The sub-committee today resumed ■ THINGS :i UNUSUAL :: O< > I : By T. T. MAXEY <£. 1*24. Western N«rwsp*p«r Union.) CHICAGO’S UNDERGROUND RAILROAD The main retail and skyscraper din- , trict of Chicago is jammed Into what has been aptly termed the dreaded I "mile square” ami known as "The I Loop." The traffic congestion which I naturally resulted and steadily grows I worse us business increases, produces I myriads of vexatious delays which re- I suit In costs beyond computation, nu- I merous mishatm and the unnecessary I use of countless swear words. In so large a city, the Incessant I traffic necessary to move iiuppllro I from rail depots to stores and fuc- I torles, shipments from salesrooms and I fuctories to freight terminals, mull, I coal tu boiler rooms, ashes mid exes- I vated material for new* buildings to I dumps, etc, reaches a startling mug- I nltmle and becomes an Increasingly I serious problem—the corner of Stote I and Mndison streets, for Instance, is I sal'l to be the busiest corner In the I world. I To relieve the congestion and ent down the delay, a far-sighted corporation constructed an intricate system of underground tunnels through which a railroad operates. Now much of this traffic l« economically, quickly and conveniently trundled through this underground artery of comtm-rce—-dur-ing ii recent year about <lll.i»«» t-ms of freight. M.OUO tom* of coal and 219 c <MM* wagonlonds of excavated material and cinders. ■ Rlm feet wide and 7% feet high. and surrounded by a 12-inch wall of solid concrete. these tunnels are from 42 to 45 feet below the Street surface. Ihe method of construction left no chance for cave-ltis or settling and has not interfered with the foundations of building*. There is little water seepage, the average temperature I* 55 degree*, winter and summer, and the frequent pnasuge of trains provides a natural ami adequate ventilation. There are <l2 miles of throe horseshoesha|ied tunnels, tn which there am 140 crossings, 052 Intersectlmis, and 1.254 switches. The equipment includes i:t2 electric motors und It.oixi cars, each 4 feet wide, 12 feet long, and holding from 1 to 0 tot**, depefid* Ing on the nature nf the load. The track gsuge Is 2 feet. The tunnel ami its equipment represents an Inirot* ment of about S4o.immi.inmi. The operation require* about 570 pe«q>le. Train movements are controlled by telephone—a system of signals operating to avoid colllatons at street later- I sections, in case of nre. a deluge of water Is prevented by heavy tight Q|. ted Iron doors over sll shafts i>-udlas to the tunnel. There are connections with milver sal freight receiving stations, railroad depots, freight terminals, business houses, office (wildings, etc.

Cummings said lie believed th platform, as a whole, could he sul mltted to the full committee bofor night, but that it probably would mi bo lui<l before the convention befor tomorrow. The klan plank which meets witl almost unanimous favor in the coni mittee is a- vigorous denunciation o all secret organizations which seel 'o Impair racial equality and religloui freedom, but does not mention th* j klan by name. After the pouring out of much bi. terness. by delegates during the pa: j few days, and the expression of loud I demands that the klan he named, Il y was with cold, hard political judg i.ni nt that the members of the com''l mittee approached this issue. It was 1,1 agreed that it would be political folly “ to single out the klan for specific lo ,denunciation .thus “reading out of the 11 pt rty” all members of the order. '' Throe members of the committee, 1 however, had been instructed tr fight to the last for <i plank <1 -noun*--tng the klan by name. To satisfy them an Alternative plank along this | line was drafted for submission to itho full committee but all indications * ■ nre that if the klan is to be named i in the platform those advocating such t procedure will have to make good their threats and carry the fight to the convention floor, for the resolutions committee will not make such a report. Th- wet “bombshell* proved to be a dud. Agitation for a wet plank fizzled out quickly. This plank as .adopted .calls for strict law enforcement and goes further in administering a stinging rebuke to the republic-1 an administration for failure to properly enforce the dry law. It was adopted with little opposition. A new plank insofar as democratic I I platforms are concerned, provides ; for a referendum on war. This was written into the platform by William : J. Bryan. It would also amend the constitution, which gives the preri- ; dent the right to declare war with ■ the consent of congress and phi e . such power entirely in th? hands of j the people. * The league of nations proved to 1c [ the most troublesome subject th •- | committee had to wrestle with. The plank which has the general approval * of the committee is a definite com- ’ pronfse between the ideas advanc'd by forrm-r Associate Jn tice Clark, of supreme court, and Ow a D. Your". |
