Canalization of Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence
Waterways Project
Washington:—Impetus to the move
ment favoring linking the Great Lakes
states and the corn and wheat belts of
the interior with the Atlantic ocean
through canalization of the St. Law
rence-Great Lakes deep waterway pro
feet. was given at a dinner here Friday
night, arranged by the Toledo Cham
ber of Commerce.
About a score of Ohio and Michigan
congressmen attended. Both Senator
Burton and former Senator Burton, of
Ohio, agreed that completion of the
.canal will mean more to the country
than the f’aoama canal. Senator Porn
erene pointed out that the tonnage of
this country doubles everv ten years
and asked how the total to he trans
ported ten years from now will be
moved with a railroad system inade
quate for present needs
Speakers emphasized that eighteen
interior states are united either by leg
islative or executive action in pushing
the project. The position of New York
otficials and spokesmen for other ports,
especial 1 A Baltimore, was assailed by
Senatoa Pomerene and Mr. Burton,
both of whom said New York is exhib
iting poor sportsmanship in view of the
millions that interior states have paid
in taxation for the development of that
port.
“The interior of this country,” de
clared Senator Pomerene, “is develop
ing so rapidly and to such an extent
that it is breaking its bounds and must
have direct access to the sea. And
that it means to have.”
Mr. Burton declared that of the four
means of transportation—motor truck,
barge canal, railroads, and deep water
ways canal, the latter is the most
promising. He laid stress on the enor
mous waterpower that may be gener
ated by development of the St. Law
rence river and predicted that such
power will displace coal-generated
power in the future. The fact that ice
will close the route for four or five
months during the year is not a serious
argument to overcome, he added.
In the 300 miles of shore between
Buffalo and Toledo, on Lake Erie, more
tonnage is hauled in lake bottoms than
is the total tonnage- of Germany and
France, Mr Burton declared. He cited
figures revealing that Duluth and St.
Paul are next in importance as ports to
New York city.

Outbreaks Mark Pay Quiz.
Topeka, Kans.— Demonstrations at
two Topeka dry goods stores in protest
against testimony in the minimum
wage hearing here led to a statement j
by Judge James McDermott Friday,
that all evidence on the cost of living
would be gone over carefully before a
| decision vvas rendered,
j Several hundred women entered
Thursday night demanding “to see I
bargains’’ mentioned at the industrial
court hearing by salesmen. One of
them fixed $87.f>5 a year as a reason-j
able outlay for clothing for a working;
girl. When shown some of the articles
cited, strenuous protests followed, one
girl dashing a box of 25-cent cotton
stockings on the floor and tramping on
them.

who hold up William Kssigke. a, grocer,
Tuesday night, became repentant il
most as soon as they had taken $10
from him, and returned the money.
The men, meeting' the grocer in a
dark street in the residence portion of
the city, ordered him to throw up his
hands, took the money from his pock
ets, and then ordered him to ‘ walk
straight ahead and say nothing.1’ Us

only a short distance when one of the
