Jhe charge made by the City Warden OF
Atlanta that the cotton mills OF that
city were responsible for the great influx
Of paupers, and that the mills paid atarya-
tion wages. has called forth a vigorous
protest from Mr. Jacob Elsas, president
Of one of the largest cotton manufacturing
concerns in the city. lie says that the
operatives are paid average wages and
that they are not starving. as alleged.
He says that they have a model village
and that their employees are getting along
nicely that the children are paid from
$3.50 TO $3.50 a week. while adults get
from 800 TO- $50. The mills give en-
ployment 90 1900 operatives. and the Fre-
sicent says Chat. while the wages are not
high. they are more than the operatives
could get IF they remained on the farm.
This is not the first time that this ques-

shows that they cover the distance from
Montreal to Vancouver in 100 hours. But
az a matter OF fact passengers can go oy

forty minutes. and are doing so every day
via st. Paul From New York To Chicago

FREIGHT WAR COMING NEST
TROUBLE WITH GULF STEAMSHIPS
NAY DE rAR-REACnlNG.


Traffic officials OF Western lines are
facing critical situation. They have
been forced so meet rate reductions made
~ the steamship lines TO Gulf ports In
combination with the Kansas City. Pitts
burg x Gulf railroad. freight To all
points west of the Missouri river.
For many years the so-caIied Guif lines
out Of New York have had dinerenssai
or lower rate BY Is cents per loo pounds
than the aIi-rail lines TO Texas. by way
Of Chicago and ST. Louis, and the result
was that the Gulf lines carried nearly
IS per cent of the competitive traffic out
OF New York. Five years ago the Gulf
lines succeeded In having their differen-
tisI extended to Utah and Colorado Now
they demand dlnerentiai Of Is cents on
oil fransmissouri river traffic
This demand comes just after a reduc-
ton made By the Gulf lines OF the rate
on f1rsf-ciass freight from New York TO
Texas to IS cents. Prior to last March
the rate was $751;. In that month the
Morgan and Mallory steamship lines, In
connection with the Kansas City, Pitts
e dls a' , ,s :, , =. ws.,.. :. -,
roads decided TO use every possible In
luence 10 Induce the X. G., r. & G. not
20 participate In the Scent rate proposed
By the steamship lines from New York
TO Gulf ports, but az that line refused to
the scent rate via ali-raii from New
York To fransmissouri territory. and are
retaiiattnE In ar endeAyor 10 boycott the
recalcitrauf Kansas City road.
Thus there IL precipitated freight rate
war that viii probably include every
road Of prominence I'm the United States.
The only one not greatly concerned IL
the Southern Pacific. which owns the
Morgan line OF steamships. but that must
suffer some with the others. for II win
lose considerable business through COM
peting linss carrying freight at the same
rates as II has through It's steamship
service 10 Galveston and thence to the
coast and ever its Sunset route.
The fight has not yet extended into
Northwestern territory TO any appreci-
able extent. but II In believed II win soon.
AZ the new tariff sheets already apply
- far west as Omaha. and y freight
destined from New York 10 the North
PACIFIC coast there cannot fail To be a
considerable reduction. X the roads per-
Eist In maintaining through rates prevail
Ing before this reduction. there promises
to be- a considerable detection to the
Southern Pacific. As under the law the
roads cannot restore rates without ten
days notice and all freight in transit at
the time OF the restoration must be car
ried AT the low rate, II will likely be sew
erai weeks before the end of the present
trouble.
