Tour meetings were held Inst night In or near Philadelphia; b tho Chestnut Hill and Germantown Improvement As sociation, 6700 Germantown avenue: the Mnnnytulk Ituslncsrf Meh's Association, Main and Grape streets; tho 1'rankfortt Hoard nf Trade, and the Neighborhood Club -of Cmwyd and Bala. Other meeting!) hac been arranged at Norrlstown, Ardmore, Wajne, Naiberth, Ovcrbrook and Oak Lane. Announcement of n date on which the Public Service Commission will hear com plaint Is eagerly awaited. Many of the I a?oclntloni hac determined that It will be best to make a personal protest rather than Bend a fornnl letter, and for this reason they nrc endeavoring to have a data for a public hearing in Philadelphia set promptly. Two hundred commuters and many other residents of Lansdnle are Indignant at the Increase In passenger rates, but no action to protest against the Increases has been taken, although Burgess A II. Landls said today that ha was willing to call n meeting If It was the wish of tho people. He said' "From a business man's viewpoint the Increase will bo a good thing for the business men of Lnnsdale, but the com munity nt largo will suffer. With In creased rates of fare, our borough cannot hope to grow, nnd It Is not likely that many of the commuters will uro the lines of tho Lehigh Valley Transit Companj to get to their work In the clt, as tho Journey'would require too much time nnd it is necessary to change cars at Chest nut Hill," Ambler Is aroused at the action of the railroad, but It wns said today thnt no meeting had been planned. Hllwood Pose)-, the Burgess of Ambler, Is a com muter hlmsolf. SUBURBAN TENANTS ALAItMHO. "Tho Increased rates don't nrfctt the people living nearer the cltj so much as It docs us," snld a real estate man of Ambler, "and It Is bound to drive the tenants who livo hero closer to their work. When a man considers renting a house out here he wilt Immediate! udd $S train faro a month to his expenses. Many will not pay that much to liavq a homo In the countrj, nnd instead will seek a homo In a more convonlcnt part of tho city. Tho man who owns his own homo nnd is cmplojed In the city has no al ternative and has to pay tho Incrcnsed fnres." Residents living nlong the Main Lino of the Heading havo already mado Inquiries concerning tho rental of houses nnd apartments In Tlogn. according to Charles W. Hueter, president of the Tlogn Trust Company nnd a real estate man, with oftlcen at 1TCK1 West Tioga street. "Since tho announcement of tho Increase In railroad fnres, many residents of tho suburbs have inude Inquiries nbout housei In order to be nearer tho city and cut down expenses," said Mr. Hueter. "The railroad Is showing a bad spirit and the Increased rates Is bound to drive tho suburbanites nearer the city." Ho declared that with seven car lines running Into th city, many residents of Tioga, who formerly used tho trains, would go to their places of employment on the trolleys. Thnt tho Increase In railroad fares will hasten the system of rapid transit In this city is the opinion of William n. A'oll mer, 4)21 Germantown avenue, u member of the real estate firm Of Wick & Voll mer. "With the Increased fnres," sold Mr Vollmer. "the people In this city will urge that the now rapid trnnslt sstem be started nt an early date " Ho predicted that manj of tho icsl dents of the suburbs, rather than pay the new Tates, would move Into tho. city nnd move Into houses In the northwestern part of tho city. NEW TRANSIT SYSTEM A FACTOR Regardless of what may be the Influenco upon suburban sections of an Increase in rates, all unpleasantness for passengers who ride to and from local stations in the clt will bo eliminated by the con struction of the proposed elevated and subway lines Included In tho program of tho City Transit Department, Director A. Merrltt Taylor declared today. The stations where passengers wilt benefit particularly by the construction of the Bubway and elevated lines arc Frankford. Logan, Tioga, Wayne Junction nnd Huntingdon street. Director Taylor said "Should there be a substantial Increase In steam railroad passenger rates to local stations in Philadelphia, the effect of Buch Increase on Phlladelphlans will be entirely eliminated by tho construction of the recommended sunwny, elevated ana necessary surface lines, "Furthermore. Phlladelphlans will thus be enabled to travel by way of the recom mended system, more conveniently, com fortably and economically than at pres ent regardless of any possible change of steam railroad local rates or sche dules." In this connection It was pointed out that any "Back-to-Phlladelplila. move ment" among suburban commuters will be another factor In bringing the pro posed subway and elevated lines Into Im mediate demand. Commuters who return to Philadelphia on account of the In creased faro 'will, without doubt, settle lfi the outlying sections of the city. And It will be these sections that the new subway and elevated lines will partic ularly benefit. Officials of both the Pennsylvania and Heading seem Inclined to discount the uprising among commuters and suburban residents as not worthy of serious con sideration. "Merely newipaper talk" several of them remarked when questioned as to what official cognizance would be taken of the rising protest. At both the Penn sylvania and the Heading offices It was said that the protests -would not be recognized until they were formally made to them. The rumor that the proposed increase is only a "club" to force through the 6 per cent, freight Increase was also reported to the railroad officials. This they refused to discuss. Edson J. Weeks, general passenger agent for the Heading, said: "We want the Increase because, wo peed the money" This, in substance, was the reason for the Increase offered at the Pennsylvania offices as well.

I told them that If Carranza wan slncero he would also an nounce his readiness to give up the of fice of First Chief and withdraw as I had riofio. Gutierrez sent tho wire and the trap was set. "Not 24 hours later came Carranza's frantic message imposing threo new and absolutely impossible conditions. When President Gutierrez wired mo tho text of the Carranza's reply, I laughed until my stomach ached. Carranza had fallen Into tho trap. He proved to the conven tion and to tha world that he never would resign. If tlio convention accepted his conditions ho would promptly Impose a second crop and so on until the end of time. "Upon recoipt of old man's reply, I at once ordered my men to put an end to the armistice and advance ngalnst tho Cnrranza forces with tho greatest possi ble despatch."

"Credit, the very life of trade, the very nlr men must breathe If they meet their opportunities, was too largely In the con trol of the same small groups who had planted and cultivated monopoly. Tho control of all big business, and by con sequence of all little business too, was for the most part potentially. If not actually, In their hands. LABOIt CONDITIONS 1MPP.OVDD. "Labor has been mado something else In the view of the law than a mcro mer cantile commodity something human and linked with the privileges of life Itself.
