in Wall street.
"It Is mighty hard for the men in our
territory he said. ito understand the
news that comes to them from the East
of business recessions and approaching
hard times. All the country hat I travelled
over is brimful of prosperity, and it looks
as IL the whole stetch from Chicago to
Mexico is in for anolher year Of record
breaking business.
THE apprehension about the crops, for
which there was foundation in planting
season. when the late spring and heavy
rains made replanting necessary, has en-
tirely passed away, and the crop outlook
is now splendid"

MEN

CONFERENCE
of Pennsylvania,
Central and Other Roads
Discuss Grievances.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Representa-
tives of upward of 1900 organized rail-
road workers employed on the great
railroads of the Eastern half of the
country have been in secret session
for ten days or more at Cambridge
Springs, Pa, discussing various plans
for obtaining a readjustment OF the
wage schedules under which they have
been working.
Those represented at the meetings at
various times have been the conduit
tors, fremen, brakemen, yardmen.

was not represented.
The roads involved in the present
agitation are the Pennsylvania, the
New York Central and allied lines, the
New York. New Haven and Hartford,
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
the Lake Erie and Western. the Buffa-
10, Rochester and Pittsburg, the Della
ware and Hudson, the Baltimore and
Ohio, the Boston and Albany and the
Chesapeake and Ohio.
Many of the grievances are local,
and, 1t is believed. are capable of easy
adjustment. Strike talk or radical
measures of any sort have been fur

sented.

men a not obtained any increase
in wages as the result of the confer
ences held here last year.
The grievances of the conductors are
that many of them are still compelled
to work twelve hours a day, when a
ten-hour day was promised. The
switchmen and other railroad workers
declare that a substantial increase
ought to be granted to them in view of
the great increase in the cost of living.
Great surprise was expressed by
railroad officials in this city yesterday
when they learned that another de-
mand was to be presented to them for
more wages. Several officers said they
were not in a position to comment on
the matter, except that coming so
after the settlement of last win
ter, when the wages of employees on
more than eighty railroads in the
United States were increased, adding
to the pay of nearly 400, 900 men nearly
$50, 900, 900, 1T was unlikely that public
opinion, which forced the last increase,
would support this latest demand.

OF HARTMAN :
LIMITED AT
Bonaparte VIII Begin Crimi-
nal Proceedings Against
His Railroad System.

LENOx, Mass, Aug. S-Criminal
PROSECUTIONS will be undertaken in the
near future as a result of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission investiga-
ton of the Hartman railroad system.
This was the information obtained here
upon authority late yesterday. on the
eve of the return of Acknowledgement
Bonaparte to Washington. He has been
making a vacation stay here of several
weeks, and talked freely concerning the
important problems tbs his depart
ment has on it's hands.
Mr.. Bonaparte was asked if action
personally against Mr.. Hartman
would be included in the prosecutions.
He replied somewhat systematically:
II have noticed a good many com-
plants that criminal prosecutions
against trust magnates and sentences of
Imprisonment for them nave been very
infreduent. and. in fact. for practical pur-
poses. unknown. It is perfectly true that.
my opinion at least, a better moral
effect would be produced by sending a few
prominent men TO jail than by a great deal
Of litigation. however successful, against
the corporations they controlled.
But 1t must be remembered that 1t Is
only successful prosecutions which would
have n good effect. Some time since two
corporations and their respective presi-
dents were indicted jointly for a violation
of the law. 1t would b. hard for the lay
mind. at least. to understand how their
presidents could be innocent. Nevertheless
the Jury convicted the corporations and
acquitted the presidents.
1T is the avowed purpose of the De-
partment of Justice TO prosecute Grim
inallv any one who is really responsible
for violation of the antitrust law
wherever 1t can do so with any reasonable
probability of success. 1t does not care
to prosecute mere underlings, who are
known to every one to have acted under
the direct authority of their superiors.
But If 1t can~get a case against any of

advantage of the opportunity as soon as
It is presented.
"Inasmuch, however, as its only duty Is
to enforce the law. the department does
not propose to institute any proceedings
in which it does not hope to bring the
guilty ones to Justice.
II can only say that the department
will impartially and ~infexibly press all
such prosecutions where the evidence JUS

PROTEST SUSTAINED
APPRAISERS DECISION WAS
UNLAWFUL.
Board No. 2 Advanced Valuation on

NEW YORK. Aug. S.-A decision

2 for having made an arbitrary n
unlawful finding.
The goods over which the controversy
arose were exported from France by
the branch of the Havilands at Limoges
and imported, here by the American
house.
The case has aroused great interest
among Importers, and 1t was made the
subject of representations by the
French Ambassador 1t also was made
text for a memorial from many OF the
largest wholesale companies In TINS
country to Secretary Cortelyou relating
to the methods pursued In arriving at
the values of goods brought TO n
United States.

many. This agreement provides that
market values as estimated by general
appraisers hall mean the export prices
whenever goods are sold wholly for ~
port or sold in the home market In
limited quantities. 1t was commended
that this agreement was In conhlct
with certain decisions of the United
States Supreme Court. and that 1t ex-
tended to Germany privileges unwar-
ranted by law. The importers argued
that this particular provision applied
not only to Germany, but to all coun-
tries, and this contention is upheld by
Messrs. Hay and Somerville's opinions
AS a result of criticism on the part
of trades organizations in regard to the
recently negotiated German trade
agreement, the Treasury Department
1t is learned here, has made plans for
sending a commission. to Europe to
export and other conditions as
they affect foreign merchandise ship

The commission will be composed OF
James B. Reynolds. Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury; Marion De Vries, pres
ident of the Board of United States
General Appraisers, and Judge Byron
S. Waite, also of the Customs Depart
ment. According to present plans, they
will leave New York on September 10.

THE corroN MARKEr

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance Of IA to 20
points on active covering by local shorts
and fresh bull support attracted by the
higher cables and continued dry, hot
weather in the Western belt, which was
accompanied by many private reports of
damage. At the advance recent buyers
took profits freely and after the first
batch Of covering orders was executed the
market eased off under realizing and a
decline In the English market. The market
was about $ to 10 points net higher dur
ing the middle of the morning, with senti-
ment rather nervou over the condition
In the Southwest, for which continued
clear weather was predicted.
The reaction due to realizing after the
early advance carried prices back to within
6aS points of last nights finals, but later
in the morning the market was steadier
and at midday was I0H13 points net higher
on covering and continued drouth reports
from the Southwest.
