estimated.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Dec. 15.-The withdrawal
of large orders for rolling stock by
many railroad companies now gives
rise to the assumption that the cor
porations are looking forward to
continuance Of unsettled conditions in
the money market. In the case of
small roads, actual inability to secure
the necessary loans Is said to have
caused orders for cars to be counter
manded. The fact that capitalists
and high railway officials are view
ing with concern the aggressive atti-
tude of labor for, the past year is an
other theory advanced as a reason for
this step.
The Illinois Central presents a case
in which the lack, of money theory is
tenable. This railway is continually
adding to it's equipment. The build
ing of from 500 to 900 new cars was
contemplated this fall. Estimates
contracts were let the road decided
that it could wait a while before or
dering new cars. Old cars were re-
paired. = &.@
The labor question has been cited
as a cause Of the roads change of
front. If this corporation should OBJ
tain new cars more labor would be
required to operate them. This would
add to the fighting strength of labor
during the winter season. Factories
| in the central states are in many cases
reducing their forces of mechanics.
To fill orders for new cars the car
! building companies would need more
men. An opportunity would be thus
| afforded to the mechanics to secure
steady employment for the winter
months. H'I
