The Trust Problem.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The people looking to Uncle Sam are
realizing that the education of the people
is rapidly crystallizing, so that "vox pop

illegal combinations will be restrained and
directed into legal channels and need no
insurance of the fact. 1t will prevent con-

S~helbyville Qnd.) strikers. Those that re-
strain trade are getting black eyes.
Capitalized trusts gave excuse for labor
trusts, and each will need to put them
selves into better methods, consistent with
public welfare. We are learning that the
boycott" IL born in strife or spite and
developed in malice, has no element of the
unworthy of Americans. We are also learn
ing that the strike associated with intimi-
dation of willing workers, directly or in
directly, is an illegal. criminal conspiracy
against creditable unionism, a menace in

heads of union labor. Such is contrary tC

pies OF the Declaration of independence

among which is life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness"
The writer wants to see all share in our
prosperity on terms based on equity and
justice. Let capital and labor walk in
ways of pleas ntness. where all their paths
will be paths of peace. Let the capitals,
look on his laborer as a brother, and lei
the laborer do likewise, and then shall we
be a united. happy people and proud of oul

Number of Witnesses Called to the

by Saturday.

The Marion county grand jury completed
the Investigation of the Arthur Stahl al
legged bribery case yesterday afternoon. 1t
is probable that the vote will be taken this
morning to decide whether or not an indict-
ment shall be returned.
Yesterday morning a number of wit
nesses were called to tell what they knew
about the matter. Judge Stubs was be-
fore the jury, and 1t is understood he was
questioned about a statement made to him
by City Clerk Elliott. Augustus Lynch
Mason, T. z. Griffith and Thomas c.. Day,
of the executive committee Of the Citizens
League, were called in the morning, as
were also Earl E. Martin. Gus Rahke, Chris
Schubert, Jack Christian. Clark Carpenter.
Joe Gates and John s.. duncan. In the
afternoon Fred Heller and Joe Grosart were
called.
1t is said that the testimony given was
along the line Of that secured at the pre-
liminary hearing before Judge Whallon in
Police Court. The grand jury is expected
to make a partial report Saturday.

The Rate Question.

Concerning the meeting in Chicago Tues
day TO discuss the cut-rate question the
Chicago Record-Herald says:
THE meeting of the Central Passenger
Association yesterday did not go to the
extent of s~evering all interchange rela-
lions with the Western roads, but they did
draw up a statement of the situation witt
a reiteration of the intention of demand
ing full fares on all tickets sold by the
Western lines over the Eastern connec-
tons.
Another development in the passenger
rate situation was the service of notice on
the st. Paul-Chicago lines by the Grand
Trunk. Michigan Central and Wabash that
they would not participate in the $3.50
round trip rate from st. Paul to Detroit
on account of the Epworth League meet
ing. The notice demanded that this rate
be taken out and the tickets withdrawn
from the market. The Eastern lines give
notice that if this is not lone they will re-
fuse to participate in any rates which have
been made by the Chicago-St. Paul roads
from Northern territory On account of the
Epworth meeting"

MANUFACTURERS MAY BE UNABLE
TO SUPPLY Til DEMAND.
About Three Million Tons Will BE
Needed I'm 19O4-The western Pas
senger Rate MuddIe

Indications are thai the rail mills. II
run to their full capacity, will fall far
short of supplying the demand for building
new and relaying old track in the year 1904.
The Wall-street Journal, after going care
fully over the situation, estimates that the
supply will fall short not less than 100000
tons. The prospective shortage has led the
managers of all lines that will need a
large supply to begin early negotiations with
the mills. 1t is understood that Hartman
has contracted with the United States
Steel Corporation for 10000 tons for the
Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific. but
no announcement is yet at hand Of the
conclusion of other contracts. 1t is said the
Gould system will need from 5000 to 10000
tons, the Rock Island and the Frisco Will
need in excess of o 1900 tons, and the New
York Central and the Pennsylvania will
jointly require 10000. AS the latter COM
pany can count upon securing 60 per cent.
of its requirements from it's own mills, 1t
will not be in the market for more than
5000 tons. 1t is estimated the Morgan
lines will require more steel the coming
year than any other group. but. so far as
learned, no contracts have been let. These
are only a few of the lines or systems
that will be in the market for rails. The
output of rails in 1902 was 2.s76, 293 tons. I'm
der existing conditions, taking into consid-
GRAFTON the influence of the trouble with
laborers, etc, it is not likely the output
this year will be more than 2.S0O.00 tons.
while more than 100000 will be needed
to satisfy the demands. The price, II is
understood, will remain at SIS per ton.
The history Of the steel rail manufacture
In the United States during the past thirty
five years is interesting. In 1869 the
amount of rails rolled was S,616 tons. and
the price per ton 1892 Is, while the duty on
foreign rails was 40 per cent. a valorem.
In 1850 the production rose TO S52,196 tons.
the price fell to $3.50, and the
new tariff fixed the duty at $2S
per ton. After rising to LISA, O67 tons in 1883,
the production fell of the next year to
$50, All tons. and the price fell from SCI. SO
to S4s.5o. Slice then the rise has been
gradual. till last year, when the output
was Use. 293 tons, with the selling price
SIS per ton. and the duty on foreign rails
S7.64 per ton.
