RAILROADS AIDED INWARON TRUCKS i11. C. C. Approveés Free Pick- Up and Delivery Service by Carriers. BY the Assoclated Press. ‘The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion yesterday opened the way for closer competition between the rail- roads and motor truck transportation in the East with an order approving free pick-up and delivery service by the rail carriers. Proposed schedules for pick-up and delivery service filed by the leading Eastern rail carriers last April, and suspended by the commission pending an investigation of their lawfulness, generally become effective at once. A minimum charge of 45 cents a hun- dred is to be effective by December 21. Some tariffs are lower than this and the carriers asked for a 30-cent mini- mum. Service Operated Since 1933, Pick-up and delivery service has been operated at some of the chief terminals of the Pennsylvania, Erie, Grand Trunk, Boston & Maine, and Maine Central Railroads to a limited extent since 1933. The service, how- ever, was limited to 260 miles of line haul for freight carried for 30 cents per 100 pounds. A “plus charge” was added for pick-up and delivery service for line hauls ‘over 260 miles. The commission’s order yesterday elminates the “plus charge” and limits the free pick-up and delivery to less-than-carload freight carried for 45 cents per 100 pounds. The order also provides an allowance of 5 cents per 100 pounds for consignors and consignees who elect to make their own delivery to or from the rail terminals. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY.

MAN HIT BY TRAIN DIES IN ALEXANDRIA J. 0. Wingfield, 66, of Schuyler, Va., Was Struck in Front of Waiting Room. By 8 Staft Correspondent ot The Star, ALEXANDRIA, Va, October 31— J. O. Wingfield, 66, of Schuyler, Va., died early today at the Alexandria Hospital from injuries received yester- day when he was struck by a pas- senger train in front of the waiting room at Union Station here. Although he sustained fractures of both legs, one arm and internal in- juries when the train dragged him 41 feet, a weak heart was partly re- sponsible for his death, the hospital reported. ‘Wingfield apparently had started to cross the tracks from one side of the station to the other, had not noticed a small iron fence which separates the tracks and became confused when the train loomed in front of him, police said. He was struck by a through Richmond, Predericksburg & Potomac Railway train not scheduled to stop at Alexandria, An inquest will be held at police headquarters here at noon tomorrow. — Deaths Reported. 7 Webster 8 Columb iCkson Bibley Hospita Rudolph Plepenbring.

BURGESS The restless never are content ome adve 5 Unless on 507854 Mother Nature. ABOUT the time that Old Mr. Toad decided that he would retire for the Winter Bobby Coon, over in the Green Forest, who is also & sleeper during the coldest weather, was pre- paring for the Winter. He didnt think of it as preparing for the Win- ter, but that is what he was doing. He was putting on fat, which is Bobby’s way of making ready for the season when there is nothing for the Coons to eat. Bobby did little but eat and sleep these days. This was the season of the year when food was plentiful and Bobby Coon was mak- ing the miost of it. He preferred to sleep during the day. When night came Bobby was out and about. He likes a variety. he loved to go frogging. Frog always had one of his big goggly eyes cocked for the appearance of Bobby Coon. When the water was low, Bobby liked to go fishing, be- cause then it was easy to catch fish in the shallow pools, and Bobby likes fish as well as he likes Frogs. In the late Summer Bobby used to visit Farmer Brown’s cornfield every night. No one knows better than does Bobby Coon when corn is at its best for eating. This is when it is in the milk, and Bobby feasts on corn at that time. He gets in a lot of mis- chief. You see, he is like some people, not content with what he has, but tlery staifelil ¢ same way with Mrs. Coon. Sometimes they would go together, and some- times one would go one way and one another. It was a beautiful October night. Lovely Mistress Moon was smiling her brightest. On the Green Meadows and where there were no trees it was almost as light as by day. It was just the kind of a night that Raccoons love. Bobby and Mrs. Coon left their hollow tree together. Presently they separated. Mrs. Coon was going down to the laughing Brook to visit a favorite little pool, in the hope that she might find some fish there. Bobby had decided to go up to Farmer Brown's orchard. “Be careful,” warned Mrs. Coon, agg » B EER? g : g g rgi 3 ifieal 2 3 NEW TRADE GAINS Upswing to Continue Re- gardless of Election Re- sult, Report Says. BY the Associated Press. The American Federation of Labor predicts the present business upswing will continue through next Spring, regardless of the Presidential election result. In its monthly survey, however, the federation warned yesterday of “an eventual shortage of buying power.” It said workers were not getting their agreement, by tending to release in- ternational trade, “means more work for wage earners in all countries.” that business activity in September and October had continued at 15 per cent better than last year, the federation survey said it was still from 10 to 20 per cent below normal. “The important facts for workers, however,” it added, “are that (1) busi- ness recovery is continuing; (2) the upswing is so strong that it is ex- pected to carry forward throughout this Fall and next Spring, regardless of elections results; (3) business in general is becoming steadily more profitable.” Workers Share in Gains, Turning to the question of the | ‘workers’ share of recovery, the survey | said the average work week had been lengthened from 38 hours in 1935 to | 40 in 1936, while “workers’ average earnings per hour had risen only one- half cent. “Since the termination of N. R. A. there have been many wage cuts for unorganized workers, both in the last half of 1935 and in 1936, and although some firms have granted wage in- creases, the increases have been on the whole but slightly more than the cuts,” it added. “Meanwhile, cost of living has risen 2.3 per cent so that the worker has actually received less for his hour’s work in 1936 than he did in 1935. “In terms of what it will buy, of food, clothing, housing and other necessities, the worker’s wage in 1936 was less than 57 cents an hour, while he received 57.5 cents last year.” Says Labor Suffers. Workers as & whole also had suf- fered, the survey said, by the in- creased productivity of each worker due to technological improvements in industry. These improvements, the federation maintained, placed an added load on the worker without corresponding pay increases. Corporation profits, it said, “are now approaching pre-depression levels” and “instead of wage in- creases, industry has granted in- creases to stockholders.” Workers’ weekly income, the fecer- ation said, had increased from $21.35 to $22.53 this year. This increase, however, it added, was—like the hourly earnings—more than offset by increased cost of living. Marriage Licences. Charles 8_P. Smith. Lynchburg. 8.
