ganization of the management of rail-
roaas in England have met with t
strong opposition on the ground that i
the plan is impractical, according to
a report of the American Chamber of j
commerce received here today.
The government's plan, the report
said, cails for the amalgamation of all
lines into groups which would be
controlled by boards of management
consisting of shareholders, who
would be in the majority, adminis
trative officials and employes.
Rates would be fixed,, the report
stated, at levels high enough to yield
revenue equal to the combined net
pre-war. Incomes of the companies
absorbed in each group.
The railway board is said to be
opposed to the plan and, according to
the report, notified the government
that It would not assist In working
it out if it were put into effect.

MARION, O.. Aug. 3. Senator Hard
Ins conferred today with T. V. O'Con
nor of Buffalo, president of the Inter
national longshoreman's association,
on the labor situation. He was as
sured of the support of the labor
leader, who later gave out a state
ment. Senator Harding also conferred
with Senator Harry S. New of Indiana,
chairman of the republican speakers'
bureau, on the speaking campaign. To
what extent, if at all, the front porch
campaign plan will be deviated from
is understood to have been discussed.
Senator New asserted no one in
authority had said there would be no
deviation and proceeded to discuss
handicaps of a front porch campaign
now as compared with the Harrison
campaign in 18S8 and the McKinley
campaigns In 1896 and 1900.
Equipment Held Lacking.
Not only are railroad rates higher,
but it is impossible for the railroads
to furnish excursion equipment, he
Bald.
Mr. O'Connor in his statement said:
"I am for Senator Harding because
I believe a change of administration
necessary to restore confidence in
this country. I know Senator Hard
ing is a real man from whom labor
will always get a square deal.
"I have heard a good deal of various
leaders that are going to deliver the
labor vote, but I want to say nobody
will deliver it. Labor is going to
vote to suit itself. The democratic
party has lost Its claims for confi
dence of the country. We must re
store popular confidence in our gov
ernment to put an end to unrest. The
world is in a bad scrape, and -if the
United States does not keep its feet
on the ground, the world can t.
Entanglements Are Scored.
"I deal with all nationalities ex
cept Asiatics in our organization and
1 know that there is a desire to get
away from entanglements among
European nations. There's a. good
deal of apprehension among the men
lest conditions they observe in Europe
may reach here.
"it seems plain to Trie labor must
support the republican party. If the
democrats win, the government would
be turned over to the control of the
solid south and the machine-dominating
democratic states of the north.
"Ex-Senator Bailey is campaigning
for the nomination for governor in
Texas, with the open shop as his plat
form. I have never asked the abso
lute closed shop, but 1 certainly could
not assent to the view that the south
ern democracy takes of the problems
of labor."
Movies Catch Harding.
Senator Harding today threw aside
his coat, rolled up his sleeves and
"made up" the first page of his paper
while motion picture machines re
corded his actions.
All work at the newspaper plant
was suspended while the pictures
were being made and employes gath
ered about to see their boss working.
The senator kept up a rapid fire of
conversation with his foreman while
at work.
Between conferences. Senator Hard
ing completed his second front-porch
campaign speech which he will de
liver tomorrow afternoon.
Story of AVbtte Hevealed.
Harry M. Daugherty, Senator Hard
ing's pre-convention manager an,d
member of the campaign executive
committee, also called on the candi
date today and later issued a state
ment detailing what he said was the
"inside" story of G. H. White's elec
tion as democratic national chairman.
"Homer Cumminga was the candi
date of President Wilson for chair
man and Ed H. Moore was Governor
Cox's candidate," he said. "Mr. Moore
got mad because Governor Cox made
his pilgrimage to Washington, and
took himself out of it. Mr. Cummings
was too objectionable to the Tam
many crowd who had helped nom
inate Cox. So they compromised by
naming Mr. White.
"Governor Cox has already felt
compelled to administer a rebuke to
Chairman AVhite for talking about
ha issues."
Manufacturers and Jobbers Could
Absorb Rise, Declares Labor
Organization Economist.
WASHINGTON. Aug. S. Railroad
rate increases authorized by the in
terstate commerce commission "should
have no appreciable effect on prices
of the vast majority of things which
the ordinary consumer purchases,"
according to an analysis of the pos
sible effect of advanced rates made
public by W. J. Lauck. economist for
the railroad labor organizations.
He asserted that "there Would have
been no occasion for so large an ad
vance," if the roads had been better
managed, made free of "water" in
capitalization and were "not them
selves victims of profiteers to the
extent of $500,000,000 a year" in pur
chase of supplies and equipment.
"Still, there is no occasion for
alarm in the prospect of an addition
of a billion and a half dollars to the
annual transportation bill of the
country," the statement said, "pro
vided this item is not multiplied four
or five times before it is presented to
the people for payment.
"For Instance, by no possible com
putation can the Increased freight
rates be made to justify an Increase
of 1 cent a pound in the price of
mA( or 5 cents a pair in the price of
shoes, or 10 cents in the price of a
suit of clothes, or one-fourth of one
cent in the price of a loaf of bread.
Hence the public should be informed
and the forces of the government
should be on guard to see that no un
justifiable burden is imposed on the
people."
Coal. Mr. Lauck said, was one com
modity the price of which would be
"directly and appreciably increased."
to the consumer by the rate advance,
the amount being from 7a cents to
SI. 35 a ton.
Including all transportation costs
entering- into the wholesale meat
prices, he asserted the maximum ef
fect of the advance would be less than
a cent a pound.
On a suit of cloth.es made cn the
Atlantic coast and retailed on the
Pacific the increased freight would
amount to 9 cents, he said.
"The greatest industries of the coun
try could amply afford to deduct the
increased freight rate from the price
of their products, he added after pre
senting some statistics on profits of
producing companies.

NEWPORT. Or., Aug. (Special.)
At a joint meeting of the ports of
Newport and Toledo, held at Toledo
last night, it was decided to offer
about J125.000 worth of bonds, the
bids to be opened August 14. The
denomination, though not decided.
will probably be five-year bonds, car
rying 6 per cent interest.
The money obtained thereby would
be sufficient to pay half of the esti
mated amount of finishing- both jet
ties, the original estimate of $836,000
made before the war having: been in
creased to about $1,500,000.
The government has .accepted the
work done and agrees to take over
the remaining work and commence
operations as soon as the money is
rdeposited in bank, agreeing to re
fund any surplus, should there be
any.
W. C. Hawley, representative in
congress, who has been in Newport
inspecting harbor improvements and
the Yaquina Northern railroad of the
United States Spruce corporation, fa
vors the extension of train service
from Yaquina to Newport, which
would eliminate about an hour in
time, tiresome transfer to ferry boats
and cost the passengers less.
That he is much pleased with the
progress made in construction of the
south jetty of Yaquina bay was the
asertion of Mr. Hawley. He stated
that the 20-foot channel at low tide
would be 22 feet and at high water
there would be about 30 feet on the
bar.

Carnot champions the idea of 'im

those weaker mortals who, through
the war, have seen their hopes of
marrying: dashed to the ground.
Profeesor Carnot, who, judging by
the enormous correspondence he
receiving: daily, will soon have to
open up a matrimonial agency,
would go to America to find hus
bands for French women of mar
riageable age. He estimates there
are 2,000,000 more women in France
than men.
Letters he has received come both
from Americans and women in France,
in which the correspondents de

nations from monopolizing the world'

"During the war period it acquired
