some temporary resistance to the de-

by Union Pacific, which was IL over

It could not be learned that there was
any actual calling Of loans on the stock
exchange, but the tone Of the money
market plainly continues to harden and
the prospect Of retrenehed credits was
undoubtedly factor in the liquidation
of stock holdings.
Declines were fairly uniform at be-

Organizations Of Capital and Labor
Stlfe individuality.
New York, March 22.-In an address
before the students of the college Of
the city of New York, w. H. Trues-
dale, president of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Railroad compa-
ny, has described great combinations
Of labor and of capital as soeialistic
declaring that their tendency is to
Bhackle, if not destroy, American in
dividuality to which the country owes
so much. But he deemed himself
fortunate, he said, to have lived in
period during which gigantic strides
had been made in traffic problems.
After describing the development of
the great Industries of the United
States. greatest of which he declared,
Is the railroad business, Mr.. Trues-
del expressed the opinion that the
gain from year to year is due to the
spirit of American freedom. He does
not expect the same prOpOrtionate
mileage to be constructed hereafter
as the cost of terminals will inter
fere, but the Improvements will con-
tinue as rapidly as ever.
He said the great combinations Of
capital are impossible elsewhere, and
1t Is question If they do not stife
individuality. Labor organizations
may be beneficial in way; they have
done good in some cases and they
have done injury in others. When
they stifle ambition, however, they do
harm. Both sorts of combination, he
concluded, are socialistic IN their ten
dency.
