| -The question of, national aid. was
dealt with and the measure now be-
fore congress in the Latimer bill out
lined. Among the chief arguments
set forth for national aid were the
fact that no complete system Of roads
had ever been possible without nation
aG.aid; they We're needed by the gov
eminent for mail and military uses, "
/ t1tfWass argued that stchi az measure

OFFERS A COMPROMISE
OMAHA ROAD is WILLING TO
MAKE S47.5O A MONTH THE
MINIMUM FOR. TELEGRAPHERS.


The management of the Omaha
railroad has declined to meet the de-
mand Of the telegraph operators sof the
system that the minimum wage be in
creased from S45 to $50 per month.
Instead, the company has offered to
put into effect what is known as the
Northwestern SCALE which provides
for. a minimum Of $47.50. This offer
has been transmitted to the general
grievance committee of operators, and
is now under considerations.
The operators have also asked that
station agents who serve as operators
during any portion of the day, be
classed as photographers and that
they. be paid the wages Of that class,
but to this also the company has de-
clined to accede. The agents WHO
fill in stated intervals at the key will
be rated photographers but those
who sit at the instrument only occa-
sionally, or who act as temporary
substitutes, will not be SO rated. They
will, however, be. paid overtime al
fair rates.

TO PUSH WORK
IRON MILLS EXPECT A LARGE
l. INCREASE IN BUSINESS.
Low Prices Invite Expenditures by the
Roads, Says the Iron Trade Review
Placing of Loans Points to Expec-
tation of Traffic by the Railroads. {

i The floating of large railroad loans
the last two weeks will relieve the de-
preston affecting furnaces, foundr1es
and mills, Which. have suffered from
the lack of railroad support. Bust
ness has been lacking because Of, the
inability Of, transportation interests
adYanta geously to finance their enter
prises. Iron and steel interests are on
the, tiptoe Of expectation because Of
the ayoWed intention to use in better
lnents these funds, raised by stock and
bond issues and by the placing of
short time notes. r..
Railroad men say that 100000, 900
will not cover the needs of transpor-
tafion interests in the next, two years.
Work already outlined requiring the
expenditure of about $3.50, 100000 has
been held off because money was close.
The placing of these loans shows that
the roads expect to- increase their
expense. The Trade Review says
on the general subject. of the depend
ence of the iron and steel trade on
railroad business: r = ~
while official prices Of structural
material have not been reduced, it is
known that contracts for Fabricated
steel, especially railroad bridges, have
been taken on a basis which seems
especially advantageous to consumers
and encourages the placing Of addi-
! tional;railroad work It: is known
! too, that one Of the railroads which
! have raised funds recently has OBJ
| tained supplies at very low prices, lin:
