The average consumer of baking

FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

~ Making railroad rates is like play
ing game OF checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sible move is studied for its effect
on the general result by skilled traf-
fic managers. A false move in the
making of freight rates may mean the
ruin OF a city, of q great manufacture
ing interest. of an agricultural COM
munity Railroads strive to build up
ali these SO that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competi-
tion OF business So sensitive to this
rivalry are the railroads that in order
to build up business along their lines
they frequently allow the shipper %
practically dictate rates. Rate max
ing has been matter of development;
OF mutual concessions for mutual
benefit That is why the railroads of
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates SO much lower in
this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated rail-
ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest Transports
ton rates in the world.

Chicago Employers to Fight II 0li With
unionIsri.
ALL 10 HOPE FOR PEACE GONE,
Spread Strike to Lumber District
Bodies TroubIe-RuiIding Unions to
be Involved Within a Few Days
To Fight 1t Out.


Chicago, May 25.-All prospects of
peace in the teamsters' strike have
disappeared and it will be open war
from this time on. The last confer.
ence looking toward a peaceable ad-
justment was held at 6 O'Clock last
night, between James B. Barry bust
ness agent of the Express Drivers
union, and the local managers of the
seven express companies.
The conference had been set for an
early hour in the afternoon, but, ow-
ing to the failure of Mr.. Barry to
receive proper notice it was postpon-
ed until last evening. When the
meeting finally took place the CONVEX
sation was brief and pointed. Bust
ness Agent Barry opened the nego-
tiations by saying:
- Our position is this: ! want all
the men reinstated except those who
have been guilty of violence. L can
not do anything different. That is
what the local union wants, and that
is what the local officers have told
me to demand That is all | can do.
The men told me that all want to
90 back in body, or they won't go
back at all That is the position of
the union and the union officials. .
The reply of the representatives of
the express ompanies was brief. 1t
was:
Our opposition to the reinstate
ment of the men will be the same
four years from now as it is today
We will not take them back under
any circumstances. -
This brought the conference to q
close and all parties concerned in. it
Immediately left the city hall.
The spread of the strike today was
not as great as was anticipated it be-
ing understood in many quarters that
there was still a possibility of peace
being reached. Four hundred and
siXty-two drivers employed by twenty
eight firms belonging to the Lumber
mems Association, went out today. In
each case, the men were ordered to
make deliveries to boycotted houses
and the usual strike followed, Other
firms to the number of fifty-two be
ionging to the Lumbermen's exchange
will make similar requests of their
men tomorrow and by night it is ex-
pected that the full number of 1000
drivers employed by these lumber
concerns will be on strike.
A meeting of the United Employ
ers' Association of Wood Industries
which is composed of five associa
tons, embracing 1855 firms, owning
lumber yards. planning mills. sash and
door factories, etc, was held today
and it was decided to call upon theiI
drivers to make deliveries. This will
force out 1900 additional men.
Edward Hines, president of the
Association of Wood Industries. said
that the members of the organization
proposed to stand together, and when
asked if peace was in sight. said:
r.Peace. ! am not looking for
peace I am in this thing now to
fight it out. We may just as well
have it over. once for all The EN-
ployers' Association of Wood Indus
tries, is affiliated with the Chicago
Employers Association, which has
been fighting the strike thus far. and
of course, we will work in conjunc
ton with them.
