Eastern Roads to Garry Cycles Free.
The threatened movement of the
railroads to make uniform charge for
carrying bicycles of passengers In the
entire territory east of Chicago has
been defeated by the trunk line oper-
ating between Pittsburg and Buffalo
and New York. When these roads
voted against the proposition the
transportation companies between Buff
falo and Pittsburg and Chicago were
forced to drop the scheme. The re-
fusal of the eastern trunk lines was
not optional, however, but was caused
by the fact, as pointed out in the Cycle
Age some time ago, that the proposed
measure was in direct conflict with the
laws of number of eastern states
which require that railroads carry BIZ
cles as baggage. officers of nearly
every road in the territory named were
in favor of making a uniform charge
for bicycles, but as the lines travers-
ing states where such a charge could
not be legally made it was found i'm
practical for competing lines in ad-
Joining states to attempt to levy tax.
The action of the east-bound railroads
will be hailed with delight by bicyclists
generally, and by professional riders
in particular, as a charge such as 1t
was proposed to make would have
meant the expenditure of thousands OF
dollars every season. When the ques-
tion of making charge was talked OF
a few weeks ago wheelmens clubs and
organizations throughout the country
strongly protested to the railroad Off
GERS, and the position of the bicyclists
had some influence undoubtedly in
causing the proposition to be voted
down. At a meeting Of the general
passenger agents Of the roads running
west from Chicago, which lines charge
for bicycles as excess baggage, it was
agreed to that hereafter crates and
trunks in which bicycles are shipped
must be charged for in addition to
the machines.

Figures Tell the Tale.

AS chairman of the rights and privi-
leges committee of the l.. A. w. Con-
way Sans recently needed a list OF
the racing men now registered with
the L. A. w., and sent to Chairman
Gerlach for the list. When it came Mr..
Sans was astonished to find that 1t
contained only 200 names of the more
than 5000 racing men in America. AT
that rate of loss we will soon have no.
body to control, and the question will
settle ITSELF" was Mr.. Sans comment.
When Chairman Albert Mott relin-
pushed control of the sport there were
hardly more than 100 racing men and
fewer than half dozen tracks out
side of the L. A. w. fold.

The first murder known to have been
committed at a bicycle meet in this
country occurred at Madison Square
Garden recently, when Fred f. Slater
was deliberately shot in his grand
stand seat by young man who later
gave his name to the police as William
Rosser, aged twenty-one. The fellow
who did the shooting appeared to be
under the influence of intoXicants.
Rosser overheard Slater remark that
Banker was sure winner in one OF
the sprint races, and took exception to
the opinion, which Slater offered TO
back with dollar, whereupon Rosser
pulled out revolver and shot him.
Slater was removed to the hospital,
where he will probably die.

Twelve hours a day per man was a
style of going that pleased the New
York public at the recent siX-day race.
1t insured fast pace all the way with
the men in good condition and fur
nished excitement by the frequent at
element of accident. The opinions of
the riders differed as to the strain of
the new style as compared with the
siX-day continuous individual grind.
The writer talked with all the leaders
about this. Miller thought it much
harder owing to the necessity for con-
slant watching to prevent others steal
ing laps and the absence of oportun-
ity to make up for losses by subsequent
sticking to the track. 1t suited Wal
ler's strength and temperament to a
nicely. All he had to do was to hang
on to the bunch without any RESPONSE
bility to beat anybody until the end.
Gimm and Pierce both thought the
new style "a snap" as they expressed
it, and far less wearing than the old
grind. The sprinters, naturally, all
liked the relay plan. The foreigners
would talk of nothing but the encour-
agement they had received from the
cheering American spectators, whose
applause they say enabled them to
stick out their terrific sprints until the
laps they gained were stolen.-Cycle

Reports from the foreign labor field
Indicate a season of general activity in
the principal skilled crafts, with en-
ployment fairly brisk, and in some in
stances slight advances irf wages.
What would be considered as an in
significant figure in the United States
is hailed as satisfactory advance in
the old country. Carpenters and join
ers in Newcastle, England, have just
had farthing an hour added to their
wages, and are highly pleased thereat
Building trades, painters and engineers
report employment brisk. Great de-
mand has existed for agricultural la
borers the past season, while mining
in general has been quite active. More
than 600 ships are now under con-
struction in the ship yards of England,
which indicates intense activity in this
industry. Extensive government con-
tracts have absorbed the supply Of
workers in many branches and syimu-
lated the iron industries beyond any
period in recent history.

Europe's unique transportation way
is the Forst Rope Road. In the can
ton of Grisons, on the dizzy precipice
of Via Mala (the bad way, deep de-
file of Switzerland along the Rhine,
walled in by precipices in some places
1000 feet high, it is so difficult to get
the felled trees across the valley that
wire rope railway hangs from the
mountain top across the valley down
the Rongellen. To this cable are
fastened big logs by rope and pulley,
which slowly are carried across the
valley. When severe storms sweep
down FROM the mountain passes, FREE
quently the system gets tangled, and
then it is necessary for some one to
make the perilous journey out ON the
rope to unravel the mass.

George Banker and w. A. Ruiz, the
new and very successful professional,
had a bitter mile heat contest in New
York the other afternoon. In the first
heat the New Haven boy, in attempt
ing to cut in on the inside, was
thrown, and Banker won the heat in
2:15. Ruiz won the second heat by a
sprint at the finish in 2:5O, though
Banker lodged claim of foul, which
was not allowed. The bitterness en-
gendered between the two over this
prevented the running of the final heat.

Writing of the condition of the iron
and steel industry within the juris-
diction of the Chicago fourth) district
of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Tin and Steel Workers, a prom
inent officer of the association COM
municates the following: THE num-
Der of iron, tin and steel workers I'M
der this jurisdiction amounts to 10000,
whose wages have been increased since
1897 on an average about 30 per cent
with % to 80 per cent more men en-
ployed, with the puddlers' rate of
wages higher than since 1882. Steel
rail workers are better off than they
were in 1891 and 1892, with the market
price of rails firm at S33 per ton.
South Chicago has the largest steel
mill in the world, together with plate
and slab mills, with more than 5000
men daily employed, a greater num-
Der than in the history of the insti-
tuition. Common labor in 1897 re-
ceived ~ cents an hour, while 10 cents
prevails now. Skilled workmen, such
as stationary engineers and machinists
and blacksmiths, have advanced 10 to
Is per cent, or the wages ruling in
1892 Iron and steel workers are con-
graduating themselves on the outlook
for their industry, as the company
now has orders on its books suffi-
cient to keep it running throughout
the whole of 1900"

the general feeling was that the A. A.

than in the corresponding months Of
any preceding year, and at higher
rate per bushel than in any year since

in the eleven months of 1899 being 40
cents per bushel, against 81 cents In
1895. and 81 cents in the correspond

as much as that Of 1893 and 1884. In
cornmeal the growth is equally rapid,
the exports during the eleven months
of 1894 being 237, O95 barrels, while in

The mile professional handicap at
the six days race in New York was
run in the fast time of 2:O4 20.
Banker started from scratch with
Eaton at Is yards, Ruiz at 80 and
Stone, Judge and Ireland at 80 yards.
There was no jockeying this time by
the back men, who pursued the long
markers at a terrific clip from the
start, catching them at half mile.
Eaton jumped at the seventh lap, his
old starting point for most of his sue
cessful indoor victories, and could not
be caught, winning by three yards,
with Banker second, half a length
ahead of Ruiz. Banker again claimed
foul riding against Ruiz, who was
fined SIS by the referee for the oifense,
though it seemed as though the flying
Eaton could not have been caught m
der any conditions.
