LISBON PARALYZED BY STRIKEING OF LONGSHOREMEN
(By The Associated Press)

Lisbon, Nov. 20 –
Traffic at this port has been almost aparlyzed by a strike of the longshoremen and stevedores and by workers on the state railways. Meantime the city has been given an evil appearance by a strike of the garbage wagon-drivers and street cleaners.
Several foreign vessels were compelled to leave the harbor without discharging their cargoes of provisions, greatly needed in this poorly rationed country, because of the harbor strike. Labor troubles spread also to the crews of merchant ships and some officers joined with the men in quitting work on board the steamers.
Pieces of machinery were removed from the boats used for transporting passengers and provisions across the Tagus river and the boilers of some of the smaller craft were filled with salt water so that when the government sent naval forces to operate them the boilers would not make steam.
As a result of the state railway strike Lisbon was threatened with a dearth of provisions. The streets were cluttered with ill-smelling dirt heaps and filth owing to the strike of the cleaners.
As usual when strikes occur here, reports were spread that they were due to a bolshevist plat emenating from Moscow. Officials of the government issued a note stating that they were informed of the details of a proposed general revolutionary strike but were prepared to take steps to suppress any disorders which might result.

NO FRIENDSHIP FOR GERMANY
(By The Associated Press)

London, Nov. 20 –
By reason of the tempest stirred up as the result of overtures by Oxford professors to German and Austrian educators to join then in burying the hatchet and return to previous amiable relations, the text of the appeal is attracting widespread interest.
The Times denounced the letter urging resumption of friendly relations between German, Austrian and British educators as “ill-advised and inopportune,” and called the Oxford men to account for failing to distinguish between animosities created in England by the sinking of hospital ships and bombing of open cities, on the one hand and the black passions of the wretches who perpetuated those crimes.”
The text of the Oxford letter follows: “To the Professors of the Arts and Sciences and to members of the Universities and learned societies in Germany and Austria:
“Since there will be many pf you who fully share our heartfelt sorrow and regret for the breach that the war has occasioned in our friendly intercourse, and since you cannot doubt the sincerity of the feeling which engendered and cherished that old friendliness you must, we believe, be sharing our hope for its speedy reestablishment.
“We therefore, the undersigned doctors, heads of houses, professors and other officers and teachers in the University of Oxford, now personally approach you with the desire to dispel the embitterment of the animosities that under the impulse of loyal patriotism may have passed between us.
In the field where our aims are one, our enthusiasms the same, our rivalry and ambition generous, we can surely look to be reconciled and the fellowship of learning offers a road which may – and if our spiritual ideals be alive must – lead to a wider sympathy and better understanding between our kindred nations.
“While politician dissensions are threatening to extinguish the honorable comity of the great European states, we pray that we may help to hasten that amiable reunion which civilization demands. Impetret ratio quod dies impetratura est.”
Fifty-seven signatures are appended to the letter, including those of W. G. S. Adams, professor of Political Theory and Institutions; Sir Hugh Allen, director of the the Royal College of Music; Rev. G. A. Cooke, Regius professor of Hebrew; Sir Arthur Evans, professor of Prehistoric Archaeology; Rev. A. C. Headlam, Rogius professor of Divinity; J. A. Smith, professor of Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy and many other well known college principals.

YOUNG PEOPLE

Every Sunday evening at 6:30 the Flake B. Y. P. U. meets on the third floor of the Baptist Temple. If you are a visitor on the city or a stranger of if you are not connected with any other union we would be glad to have you visit the B. Y. P. U.

Remember the time and place, 6:30 at the Temple.

FOR CHURCHMEN
It is certainly a great privilege to have Rev. Louis G. Wood as the preacher at the Church of the Holy Cross, this Sunday night at 7:30 p. m. Mr. Wood has the whole insight of the church and he goes throughout the church from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Recognizing the position now of Holy Cross Parish, we are given him for Sunday night, he being at Saint Luke’s Cathedral in the morning.
The Bishop and the Diocese and the Church-at-large having this confidence in this Parish here in Sanford, in giving us Father Wood when the largest cities are claiming him, it is for Sanford churchmen and friends, to a man, to show themselves.
It is not too much to say that there is no more thoroughly able and gifted preacher than Father Wood and those Sanford people who do not come to Sunday night service will be always losers.

Germany Refuses To Surrender Colonies
(By The Associated Press)

Geneva, Nov. 20 -
The German government no longer considers itself bound by the clause of the Versailles treaty by which Germany surrenders her colonies to the allies, according to an official note of protest which has been presented to the league of nations.
The note declares that the allies have not fulfilled their undertakings regarding the clause of the treaty concerning the allotment of the German colonies and mandates. It adds that having signed the pact of the league of nations, Germany understood she would be admitted to the league and consequently take part on the allotment of mandadates, but that now she no longer considers herself bound by that clause of the treaty.

-----
The mandates referred to in the German protest were provided for the article XXII of the covenant of the league of nations in the treaty of Versailles. It was stipulated there that colonies and territories severed from their former sovereignty by the war and inhabited by peoples of backward development should be placed under the tutelage of more advanced peoples under mandates from the league. Old colonial possessions come under that category, the list included the African states, such as German East African and the Kamerun and the several groups of islands in the Pacific.

$25,000 Recovered From the Chicken Coop

COUNCIL BLUFFs, Ia., Nov. 20 –
The finding of a fortune in a chicken coop and the arrest of two more suspected persons early yesterday brought the investigation of last Saturday’s Burlington Railway mail robbery, in which estimates of losses run as high as $3,500,000 to a point where postal officials said the case was virtually complete.
A count of the recovered money found the sack in the chicken house back of the T. A. Daly home here showed it to total $26,000 in ten dollar bills. Federal agents are now trying to locate $10,000 which Mrs. Daly has said was carried away from the Daly home by one of the robbers. According to statements made by officials who made the arrests, the loot not found in the chicken house was burned.
The men under arrest will be arraigned today before a United States commissioner. Two of the men, T. A. Daly and H. A. Reed, are white and the others are negroes. Reed’s confession led to recovery of part of the loot.
The total amount of money recovered was not announced by officials this morning. Ten persons in all are under arrest.

30,000,000 CHINESE ARE FACING FAMINE
(By The Associated Press)

PEKING, Nov. 20 – Cholera is adding to the general distress in the famine-stricken district where from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 people are facing death by starvation.
The Associated Press correspondent, who recently traveled through the heart of the territory most seriously denuded of food, found conditions even more desperate than had been indicated by information previously received here.
In the town of Hwai-an where there were 100 families, 30 persons had died of cholera and similar reports are common from various other districts.
The picture presented to the eye of the correspondent was a dismal one; the soil barren as in mid-winter, prices soaring, migration of those having more money or enterprise, the people living on a diet of weeds, chaff, thistles and leaves; children, especially little girls, offered for sale at the average price of the small Chinese mule; cholera from underfeeding, suicides of individuals in extreme despair, old women and children gleaning patches of weeds, men with no work to do and clusters of refugees living in the shelter of temples in market towns.
Information obtained by the correspondent indicated that the present suffering is only a forecast of that to come in the course of eight or 10 weeks when the real crisis will arrive. Conditions in the belt he traversed in a journey by cart between two railway lines near Techow are believed to be typical of those generally existing throughout large areas in the provinces of Chihli, Shantung, Honan, and Shanai. He found indescribable misery and stoical facing of starvation by millions of people who already had disposed of everything salable and saw in the future nothing but death.
When the frost will have killed the unconsumed leaves and weeds there will be literally nothing to eat for at least half the population. One out of 10 has already migrated without money and without destination. In the worst spots half of the people are already subsisting on the proceeds of the sale of furniture and clothing, which means that those temporarily escaping starvation will ultimately die from the cold and exposure.
In the town of Chi Chow, which is typical, the magistrate informed the correspondent that out of every three families two are quite sure to stave before the end of the year, barring effective relief from outside. There are 390,000 people in the administrative district in question.
In Ning Ching two bankers who were engaged in raising relief funding said that the crop had been an absolute failure following two or three previous and serious shortages. Of 10,000 families, they estimated that eight out of ten were practically without means. One of the informants said that he was the owner of the largest pawnshop on the vicinity.
“There are constant streams of farmers coming with clothing, furniture, implements, anything upsets which to realize a few coppers. They are selling their children where possible, or leaving them where there is hope that they may be fed,” he said.
Chaff and the residue from cotton seed after the oil has been extracted have become valuable beyond the reach of the average person, who exists on a watery concoction chiefly of leaves and weeds, with perhaps a few kernels of grain, and a sort of cake, if he is affluent enough, made of cotton seed waste.

ENGLAND “ELBOW TO ELBOW” WITH FRANCE
(By The Associated Press)

PARIS, Nov. 20 –
Premier Lloyd George in an interview today with the correspondent of the Petit Parisien, declared the differences between Great Britain and France do not amount to a quarrel and the views held did not prejudice the alliance created during the world war. Regarding the proposed preparations he declared that England would stand “elbow to elbow” with France, but he insisted that the amount Germany is called upon to pay should be fixed.

IMPROVEMENT IN RAILS USED BY RAILROAD
(By The Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Nov. 19 –
A great improvement in rails now in use in the United States is reported by the American Railway Engineering Association. Some years ago the number of rails that failed to give normal service or broke under moving train became alarmingly-large, the worst condition being reached about 1905. This led to investigation by the American Railway Association and later by the railway engineering association.
“A drop in the rail failures from almost 400 per 100 track miles for five years’ service in 1908 rails to 70 in the 1914 rails is a decrease of over 80 per cent,“ writes M. H. Wickhorst, engineer of tests of the engineering association’s rail committee in his report just issued here. “We may well feel elated over this good performance and congratulate the mills and railroads that brought about the result.
“A close study of the detail reports indicates that a further decrease of over eighty per cent of the failures of the 1914 rails is possible.”

DECLARE ALL WAR DEBTS CANCELLED
(By The Associated Press)

LISBON, Nov. 20 –
Mello Barretto, Portuguese minister of Foreign Affairs, has returned from London bringing assurances from the British government that the Portuguese republic can count on the good will of Great Britain. He said that Premier Lloyd George informed him that he had insisted at the Spa conference in July that full justice should be done to Portugal.
A Lisbon newspaper man who interviewed the foreign minister asked him whether it was true that America was disposed to annul the war of England had contracted with them, one condition that England in turn, charge off the debts due her from small actions and contracted in the war. The minister declined to discuss that subject pointing out that he had nothing to do with financial affairs.

WHAT THE PRESS AND PUBLIC THINK OF MELVILLE’S COMEDIANS AND PLAYS.
The World-Tents Theatre new play, “The Broken Tents,” is cleverly throughout skillfully constructed and feliciously fine performance. One of the real events of the holiday season.

The American – “We sat beneath the spell of a four act play, “The Broken Hearts” that enclosed comedy, drama, humor, brilliancy and charm. It is an undeniable success and if you miss it you will be sorry.

New York World – “Although “The Broken Hearts” is the most pleasing play of the season – the audience was enthusiastic.

Evening World – The play, “The Broken Hearts,” makes a strong human appeal.

Tampa Times – by the Dean of American critics – Mr. Melville is to be sincerely congratulated upon a notable successful effort to redeem the promise made at the opening of the handsome tent theatre that it should be the home of comedy, a genuine American comedy, dealing freshly, humorously, satirically and pathetically with conditions of contemporaneously interest, and furnishing food for reflection, as well as amusement.

The Tribune – “We do not think we would be likely to overestimate the proper state of the “Broken Hearts.” One of the truly noteworthy comedies by American authors.”

Evening Mall – “A fine and purposeful, study of current domestic problems as the theatre is likely to house this winter, and as well written and well acted a play as Broadway is likely to see. Its performance last night had a truly electrifying effect.”

The Times – “The Broken Hearts” is clever, adroit and interesting – blessed by an exceptional spirit and intelligent performance.

(By “JONESEY,” O. B. Secretary Kiwanis Club of Tampa – Too bad all “show folks” are not like Bert Melville and his popular company, who at present are playing to capacity business here; they deserve it. They are presenting clean up-to-date plays, interpreted between the acts with Variety Vaudeville that will please the most fastidious.

The vaudeville specialties are always good – in fact, the people of this section have a week of rare entertainment in store for those who attend the performance of the Melville Comedians, all next week, in the big waterproof tent on Commercial street, at the “13” Club Park, next to the Court House. This show is for the white people exclusively and the best of order will be maintained.

LO THE POOR FARMER
My yard is full of cotton
And my crib is full of corn
I’m a ramblin’ wreak of poverty;
My face is all forlorn.

My porch is full of peanuts,
There’s ‘taters in the bank,
My fields are full pf cattle,
And the food stands rich and rank.

My hogs are fat and plenty,
The cane waits in the mill,
I’ll make syrup for my family,
And plenty more to sell.

I’ve hay out in the open,
For I do not have the space
To store all the provisions
That I’ve made on this old place.

I’ve cotton seed aplenty
To fertilize next year;
I’ve mules and plows and wagons,
And clothes enough to wear.

I’ve got tires on old John Henry,
Tho’ the price of gas is high
But it’s wonderful the sight of gas
A cord of wood will buy.

And chickens, eggs and butter,
Sweet potatoes, lard and meat;
My old smokehouse is groaning,
And my garden can’t be beat.

But still I worry and complain,
Until I’m out of breath,
And if folks didn’t know me,
They’d swear I’d starve to death.

I’m a ramblin’ wreak of poverty,
My face is all forlorn;
I’m the most unlucky heathen
That ever has been born.

SIX KINDS OF SAFETY

Have you every paused to consider the safety of the bank where you deposit your money?
The first consideration is the capital, which should be ample to meet the requirements of the community the bank is to serve.
The next question to consider is the officers in charge. They should be men of experience, high character and successful. Without man of ability no institution can succeed.
Then there is the question of confidence. The public should have confidence in the officers and in the bank.
These three principles determine the success of a bank.
We adopted these principles in the outset of our career and we expect to live up to this high standard and increase our usefulness to the community as the years go by.
We offer you:

1st: Large capital and working reserve
2nd: Trained men in charge – men of several years experience.
3rd: The confidence of the public, which is proven by the daily addition to our line of depositors.
4th: Protection by two examinations each year by the state banking department. Two audits each year by an independent recognized public audit company and two sworn statements submitted to the state comptroller by the cashier, giving the bank’s condition in detail. All of which insures regular, systematic and thorough operation of the bank.
5th: The advice of a competent board of directors, who meet who meet with the officers regularly each month and advise them as to the operation of the bank.
6th: Insurance of all deposits every day of the year, this is a protection not commonly found in banks and is an absolute protection for your funds, in addition to all the other usual safeguards.
These are reasons why you should do business with us, and we believe that no bank can offer better inducements.

PEOPLES BANK OF SANFORD. We want your business.

CONFESSIONS OF A BAND LEADER
And now for the confession of a band leader – and the reason that a circus band is different from any other.
Did you ever notice that? Did you ever notice how you can tell a circus band from any other collection of musical instruments the minute you hear it? And yet, most probably, you’ve never known the reason. Therefore, allow to be introduced one Prof. John Phillips, director of the combined bands of the Sparks Circus, which is to exhibit in Sanford on Tuesday, Nov. 23rd. Also allow to be introduced Prof. Phillip’s explanation of “Why a circus band is different.”
“The whole thing lies in one instrument,” Prof. Phillips said the other day. That one instrument is the slide trombone. Without the slide trombone the circus band would not exist. It carries the whole weight of the band and its sliding notes and quick changes are what gives the music of a circus band its originality. Just listen closely to the bands of the circus when we come to Sanford and you’ll find that we have more slide trombones than three or four bands usually have. But we don’t call them slide trombones. They are “slip horns.”
And so it is that soon there will be the blaring music of the slip horns, for the circus is not far away and they will be played not only in the parade but in the performances themselves which take place 2 and 8 p.m.

MELVILLE’S COMEDIANS HERE MONDAY
The following from the Tampa Times of recent date, will be of interest to the amusement lovers of this city, since Melville’s Comedians will start an engagement in their canvas theatre here Monday night:
“Tampa theatre-goers who missed that famous drama of the northwest, “The Call of the Wild,” by Melville Comedians at the big tent, can draw consolation only from one old adage ‘Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise,” while the hundreds of enthusiastic attendants are conscious that they witnessed one of the best staged, best acted, best plotted dramas that has been staged in Tampa in several years.
“The second week of the indefinite stay of this popular company in Tampa surely must be one of their feature weeks, for the program for the last half. ‘The Millionaire’s Son’ and the ‘Shop Girl’ are proving equally popular with the big crowds that visit this show every night.
“For the first half of next week “The Church and People,” will hold the boards. This play was leased from the author, together with special scenery designed and painted under the personal direction of the author, and everything has been done that could give promise of making its run in Tampa one of the most successful.
“For the last half of the fourth week “The Brat’ is under contemplation, but it has not yet been determined definitely. Other celebrated and special royalty plays scheduled for an early appearance are ‘Ismael,’ ‘With The Law’ and many others ones that are well known to the successful professional stage.
“One of the unusual contributory sources to the success of the Melville Comedians is the exceptional electrical effects, which include more than five hundred electric lamps and color combinations, which are capable of turning the ordinary light of night into the glow of the full moon rays.
“The tent is new and rain proof and comfortably heated throughout and every seat is within easy hearing of the stage and occupies a full view of the entire stage.
“The Melville Comedians are exceptional entertainers and the cordial welcome extended makes each and every attendant determined to return.” – Tampa Times.

The hunting days are here.
--
And there is nothing better than the Florida woods and fields streams.
--
And the visitors from other states who are here recognize that the fact and once they camp in Florida they want to come every season.
--
There is also plenty of game in the woods and plenty of fish in the streams but they should be better protected out of season for even fish and game are finally exhausted.

Sanford never looked prettier than at present with all the vivid coloring of the many flowers and the yards all filled with trees and plants and shrubs.

--
When all the new building that is contemplated in Sanford next year is started this city will look like a real city. And every citizen should stand back of his city and help it to move. That old grouchy feeling that disapproves of all new movements and wants to knock instead of to boost should be thrown off forever and let us all get together with the idea that every building means so much for the town and regardless of who is doing the building he deserves our assistance in a moral way. It is the cooperative spirit of “all together” that makes cities and even hot air is better than cold water.

If a minister with a wife and five children to support can get only $93 a month for his ministry, should he stick to the pulpit or look for another job? That question was presented to the judge of an Ohio court in a divorce proceeding, in which extreme cruelty in failing to provide was charged by the wife. The court granted the decree, holding that an able bodied man who accepted a salary of that amount was guilty of cruelty to his family. The decision was probably justified by the special facts of the case, but how about the principle involved? What shall be done with the college professor who earns less than the hod carrier? Shall the newspaper man separated from his family because he can not earn as much as the bricklayer gets? How shall we dispose of the army of school teachers who draw less pay than common laborers? The question will require more than one judicial decision before it is finally settled. – Lakeland Telegram.

ANOTHER SUNDAY

Sunday – a day of rest. Do you make it such, or are you devising ways and means of swelling your profits during the week?
Sunday is a day of rest, for one reason, because the human mind require a certain amount of relaxation, without which it becomes weakened, and confused and fails to function properly and to advantage. It was so intended by the creator?
And where do you find that rest? Where do you obtain that spirit of repose which stimulates and rejuvenates that entire human fabric?
There are many ways and places, but one is more beneficial than all others combined. That is your weekly visit to the church on Sunday morning, or evening, or both. Even if you hear not one word the minister says, the simple knowledge that you are in the sanctuary of the Lord casts a feeling of calmness, solemnity and repose over you which is good for the mind, the body and the soul.

A PUMPKIN with a LANTERN

The Columbia Enquirer-sun quotes from a Northern paper comments on the recrudescence of the Ku Klux Klan and says:
“it is to be regretted, of course, that such movements and organizations occasionally bob up to give the South a little more unfavorable publicity, and call forth ill-considered criticism of this section as a whole; which is all the more reason why the Enquirer-Sun, for one, takes this occasion to explode the idea that this particular “Klan” is in any way representative of Southern sentiment, or that it has any mission whatsoever to perform; other than to furnish, perhaps, a new order for “jiners” and a new job for “organizers.” In short, our 1920 “Ku Klux Klan” is merely a sort of Hallowe’en affair – a pumpkin with a lantern in it. As its chief “wizards” and “potentates” and such like, insist on explaining – obviously out of respect for law and public sentiment – for they know full well that the South will not tolerate any organization that attempts to set aside or override the law of the land, for they know full well that in these times and in this age the South no more that the North, will tolerate any organization that essays to set aside or over-ride the law of the land.”
Undoubtedly reports of the Ku Klux Klan added to Harding’s majority, but he would have been overwhelming elected without its help. It is probable that it caused the election of a few Republican senators and representatives who would otherwise have been defeated but that only gave the Republicans such an overwhelming majority in congress that they will be more apt to make fools of themselves and give the democrats a chance to defeat them two years hence.
It is also true that it revived the race issue which had been settled satisfactorily to the whole people of the south and made not improbable the passage of a force bill by the next congress which will be overwhelmingly Republican. It created a prejudice of the North against the South which will retard the development of the Southern states. It also fanned the embers of antagonism between whites and blacks to the detriment of both races. It is a pity that men who do conspicuous things do not use their heads before doing them.
We refer to the Ku Klux Klan as it appeared in the North. The statement of the leader of it that it stood for law and order, that it was as the Enquirer-Sun so aptly put it, merely “a pumpkin with a lantern in it,” shows that it was merely foolishness borrowing the wrong name. For the old Ku Klux Klan was not foolishness. It was terribly in earnest and was deadly in its operations. It killed for the salvation of the South and it saved the South in that way when there was no other way to do it. When it had accomplished its purposes it disbanded in a day on the order of its chief officer. No army that ever fought was more thoroughly disciplined.
It fought against law and order for the upbuilding of a better order. It went through violence to peace and it did what it did only because there was no other way by which the purposes could be accomplished.
But it caused a great deal of disorder while it lasted by furnishing an object of suspicion. If smith hated Jones badly enough to assassinate him he assassinated him and put up signs turning suspicion on the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan was not responsible for half the violence that was attributed to it. It was not criminal but it tempted to crime by furnishing an object of suspicion.
Now the white people of the South are in charge of their state governments and have in their hands all the machinery of the law. This should make them use it with justice, for the famed chivalry of the South is a myth if it uses its power to oppress the weak. – Times-Union.

That the work of the Rotary club, the Motor club, the Real Estate Board and the West Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce may be for the co-ordinated, H. E.

JOHNNY J. JONES HAS INTERESTING BUSINESS CAREER

Johnny J. Jones is the man who is responsible for the new side shows at the Southeastern fair. His show is known as the Johnny J. Jones’ Exposition, and it is one of the best groups of fair side shows in the country. Like a great many circus men, his life history is very interesting just as his position as a manager is interesting. Since his name has become well known all over the world it might be best to give a little of his personal history.
He was a miner’s by in Pennsylvania, but digging dark diamonds was not to his liking; it kept him too far removed from the people, and he loved to be where people gathered, where the crowds were enjoying themselves.
He became a newsboy. And here we have Johnny J. Jones who was a newsboy, in which position it was undoubtedly first discovered that he had lots of brains, and now he is the sole proprietor of a great aggregation of the out-door amusements, an enterprise employing hundreds of persons, requiring 43 private cars to transport, a combination which represents the acme of perfection in amusement organizations.
It is no longer a show. It is an exposition and a very big business proposition. Besides the 43 special cars of the Johnny J. Jones exposition, he has about 85 wagons, all designed and manufactured by himself. He has some thirty or forty feature attractions, eight riding devices, and the completest equipment for the rapid erection and transportation of his exposition in the world. He only goes to the biggest fairs both in the United States and Canada, and has the very highest standing in the business world among the exhibition directors with whom he has long done business.
“I attribute my success,” said Mr. Jones, “to two factors. My shows are absolutely clean. No one need fear to go into any one of them. The people know that and they come again and again to see them. Then I believe in the most systematic organization, I run this business like a bank. My accounting system is as perfect as experts can make it. In behind, our staff is forever working, keeping accounts in shape, and checking everything up. Everything works like machinery.” – Atlanta Journal

NEW YORK STATE HAS SCRAP ON HAND
ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 20 –

The supreme court of the United States ultimately will be called upon to decide the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission over Interstate passenger and baggage rates, it was announced today at the office of Attorney-General Newton. The order of the commission yesterday that the railroads operating in the New York establish intrastate passenger and baggage rates to conform to the interstate schedules by increasing the passenger rates from three to 3.6 cents a mile, will not end the fight of the state authorities for a restoration of the two cents a mile rate between Albany and Buffalo, the attorney-general said.
“This is a sweeping and entirely new decision,” said Attorney-General Newton, regarding the commission’s order. “Heretofore, the states alone have exercised the power to fix local rates. During the war congress fixed all rates, but under the Esch-Cummins bill the old state rates were restored.
“The appellate division of the supreme court at Albany decided last week that the old two-cent fare on the mainline from Albany to Buffalo was restored Sept. 1, when the Federal wartime control was terminated. The railroad appealed to the court of appeals where the question will be argued next Monday.
“The state will immediately appeal to the United States supreme court for a reversal of the order of the I. C. C. and probably the judgement of the court of appeals will be taken to the United States supreme court by the railroad or the state, whatever the result.”
