And they are forcing large num bers of people In the south, the south east and in the west, who have been and are being taxed by the federal government to Improve the rivers and build the canal.* to pay the railroad bill for making the improved water ways worthless commercially. These startling facts have been re vealed in a survey conducted by the Intermediate Rate Association, repre senting every business and farm In terest of ten western mountain states, In a campaign for national legisla tion to wipe out railroad discrimina tion in freight rates throughout the entire west and In all parts of the southeast where the railroads are hghttng the boats. Congress has appropriated |1,200,- 000,000 for Improvement of rivers and harbors and for building of the canal, but there are hardly and boats operating upon tlje rivers of the south and the southeast—the Mississippi, 0.

Having secured what practically amounts to a monopoly of transpor tation throughout the south and southeast, railroads ate now trying to secure a monopoly of transporta tion continental freight traffic by at tempting to le'vy a similar tribute against Interior cities of the west so that they may make cut-throtl rates from Chicago and the east to Pacific coast cities—Los Angeles, San Fran- cisoc. Portland and Seattle—to drive the Panama canal out of business. The special cut-throat rates made by railroads to force the boats out of business are not given to Interloi cities and towns, the rate association survey shows. Instead, the railroad- make the rates to port cities so low that boats cannot meet them, and re coup their losses by charging high rates at the Intermediate points. Many, existing violations of the long and short haul law' by railroads' in the southeast, designed to keep the boats from the rlVers, are re vealed in an examination of records of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. A typical violation is shown In the rate scharged by the Illinois Cen tral on carload shipments of agricul tural implements from St. Louis. The Illinois Central today charges |12.80 per ton to haul a carload of agricul tural Implements 836 miles from St Louis to New Orleans, located on the seaboard, but charges $18 a ton to haul the same shipment the shorter distance of 642 miles over the same tracks to Alexandria, La. The farm er at Alexandria has to pay $3:20 more to get the Implements he needs out on his farm that the stevedore at New Orleans has to pay to stack them up on the docks and levees, despite the tact ..that he Is 193 miles nearer Bt.‘Louis. And the rallroade penalise the farmer so that they may keep the boats off the river the farm er has helped to Improve.' The United States Senate has pas.s- ed the Ooodlng Bill (Senate Bill 23- 27) to eliminate this unjust discrim ination which the railroads make in freight rates to meet water competi tion. It will become a law as soon as It Is passed by the- House of Rep resentatives when Congress' meets In December. addressing jJ, B. Wllltamaon, SujM^r- vlsor of Visual Education, Raleigh, I N. c. !

B. Williamson, Supervisor of Visual Education, at Raleigh. These films, which were produced by the Depart ment of the Interior, through the Bureau of Mines, la cooperation with the larger industrial concerns, lei! the story of the working.^ of the na tion's tremendous mineral industries In a much more vivid jgnd colorful manner than Is possible through the •nedlum of any printed page. An other series of fllm.s preache.s the lOctrine of “safety first,” by show- ng safe and unsafe methods In mln- .ng and metalhirgloal practice. Nearly a hundred educational films have been prepared in the past few years by the Bureau of Mines In co operation with Industrial concerns. The demand for these-films for show ing by educational institution, churches, civic bodies, and other or- I ganlzations has become so great that '.he orlgina Iplan of centralized dis- .rlbutlon from the Pittsburgh Ex periment Station of the Bureau of Mines has become inadequate. A :elected list of the best of these films !s now made available at distribut ing centers located in the different itates. These films relate to coal, petroleum, sulphur, iron, asbestos, line, marble, copper, natural gas, and other minerals. A series of films de picts most interestingly such Indus trial processes as the manufacture of oxygen, the making of flre-ciay''re- fractories, the manufacture of auto mobiles, the methods of compress ing air, the quarrying of limestone etc. Other films Illustrate danger ous and safe practices In mining, efficiency In the combustion of coal the utilization of water power, and the operation of a gasoline motor. ' More than one thousand reels of motion picture films, selected fot i.heir educational and entertaining 'Value, are now being circulated imong the school of Nertft^Oaroiiiia by the Supervisor of Visual Educa- ■Jon, In a recent six-month period 106,000 persons attended exhibition:, of these films, and indications arc hat even these figures will be doub led In the next six months.
