Preliminary steps Toward Building a
New Line-Receiver Asked for

Preliminary

READING, Pa, Aug. From a docu-
ment filed in court to-day it is understood
that the Wabash railroad system will be
extended from Baltimore to Reading and
thence to New York. This afternoon the
Reading, Lancaster & Southern Railroad
Company placed a mortgage of S2.S00.O00 on
record. There are $500 bonds of par value
of $1,000 each, bearing per cent. interest
for forty years, to be paid in gold al ma
turity Isaac spatz. of Mohonsville, is presi-
dent and Sydney c. Long, of Baltimore. is
secretary. The officers of the company are
in Lancaster, Baltimore and New York. The
mortgage is given TO the Mercantile Turst
Company of New York. trustee for the bond
holders. The documents says the company
is to build and operate q railroad from
Reading to Baltimore
President Spatz in speaking of the new
line. said: 'It may take little time until
building operations eommenced, but we
expect to start this fall. From Reading to
occupy the route of the Reading, Lancaster
* Baltimore road. From Terre Hill a new
route. will be used The road will save
fifty miles from the coal regions to Balti-
more"
When asked if il had any connection with
any other big company, Mr. Spatz said:
You may say that at Reading and in Bal
timore the new line will have important
connections"

MANY MILLS TO BE IDLE
COTTON MARKET SPECULATION
CAUSES CESSATION OF WORK.
Millions of SpindIes VIII he stopped
and Thousands of Operatives Will
Have Nothing 20 Do.

BOSTON, Aug. LIN cotton manufacture
than 100000 spindles will be idle through
out the North during the month of August,
due mainly to high prices in the cotton
market and the hesitancy of purchasers of
goods to agree to any marked advance while
any raw material purchased before the rise
remains in the storehouses. Attempts have
been made to induce all cotton manufac-
turers TO enter a general agreement to
shut down for a stated period or on GER
tain days of each week, but owing to q
large number of unfinished contracts an
ironclad agreement was deemed inexpedient
at this time.
The conditions in the cotton market have
caused much inconvenience in Fall River,
the textile center of North America. About
one-third of the 10000 operatives there have
been idle this week. and of the 200, 900 spin
dies 100000 will not be working next week
In Lowell, another leading mill center,
the high price of cotton has not had any
noticeable effect account of the long
shutdown of six corporation during the
strike of the operatives.
In Maine the mills at Lewiston, Lisbon
and Brunswick Will shut down for two
weeks. Among other corporations which
also VIII curtail their product are the Queen
City, of Burlington, and the North Pownal,
of Pownal, VT, the Monadnock mills, of
Claremont and the Cocheco mills of Do
yer, N H., the BernOn mills, of George
vile, r. l., and other plants i'm the latter
State and several of the corporations in
the Quinnebaug valley, eastern Connecti-
cut.
There is confident feeling in cotton
mill circles that after September Is we'll ad-
vanced a general Improvement in market
conditions will occur.

Fight Between the Builders League
and Unionists to Continue.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 1.-The fight between
the Builders League and the Building
Trades Council seems to be on in earnest
The breach was widened by the action
taken at a meeting of the trades council
tonight which lasted until midnight.
After much discussion the following let
ter was sent to the secretary of the Build
ers' League:
1.-THE committee from the Building
Trades Council authorized to confer with
your honorable body submitted it's report
of the meeting held July 81, and at a Fegu-
lar meeting of the trades council this reso-
luton was unanimously adopted:
% Resolved, That We, the members of
the Building Trades Council, in regular
convention assembled, do hereby refuse to
concur in the recommendation offered by
the Builders League. namely. that all men
go back 10 work on all jobs in dispute; and
il is further
Resolved. That this body cannot see
it's way clear to urge the men to return to
work at this time
I'VE desire it to be understood that we
stand ready at all times to arbitrate any
and all questions that in dispute or
that may arise in the future.

BIG TRACTION PURCHASE.
New York Trust Company Secures
Long Island Railways.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-More than 200
miles of electric railway, worth millions
of dollars, extending throughout Queens
and Nassau counties, Long island, has
passed into the control of trust company
in this city. This is probably one of the
largest street railway deals ever made in
Greater New York.
For some time the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and the interests represented in
the subway rapid transit are said to have
desired possession of these railways. Eleven
years ago the Steinway interests, which
then owned the horse-car system in Long
Island City, began to build q tunnel under
the East river The work came to a dis
astrous end when a dynamite explosion
killed several men and did 100000 damage
BY means of this tunnel the trolley system
of Long island could be made part of the
subway system of Manhattan and several
times ii had been reported that the electric
system Of Queens had passed into the con-
troll of the Belmont interests. Whether
the trust company represents the Belmont
or the Pennsylvania Railroad interests
could not be learned.
In addition to lines already in operation
many unused franchises go with the roads
purchased, so the company acquiring the
property can practically gridiron the bor-
ough of Queens.
