way company, who has returned from
st. Paul, expressed the conviction that
the tide of prosperity Is turning and
that there are indications of sig
nificant recession in business. AS Mr.
Hill phrased it "the sails of prosperity
are being reefed. The year 1908 may
be hard year and many thousands of
men may then be out of work.
General policies of retrenchment
are under way Mr.. Hill continued
LESS money is to be spent on new
works. The effect of this movement
Is being felt at present in the falling

movement is very evident In Chicago
While would scarcely call it re-
cession in business it is more of a
drawing in. The railroads in general
are curtailing their expenses and
placing fewer orders. On cur lines
we will finish the work we have under
way and that is all.
This movement toward economy IS
scarcely perceptible, but 1t should be
sufficient to relieve the strain from
Congested business. In way it is a
good thing. 1t is better SO as the cur
taflment is gradual. Otherwise there
might be sudden slunp with seri-
'ous results.
''The first tendency is toward the
ourtailment OF luxuries. Then there
Will be a falling off ia the amount of

tinue during the coming months. But
so far as concerns the future the year

struck the north jetty while trying to
enter the new waterway at the Hook
OF Holland She broke in two, the
forward part Immediately sinking,
while the passengers and crew gath
erred on the stern, where they vainly
attempted to use the lifeboats.
The only person who succeeded in
reaching the shore is Captain Parkes-

wind and was driven ashore.
Lifeboats Helpless in High Sea.
The alarm was given and lifeboats
from the shore went to the assistance
of the stricken steamer but the seas
were so heavy that the boats were un-
able to approach the Berlin close
enough to take off any of the passen-
gers or crew and the lifeboat men had
to sit helpless while the steamer
pounded. until she broke in two and
every soul on board was carried down.
The steamer apparently struck about
amidships, as her forepart broke off
and sank Immediately, while her after
part could be seen for considerable
period Of time afterwards.
The waterway in which the disaster
occurred Is a new one, on the north
side of which is the pier and railroad

, While this attack came directly from
a few legislators, it would be unfair to
saddle all the responsibility off on any
two or three individual members. The
attempt to cast discredlt upon the

largest sense, is simply an expression
of the railroad attitude toward this
organization. It is q combine attack.
