"WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.™(United

products continued to climb during
the month of November, the depart-

call the attention of your honorable
body to the fact that there exists to-
day not only a depletion of good
order railroad equipment, and a
shortage of cars unprecedented in
American railroad history coupled
with a serious decline in railroad
earnings, but also a condition of
deferred equipment, which is llke-r
wise very serious in view of the
prevailing coal shortage and the in-
creasingly severe winter weather
which is descending upon us. I
charge that thit situation is the di-
rect result of those very faults
which the Interstate commerec act
has made a primary factor in the
determination of railroad rates, and
which the commission is authorized
to remedy."

Johnston leads up to his list of
other abuses by pointing out that a
contented personnol of wage-earn-
ers is the necessary basis of good
and economical service, shows that
tho wage cut was ordered by the
managers just whan wages bogan
to rise in other industries and de-
clares that thlB wage reduction
was tantamount to a lockout by the
managers. Turning then to the state

"Thirty years ago," she said,
"Annie Besant and Charles Brad-

pamphlet in England. They were
brought to trial on a charge of vio-

and were freed when the Judge held
that the law did not specifically

that 'obscenity* was dependent on
