D.State GEORGIA RAILROADS ASK RATE INCREASE OF FIFTEEN PER CENT File Petition With Railroad Commission Calling for Such Minimum Advance in Intra state Freight Charges The railroads of Georgia have filed with the state railroad commission a petition in which they ask that body to allow them to put into effect on July 1 a flat increase of 15 per cent in all Geor gia intrastate freight rates, the only ex ceptions being in certain rates where they ask for an increase of more than 15 per cent. The railroad commission has set the petition for a hearing on July 17. and will hear the arguments of the railroads in support of the petition and the argu ments of shippers in opposition to the petition. The railroads base this extraordinary request for an increase in freight rates on what they claim to be the extraordi nary necessities of an emergency. They “represent that by reason of large increases in the wages of em ployes. and in the prices of fuel and other materials and supplies, coupled with which is the prospect of further In creases, an emergency has been crated which requires that they be promptly af forded. by advance in their freight transportation charges, an Increase of earnings which will serye to offset in whole or in part these extraordinary ad ditions to their operating expenses and furnish some protection to their ef ficiency and credit.” CONCERTED MOVEMENT. As is well known, the railroads of the whole United States are now before the interstate commerce commission In Washington with a petition for a flat in crease of 15 per cent in all interstate freight rates, based on the same general grounds set up in their Georgia petition with regard to intrastate rates in this state. Also, the railroads generally have gone before the various state commis sions, or will go at an early date, with petitions asking for a flat increase of 15 per cent in all rates. In other words, the railroads through out the country are now engaged in a concerted movement to increase all freight rates 15 per cent, both on inter state traffic and intrastate traffic, and in all cases their justification for this ex traordinary demand is the claim that the war has created an emergency in their financial affairs. Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has shown in the senate, in his discussions of a resolution introduced by him in that body which would require the inter state commerce commission to give full and free hearings to all shippers before acting on the interstate petition, that if the railroads were granted a 15 per cent flat increase in all interstate freight rates, their revenues would be Increased in the stupendous sum of nearly $500,- 000,000 a year. Should the railroads succeed in their attempt to secure an increase of 15 per cent in interstate rates, and on top of this an increase of 15 per cent in intra state rates, their grand total of increas ed revenue would run in the neighbor hood of $1,000,000,000 a year, according to some Atlanta shippers who have in vestigated the subject. SHIPPERS DENY EMERGENCY. In opposing the petition of the rail : roads of Georgia for a flat increase of 115 per cent in Georgia intrastate freight rates, the shippers will deny, that an i emergency exists in the financial affairs of the railroads operating in this state, any more than the emergency growing out of the high cost of living which every concern and every individual must now contend with. They will contend that even if an emergency did exist, of the extraordi nary nature claimed by the railroads, it should be met by the railroads with the very large surplus earnings which they have been allowed to accumulate. They will show that the rate-making agencies of the government, both state and federal, allow the railroads to charge such rates as will insure them not only a fair return upon investments, but also, and in addition thereto, a sur plus to provide for emergencies. With regard to this surplus, the ship ' pers will show that the railroads oper ating in Georgia now have on hand the largest surplus in their history, by rea son of the extraordinarily large profits arising from the traffic of 1916, which was admittedly the most prosperous year on record for all railroads, and | especially for the railroads of the south ern district. The shippers will show that the total operating income of the Southern rail way for 1916 (the term “operating in come'/ means net income after deducting operating expenses and taxes), was! $-1,004,005, which was an increase of ■ $7,604,950. or 56 per cent, over 1915, and! an increase of $4,893,047, or 28 per cent, iover 1914. L. & N.'S BIG EARNINGS. The shippers will show that the total operating income of the Louisville and Nashville railroad for 1916 was $18,265,- I 906. which was approximately 50 per cent greater than the operating incoihe of that road for 1914, and approximately 80 per cent greater than its operating Incom* for 1915. • The shippers will show that the op (j erating income of the Atlantic Coast | Line railroad for 1916 was greater than any other previous year, being approxi mately 35 per cent greater than the op erating income for 1915. Moreover, the shippers will show that the surplus of the Southern railroad rose to $28,248,595 in 1916, which was an increase of more than 300 per cent I since 1909. and an increase of more than 50 per cent since 1915. They will show that the surplus laid I aside by the Louisville and Nashville railroad in 1916 was $9,633,849, which was an amount, according to the ship pers, “enormously in excess of any pre vious year, being more than double that reported for 1909, and about six times! .as great as the surplus laid aside in i 1914.** They will show' that the surplus of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad “in creased from $11,249,326 in 1909 to $33,- 533,626 In 1916, and that the profit and loss surplus of this road has grown so enormously in recent years that it is now three times what it was in 1909.” The shippers will show that the ex traordinary prosperity enjoyed by the above mentioned lines of railroads op erating in Georgia is typical of the fin ancial condition of all railroads in this state. They will produce figures taken from the reports of the railroads to the interstate commerce commission, show ing that the railroads of Georgia, w’hich now ask the Georgia commission for a flat increase of 15 per cent in freight nates, are now enjoying the greatest prosperity in their history. Moreover, they will show by figures for the first five months of 1917, as compared with figures for the first five months of 1916, that the unprece dented earnings of the railroads in IHE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1917. DRY FRUITS WHEN CANS ARE HIGH, IS UNCLE SAM’S ADVICE Specialists 'Show Just How Prudent Women Can Help Conserve Food Supply by Simple Means WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21.—Dry vegetables and fruits for winter use if tin cans and glass jars for canning are scarce or expensive. This is the advice of U. S. depart ment of agriculture specialists who have studied possibilities of conserving food to meet war needs in spite of any difficulties in obtaining canning con tainers. Drying was a well-recognized, suc cessful way of preserving certain foods before canning came into general use, the epecialists point out, and modern methods make it still more practicale, either in the home or by community groups. Three satisfactory methods of dry ing have been found by department specialists. These are sun drying, dry ing by artificial heat, and drying with air blasts, as before an electric fan. Trays for drying by any one of these methods, as well as tray frames for use over stoves or before fans, can be made at home. Home-made trays may be of side and end boards three-fourths of an inch thick and two inches wide; bottom boards of lathing spaced one-fourth of an inch. If desired, one-fourth-inch galvanized w’ire mesh may be tacked to side and end boards to form tray bot toms. Frames for use • with artificial heat should be of noninflammable ma terial as far as possible. In drying before a fan the number of trays placed one above the other will depend, to a large extent, upon the diameter of the fan. In sun drying, trays as described may be used or the products to be dried may be spread on sheets of paper or muslin held in place by weights. Vegetables and fruits will dry better if cut into slices one-eighth to one fourth inch thick. If thicker, they may not dry thoroughly. While drying, pro ducts should be turned or stirred from time to time. Dried products should be packed tem porarily for three or four days, poured each day from one box to another for thorough mixing, and so the whold mass will have uniform moisture. If during this "conditioning’’ any pieces are found too moist, they should be dried fur ther. When In condition, the products may be packed permanently in tight paper bags, insect-proof paper boxes or car tons. glass or tin containers. Seventeenth Private Who Killed His Wife Sent to County Jail Private Joseph A. Kirk, of the Seven teenth w’ho shot and killed his wife several weeks ago and then shot himself In the arm, was Saturday trans ferred from the hospital at Fort Mc- Pherson to the Fulton coiTnty tower. It is understood that the military authorities will not have anything to do with the case, but will let the civil authorities handle it entirely. It is ex pected that the grand jury will take it up next week. The county police have advanced the theory that Kirk shot himself in the arm after he killed his wife, but Kirk says the whole affair was an accident, and that he killed his wife and also shot himself accidentally. 2 Killed, Others Hurt, When Train Hits Jitney BIRMINGHAM. Ala., .lune 23.—Two people were killed, one fatally injured, two seriously hurt, and one slightly in jured when a Birmingham Southern railway passenger train struck a ‘’jit ney” bus operating between Ensley and Mulga, on the Mulga crossing, about fifteen miles south of here, early to day. John Maxey, white, and a negro wom an were killed. Three other white per sons. two men and a boy, were hurt, and another woman was fatally injured. 1916 have not fallen off in 1917, but are continuing on an even greater scale. The shippers will show that the net revenues of the railroads of the south ern district for, the first four months of 1916 were $-12,104.•>.’>.*. while the net revenues of the same roads for the first four months of 1917 were $46,- 381.472, or an increase-of approximately 10 per cent above the most proseperous year in railroad history. From these figures, which are typi cal of the general exhibits to be filed by the shippers, they will contend that they are justified in asserting that no emergency exists in the financial af fairs of the railroads in this state, and that even if an emergency did exist, they are amply able to cope with an emergency by using the surplus whicl> they have been allowed to accumulate for that purpose. GA. RATES ALREADY HIGH. But these figures bearing on the financial condition of the railroads of Georgia will be only a part of the show ing made by the shippers in opposition to the 15 per cent "emergency" peti tion. The shippers will show that Georgia Intrastate freight rates already are 26 per cent higher, for distances rang ing from 5 to 75 miles, than the average rates for the same distances in Vir ginia. North Carolina and South Caroli na. They will show that Georgia rates already are 4 2.5 per cent higher, for dis tances ranging from 80 to 130 miles, than the average rates in those three states. They will show that Georgia rates already are 53.5 per cent higher, for dis tances ranging from 140 to 350 miles, than the average rates in those three states. On top of this, they will point out that the railroads were already before the commission, before filing their 15 per cent “emergency” petition, with a petition tiled in the spring of 1916, ask ing for a general revision of Georgia intrastate rates which would amount to an increase of approximately 22 per cent. They will point out that the rail road commission has heard the evi dence of the railroads and the shippers bearing upon the 1916 petition, and that the lawyers for both sides are now pre paring their final arguments to be sub mitted early in August. They will point out that the rail roads of Georgia, already charging high er rates than they are allowed to charge in Virginia North Carolina and South Carolina, and already before the com mission with a petition for revision amounting to an Increase of 22 per cent, cannot wait for that petition to be act ed upon before they come with a spe cial "emergency” petition asking for a flat increase of 15 per cent. RED CROSS MR FUND NOW TOTALS SIIMIIR Collections Today and Monday Expected to Add $20,- 000,000 to Relief Work WASHINGTON, June 24.—Twenty million dollars must be collected Sun day and Monday by the Red Cross volunteer campaigners in American cities and towns to make the week’s canvass for a $100,000,000 fund an en tire success. Despite the spectacular spurts of a number of cities, total new pledges reported to national headquar ters today were only $3,000,000. making the aggregate for six days about SBO,- 000.000. Campaign managers directed local workers to make strenuous efforts in the next two days to ferret out individuals or corporations who have not contrib uted and to impress on them the tre mendous importance in America’s war scheme, of the success of the Red Cross fund. The need of every humanity dollar that can be collected was emphasized today by Lord Northcliffe, British war commissioner now in the United States in a letter to Henry B. F. MacFarland, chairman of the District of Columbia Red Cross finance committee. “In wishing success and prosperity to your efforts,” wrote Lord Northcliffe, “1 would, as an experienced Red Cross worker, urge cau.tion and conservation of effort. You will need every cent you can collect and every pair of human hands you can employ. The war, in my personal opinion, gathered by much ex perience at the front, is but beginning.” Word reached here last night that com mittees in a number of cities will re fuse ta quit work Monday night when the campaign formally closes. This pro longation of the canvass will be sought in two classes of communities —those like Cleveland, on fire with enthusiasm and piling up oversubscriptions, and those where* for various local reasons the campaign did not start until late this week. Atlanta, suffering from the recent disastrous fire, is one of the cities in the latter class. Cleveland, which promises to be the star of the week’s performance, by noon today made its total $4,182,000 and passed Chicago, whose report at that hour was $4,100,000. New York City’s total was known to be approaching $35,- 000,000. New York managers sent word they would not report until the books were closed Monday,. “But when we do re port it will be an oversubscription,” they said. Baltimore, where almost nothing had been sbuscribed, was stirred to pledge its entire allotment of $1,000,000 at a conference today of business men, called by Edward N. Hurley, of Chicago, for mer chairman of the federal trade com mission, and H. J. Hill, assistant mana ger of the campaign. Among the other big totals recorded at headquarters tonight were: Cincin nati. $1,100,000; Detroit, $2,161,000; Buf falo, $1,735,000; Pittsburg. $2,596,000; Boston. $2,038,000; St. Louis, $1,465,000; Philadelphia, $1,232,000. Ohio still led the states (except for New York) with $7,092,000. Next was Pennsylvania with $1,615,000. Illinois came third with $4,119,000. Other large state totals were: New York (outside New York City), $3,591,000; Massachu setts, $3,259,000; Michigan* $2,617,000; Missouri; $2,200,000; New Jersey, sl,- 990,000; California, $1,687,000; Connecti cut, $1,619,000, and Minnesota, $1,239,- 000. In percentage of their apportionments actually raised, Delaware headed the list with 320 per cent. Utah was sec ond with 135; Ohio third with 118, and Michigan fourth “with 104. Sunday is Red Cross day in thou sands of Sunday schools and churches. Campaign directors expect the harvest from rural districts where intensive so* licitation has not been done this week, to be large in church reports. ’ln a statement last night on the desig nation of Monday as “Pershing day,” Secretary Baker said: "It is eminently fitting that the final day of the Red Cross week —a week de voted to collecting $100,000,000 for the purpose ’of humanity—should be called •Pershing day.’ I am sure that the leader, first to carry the banner of our citizen soldiers to the western front, will appreciate the honor, and that his name, on the other hand, will act as an inspiration which will urge patriotic Americans to more than complete the sum required by the Red Cross before the close of Pershing day.” The Red Cross has no regulations forV bidding nuns or members of sisterhood from wearing the garb of their orders while serving as Red Crores nurses. Eliot Wadsworth, acting chairman of the American Red Cross. Saturday made this explanation in response to a num ber of inquiries.

HALE LABORATORY, 11A Walker St., New Y«k GENERAL UPHEAVAL IN MANAGEMENT OF WAR BEGINNING Co-ordination the Watchword, Speed the Rule and Efficien cy the Object—Wilson to “Big Four" Board WASHINGTON, June 23.—A general upheaval in the war government at Washington is taking place. Co-ordina tion nas become the watchword, speed the rule and efficiency the object. The pres.uent has decided upon a “big four war board.” This will act in an advisory capacity to his cabinet and be tn charge oi the tremendous detail com ing unuer the heads of railroad and in dustrial work, mobilization and dissem ination of raw materials, distribution of finished products and general purchas ing. It will supplant the present ad visory commission of the council. This big change is only the beginning of a general movement all along the line to co-ordinate the war work. The present commission has done much in making this possible by compiling masses of data bearing on all phases of war preparation. Scores of commit tees probably will be eliminated as the first step of the “war board.” An outline of this board's work, given today by a member of President Wil son's cabinet, indicates an intention to revolutionize the government during the period of the war. The "war board’’ will have as one of its functions, it is declared, the determination of a basis of cost of all materials for every one in the country—soldier, sailor and civil ian alike. This naturally led to the be lief tonight that laws permitting the government to commandeer coal, oil, steel and other necessaries will be asked of congress. The informant on these spectacular government changes defended them as follows: "Concentrating these powers is abso lutely essential. There was no more autocratic government in the world than the United States government in 1864, yet there was no more efficient or demo cratic government.” Secretary Danils declared publicly to day that "it is a question of a very short time before the government t will be forc ed to commandeer the oil and coal sup ply of the country.’” The farther the government goes Into the war the more and more evident it be comes that powers are. to be vastly ex tended to centralized agents. Fear of this trend in events is al ready manifest in congress. Prominent senators today, seeing "the writing on the wall” began to cry “panic.” One western statesman, a man of un usually progressive and broad views, de clared that business would absolutely collapse unless something is done to check the reports of possible govern ment seizure of big business plants In the nation. But the government plans to use all other efforts before resorting to requi- What Do You Know About Your Blood Supply? Your ignorance may startle you.

No official announcement has been made, and official confirmation is being withheld, but it has been stated, and generally is accepted here as true, that the federal government itself will do the selecting, probably in Washington, so there will be no opportunity for local favoritism, political or otherwise. As the regulations stand now, every registered man bears a number. The numbers will be forwarded to Washing ton and the drawing will be entirely by number. The identity of the number ed men will be entirely unknown to those in charge of the machinery and can be established only by comparing a number with a printed list in the man’s home district. As the numbers are drawn, they will be telegraphed to the home districts, where the registered men will learn if they have been drawn. Then the question of exemption will come up and this will go before the local boards. If a man is exempted, the man bearing the number which was drawn next in order will take his place, and so on.
