| Talk LASTS Three Months.
| The subject of expenditures has been
the sole topic of discussion at executive
officials gatherings in Chicago and in
the east for the last three months. The
subject was again discussed yesterday
at general informal luncheon at one
of the down town clubs. at which every
railroad represented gave information
regarding the expenditures planned for
the coming year. In the aggregate it
was found that among the roads hav-
| ing headquarters in Chicago the de
crease in expenditures would be fully
! 500 900 900. The expenditures referred
to are what are known among railway
Imanagements as extra" or ''eXtraOr-
dinary." and are for extension of lines.
| building of spurs, side tracks, new en-
| gine houses, better and more facilities
| and betterment of road bed and track.
/ One official stated that while the eX-
| ira expenditures for 1906 had aggre-
gated $16.00O,0OO on his road, the bud
| get for similar expenses for next year
would not exceed $1,OOO.OOO. What ef-
feet the withdrawal OF such a vast sum
of money will have on the industries,
on labor and on the business of the
country is prOblematical.
The reasons assigned by railroad men
! for their decision in favor of eXtraoT-
binary economy are the following:
Increased demands of labor, which
will require a 10 per cent general in
crease costing the roads between $780,
O0O. 900 and 100000 900 in excess of
the wages paid last year.
Increased cost of all supplies and ma
terials entering into railroad construc-
ton and maintenance varying from 50
to 75 per cent
Labor Scarce.
Scarcity of labor. making it almost
Impossible to secure men for extension
of old lines and the construction of
new. railroa dlabor shortage in the
country west of Chicago being esti-
mated at between 10000 and $4,000
men.
Inability to get supplies promptly and
the uncertainty of being able to use
them when procured.
The general tendency of freight rates
which. it is claimed, is downward, while
the price of everything else is increas-
ing.
Uncertainty regarding the effect of
the rules of the interstate commerce
commission which, railroad men say
may result in good to them or may re
suit in great harm.
Increasing difficulty in securing mon
ey to invest in railway ventures, and
with which to carry on improvements,
difficulty which has become alarm
ingly real during the last l 2mOnths.
Continued public agitation which is
alleged to be hostile 10 corporations
and to railroads especially.

Centraiia Is built over coal basin, and

This Is the chronic trouble, from which
the town has suffered more or less, al

as other mining towns have. The no

just al present Centralia is more dis
