Among fo finn M9Lan nhl "The first is that the Cost Oflli-e Department weighs the mails, and readjusts the pay of the railroads, only once In four years. This compels the railroads to carry the increase in tho mail tonnage during the Intervening years without pay manifestly an injustice In the case of a rapidly growing business. One consequence has been that last year tho railroads carried fully half the parcel post for nothing. "A second point Is this: In addition to carrying the mails, the railroads are required to operate many traveling post offices for sorting and distributing the mails while in transit. Hut the 1'ost Office Department pays for such post offices only where they occupy whole cars, and pays nothing In the many cases In which it merely requires the use of post office apartments In combination cars, although such apartments differ from the full railway post office cars only in size.

More than 4,200 apartments of this character have been fitted up, and are maintained for the exclusive use of the Post Office Department. Failure to pay for thorn has been an especial hardship to the smaller roads on which the Department does not find it necessary to utilize whole cars. "One last point: In thousands of Instances (though not In all) tho Post Office Department requires the railroads to carry the mails back and forth between railroad stations and post offices, but pays them nothing for this extra service beyond the rales covering the rail transportation. The railroads have no choice but to perform this additional service gratis, or to carry the malls at all. "Now for the remedies the railroads ask: They do not ssk tn have fci mails weighed daily, or to have each shipment weighed ami paid for separately, as is done in the case of private shippers.

They merely ask to have the malls weighed, and tho pay of the railroads adjusted, at least once a year, Instead of once In four years. They also ask that apartment pott office cars bo paid for, at reasonable rates, according to size. Lastly, they ask that the Post Office Department cease to require of them free messenger service between stations and post officas, and either relieve them of this service or pay fairly for It. These are the reforms the railroads ask of Congress. They gladly lay these reforms before the public, confident that they will appeal to tbe common sense and, fairness of American voters."

R. P. Schwerin On the Seamen's Bill The American plowmen are Interested in sea commerce. It Is expensive and likewise humiliating to have to salute a foreign flag every time a farmer wants to ship a bushel of wheat, a bale of cotton or a pound of farm products across the ocean. The American farmer is entitled to the protection of his flag in sending his product across the sea, and Congress should give such encouragement to shipping interests as is necessary to meet foreign competition in ocean commerce.

A recent bill known as the Seamau's Bill became a law under the President's signature and Mr. R. P. Schwerin, vice president of the Pacific Mall Steamship Company, when asked to define this law and outline its effect upon American steamship lines, said in part: each Sunday in the Feature Section of Tbe St. Louis Kepubllc.

"The oversea trade of the world is competitive, therefore the original cost of tbe ship and the operation ot the ship have to be reckoned with In the keen competition of these rival nations with one another.

The Oriental sailor Is obedient and competent and Is the cheapest, sailor in the world. It ia therefore manifestly clear that If this law applied to all nationalities In tbe transpacific traffic, all would be on tho. samn economic basis, but it works a single hardship to all the ships of the world, except the Japanese and American ships, and with the latter It works two hardships. With the Kuropean, the cost of constructing a ship Is no higher than tbe cost of constructing a Japanese ship, but If they had to provide Kuropean crew, while the Japanese operated with Japanese crews, tho condition or competition would be such that they could not overcome the handicap and they would he driven oft. But tbe American ship would have to contend not only with the tremendous Increase of cost of wage In the substitution of the European crew for tbe Chinese crew, but also the greater initial cost of the ship.

As tbe Japanese have now done away with their European officers and Japanese crews, all of whom speak a common language, there Is no difficulty for them to comply with all the conditions of the bill and continue their Japanese crewa, with Oriental wages. "The law, therefore, instead of assisting the American ship, adds another heavy burden, while It places none whatever upon the Japanese ahlp, but, on the contrary, turns over to tbe Japanese tho traffic of the Pacific Octan, which the American ship la foroad to forego by act of Congresa of th tolled Statea." on right hip.
