RAILROAD MEN TO DELAY
DEMANDS ON COMPANIES.
Decided at Chicago Session Yesterday
Financial Furry Partly the
Cause,

CHICAGO. Dec. S0.-The executive
committee of the Eastern Association
of General Committees of the Order of
Railway Conductors and the Brother
hood Of Railway Trainmen determined
yesterday to hold in allegiance any de-
mand upon the sixty-iVe railway COM
panies directly interested in the contro-
versy for a 10 per cent. increase in pay.
Tho vote asked that the same rate of
wages and the working conditions
adopted a year ago between the gem
eral Of the Western lines
and the officials of the two railway
employees organizations be in effect
on the Eastern lines, but because of
the financial furry and the condition
of the freight traffic the committee
deemed 1t unwise to carry on negotia-
tions with the general managers of the
railroads affected at this time.

BUSINESS REVIVES
BIG DEMAND FOR LABOR
FOR LAST 10 DAYS.
Powderly, immigration Bureau Head
Says outlook Is Cheerful-Reports
from Country Promising.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. @'ZBusiness
throughout the United States, both COM
mercial and industrial, is reviving. accord
ing to Terence V. Powderly, chief Of the
division of information. Bureau of Immi-
grafton.
The division Of information was created
by Congress as an agency to divert immi-
grafton from the larger cities and find
places for the unemployed alien. The func-
tons of the division have been enlarged,
lnasmuch as Chief Powderly is ~endeavor-
ing to provide work for Americans as well
as aliens.
From July / last until early in October
about 10000 requests were made upon Chief
Powderly to supply various forms of labor
for factory, railroad, farm and industrial
enterprises OF all descriptions.
About the middle of October, when the
financial disturbance became acute. many
of these applicat tons were Cancelled, CORE
~spondents saying that instead of needing
labor they were putting off men and that
everything pointed to a prolonged period
Of depression.
Within the last ten days there has been
a renewal of the demand for labor. Chief
Powderly says that this demand comes
from every part of the country, that 1t
calls for mechanics, mill operatives, fac
tory hands, railroad builders and farm la
borere.
From the agricultural States has come
notice that in the spring hundreds of
thousands of farm hands will be needed
and that every effort should be made by
the government at this time to see to it
that an adequate supply of labor is pro-
vided In the regions where it soon will be
urgently required.
A investigation has developed" said
Mr.. Powderly, chat while the unusually
large exodus of foreigners during the last
few months was the direct result Of dis
turbed financial conditions 1t was not due
to the closing of mills or factories or ces-
sation in the progress of public works. The
great majority of those who returned to
Europe were not turned out of employment.
They were alarmed by the outlook and de-
cided to 60 back. The tide will begin
TO turn early in the spring, and l AVE no
doubt that the increasing demand for labor
that our reports indicate Is at hand will
be fully met by the supply in this country,
augmented by an enlarged volume of i'm
migration. Our reports, coming as they
do from every State and territory in the
Union, are accurate barometers of the ma
tional welfare of the country. They all
point one way-ln the direction of a re-
vival of the marvellous prosperity that
was checked, but not halted, by the ex-
element that prevailed for a time in the

FREIGHT CHIEFS CHANGE.
Western Railway Presidents Decide ON
important Economics.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 9O.-Western rail-
road managers have for the time being
abandoned the purpose of consolidating
the freight associations and the various
passenger associations into two organiza-
ions 1t has been decided, however, to
make many important changes in the
management of the freight organizations
and to introduce many important econo-
mics.
The same rigorous course will be pursued
with respect to the Western passenger
associations, which later may be CONSOLE
dated.
At a conference of Western railway
presidents it was decided to change
the heads of the Western trunk
line committee at Chicago and of the
Southwestern tariff bureau. at st. Louis.

the Western Trunk Line committee for the

CHICAGO STEEL YEAR
A RECORD SMASHER.
Biggest Production in Windy City's
History and Prices Higher
Than Ever Before.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-During the present
week the most remarkable year ever
known in the iron and steel industry IN
this country Will come to an end. The
year brought record production in vail
Gus lines and saw the general Level of
prices higher than ever before. II also
saw the trade plunge from booming ACTIVE
ity to depressing dullness in less than a
month. and dullness rules the market as
the year m to a close.
Few persons in tho trade whose m
sitious give weight to their opinions are
what 1908 will bring. There is. howtver,
a general feeling that the worst o. tho
depression has been reached. il not passed,
and a-general hope that with rapid inn
provement in the financial position there
will be a return to better conditions in
iron and steel.
The past week did not bring much in
the way of new business, but there were
some transactions that are considered I'M
nortant as testing the markets position.
Among them are liberal purchases OF iron
by the big stove manufacturing concerns
in Detroit.
There is more inquiry in nearly all the
rlnced II consumer were convinced -bat
the bottom prices had been reached. The
producing interests hold that there can
not be much low-priceo iron in the
market, considering the very large amount

there is less disposition on the part Of pro

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 3O.-Students of

1t may take several months for the bust

his being so impressed Is that he is now
contemplating a period of depression

which every commodity but gold is apt to
have a serious decline in price.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Dec. s0.-The cotton mar
-ket opened firm at a decline of s points
to an advance Ct 10 points, near months
being relatively easy as a result of heavy
January notices, while later positions
were Influenced by steady cables, smaller
Eastern belt receipts and reports that the
January tenders would be promptly
stopped by a large spot interest. Trading
was quite active and general. and 1t looked
as though the weak January interest had
been pretty well liquidated. for after SELL
ing at 1890 on the call, that position adj
vanced 70 1852 or IS points higher, with
the active months generally showing net
gains of Is to 20 points during the early
morning. There was considerable realizing
at the higher prices, and subsequent huct-
ustions were rather irregular. January
notices were estimated nj 5000 bales.
Prices were off from the best during the
late forenoon. but the undertone seemed
steady aud the market showed a net gain
of 7 to . points at midday. Trading was
quiet after the first half-hour and seemed
to be chiefly local.

When It's Paid, Says Head
of Princeton.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. so-President
Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton, in address
ing the Contemporary and Athenaeum
clubs on Ideals OF Public Life" took oc-
casion to make some vigorous thrusts at
present tendencies.
He referred to the fine Of $40, 10000 900 as
sessed against the Standard Oil Company
by Judge Lands and said that when the
fine was paid W. will be worse off than we
are now. for we did not want that amount
Of money locked up In a treasury where
there is already a surplus, and thus take
ii out of circulation.
1.-THE vast bulk of the business Of this
country" said he, 'is transacted honestly
and fairly. The curse that lies on this
country now is that because one man has
done wrong all men are suspected and be-
cause one corporation has done wrong all
corporations are suspected. I plead for
the protection of the honest men of this
country. 1t is so elementary a principle
that I am amazed that we have forgot
ten it,
He declared there is not "a board OF
railway commissioners in the country with
courage enough to make a rate for one
road and another rate for another road
and asserted that no uniform code Of rates
will give equal profits and privileges to all.
He said further that the only Successful
thing that the law has ever done has been
to define the things that you do not want
