Foss1 Millions to Labor.

There should bean interesting local
side to the amazing story of wage in
crease that is being gradually written
in the policy of all railroads 1t began
with the sensational ten per cent in
crease by the Pennsylvania, followed
Immediately by the Vanderbilt roads
and gradually by all the lines in the
country Some adopt the flat increase
of the big lines and SOME are ADJUST
ing wage scales by a sfower process
The latest table shows thirty-six CONF
panies, covering three-aua1ters of the
mileage of the country, which have ad-
ded nearly $4S,000.000 to theirtpay rolls,
making a total of nearly S470,s00,00O
This includes several westelN. roads
which have not been heard of Ideally,
perhaps because the orders issued at
financial headquarters have not ret
been carried into effect on the lines.
These are the Milwaukee and NorthA
western. the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Burlington, the Alton, Rock
Island and Union Pacific. The average
is said to be 10 per cent tho. In the
companies that have increased by re-
yising their scales, the net increase for
individuals varies from 5 to 20 per cent.
No business transaction of this magni-
tude ever has been carried out so quie-

ADMlREs ROOSEVELT.
Alfred MoseIy Says Kind Words of the
President

New York. Dec. 5-President Roose-
welt has an enthusiastic admirer in AL
fred Mosely, the millionaire student of
economics, whose commission OF TWEEN
-ty- three British labor leaders, brought
to this country at his expense, has been
studying American methods at the
centers of industry.
At the Thanksgiving dinner in Lon
don Ambassador Choate, in his post
prandial speech, made a declaration
that has attracted much attention in
England.
The influence of President Roose-
velt's personality and public spirit"
he said, worked an immense change
upon the young men of America"
Mr.. Choate's expression was repeated
to Mr.. Mosely at the Waldorf Astoria
today and elected this encomium from
the English economist:
1T must be as Mr.. Choate says. Mr..
Roosevelt has an influence upon me. I
am deeply impressed by his force, his
activity, his firm belief in himself.
Were an American. had I the privil-
eye to vote, it would be my bounden
duty to vote for Mr.. Roosevelt Mark
you, am not discussing whether his
policy is right or wrong from the
American viewpoint; but, right or
wrong, he does things as you say in
this country. In matter of policy or
opinion, who OF us is to say that the
other is wrong After all, right is the
consensus of opinion at the moment.
The consensus of opinion may change
to morrow.
81 am convinced there never was a
more honorable, sincere, forceful man
than your president. England has a
man very much of Roosevelt's stamp
Chamberlain-Nho is carrying all be-
fore him. Roosevelt is being appreci-
ated, too, on the continent. AS you
must know, the kaiser, himself siren
uous,' is greatly interested in the pres
ident."

not the railroads will be able to carry
this increase In their charges to the
public. 1t is computed that the 10 per
cent increase means a reduction of IA
per cent in the average dividend earn
ing capacity. This must be made up
somehow or dividends will fall off.
Many roads have been earning large
annual SURPRISES. The net earnings to
June Goth of all the roads were more
than S50,000000 more than last year.
Many of the roads are about to make
large annual savings by refunding high
interest bonds. In few years the an
nual saving from this cause will be
$4,000, oo0.The Burlington, the Milwau-
kee and the Northwestern will save in
this way more than half their wage IN
crease. This is a permanent saving. Ill
half of the increase in net earnings Is
permanent, these two items will bal
ance the increased wages. There really
does not seem to be any need to raise
freight rates on this ground.

Iowa Men Like It.

Washington, Dec. S.-The members of
the Iowa delegation without exception
comment favorably upon the presidents
message. His attitude on trusts, the
canal, the tariff and foreign relations is
generally approved. some of the Iowa
members considering this or that point
particularly strong, but all agreeing
that the message is able, conservative
and sensible. Colonel Hepburn takes
