THE RAILROADS AND THE FAIR.

Those who feel that the railroad presi-
dents have not made sufficient reduc-
tion in the railroad fares to the Colum-
bian Exposition must remember that
the aim of these men is to make money
for their stockholders, that in order to
make the most money they will offer
just as complete facilities and just as
low rates as the quantity of the proba-
BILE business warrants.
Few realize the magnitude of the
undertaking which faces the railroads.
The great trunk lines have now Just
enough equipment and just enough
tracks for their regular business.
They are asked to accommo-
date probably five times the
regular passenger business, not for a
series of years, but for six months
Five times their passenger rolling stock
would not cost so much. but the moving
of it would require miles of additional
tracks, miles of additional sidings and
many more locomotives. All these are
TO be provided and TO be laid aside at
the end Of six months. Who will pay
the interest on the money that they
cost at the end of that time? They
will constitute an extraordinary capital
expense for which there will be only a
temporary return.
The magnitude of the difficulty will be
still further appreciated if the public
will consider the comparative amount
and value Of the freight and passenger
traffic. The eleven trunk lines running
from the seaboard receive three times
ms much income from their freight traf
fic as from their passenger traffic. II i,
far more important from busines,
point Of view that the freight should b,
moved regularly than that the extr,
passengers should be carried. Ever,
extra passenger train causes della,
to the freight. For this freigh
business there is the sharpes
competition. Any failure on par
OF one line 10 perform Its servic
promptly will divert the traffic to an
other line and entail a consequent los
tc the one which delays. No railroa
can afford TO risk even n small porto
of It's freight business for possibl
gain in passenger business, particular
when that gain in amount is not attend
ed by corresponding gain In profits

p. NJ. ARTHUR, speaking for the Rail
road brotherhood, says that they Will
vote to inaugurate no strike next year.
He fears the condemnation which would
attach to any strike while the Worlds
Fair is going ON. His argument is, how
ever. only the question of expediency.
1t might be well for Mr.. Arthur to re-
member that if his cause is just the
question of expediency cannot be raised.
If justice demands strike no amount
of expediency can make up for its delay.

and lower rates mean reductio in the
margin of profits.
There is no philanthropy or sentiment
in this question. 1t is simply ques-
ton for the railroad managers to de-
eide. And they are to decide only at
just what rates they can afford to do
such increased passenger business as
will not interfere with their regular
freight business. 1t is delicate ques-
ton to settle, and the more one con-
sideres it in all its phases the more one
may be thankful that the railroads did
not raise rather than lower the rates.
