Railroads Are to Cut
Down Their
Expenses
Total Amount to Be Saved
May Reach Sum of
$120,0OO,0
Officials Declare Public Agitation
Is Especially Hostile to Their
interests at the Pres
ent Time

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-The railroads of
the entire country have decided to in
augurate an era of most rigid economy
according to the Record Herald.
The plans which have been decided
will result in a decrease in eXpendi-
lures during the twelve months of be-
tween SSO,OOO,OOO and $120,0O0,000, as
compared with the sums spent during
the year just closing.
The railroad presidents declare they
have been forced into the adoption of
this policy in self defense. The ques-
ton of expenditures has been the topic
of discussion at gatherings of executive
officials at Chicago and in the east for
the last three months.
The subject was again discussed here
today at meeting of the officials when
every railroad represented gave infor-
nation regarding the expenditures
planned for the coming year.
In the aggregate it was found that
along the roads centering in Chicago
the decrease in expenditures would be
fully $6O,OOO,OoO.
The expenditures referred to are
known by railroad managers as lex
tras'' for side tracks, new engine
houses and the betterment of road bed
and track.
The reasons assigned by the railroad
men for this move in economy are in
| creased demands of labor, which will
cost the railroads between $S0,0O0.0 .00C
and $100,o00,000 in excess of .wages4pai6
last year increased cost of all supplies
and materials; scarcity of labor, maxi
ing it almost impossible to secure men
for extension of old lines and the con-
| struction of new; inability to get sup
| plies promptly; the general tendency of
freight rates. which, it is claimed, is
| downward, while the price of every
thing else is increasing; uncertainty re-
garding the effect of the rules of the
interstate commerce commission; in
creased difficulty in securing money to
invest in railway ventures with which
to carry on improvements, and con-
'tinued public agitation which is alleged
to be hostile to corporations and to
railroads especially.

walters in full flight, became panic
stricken in turn and all rushed into the

bruised in the crush.

mum velocity of the gale was fifty
eight miles an hour, but in the outly-
ing districts the wind attained a speed
much greater. On all sides of the city
barns and sheds were unroofed and
many of them blown down.
In parts of South Chicago the gale
blew fences across the street faster
than the police force and firemen could
clear them away.

company at One Hundredth street and
Calumet river was severely damaged

fall of rain. During the greater part
of the afternoon the wind blew at fifty
five miles an hour. but by evening it

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Nov. 21.-
After a warm debate the committee
of the American Federation of Labor
this afternoon referred to the execu-
tiye committee the question of levy
ing an assessment against the feder-
alton i'm favor of the striking struc-
tural iron workers of the country.
Frank M. Ryan of the Structural
Iron workers said 5000 of his men We're
out of work at present and that their
ranks were being added to. He said
most of the men had been on strike
for sixteen months and that there
was urgent need for funds to carry
on the fight asking for an assessment
of four cents from each member of all
bodies affiliated with the national
federation.
1t soon developed that some inter-
national unions would be unable to
bear increased burdens. James M.
Lynch. speaking for the International
Typographical union, said his organi-
zation was paying out $S1, 900 a week
in strike benefits and he did not see
how his members could bear any fur
ther burden.
BY an almost unanimous vote the
matter was referred to the executive
act on other applications for aid, 1t
Is more than likely that no financial
help can be extended.
The fight of the plumbers and steam
filters was settled by the convention
favoring shorter day for the steam
filters.
The convention sent a cable dispatch

asking him to look into the condition
of the workingmen of that island.
