FAULT LIES WITH LINES Countrl tor Atlantic , Commercial Bodies Says That If Income Is Insufficient lie tier Manage ment Shoo Id Be Had. WASHINGTON. Jan. I Higher stand ras of etneiency. not Increased freight charges, ars the paramount naeda today of American railroads. This proposition Is the essence of the brief filed today with lbs Interstate Commerce Commission by Louis Brandeis. of Boston, counsel for tit traffla commission of commercial or ganizations of the Atlantic seaboard In t.-ie lnTeatUratloa of ths Commission In ths proposed adranea In freight rates In the official classlacatlon territory that part of ths country east of the Mississippi and cortn of the Ohio and Potomae rlrers. Railroad managers. Mr. Brandeis con tends. In an effort to meet exlstln needs should not look without, but within. Bottrr Manafrmrnt Needed. If their net income is Insufficient' he says, "the proper remedy Is not higher rates resulting In higher costs and les sened business, but eclenuno manage ment resulting in lower costs. In higher wases and Increased business. "If their credit Is Impaired, the proper remedy la not to apply the delusive stim ulant of higher rates but to strengthen their organisations by Introducing ad vanced methods and eliminating ques tionable practices. Thus they will main' tain credit by deserving It. The nmpoeed advances by the lines In official classlacatlon territory would af fect only the class. The total freight tonnage of the lines for the calendar year 1 was exasi.TX. Less than S per cent of this moved under class rates, yet of the freight revenue of these railways for 1 nearly 3 per cent (tlud.in.S3) was derived from class rates. Many Articles Affected. These rates govern In the shipment of ever articles of commerce. Including most of the net-esalUes of Ufa and ar ticle of competitive commerce. The pro posed Increases vary from per cent to B per cent averaging aprroziraately 14 Kr cent. Mr. Brandeis Indicates that be consid ers the great question involved In the investmtlon to be the statement of Pres ident lllard. of the Baltimore Ohio, that "the tendency of rates will be to continue upward" that Is. that there will be a nroarresMlve Increase In rates. The law places the burden of proof of the reasonableness of the proposed ao- vsnces upon the railroads. Mr. Brandeis maintains that the roads "have railed ut terly to sustain their burden of proof save failed so completely that the appU ration of the railroads for approval of (he new tariff should be denied. Shippers Held Slighted. In response to ths contention that the proposed increases in ciaas rates an reasonable. Mr. Brandeis- brief was an Increase In any class rate properly ran d niaa wuhwbi k 1 " s -" pers an opportunity to be heard, and that the pending Increases were fixed without affording the shippers such an opportunity. Am . n .. -tim-nt, fhmt the rail roads need additional revenues on ac rount of required Increases m wages. Mr. Brandeis submits uiree propositions: First Pome railroads, at least, do not need additional income. " tn anm m vailrnarfe. an tf Istlng need of additional Incomes Is due to causes other than wage Increases or acts of Congress. Third Kvery railroad which l prop erty nnaenaaea luu nnnirvu caw lueri any existing needs without rate In creases, by the addition of scientific management. In support of these propositions, facts end figures from official reports of the reuroetts memseives are cuea Dy sir. Brandeis. . Koads ThemselTes lo Blame. The contention of the railroads that greater Income Is Imperative In order to secure new capital for extensions and improvements Is met by the asser tion that "If the credit of the Ameri can railroads Is In any respect Im paired, the impairment la either due to unwarrantable attacks by the railroads and their associates or to their Indi vidual mismanagement, and that It Is not the result of any unnecessary In crease In operating expenses or of Got. ernment re emulations. " As another reason for the Impairment of the credit' of railroads If such Im pairment exists It Is pointed oat that the car repair graft of the Illinois Cen tral, the embesslement of the treasury of the Big Four, the graft on the Ienn- ytvanla and Baltimore Ohio, the Chicago A Alton scandal. Including the great Insurance scandals, "necessarily shake confidence, particularly as the controlling financial powers are largely the same In the railroads and Insurance companies.' The general distrust of railroad In vestments, he says, will be found caused not by the Increased burdens of wage advances, or by Oovernment regulation, but In a distrust of the pur poses and judgment of "lose who con. trol the management of the great rail road pro pert l-a.

PARKER MAKES ESTIMATES Many Properties Idle for Six Months Daring Suspension, but Work ers Went to Other Mines and Swelled Total Business. WASHINGTON. Jan. !. The produc tion of coal In the United States In 110 was between 475,000.000 and 486, 000.000 short tons, a considerable In crease over the output of 459.01S.704 short tons In 190 and near the previ ous record of 480,363,024 tons, produced In 1907. This estimate was made by Edward XV. Parker from reports received oy the United States Geological Survey from coal mine operators and others familiar with the Industry. The most ImDOrtant factor lnflu encins; the coal mining industry In 110." says Mr. Parker, "was the pro longed strike In Illinois ana ins ooum ir states. This strike or sus- nenalon. which started on April I. pend log an adjustment of the wage scale, waa not settled, until September 16, and after that, much time was lost In putting the mines Into condition for operation, so mat me periou m iiuv ness wss fully six monms. "The aettlement was a practical sur render to the demands of miners, with an Increase of 6.55 per cent in wages. "A similar Increase was granted in other states, either before the strike or during the suspension or subsequent to It. During the idleness, many of the miners who were on strike tn Illinois. obtained employment In ths mines of competitive states, and helped to in crease ths output there, which offset the shortage In the states affected. "No tablea of Increases In produc tion were made tn the western coun ties of Kentucky. In Western Pennsyl vania and In Ohio. West Virginia. Ala bama. Colorado. New Mexico and Mon tana. "The states whose production wss re duced by the strike were Illinois. Kan sas. Missouri and Oklahoma, it was asserted by the miners that on June 1, 910, 70.000 miners were laie in Illinois nri IS. 000 In ths Southwest, that is. Kansas. Missouri. Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. "Other mines also were operated dur ing the strike, so that from 25 to 10 per cent of ths normal output of Illi nois was being produced at ths time the strike ended, and this continuous production was a potent factor In bringing the operators to terms with the miners. "Of the total production In ItlO. the anthracite miners of Pennsylvania con tributed nearly 81.000.000 short tons, and ths bituminous mines between 390, 00,000 and 400.000.000 tons."

Morris and McAdam had been friends In Sumas. Friday, according to Mc- Adam's story. Morris sent word to Mc Adam to lose no time in coming to Ever ett, as be had arranged to run a foot race with a man named Johnson, who he knew would be an easy mark for him. This arrangement- coming from a friend, looked good to McAdam, who came here with $700 to wager on the proposed trial of speed. The principals, said McAdam. Journeyed to the fair grounds, where Morris and Johnson stripped to their running togs. Morris looked every Inch a sprinter. Well, the race was run. and, of course. the right man, the man McAdam backed. failed to cross the tape a winner.

Bonilla's Weil-Armed Force to Move on Honduras. GOVERNMENT WILL FIGHT Loyalty of Troops Is in Doubt, How ever, and Soldiers May Turn In surgentsCruiser Tacoma to Protect Americans. PUERTO CORTEZ, Honduras. Dec 28, via New Orleans, Jan 2. The long expected revolt of the adherents or Manuel Bonllla against the Davlla government in Honduras has broken out and a decisive battle is expectea In the vicinity of this city in the next few days. Re-entering the country over which he formerly ruled and from which he was practically banished after being deposed three years ago. Manuel Bonllla today proclaimed himself "Constitutional Pres ident of the Republic of Honduras." The correspondent of the Associated Press is Informed that the revolution ary gunboat Hornet was sighted by land and sea. Accurate Information says there are somewhere In the neighborhood of 200 Bonllla soldiers, well armed, on the Montague bar in the disputed territory between Honduras and Guatemala. Further south, along the Guatemalan border. It is reported that the revom tionlsts. 500 strong and including many Americans, armed with modern ririea and two field pieces and a plentiful supply of ammunition, are preparing for a march through Santa Barbara to Tegucigalpa, the capital. Another body of revolutionists is re ported near Las Quebragas. where an engagement is said to have taken place yesterday. These soldiers, it is be lieved here are to be used in the at tack upon Puerto Cortes. In a two days' march a Juncture could be ef fected near here with the Bonllla troops at Montague bar. From all indications, the government intends to make a strong fight here, but there Is grave doubt as to the loyalty of the troops. It is believed that the mere presence here of Manuel Bonilla or General Lee Christmas will result in a general "turnover" ard cause an alliance of the government troops with the revolutionists. Captain Davis, of the United States cruiser Tacoma. which lies far out of the harbor, has said that immediately upon the outbreak of hostilities, he will land a sufficient number of- blue Jackets to protect the lives of Americans.
