Favor Equalization of Rates, However, in Chicago HearingTestify to Advantage. CHICAGOO, July 30. Bitter opposition to the application of the disque mileage scale of freight rates to supplant the existing grouping plan scale in Illinois was voiced by Illinois shippers testifying at the hearing of the Indiana-Illinois freight rate controversy Tuesday before Commissioner Meyer of the Interstate Commerce commission. Illinois witnesses were particularly caustic in their arraignment of the railroads' attempt to obtain the disque, or Central Freight association scale, for their freight, charging that is is part of a plan to push the mileage scale over the group system which features rates in Illinois and the western states.

Rate differences between Indiana

and Illinois are admitted, and two lm

portant witnesses during the day advocated the adjustment of these. The

tone of the defendants toward the In

diana shippers is conciliatory and of

fers of conferences to adjust the rate differences have been made by witnesses of importance in the case. As the Indiana part of the controversy

has been submitted, there is little reference to the Hoosler situation, beyond continued admissions of the rate

difference between the two Btates. Opposed Rate Advances.

Witnesses for the Illinois shippers

dealt with the petition of the Illinois railroads for general freight rate increases through the application of the

disque scale. H. M. Slater, transporta

tion rate expert of the Illinois Puplic

Utilities commission, and Murray M.

Billings, assistant traffic manager of

the Illinois eteel company, occupied

the stand during the entire day and

divided their time opposing rate ad vances.

The hysteria being indicated by the

Illinois shippers against a western

competition with less rates causes the Indiana plaintiffs to feel that already

the shoe is pinching the Illinois de

fendants. Indiana shippers have been

under such a handicap for more than

two years, they testified.

In refutation of the testimony of

George Griffin of Schnull & Co. of

Indianapolis, wholesale shippers, that

his company has lost several thousand

dollars of Illinois business by the dis

criminatory rates, Mr. Slater attempt

ed to read a letter assigning jobbers' competition as the cause for slump in

his business. Insight into Growth.

An insight into how Illinois gTew

in a few years into the third greatest manufacturing state in the union by use of the grouping or preferential

rate system was outlined at the morn

ing session by Murray M. Billings, as

sistant traffic manager of the Illinois

Steel company. His description of the method amounted to this statement: "The railroads said, here is a prairie. We will give you rates, now go and build cities." He said that under the grouping system the industrial centers were formed and expanded. The railroads serving this Industrial territory are mostly the Western trunk lines and their branches. An analysis of Mr. Billings' testimony on the group plan shows that Illinois manufacturers can exploit their own 6tate markets and then at an advantage put their products into other states on the basis of the same competitive mileage at a cheaper figure. The witness regarded the rate system of his state as "complex," built up after years, of experience.

NEW YORK. July 30. Evidence Is'

acumulating in the flies of the govern

ment to show that the negroes of this country are the object of a vicious and apparently well financed propaganda,

which is directed against the white

people, and which seeks, by news

papers, pamphlets and in other ways to stir up discontent among the negroes, particularly the uneducated class in the southern states, says the Times. Documents in possession of

the authorities show that among the

radical organizations active in this propaganda are the I. W. W.. certain factions of the radical Socialist ele

ments and Bolshevists.

A federal official exhibited to the

Times a few days ago a recent copy of a negro magazine which is said to

have a large circulation in sections

where there are considerable negro

populations. The magazine was illus

trated, and is printed on the finest of

news-print paper. It contained sev

eral articles in which the negroes

were urged to join the I. W. W. and

the left wing Socialist organizations.

To Build . New Society. In one article, the author of which

was said to be a widely known negro

writer, the negroes were urged to

'form an alliance with the I. W. W.,

the Socialists and the Nonpartisan

League, to build a new .society of equals, without class, race, caste, or

religious distinctions. In the same publication was another article, captioned "The March of Soviet Government," which in part read : Still it continues. The cosmic tread of Soviet government, with ceaseless step, claims another nation. Russia and Germany have yielded to Its human touch, and now Hungary Joins the people's form of rule. Italy is standing upon a social volcano. France is seething with social unrest. The triple alliance of Great Britain, the - railroad, transportation and

mine workers threatens to over

throw the economic tand political bourbonisms of "Merry Old England." The red tide of Socialism sweeps on in America. South America is in the throes of revolution. Soviet government proceeds apace. It bids fair to

sweep over the whole world. The sooner the better. On with the ! dance. An excerpt from an article that recently has been circulated widely among the negro population follows: Negroes must get into the Socialist party. Socialism is the political party of the work people. Negro plutocrats should belong to the Republican party, but negro working people should join and suport the workingmen's party. That is the Socialist party in all countries. It draws no race, creed or color or nationality lines. No Support From Educators That the new agitation draws no support from the foremost negro educators is indicated by the following reference to Professor Moton of Tuskegee Institute and other leaders in an article captioned "New Leadership for the Negro": The negro needs new leadership.

The old leadership has failed miser

ably. Du Bois and Kelly, Miller, Hick-

ens, James W. Johnson, W. H. Lewis and Charles W. Anderson, W. T. Vernon and Roscoe C. Simmons, W. H. Tyler and the politicians of Chicago have simply held jobs, produced school boy rhetoric, lulled negroes into a false sense of security. Another set of leaders like George E. Haynes, Emmet Scott, Dr. R. R. Moton, Fred W. Moore and T. Thomas Fortune have preached a gospel of satisfaction and content. The follpwing is a reference, printed in a widely circulated negro publication, to the conviction of Debs and other radical leaders for violating the war laws of the United States: The recent conviction and sentence of the national socialist officials, the supreme court's confirmation of the convictions of Eugene V. Debs and Kate Richards O'Hare, definitely stamp the United States as the most archaic, antiquated and reactionary of the alleged civilized nations The

best and bravest, the noblest and most

courageous, are in the dark and cav

ernous prison cells of this country. . .

We must give more consideration to those men who will face jails and cells for a principle, and less to the smug, sleek leaders who swerve, compromise and equivocate for soft berths, fat sal

aries and slothful ease.

"The situation created as a result of this agitation," said a federal of

ficial, is one that deserves the consid

eration of all right thinking people.

white and black. It is an agitation which involves the I. W. W., Bolshe

vism and the worst features of other extreme radical movements. It appeals to the ignorant and seeks openly to create a feeling of resentment among certain negro elements that

may lead to results that all good citi

zens will deplore unless it is stopped.

That the movement is making head

way, there is no doubt. Reports from all parts of the country show this to

be the case.

200 MEN WANT TO RRING HOME GERMAN WIVES, SAYS KING (By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 30. Two hundred American soliders have filed requests to bring home German wives, representative King, Republican, Illinois, declared today, on his return from a six weeks' tour of European countries and the war zone. Included

in the party was representative Pur-

nell of Indiana.

with the Germans," said M. King,

lein is a common one."

ELLIOTT OPPOSES

WASHINGTON. July 30. Exporta

MANY DIPTHERIA

CASES IN CITY

An unusual number of cases of diptheria are prevalent in Richmond

nnd the surrounding country, says Dr,

J. H. Kinsey, city health officer. Be

tween 35 and forty cases have been reported, and cards warning persons

away from the house have been placed

for every case as fast as discovered.

No reason could be assigned by Dr.

Kinsey for the unusual prevalence of the disease, although he said that

Newcastle, Muncle, Anderson, West

Alexandria and other nearby towns

have also had many cases. Only one

death has resulted so far, that of

Elmer S. Hance.

Dr. Kinsey said that cards had been placed for every case so far as he knew of them, but that if any case was known which was not quarantined

he asked that persons call and tell

him of the case.

Aside from diptheria, the-disease situation in the city is unusually good, he

said.

Farm Boy Tells How Farm Boys May Be Kept on Farm

By P. G. HOLDEN.

OR years the government through

its various agencies has been trying to encourage boys to stay

on the farm. Much has been written on the subject, but nothing any bet

ter than the following furnslhed me

by Clyde Duncan, a farm boy of Lake Lake City, Ark., who writes:

"Parents should realize that their

boy is something more than a mere

machine ; that he is one of the great factors necessary to make farm worla

both pleasant and profitable. "A boy will take pride In growing plants and animals if he knows part of the proceeds from their sale will belong to him. But if he knows

A Boy Will Cheerfully Work Long Hours in the Hot Sun if He Knows a Part of the Farm Profits Will Be His. there is no money coming to him for his work he becomes dissatisfied and plans to go to town. "All promises should be kept. If the father gives the boy a pig to raise, the money for which the hog is sold should belong to the boy. The father should play fair as well as expecting his boy to be truthful. The father should encourage his son to attain higher things ; should help him in every way possible. The son should obey his parents. The whole family should work together, for cooperation means success; through co-operation we lessen the burdens of each other, the family ties become stronger and the father soon realizes that his son is a man in thought and deed." I would suggest the following ways in which the farmer may encourage his boy to remain on the farm : 1. Let him raise some live stock or have an acre of corn or some other crop. 2. Give him some of the returns from his labor. 3. Encourage him to higher things such as entering college. The money he derives from his live stock or crop can be used to pay his way. 4. Co-operate with him; let him know you are interested in his welfare. 5. Discourage any Idea he may have that he can do better in town. 6. Provide good books for him to read.

This picture, one of the most striking photos of the war, has just reached this country. It shows a Prussian and his woman companion who had lived for ten

years in a Champagne village as a Swiss peasant. Probably the man had fake naturalization papers. During the war they were caught telephoning information to the

Germans through a secret apparatus. Their information led to the death of forty French soldiers. The two confessed and were marched to a nearby wall and shot.
