Is Illinois Central in Big Merger?

The Chicago-R Record Herald of
last, Monday contained a long article
relative to a great railway merger,
which, if true, is of more than ordi-
nary importance to the people of
Delaware county.
According to the Record Herald
the greatest railway merger in ma
tion's history has been agreed upon.
1t is asserted that Edward II.
Hartman, the dictator Of the Union
Pacific, has secured enough Illinois
Central stock to make him supreme
in that company, and that the inter
ests friendly to him now own con-
trolling interestin the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Illinois Central,
Chicago e. Alton and Kansas City
Southern. No railway system il
this county has a mileage equal t.
this Hartman group, which exceeds
$4,000 miles.
Hartman is a railway wizard anc
would quite likely reduce the oper
ating expenses Of the several roads
which he is trying to merge into one
system. But how will the merger
effect the interests of the general
public?

"There were other items Of loss that
raised the total figures much over
S1Oo,O00,000 for the strike. 1t lasted
little over twenty-six weeks"
President Mitchell estimated that
four people are dependent on every
miner. On this estimate national
strike such as is planned will affect
over 100000 people dependent on the
mining industry for their daily bread.
The dollar assessment would raise APP
proximately s2,50O,O0O national treas.
ury funds by April l. This organiza
tion now has in cash in its national dis.
trict, sub-district and local treasures
$2,619, 13l.42. The two funds on April
will probably place $5.OO0,OOO cash
available for strike purposes.

MEMORIAL FOR THE KING
Service Held Over the Body of Chris.
tian IX-Queen Alexandra Ar
rives at Copenhagen.

Copenhagen, Feb. s.. There was an
impressive memorial service over the
body of King Christian in the Garden
room of the palace. All the members
of the royal family We're present, but
otherwise the ceremony was strictly
private. A representative of the As
sociated Press has been permitted to
visit the Garden" room. A striking
feature of the lying in state of the
monarch is its extreme simplicity AMI
the abundant evidence Of the loving
reverence Of the members of the royal
family.
On the coffin is the brass helmet
with its plume and the crossed sword
and scabbard worn by King Christian
when he was the captain of the Dan
ish horse guards. The entire absence
of black from the Garden room is
noteworthy.
Queen Alexandra has arrived here.
She was met ut the station by King
Frederick and members of the royal
family and the staff of the British
legation. A large crowd saluted the
queen as the royal carriages left the
station for the palace.
