years. and perhaps can appreciate fairly well the difficulties of always ad- justing freight rates to suit the idea of the man who pays the freight and at the same time receive fair compensa- ton for the railroad. It is only natur- al that a shipper should seek to obtain freight rate that will enable him to market his goods at a less cost than he has been paying, but the railroad of ficial has to bear in mind the fact that he represents a common carrier, and that if he grants a request that comes before him, he may be doing a great injury to another manufacturer located at another point on the same road, and which of course would be unjust.
 Many people think that the cure for this situation is government control of railroads. I think the answer to that is that in many countries, in Europe in Australia, and what is nearer home, in Canada, there exist railroads owned and operated by the government, and, setting aside the serious objections that have developed of the government rail- roads being managed more or less with political objects in veiw, and dealing only with the commercial phase of it, so far as I have been able to ascertain, the complaints regarding inequalities of freight rates, etc, are just as numerous in the case of roads owned and operat- ed by the government as they are against roads operated by private com panies; and in some countries where there are some railroads operated by the government and others operated by private companies the pubic satisfac- tion appears to be much greater with those operated by companies than with those operated by the government, be- cause, while shippers may not and prob ably do not always get from a railroad company what they want, the negoti- ations are certainly conducted on a purely business and no ton a political basis.
 shipper desiring to obtain par ticular freight rate from railroad company should bear in mind that if he sought to buy goods of a manufac- turer, he would hardly expect to go into that manufacturers office and tell him that he was going to take some goods from the manufacturer and pay him a certain price for them and that the price would leave the manufacturer a very handsome profit, in other words, he would hardly expect to give the

 railroad man has notyet been born who can make a schedule that will accom- modate all of the travelling public; and cur plan as to making up these train schedules is to try and make general changes only twice a year. Of course minor changes have to be made at Other times, but these general changes we endeavor to restrict to the spring and fall. Before each change is made. we have what we call '.time-card meet ings'' of all the officers interested, and the point that I want to make in con- nection with this matter is this: Every suggestion received by any officer of the company as to the running of any train, or any branch of the system, is laid aside until one of these conferences is held. and then every single communi- cation of this kind that has been re- ceived is discussed. and considered, and adopted if possible; and incidental ly I might remark, to put it more mild ly, that at each of these conferences there are several hundred of such sug- gestions considered, and what governs the officers in reaching a conclusion is. what time-card can be made that will accommodate the majority of the trav- cling public.
 might mention here, simply as a small matter of interest. that state ment was recently compiled by my in tructions showing the number of com- munications received and sent out on an average each day by one department alone of this railroad, and the aver age number of such communications, including telephone calls, was found to exceed 21,0O0 per day.
 would like to say word as to the relations between the receivers and shippers of freight and the railroads, not only as between ourselves, that is to say, not only between the receivers and shippers of freight on the line of the New Haven road and the manage nlent of that road, but those relations generally between receivers and ship pers of freight and the railroads of the country. The relation must be one of mutual interest. The welfare of the one is absolutely dependent upon the other. The prosperity of any railroad is bound up in the prosperity of it's pa- trons I do not know of any more complicated or difficult, and in some cases unsatisfactory task, than the making of equitable freight rates. I have had hand in it for about thirty

 Mir. Todd after expressing his pleas ure at being called upon to respond, called attention to the importance to the New Haven system of the Nauga- tuck division. He said that there are some grievances against the New Ha- ven road held by Waterbury people, some hereditary grievances, others i'm aginary, and also some which are real. Of these latter he wished to speak at length, and to assure the business men of the city that no unnecessary delay would ensue in carrying out certain Improvements. He said that the money for double tracking the line south of Waterbury has been provided, and a great deal of property acquired, and ground will be broken and work com menced as soon as weather conditions permit. He pointed to the extensive Improvements at Naugatuck Junction, Ansonia and Derby as evidence of the intention of the road to improve the entire division.
 MT. Todd referred to the speeches which Mir Mellen has made, emphasiz- ing the fact that the road desires to maintain friendly relations with it's patrons. He said the conpany's officers are always ready to receive complaints and suggestions and would give them due consideration, but he did not think it businesslike to rake up. grievances of long standing, only to discover that they had been corrected years ago.
 In this connection, I would like to make one statement that may perhaps interest you. The making up of pas senger train schedules on this road is a very complicated matter. With so many branches and divisions crossing and i1- tersecting each other, and with the ne cessary connections between trains at junction points it is a very serious task to schedule trains so as to accom- modate the majority of the travelling public. say majority" because the

| The terrible death of the three fe-
 males on the railroad track below Mar
 shall street yesterday morning, as told
 in another column, cast a thrillof hor-
 TOT about the borough, as it is one of
 the worst that ever happened here. One
 of the employees of the Biggins- Rodgers
 company, whose factory is but snort
 distance from the scene of the accident,
 stated last evening that the terrible occurrence was not a surprise to the
 employees of the factory, as there have
 been several narrow escapes along the l tracks in that vicinity for similar acci-
 dents, as for many months women and
 young girls, sometimes dozen in num-
 Der, are scattered along the track. look 1 ing for coal, and quite often women have been seen to climb on to the mov- ing freight cars, haul coal out of the cars and jump off and pick it up. There
 is 8 heavy grade at this point and some | of the freight trains move slowly for
 quite distance. The females often-s times line along beside the track and 1 shout to the brakemen to throw off | coal, which quite often is done, and when the brakemen refuse to do so | they are subjected to abuse from the | women. The language used at times is not only profane, but otherwise inde- | cent. The scene of the disaster of yes- | terday morning is a quarter of a mile from any railroad crossing, and no
 blame can be attached to- the railroad company or trainmen.
