Rail Merger Will Cut Competition, Statement Says • • Existing Channels of Traffic Will Be Maintained' Com missioner at Denver Hearing Declares. Denver, April 19.—It la obvious that consolidation of railroads will elimi nate competition betwen the con solidated parts, but existing channels of traffic will be maintained. This statement was made by Commissioner Henry Clay Hall at the Interstate Commerce commission hearing on tentative plans for consolidation of the Sante Fe, Denver & Rio Grande West ern and Colorado Ac Southern rail roads., Mr. Hall interjected his statement when the question arose, during the examination of a witness, .as to the effect of the proposed merger on com petition. Fred AA'ild, traffic manager of the Denver & Rio Grande AVestern, was on the stand when James A. Marsh. Denver city attorney and proporent of merger of tho Rio Grande with the Burlington system, sought to ques tlon him regarding the effect of the Sante Fe consolidation on competition, it being the contention of opponents of the Sante Fe plan that it would destroy competition. ‘‘I object to being made a witness for either Denver or Pueblo." Mr. Wild replied, declining to answer Mr. Marsh's interrogation. He explained that he was a witness produced by counsel for the receiver of the Itio Grande, who is taking neither side in ihe merger controversy, but is merely assisting the commission. It was at this point that Commissioner Hall ex plained the effect of the merger. Mr. Wild and E. R. Dickinson, audi tor of the Rio Grande, as well as Henry McAllister, jr., counsel for the receiver gave testimony designed to show that the Rio Grande is not as "Inefficient” as stock growers and coal operators pictured it to be at Wednes day's session.

Omaha Legion to Seek National Convention Leading members of Douglas coun ty post of the American Legion are considering making a bid for the 1925 national . legion convention, Com mander llird Stryker said yesterday. Some reasons which probably will be put forward as to why the convention should be held in Omaha follow: Omaha is centrally located with ex cellent railroad facilities. Hotel accommodations are ns good as in other cities. in a word, according to Mr. Stryker, Omaha is the ideal spot of the country for such a convention; RIALTO MUSIC/ SHOP/ ^ See Us First for New ^ f Columbia \ Records and Grafonolas RIALTO, \ MUSIC/ shop/ . ^ Mail Orders Promptly Filled The latest record«releascs of every make you will find in our complete stock.

Comfort is a vital matter and months of honest wear and the proper protection from weather elements are also of first consideration. If his feet were to become “wet”, who knows what might be the result; or if, because of improper fitting, his shoes were to cause angry bunions, painful corns, fallen arches, or any one of the many other foot troubles, his efficiency would be grossly impaired. W. S. Stryker is Omaha’s COMFORT shoe specialist. He has studied foot needs for more than 25 years. He knows the faults of shoes as well as the kind of service men give them. And in meet ing all of these demands he created the Stryker “Special Service” Shoe for Men. t The tests of the postal service men, the policemen, the firemen, the mechanic or the carpenter are none to severe for these won derful shoes. Yet they are not heavy, clumsy or ugly in their ap pearance, instead they are good looking, shine well and are mod erate in price. These shoes are of selected leathers, inspected; for remember, they must deliver months of wear. # * You should try a pair of these Special Service Shoes; they come in either high shoes or oxfords; they are in different weights and there is a style for every foot. Come let us try a pair on you today; you’ll find greater SHOE SATISFACTION as well as real com ’ fort and an actual money saving.

A-3820 $1.00 All Columbia Records are now made by the new process EVERY Columbia Rec^ ord made since the Columbia new process was perfected, has been con structed with the super quiet new surface. Not only has this added musical charm been given to the rich symphonic selections, but also to the songs of the hour, the lat est dance music, and the always dear old-fashioned melodies. Never since the phono graph was invented have the music-loving public been able to listen to phonographic music so nearly like the original in unmarred melody, so de lightfully free from the scratch and scrape of needle noise. This never-before known surface quietness results from the Columbia process of constructing records in layers or leaves —a hard centre core over laid with a material of such exquisite smoothness that the noise of needle friction is never created. A* ia example of this groat musical accomplishment go to any Columbia Dealer and aaic to hear record A-3831. It ia "Peggy Dear,” ona of the lat ent fox-trcts, gloriously played by the Happy Six. It ia like listening to the orcheatra itself. And as you listen, note the absence of that old, irritatiag (rinding sound of tbo needle. All Columbia New Proc ess Records are equally delightful. They can be played on any phonograph. The Columbia process is patented. Only in Columbia New Process Records can you secure this perfect reproduction of perfect music.
