Tariff Legislation. Special Dispatch to The Star. OTTAWA, Ont., September 3.—The Sheffleld, England, steel delegates now in Washington will be in Ottawa September 8 to discuss with govern- ment officlals Canadian tariff con- ditions in connection with the impor- tation of high-speed tool steels. As ntimated in The Washingtan Star, surprise continues in Canada “at their visiting Washington on such a sur- prising mission as, attempting to get IWashington senators to change the (Fordney) tariff bill now before Congress so as to be more in the interest of Sheffield workingmen.” 1t is pointed out on this side of the line that the Washington legis- lators are naturally more anxious in rotecting Pittsburgh than Sheffield, England. “The delegation is likely to get for its efforts little but added knowledge of United States congressional ideas,” remarks the Montreal Gazette, which comments on -the unusualness of the plea that the British steel magnates - are putting up at Washington, adding “the plea is an unusal one to be made by peopie of one country to the legis- lative authority of another.” PHILIP OBENAEUR DIES.

PUBLIC PAYS LESS FOR RAIL SERVICE Transfer From Gov;rnment to Private Control Brings Noticeable Change. In spite of higher rallway rates, both passenger and freight, the peo- ple of the United States pald almost was opened in the Dublin Mansion House last “Ragi destined yesterday to become the officlal mascot for the police pressroom, is lost. With a brilllant future before him, he struggled loose from the leash on which he was secured to a locker, ‘and deserted. At the request of police scribes J. J. McGann, local newspaperman, yesterday went to the dog pound and selected a mascot. Although the original order was for a bull terrier, Mr. McGann brought back a stunted black and white cani $21,000,000 less for raflroad trans- portation in the first six months of 1921, under private operation, than they did in the first six months of 1919, upder government control, ac- cording#to an editorial in the current number of the Railway Age. The editorial continues: Various Causes. “This was due partly to the fact that a smaller amount of railroad ser- vice was rendered, but mainly to other causes. The first half of 1919, like the first half of 1921, was a period of business depression. The amount of freight service rendered .was 7% per cent less than in_the correspond- ing part of 1919, and the amount of passenger service rendered almost 15 per cent less. Byt in spite of the smaller traffic handle¥ the total earn- ings of the railways in ithe first six months of 1921 were al:{n $320,000.- = 000 more than in the first six months of 1919. How, then, it mhy be asked, can it be that the public paid less for its railroad service than in the first six months of 19192 “The explanation is very simple. In 1919, under government control, the public paid in taxes for part of the transportation service it received be- cause the railways were under gov- ernment control and incurred a large deficit. In the first half of 1921 the public paid for its transportation en- tirely in freight and passenger rates because the railways were under pri- vate operation. H “The total earnings of the railways | in the first six months of 1919 from | their rates wére $2,356,685,390, but the ! government in these six months, ac- | cording to the estimate of Director General Hines, incurred a deficit of | $269,101,654, which made the total amount paid by the public in both rates and taxes $2,652,786,984. The various governments, especially the state governments, got back from this amount in taxes paid to them by the railroads $91,663,514. This made the net cost to the public of the railroad service rendered to it $2,561,123,470. Heavy Losses. “In the first six months of 1921 the total earnings of the railways were $2,676,497,252. The amount of taxes paid by the railways to the national and state governments was $136,120,- 810. Deducting this from the earn- ings makes the total net cost to the! public of the railroad service it re- ceived $2,540,376,442, or $20,747,028 less than the net cost in the first six months of 1919. “The saving made to the public in the total amount paid by it for rail- way transportation was made at the expense of very heavy losses to the owners of the railways. The net oper- ating income actually earned by the railways in the, first six months of 1921 was less than $142,000,000. Thig was about one-third of the net re- turn they received in the first half of 1919 under government control, when their net return was guaranteed. It was about $95,000,000 less than the mere interest on their bonds, since six months'’ interest on their bonds is about $237,000,000. “The necessity of paying a given amount of taxes imposes as much of a: burden on business as the necessity of paying a given amount of rates. The present cost of railroad transporta- tion undoubtedly is todShigh, but it is the railway owners rather than the pablic who have suffered most from it thus far this year, since, while the public actually has paid less for rail- road service than it did‘in 1919 under government control, the owners of the railways have received many millions of dollars less of met return. —_— 1 GREEKS KEEP UP ADVANCE: Drive Turks From Fortified Pm-l tions Near Sakaria River.

PHILADELPHIA, September 3. —An old peasant woman was made _the richest woman in her village by a letter from the war risk in- surance bureau of the American government. The incident is told by a member of the Friends re- lief mi: n in Poland who writes: “We were just driving into the town of Hrubleszow into the war- ravaged district of Poland when a peasant woman. clad in rags, and barefooted, came up to the wagon and presented a letter which she could not read. It proved to be from the war risk insurance bureau in Washington, stating that her son had died in the American army and that his insurance would come to her for twenty years, at the rate of $25 a month. Already there was $300 waiting for her, which would be sent shortly, by check. , “The woman's face was shad- owed as she heard of her son’s VISCOUNT ASTOR’S TRUST FUND FOR SONS REVEALED Bank Which Hds Charge of Money Involved Asks Interpretation of Terms by Court.
