should the antitrust party win al the

TRUST PRESIDENT ALARMED.
Sees Great Danger i'm the Possible
ELECTION of Bryan.

-
Ebert H. Gary is president of the
great FederaFl Steel Trust, which owns
immense mines, railways, furnaces,
steel mills. industrial towns. and nu-
merous minor industries. His plants
are scattered Throughout several CT the
central Westerns States. They absorb
all the numerous lines of industry con-
nected with the mining, transportation,
smelling, and manufacture of millions of
tons of iron and steel. They have a
total capitalization of more than s125,-
GOO. The Federal Steel Trust was one
of the chief members of the pool which
recently fixed the price of steel rails for
the coming year at s26 a ton.
President Gary views with alarm"
the possibility of the election of Mr..
Bryan as President of the United States.
and will do all that is in his power to
prevent this occurring. whether it is in
the line Of influencing his own tens OF
thousands of werkmen or in the spread
ing OF his alarm among business mer
and the public at large. A statement
issued by President Gary yesterday with
regard to the purchase of steel rails by
the railways of the country is the latest
effort in bis campaign. II states that
the railways are also afraid of Demo-
cratic success, ana must hold back their
orders, and thus prevent a return Of
prosperity to the trade until Mr.. Nc
kiniey has been elected. Mr.. Gary says.
Orders for rails are coming in reason
ably well. Only today we sold $4,000 tons
to one railroad company. Several rail-
road presidents have stated to ne that
they are withholding large portion of
their orders until all uncertainty concern
ing the election is removed This. 1 may
say, is also true of several of our other
customers. They are buying sparingiy,
but il things go right they are likely to
go in for heavy purchases.
Depending on the result of the election.
there viii be from l. 100 900 to 2.200, 900
tons of steel rail required during the cur
rent year. If the larger amount is taken,
the rail mills of the country will be ope-
rated to their full capacity for the year.
This estimate of the number of rails re-
quired is based on statements made by
railroad experts
The President of TIE Federal Steel
Trust, however, does not state the exact
truth regarding the unwiliingness of the
railways to buy rails at $26 ton. There
have been many complaints from the rail-
ways, from all parts OF the country, that
the price fixed by the pool of steel trusts
is TOO high. The rails cannot be pur-
chased from anyone else than the pool Of
steel trusts. but the railways have the al
tentative OF refusing to buy from anyone
until betters terms are secured and many
OF them now threaten to do this. The
railways are able to wait before making
their improvements indefinitely.

YOUNG CROKER AT WORK.

Learning ShipbuiIding

ELIZABETH, n. J., Oct Herbert
Croker, the youngest son of Richard Crok-
er, has started tc learn shipbuildfng at
Lewis Nixon's shiDyard.
He began work there on Monday and is
progressing satisfactorily. The young man
is twenty years old, tall and muscular.
Mr.. Nixon says that there is no truth in
the stories about the young man wearing
a leather apron and working in foundry
at the shipyard, for there is no such
branch there.
Herbert said Mr., Nixon, sis the third
son of Mr.. Croker, and has antered the
shipyard to learn the business. He has
been started in the mold loft where the
most important work is done in building
ship. for this is the fountainhead for in
formation for workmen outside All the
lines of q vessel to be constructed are laid
out in this department Young Croker has
taken hold and seems to be determined to
do well and thoroughly whatever is given
him.
The young man has secured a boarding
house at Miss Parrots South Broad Street

meals He reports regularly at o'clock
each morning for duty and quits at p. N.
He has one hour for dinner.

The willy Coal Trust.

We have always appreciated the
beauties of the object lesson which the
Coal Trust is presenting to US in Penn
sylvania. It's cynical policy of starva-
tlon for the workers has been hand
somely exemplifed, and we have ex-
pected the picture to end with that
But il is now developed that there is
something more, and even more charac-
teristic of trusts, in the trust play in
this game.
There are many individual operators
in the anthracite region. Compared
with the great coal mining and carry
ing companies, like the Reading and the
Lackawanna. or the Erie or Central,
and utterly at the mercy of the coal
transportation companies. 1t is now
more than suspected that one of the OBJ
jects of the Coal Trust in producing the
conditions which precipitated the strike
was to freeze out the individual opera
tors and add their holdings ana profits
to the trust bag.
The Coal Trust is in a position TO ruin
every non-trust producer in the anthracite
field, by putting up the cost of carriage bs-
yond what he can pay. Outsiders declare
right now that. in view of the trust ex,
actions for freight charges. they are una
BILE TO meet even the trust concession of
ten per cent advance in miners wages. OF
course they are, and it is the intention on
their great and greedy competitor TO drive
them out of business. 1t is the history of
Standard Oil destruction and absorption
over again, and the method is all the more
obvious, since John D. Rockefeller is the
partner of ]. Pierpont Morgan in control
Of the Anthracite Coal Trust.

The Administration has finally wobbled
around to a position where, its friends say,
it is in substantial agreement with Ger
many in China. This is what We have been
expecting for several days. Since the re-
turn to Washington of the Secretary of
State, he has made it his business to be
very good to the German Charge d'Affaires,
who, by the way, is one of the ablest mem
bers of the Corps Diplomatique in Wash
ington. And German American sentiment
is being placated. to the extent it can be,
by a pretence of accord with the policy of
the Kaiser.
That policy is one which could not well
be ignored at this time. The whole letter
of Wilhelm II to the Emperor of China has
excited too much admiration in this eoun-
try to be treated with anything less than
respect. The knightly and Christian SEN
timents and purposes it discloses are at
once glory to His German Majesty and a
shame to others who have sacrificed their
principles and duty to civilization and hu-
manity. 1t is high time that the Admin
istration should begin to square itself with
the public opinion of the country. We are
glad to see that Colonel Hay recognizes the
fact, and is working to undo the mischief
that cabbage and postage stamp diploma
| lists have wrought during his absence. The
American people are not disposed TO for

is a cfnch. Neither can they count tens OF
