SPENCER
ADDRESSES MEETING
He Delivers a Strong Speech
On Railroad Question.
COURTS STOPPED THE REBATES
The Head of the Southern Railway
Declares that Railroads Will Help
Government in Correcting Abuses
and Unjust Determinations

Atlanta, May 1.-THE second days
session Of the National Manufacturers
association convention opened here
with nearly every delegate in his seat.
The Grand opera house was well filed
with interested spectators. The con
Vention is hard at work and many in
terestins papers have been read on
topics that vitality interest both capt
tai and labor.
President Samuel spencer, of the
Southern Railway, delivered one of Tne
most notable addresses heard before
the national manufacturers conven-
ton.
Mr.. Spencer spoke for the transpor-
tation interests in oposition to the at
tempt to have the governments go into
the rate-making business. He argued
that if the governmenc commits itself
to the policy of fixing the price at
which railroads shall sell their trans
portation, it may soon attempt to fix
the selling price for the products of
manufactures.
MI. Spencer presented the railroad
side of the case in a very clear cut
manner. He declared emphatically
that the railways will cooperate heart.
lily with the government In correcting
abuses and unjust determinations AS
matter of fact, the courts have al
ready practically stopped the giving
OF secret rebates by the roads. This
is an evil which has had a very seri-
Gus effect on some lines of business In
the north and west, but speaking gen
orally, the railways in the south have
not been guilty of giving rebates for
a number Of years.
In suggesting desirable legislation
by congress, Mr.. Spencer said:
'"The remedy lies in an intelligent
and thorough recognition of the ben
fits to be derived from large corporate
instead of small individual activity;
it lies in throwing the searchlight of
pubic knowledge ana public scrutiny
upon all corporate action and methods
which can, by illegal abuses and dis
ordinations, infliet injury and injus-
tic upon others Of equaI rights; it lies
IN wise and judicious laws in respect
to the formation of corporations, tn
amount and character OF their capital
ization and the scope of their corpor-
ate powers, and in a system of govern
mental supervision and Inspection
which can successfully detect and
punished all infractions Of the law.
1T lies not in the restriction of the
earning power of the profits of corpor
ations thus formed or thus supervised.
The profits of corporations, legitimate
ly organized, and legally and honestly
conducted, should be no more restrict
ed by governmental action than the
profits of the individual engaged in
similar pursuits"

France Made No Break.

Queenstown, May 17.-Vice Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, commanding
the channel fleet, in an interview here
yesterday on the arrival of the White
Star line steamer Oceanic from New
York, May 10, said he felt France had
taken care that there should be no
breach of neutrality In the Far East
with her consent. Possibly, he said,
the Russians, like others, might use
French waters to repair accidents and
remain there until turned out.

SAILORS BEATEN BY UNIoNIsTs
Longshoremen Object to Them Un-
loading Ship Durinq Strike.

Tacoma, Wash, May IA desper-
ate battle has occurred on the decks of
the steamer Centennial in which sever
al men were slightly injured and three
are thought to have been drowned.
The Centennial, from San Francisco,
via Seattle, brought from the latter
port gang Of Is men to work the
ships cargo here. Owing to existing
trouble between the sailors union and
the lOngshoremens union, Captain
Pierce had been threatened with a
boycott by the sailors If he employed
Tacoma longshoremen and hence had
hired a crew at Seattle.
When the steamer arrived in port
about 200 longshoremen boarded her
armed with clubs, billies, pistols and
other weapons. The Seattle men were
beaten wherever found and some so
shots were fired before order was re-
stored
