Lucille Coleman, young colored girl, stood by this lamp-post this morning waiting to cross the street. Two auto
mobiles disputed the right of way. One of them landed on the comer, knocking down the lamp-post and sending
Lucille, who may die, to the hospital.
RAIL CUT DOUBTED
DESPITE EARNINGS
Increase Has Not Yet Reach
ed “Fair Return” Rate of
Transportation Act.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Copyright. 1926. by The Star.)
News of the increase in railroad
earnings for the first six months of
this year will, after being thoroughly
digested, have certain political effects.
First, the railroad showing is an
other indication of the prosperous
condition of the country. As such it
will be ammunition on the stump for
the members of Congress who are
seeking re-election this Fall and who
will attribute the economic advances
to the policies of the party in power.
Second, it will revive the cry of the
farm groups for lower freight rates
so as to give a greater margin to the
producer.
Third, it may make more difficult
the passage of the legislation pro
posed at the last session, whereby the
war debts of the railroads to the Gov
ernment can be funded at lower in
terest rates.
