Freieht.handIers Strike.

New York, May 25.-The strike OF
the freight-handlers on the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad still
continues today despite the fact that the
company has secured more than enough
ncn-uniOn freight-handlers to attend to
the docking and Tightening on the piers
here. The officials of the company said
this morning that all boats are arriving
and departing ON time with full cargoes
and passengers and that the freight on
the docks is being handled expeditiously.
The decision of the teamsters association
to remain at work reached last night, has
been a body blow to the hopes of the
strikers, though they still claim they will
be able to win.

vored few,

IN New YORK yesterday President
Baer, of the Reading road and ofthe coal
trust, on the witness stand at the in
quiry of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission into the charge that the coal
roads are violating the antitrust law,
said Like any other good merchant,
l am going to get all the profit | can
out of my business. l shall do nothing,
unless obliged to by circumstances, to
lower the price of coal until the Reading
Coal and Iron Company is earning
50, 600, 600 profit year. That is only
4 per cent. on its capital. Meanwhile,
l propose to sell coal at as high a price
as people will pay for it. You," adj
dressing the counsel of the complainant,
control the price of your legal services
in exactly the same way" Mr. Baer
forgets that if one lawyer holds his SER
vices at too high figure there are Others
who are more modest in their fees, but
people who buy coal and are compelled
have it can get it only through Mr. Baer
and the coal barons. 1t is, therefore,
hoped that circumstances will arise that
will compel the lowering of the price OF
coal.

Northern Securities Company, in New
York, yesterday, appeared as witness
before the Merchant Marine Commission,
the Joint congressional committee which
is investigating the causes OF the decline
Of American shipping, in order to suggest
measures for remedial legislation. lie
said
The first thing necessary is to create
a desire in the people Of this country to
own ships 1t is a purely commercial
question. If there is profit in it peo-
ple will engage in it; if loss 1t IS a
question how long people will stick.
Our conditions on the high seas as ma
tion seem hard to meet. On land, in spite
of high rates of labor, the United States
has been able to work out system with
out an equal. Why we are not able to do
this on the high seas is not clear to
me and as far as have investigated 1t,
I believe that no amount of direct boz
muses. will build itinto life worth living
What the country wants is market
Outside of our agricultural products, cot
ton. grain, oil, there are few things we
can export because the cOstOf production
is so high. We cannot sell them. If we
could carry those products in our own
bottoms it would be a source of great prof.
it. They can build ships in England
much cheaper than here. Citizens OF
other countries have owned ships for
the last 40 years to a greater extent than
we. have had experience in building
two ships.the largest freight carriers In
the woodland / don't want any more.
| would rather undertake to build
/ 900 miles of railway than two ships.
1t has taken four years instead OF
two, through strikes and other delays.
If we are going TO buy merchant ma
rine out of the treasury of the country
it won't last long. We must give people
confidence to invest. | don't think you
will make much of a success of buying
a merchant marine; it won't stay with
you. You must get people interested,
but there does not seem to be much dis
position on the part of the people to go
into shipping. If you will admit
foreign-built ships free, you will get
merchant marine quickly. The ship

asked why we could not get ships to
carry our goods. Senator Hanna said
he would see me in the morning, and he
did. The result was that he opened his
campaign in Ohio on the ship subsidy.
Mr.. Hill suggested as remedy an ex'
port bounty and said such bounty would
amount to between ten and fifteen mil
lion dollars.
1t will readily be seen by the above
that if the ship builders would be con
tent to charge reasonable prices for con
structing ships and if the republicans in
Congress would reduce the tariff on the
material used in shipbuilding, bOunties
and subsidies would not be necessary in
this branch of industry. But this will
not be, for the trusts will insist that the

A Building Boom

Sistersvllle contractors are ex.
pecting to more than duplicate the
extraordinary building boom of
last year again this summer. AL
ready matters are looking up, and
q prosperous winter has put many
In the notion of building. In spite
of the large number of new resi-
dences erected within the past few
months, the demand for houses Is
almost as great now as before they
were built. The demand Is for
good houses of the middle class
that rent from ten to twenty dollars
month. Any number of houses
of that class could be rented with
out the least trouble. That section
known as Mccoy Heights, and
which has been built up within
two years, expect to double Its
population. Already contracts
have been let for several houses.
With It's high and dry location, new
paved streets and electric lights, 1t
Is the ideal residence portion Of the
city. Another section that will be
built up rapidly Is along the street
car line on North Wells street.
Garry Owen gives evidence of an
awakening In the way ii building
On account of the many rIsnafac-
tories down there the workmen and
others interested In the plants want
residences In that section of the
city. The land along South Wells
street will likely be pretty we'll
built up this summer.
