result of the recent auggeallon of the

It Is understood that the roads mnklns
the Increases havo done a merely In
an attempt lo follow out tho sugges
llon of the Commission Tho ralso Is
deemed not only Inadvisable, but In the
end detrimental to the roads. It lilts
the pocketbook of tho ordinary citizen
and widespread discontent Is bound to
follow, according to rnllfoftd men.
In speaklnir'af the sltuntjon today. It. li.
Wallace, g-prjeral passenger agent of tho
Erie road, declared the Eric has not even
thought of Increasing tho commuter's
rate in nnd about Now Tork.
"We believe," said Wallace, "that the
commuter'B ralo Is already high enough,
and. wo liavo no Intention, In fact, wo
havo not even thought of exacting any
higher Yate from tho people who use our
suburban lines.,
"There han been a general movement
upward of passenger rates following the
refusal of tho lncreaso In freight rates,
but tho advance has bce'n mostly In
Interstate traffic and tho abolition of
5, 10 and E0 per cent, discounts on round
trip tickets. The commission suggested
that tho passenger department of rail
roads should bo self-supporting Instead of
throwing tho burden of maintenance on
o freight departments. To this end
iioy suggested that passenger rates bo
.rolced wherever It was possible without
NUcrfcrlng with ratca fixed b statute or

'tatcs. The commission suggested that

The suggestion of tho Commission along
nls lino was mado along -with another
ithnt commercial companies having
switches or short branch lli3 to their
plants should pay extra switching rates.
This was tried out by tho roads, found
faulty nnd finally reversed by tho Inter
state Commerce Commission The Increase
In commuters' ratca will bo tried out in
tho same manner, and many railroad
men aro of tho opinion it will meet the
tapie fate as the commercial switching

New York Factory Commis
sion Obtains Evidence of
Pitiful Straits of Working
Girls and'Wornen.
NEW YORK, Dec. 'l.-The State Fac
:
tory investigating Commission opened n
scries of hearings' today to pbtnln facts
af to wages rind lllng conditions of
workers In New York' city and elsewhere
In this State. It was testified by one
agent that during a recent trip of in
spection a.fnctory glfl had replied to his
question as to how" she managed to llvo
on 8 a week, by saying:
"When I have to pay for a pair of
shoes or something like that, I don't buy
meat for necks nt a time."
Miss Either Pncknrd vtas called before
the commission to submit her report on
"how -working girls llvo on W." She
cited many cases of the suffrrlng caused
by ouch a wngo nhd told of one case
where n girl said.
"You see yoUrselt tho only thing left
mo to economize .on Is fooVl. I never cat
any breakfast at all. Dv experience I
found that was the easiest meal to do
without."
LONGS FORj 30-CENT MEAT
Miss Packard testified that 'in an Inter
view with' "Miss C. W." norklpg In a
5 and 10-cent store for JU50 per week,
the girl said:
"You know, arimettmes I Just lone for
a good 30-cent meal. Hut I haven't tho
prlco.of It In my pocketbook, so what
can I do? I got 'so tired of these :o-ccnt
dinners year In nnd year out that often I
think I'd rather not rat at all."
It was shown that Interviews with some
SCO working glrlr. of this Stato proved
that ! a week will not supply the bare
minimum of creature comforts essential
to existence. Thcro must be skimping
auinowhcre One girl wltl choose to econo
mize oh food and dress .n trifle better;
another will struggle to Guild up a modest
savings hank account and go without
fire nnd clothing as a result, while others,
seeking a little anuiBeincnt, aro forced
to barely exist between their weekly
visits to tho beach or theatre. Hunger,
cold and the misery of yearning for some
thing better urn common things In tho

Packard.' : -v;;:i v
VISITS AT.MEAI.. TIMES.
".Mrs. S. H.'."-' working In the pattern
department of n big store, tcstlfl:d to
the commission's sympathetic agent that,
since the death of her husband and tho
responsibility nf providing for an Infant,
slio had been In dire straits. By great
gbod fortune" a kind-hearted landlady had
undertaken .to board her nnd the little
ono for S3 50 per week, -with the fur
ther "generous provision that any meals
which the mother failed to take at home
would be discounted from the weekly
dole. As a result, sho Is forced to the
alternative of dining with her friends
'as often as 'possible. To call at meal
times ' was one of the Innocent but
humiliating practices to which she had
recourse.
"I hate 'to do It and feel awfully
cheeky," she said, "but the way I figure
It out Is that I will either have to do
that or else -ask for help from the
charities, and ns long as I am able
bodied I won't do that."

WASHINGTON, Dec. l.-Belglan tillers
of the soil, sufferers by reason of the
war that has devastated their land, will

PRESIDENT FEARS
BIG ARMY WOULD
HANDICAP PEACE
Mr. Wilson Opposes Immc
,l diate Increase in U. S. Mil
itary Forces Because of
Effect on Warring Nations.
WASHINGTON". Dec. 1 - President
Wilson Is opposed lo any Increase In the"
nirol' nnd navy, because ho fears It
would Interfere with his plans for bring
IlUT about peace In the European wnr.
This. statement came from a person who
Is usually In touch with the views of the
Whlto House.
Tho President, according to this au
thority, believes If this country were to
Increase Its preparedness for war at this
time It would set a bad cxamplo for the
European nations, who might, If they
desired, assert that tho peaceful efforts
of this Government wcro not slncorc.
"I am very much nfrald the President
alms to lay the cold hand of death on
the movement If he can."
This statement was made today by
Representative Gardner, of Massa
chusetts, following a call at the Whlto
House to nrrunga for an Interview with
the President on his resolution to In
vestigate the preparedness of the United
States for war
A controyersv apparently has developed
at the White House, for the President's
letter on the subject sent lo Representa
tive Gardner from W'llllamstown, Mass.,
November IS. was made public. Tho
President states he does not have "an
attitude of IndlfTerence" toward the sub
ject and suggests a conference.
SURPRISED AT PRESIDENT'S ATTI
TUDE. Representative Gardner's statement fol
lows: "I am very much afraid that the Presi
dent alms to lay the cold hand of death
on tho movement If ho can. I am n
llttlo surprised .Mr. Wilson believes tho
mere fact of our giving tho question of
our armament a thorough airing might
disqualify us ns a referee wheuthls wnr
Is over. fIt seems to mo that' building
a brace df supcrdrendnoughts sounds even
more warlike than an investigation.
"As to the President's suggestion to
Congicss against adopting my resolution
of Inquiry becauso I denounced German
militarism as n menaco to domocrncy,
fortunately that can bo easily arranged
In the usual vva. Chairman Henry can
Introduce his own resolution, and tho
commission can be composed exclusively
of men who have not revealed their
preferences as between Germany and tho
Allies."
Tho President's letter rend:
".My Dear Mr. Gardner I thank you
fbr the letter you sent mo. You may bo
sure I do not have an attitude of Indif
ference toward the subject you mention,
but I should like very much to havo a
conference with you before the resolu
tion you havo In mind Is offered. In order
to present rny views to you moro fully
than It Is posslblo to do In a letter."
Assurances that tho question will bo
threshed out thoroughly In Congress later
were given by Congressman Swager Shcr
loy, 6f Kentucky, chairman of the House
Committee on Fortifications. He was
summoned to tho" Whlto House following
Representative Gardner's visit.

SLIT IN HIP POCKET
LANDS MAN IN LOCK UP
New Jerseyman Had "Unconcealed"
Weapon; Arrested.
ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. l.-Can a re
volver plainly visible through a silt In a
hip pocket be classified as a "concealed
deadly weapon"? This Is a question that
stumped Police Judge Keffer when Ernest
Snead was arraigned before him on this
charge.
Snead said In court he discovered the
revolver Dn a table. He knew It be
longed to Constable Ernest Jones and
stuck It in his pocket to keep until
Jones should appear, he said. Sent out
on an errand, Snead forgot the weapon
wus In his possession until near the City
Hall.
He silt Ms pocket so that the revolver
was exposed. He believed this would
excuse film. It enabled a policeman to
see the firearm and caused his arrest.
Judge Keffer sent Snead back to Jail
until today, when he will decide his fate.
A conviction means a prison sentence and
One.

WILMINGTON. Del., Dec l.-Whenir
Oeneial T. Coleman du Pont returns from
business trip to New Tork In a. few 'he
days, It Is possible that some of thoso
who are Interested In the matter of
.finding work for the unemployed wll urge
him to start work as soon aa possible on
(he 3,000,000 boulevard which he proposes
t present to the State so that a number
of, men may bo put to work.
It Is declared, though ho has not made
a statement ntl flirt llMnt. thAf nr nf
the reasons why he desires to build the):
rum, now is Decouse it wouiu give employ
ment, to n large number of persons at a
tlmo when they most need It.
At the time work on the road was
stopped moro than a year ago. Gen
eral du, Pont had headquarters In George
town and a vast amount of eauloment '
there, Ho also had a corps of engineers
at vorkat his summer home near Cam
bridge nhd another omce rorce In this
city. The Wilmington office Is still re
tained, but nothing has been done since,
tho caso was taken to the courts
Just how the situation which now exists
Is to be met Is a problem which the at
torneys for General du Pont will prob
ably bo asked to solve In a. few days,
and It Is not thought that anything
short of a decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States that the boulevard
law will stand will Induce him to re
sumo work, as much as ho desires to
do so.
. The cost will be about tl.OOOiOOO.
