a clearing of the railroad situation
generally came here Saturday from
several quarters.
A group of prominent railroad ex­
ecutives conferred with President
Harding and Senator Cummins, re­
publican, Iowa, chairman of the senate
interstate commerce committee, and
discussed steps toward freight rate
reductions preliminary to the execu­
tives’ meeting in Chicago October 14.
Rate reductions also was the prin­
cipal topic of the programme at a
meeting Saturday night of democratic
and republican senators comprising
the unofficial agricultural "bloc." Sen­
ators attending the meeting said there
was a wide and vigorous demand for
rate ruts us Imperative to agricultural
interests.
Senator Cummins, after his confer­
ence with the railway executives, said
he believed they would adopt at their
Chicago meeting his suggestions for
an immediate reduction of freight
rates. No definite assurances to this
effect were given him at the confer­
ence, he explained, but he expressed
the opinion that the reductions would
be made by the carriers voluntarily.
The carriers then. Senator Cummins
said, would ask the railroad labor
board to reduce wages or appeal to
congress for legislation to meet the
situation caused by the voluntary rate
reductions.
The railway executives In the con­
ference Included T. Dewitt Cuyler, rep­
resenting a railway securities holders’
organization; Samuel Rea. president
of the Pennsylvania system; President
Smith of the New York Central;
President Holden of the Burlington
system, and Julius Kruttschnitt, chair­

ENERALLY speaking "between”
must be employed when refer­
ence Is made to two subjects,
“ among" when there is reference to
more than two. Thus, “ The money
was divided between the two men,”
buD “ The money was distribute^
among the four.” However. It Is cor­
rect sometimes to use "between" even
in reference to many objects; when
the relation expressed exists between
ofie of the objects nnd its neighbor.
Thus, “There are eighty trees in my
orchard, and there Is a space of ten
feet between then*,” meaning that the
space lies between one tree and the
next one. In this case it would not
be correct to use “ among."
“ Between" should never be used In
referring to a single object, as In the
following Incorrect phrase from Dick­

ber of objects that are governed by
