Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 2S.-Several of
the leading makers of high-class bicycles
have been at work for some time trying
to devise n scheme by which the infiu-

They We're assisted by other manufacture
ers, and the movement eliminated during
the week n, Il meeting held In the Hotel
Waldorf, New York.
What was supposed to be a meeting of
wrought iron pipe manufacturers. was
really a meeting of the manufacturers of
bicycle tubing. The manufacturers call
their competitors "assemblers." BY that
they mean the producers of the low
priced wheels assemble the various parts
and without actually investing any capi-
tai turn out wheel that has driven the
standard machines to the wall in the
fierce competition during the season just

We're two representatives present from
each Of the twelve firms manufacturing
tubing. and a compact was entered into,
which, 1t Is expected, will drive out the
cheap wheels.

After very long life the British rail-
way carriage, with Its independent
compartments. begins to show signs of
having passed its meridian. AS travel
becomes more extended. and journeys
grow in length, Its disadvantages are
more generally felt Privacy and ex-
clusiveness are dearly purchased when
accompanied by virtual imprisonment
without food and warmth. Hence the
great popularity Of the American cor
ridor trains with their freedom, COM
Portable temperature and excellent
meals. At present there are but few
of them. but they are SO much appre-
ciated that 1t is evident to the railway
world that In few years they must
be adopted for all long distance traffic,
and with them the second class must
