The Trinity is still rising in its mid-
dle portions, but has not changed ma-
terially in its lower. Trinidad reported
33.9 feet rising on Friday, and it now
seems probable that the stage at Long
Lake will be about 42.0 feet instead of
40.0 as originally estimated. There will
be no important changes in the Brazos
or Colorado in the next 36 to 48 hours.

Tampico, Jan. 22.—More oil was ship-
ped out of the Mexican oil fields dur-
ing December than in any other month
in the history of the country. A total
of 17,608,703 barrels of petroleum and
its products were exported during this

vember of 1,475,308 barrels.
Next Wednesday will be a big night
for the GalVeston lodge No. 126, Benev-
olent and Protective Order of Elks. It

a large number of. persons who are not
as yet Elks, but who hope to be at the
conclusion of the evening’s activities.
Something like sixty men are to be
initiated into the Elks lodge and in
celebration of the event there will be a
big parade Wednesday- night at 7
o’clock in which members of the order
and the candidates will officiate. The
parade will move through the business
section of the city, starting from the
Elk’s hall and disbanding there for the
initiation ceremonies.
A dance will be given next Friday
night for Elks and their ladies at . the
Elks home.

New York Cotton.
By Associated Press.
New York, Jan. 22.—There were fur-
ther reactions in the cotton market at
the opening today with March selling
off to 14.00 and May to 14.60; or about
2 to 22 points net lower on the general
list. There was continued local, Liver-
pool and Southern selling encouraged
by less favorable reports from the
stock markets and the failure of for-
eign trade advices to show any im-
provement. Apprehensions that the re-
action in raw material miht check
the demand for goods in the domestia
markets were also a factor, but there
was a good deal of covering at the de-
cline and the ■ market , showed slight
rallies toward the end of the first
hour.
Sterling declined in the late dealings;
sixty day bills 3.17%; commercial sixty
day bills on banks 3.71%; commercial
sixty day bills $3.71%; demand 3.76%;
cables 3.77.
March liquidation, continued later
with an unsettling effect on the gen-
eral list. Early buyers for a week-end
rally liquidated and stop orders were
uncovered on the break which car-
ried March off to 14.25 and May to 14.42
while January broke to 15.93 on a few
sales in the late trading. Closing prices
were a few points up from the lowest
on covering but showed net declines of
25 to 48 points.

Weekly Grain Review.
Chicago, Jan. 22.—Severe declines in
the wheat market this week have been
accompanied by much talk of exporters
trying to resell and about untoward
business conditions in Europe. Com-
pared with a week ago, wheat this
morning was down 12 %c to 15 %c a
bushel, corn lower 6%c to 6%c, oats off
4c to 4%c and provisions 15c to 80c.
Bears obtained control of the wheat
market chiefly after gossip became cur-
rent that Italy had cancelled some of
her contracts for wheat bought in the
United States.
Notwithstanding assertions that the
amounts were small, belief spread that
European reselling might be a big fac-
tor if Argentine began to ship freely.
Big receipts of corn exercised a bear-
ish influence on the corn market and
upon oats as well. Both cereals touched
the lowest price level since 1916.
Provisions weakened in line with
grain and hogs.

1615 Bill Is introduced in Legist
Packers of Fish Appear Before House
Committee.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 22.—Herbert Hoov-
er’s war time advice to the people to
eat fish with the resultant efforts of
packers to supply the demand, has
glutted the markets, representatives
of the industry told the house ways and
means committee today in urging a
higher tariff.
Although there were several import-
ers before the committee seeking free
entry for some kinds of fish, operat-
ors of fishing plants were in the ma-
jority. They asked practically a res-
toration of the import duties carried
by the Payne-Aldrich law as a meas-
ure of alleviation.
When Mr. Hoover urged a policy
which Representative Oldfield,* Demo-
crat of Arkansas described "as Friday
three days a week” there was little
production of fish in Europe the wit-
ness said, but with a gradual revival
rof the industry there shipments to this
country have been heavy.

- The senate today passed the Emory
bill prohibiting the raising of rates
by utility corporations through the
filing of bonds pending final hearing of
petitions for increases.
A bill was introduced in the senate
representatives of the brotherhoods
) are trying to get the board to continue
’ the national agreements. The Railway
• Age says:
> “E. T. Whiter, chairman of the com-
• mittee of managers representing the
railways, is cramming the record of
I proceedings with cases of employes
. who, under the agreements, have got
, large amounts of money for which they
never did any work, or have got sev-
eral times as much money as was jus-
; tified by the work they did. The fact
that leaders of the labor brotherhoods
are, seeking to have perpetuated these
1 robber agreements and the many mil-
1 lions of ‘honest graft’ extorted under
them should be sufficient indication to
i the public of the sincerity and public
spirit which caused the labor leaders
to open the hearings with wholesale
charges of waste and speculation
against the managements of the rail-
ways.”
A very large number of examples
showing how the national agreement
result in employes being paid for many
hours of work that they have not done
have been presented to the railroad
labor board. The Railway Age cites* a j
large number of these examples strip-
ped of the technical verbiage in which
they have had to be presented to the
board. It shows that merely one out
of the 182 rules in the shop crafts
agreement is costing the railways at
the rate of $14,50.0,000 a year. It says:
COSTS GO UP.
"The shop crafts agreement provides
that when employes' are required to
check in and out on their own time
they will be paid for one hour extra
at the close of each week, no matter
how few hours they may have worked
during the week. This rule id the first
six months of 192,0 cost the railways
$6,445,658, and at the higher rates of
pay now in effect is costing at the
rate, of $14,500,000 a year.
“Among other examples of the results
these extraordinary rules produce are
the- following:
“The Pere Marquette Railway was
compelled to pay $9,364 in back pay to
four employes because their titles un-
der the agreements were changed by a
decision of the director general. A car
repairer on the Virginian Railway was
paid $1,000 for work he never did. He
was laid off with other employes be-
caues there was no work for him to do.
When he became entitled under his
‘seniority rights’ to be re-employed, the
road refused to take him back, because
his eyesight was defective. The road
was compelled to pay him from the
time his ‘seniority rights’ would have
entitled him to re-employment, because
he had not been told his eyesight was
bad when it laid him off!
“A train on the El Paso and South-
western was delayed one hour and thir-
ty minutes and an employe was paid
five hours’ time for making repairs to
a window which took thirty minutes,
when a foreman who was available
could have done the work without de-
laying the train.
ANOTHER CASE.
"A machinest on the Santa Fe for 77
days, performed the duties of a night
roundhouse foreman while the foreman
wa's sick. The foreman’s pay for this
time would have been $665, but . the
machinist, for substituting for him, re-
reived $921.
“Four car men on the same road were
sent out on the line to do a piece of
work that took four hours and 33 min-
utes. The company was compelled to
pay these men for 112 hours’ work.
"Five machinists on the Norfolk and
Western were sent to an outlying point
where they actually worked eight hours
per day for three days. Each of them
had to be paid straight time for the 24
hours they did work, and time and a
half for 72 hours they didn’t work.
“Examples of this kind have been
cited almost without number. The pub-
lic naturally will ask how such rules
governing working conditions and
wages could ever have been put into
effect, and how they can possibly be de-
fended. It makes no difference how the
rules came into existence or what tech-
nical defense of them may be made.
They resulted under government con-
trol in many millions of dollars being
given to the employees for work that
never was done. They are having the,
same effect under private operation,’
and will continue to have until they
are set aside. The public has been and
is paying the bill. The farmer who
works ten, twelve or sixteen hours a
day is paying it. ; Men who do eight
hours’ work for eight hours’ wages and
ten hours’ work for ten hours’ wages
in other industries are paying it. What-
ever technical defense may be offered,
there cannot be, in the court of reason
or fairness, any valid defense made for
agreements which result in railway em-
ployes getting many millions of dollars
a year for work they do not do from
people who get paid only for the work
that they do.
“It may be said that outrageous pay-
ments for work not done, such as those
cited, might be eliminated by revising
the national agreements and rules. But
one of the many reasons why the na-
tional agreements produce such out-
rageous and indefensible results is that
they apply throughout the country, re-
gardless of differences, in ideal condi-
tions on the various railways. A rule
which is fair on a railway in New Eng-
land, for example, may be wholly un-
fair, and produce outrageous results, on
a railway in . Arizona, where the local
conditions are wholly different.”

New York, Jan. 22.-—Constant fight-
ing between the French forces of. oc-
cupation and Turkish nationalists has
transformed the Cilicia district of Asia
Minor into an area of ruin and deso-
lation resembling the devastated sec-
tions of Northern France, declares Miss
Elizabeth Webb, an American mission-
ary and worker for the Near,East re-
lief.
In a letter to the relief organization,
Miss Webb tells of a trip from Adana,
recently delievered from a siege of
fourteen weeks, to the town of Peurt
Yol, about 50 miles distant on the Med-
diterranean Sea. The trip was made on
a French armored train.
“The Adana station itself was sug-
gestive of the general situation with
its barricades of sand bags,” she wrote.
“As we moved down the track we saw
bent seel rails lying by the side of
the new ones that had just been laid.
Bridges that we passed over were
newly repaired and village stations
along the route were demolished. The
ruins were surrounded b'y barbed wire
entanglements and broken telegraph
poles, festooned with tangled wire, wit-
ness to the events of the past few
months. No human beings were, in
sight, but the barbed wire entangle-
ments were hung with tin cans, which,
in the weeks of fighting that preceded
my visit, had been put up by the de-
fenders to prevent surprise attack, for
one touch on the wire would set the
whole ro wof cans jingling.
“In the four hours between Adana
and Toprak Kale we saw only one hu-
man being outside the vicinity of these
two places. This one exception was a
Turk riding a forlorn looking horse,
With a white rag hanging from a pole
stuck upright in his pack saddle. There
were scores of threshing floors where
the cut wheat had been allowed to rot
in the sun and rain.
“The difficulties in Deurt Yol and
Euzerli have greatly increased by the
addition of about 3,000 Armenian
refugees to the population. Most of the
refugees abandoned rich crops and
houses that had been newly repaired
with aid from the Near East relief.
We1 found them in a pitiful condition.
Houses of two and three rooms were
sheltering four or five families.
“All empty houses, porches, store-
houses and every inch of available
space was filled with them. Some were
sleeping on the bare ground with no
covering.
“To meet the need in these two
places, the Near East relief has sent
400 sacks of flour, 3,400 yards of cloth,
flour, mats, quinine and 1,7® blank-
ets.

The senator’s statement was in re-
ply to an argument by Senator King,
Democrat, of Utah, opposing trade with
Russia and it precipitated a general
1 1 bate on bolshevism and commun-
ism.
While we deport Martens, the trade
representative .of Russia,” Senator
France said, ‘.‘the British agents confer
with Russian emissaries and have trace
contracts already prepared for their
signautres.”
He asserted that “bolshevism and
communism do not exist in Russia,”
adding that, they had given way to
the “more sound theories of govern-
, ment.” Referring to what he said
“was the necessity of developing
friendly relations with Russia,” the
’Maryland senator declared that "the
time will come when the United States
and Japan will be at war.”
He added that the way to meet this
. danger was to create, better relations
with Russia and remove- the obstruc-
tions this government was placing in
the way of trade with that country.
Senator France, charged that “seri-
ous crimes had been committed!’ by
government agents in handling depor-
tation cases and said he believed At-
torney General Palmer was “most re-
sponsible” for the “crimes.”
