulky
commodities must be handled in long
heavy trains at a Blower speed. Com
paring the two years of heavy traffic,
1907 and 1913, the increase in the
tonnage of low-grade, heavy com
modities which take low rates w.i'
five times as great as the increase I
the tonnage of all other commodltl t
By greatly increasing the loads ol
their slow freight trains the lail
roads have increased the average
number of tons per train from 30!
in 1904 to 452 in 1914, while the re
ductions in grades, the increases in
t he power of locomotives and other
improvements which have been made
at great expense to make the heavier
tralnloads posible, have also made it
possible to handle them without de
creiu;Li UiC avoras? r?rd of tr?.'r-.
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion referred with approval to this
policy in its 1914 decision in the five
per cent rate advance case, saying:
In certain departments or railroad
ing great advances have been made
In efficiency In recent years, for In
stance, by increasing the trainload
Ing." Aside from the large econom
ic waste involved in only partly us
ing the capacity of locomotives, the
shortening of trains would obviously
reauire more trains and more crews
m m
to handle the same amount or trai
fie. This would mean more conges
tion and consequent delays. Most of
the western roads are still largely
sinele track and every additional
freight train means more meeting
points at which trains uiubt Biop to
allow one to nass the other.
If more trains were run It would
be necessary to provide more main
tracks, more passing tracks and ad
ditional yard facilities. In other
words, it would not only increase op
erating expenses of almost every
kind, but would require additional
investment and an increase In fixed
charges. The policy of the Ameri
can roada In steadily increasing their
iralnloada is the principal reason for
their ability to pay higher wages
Hie receiving lower freight rates
than the railways of any other coun
try, as well as one of the principal
reasons why their capitalization is so
much less than that of the railways
of most other countrlea
To reduce the tralnloads now In
order to enable the train crews to
get over the road faster and thus in
crease their wages per hour for do
ing less productive work would be a
strangely retrogressive policy. The
economic benefits which have been
conferred on employees, shippers
and the public by the increase In the
average trainload are Indicated by
the following facts:
In 1890 the average number of
tons handled per train In the United
States was 175.12. The average rate
of the railways per ton per mile was
.941 cent. In some sections of the
country It was as high as 1.651 cents.
At the average rate per ton per mile
and at Ihe average tonnage per train
in 1890. the railways received $1.65
per freight train per mile. In 1914
the average number of tons of
freight hauled in a train was 451.8.
The average rate per ton per mile
had been reduced to .733 cent, yet
the earnings per freight train per
mile at this lower average freight
rate were $3.31, or twice as great as
they were at the hicher average rate
charged In 1890. These figures In
dicate clearly how the increase in the
length and capacity of trains has en
abled the railways to make greatly
reduced rates to the shipper, pay
greatly increased wages and at the
same time steadily improve their
service. Without the increase Id the
length and capacity of trains either
rates could not have been reduced,
or wages could not have been so in
creased. The denvanda of the brotherhoods
of train service employees for the
"basic eight-hour day" were not for
mulated for the benefit of the ship
pers. They were framed solely for
the purpose of Increasing the pay of
the train employees. To accede to
the demands would increase their
wages by approximately $100,000.
000 a year, which would add that
much to the cost of operation which
the shippers and passengers pay in
freight and passenger rates.
The gratuitous suggestion that the
railroads would not have to pay their
train crews higher wages per day if
they would shorten their trains and
run them faster Is made for the pur
pose of giving the public the impres
sion that the employees are asking
for a reduction in hours rather than
for the increase in. pay for which
their demands provide.

Planting I'oor Corn Thicker
On account of the condition of the
seed corn this year there may be a
tendency to plant thicker than usual
to make up for poor germination.
The College of Agriculture says that
this is a doubtful practice. Often
the germination is better than ex
pected and too thick a stand results.
It seems better to use corn that will
germinate well if such is to be had
in the community and then plant on
ly the usual amount.
