negotiations were begun two months ago for an
increase Of IL per cent in wages and work.
day Of nine hours. The conference to-day be-
tween the representatives OF the men and the
railroad officials lasted four hours. but was a
failure in bringing about a solution Of the
trouble.
The railroads offered the men increases Of
per cent to passenger conductors and 10 per
cent to brakemen, firemen baggagemen and al
He'd workers. When the railroad officers declared
their offer was the best that could be made the
conference came TO an end. as the men. by
referendum vote taken last week had decided
not to accept anything less than their original
demands
Immediately after the joint conference broke
up the representatives OF the trainmen met to
consider the advisability of calling a strike to
bring the railroads to terms. Just what decision
was reached is not known tonight. as the union
men declined to discuss what had taken place at
the meeting.
Arbitration under the Erdmann act will be
asked for by the railroads If the plans of the
general managers. as announced tonight. do
not miscarry. AS a strike of the men would
interfere with interstate commerce. railroad Of
heers believe that they can prevent a strike by
asking the government to step in and take COM
mand Of the situation The Erdmann act
passed in 1898. provides for the arbitration OF
labor difficulties. where Interstate commerce is
involved by the chairman CT the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Commissioner Of
Corporations.

banks" the writer says. had loaned huge sum
TO one OF the American magnates. the security
being mainly Union Pacifics. The bank decided
this loan should be repaid. but on meeting with
refusal. It resolved 10 liquidate the security by
selling the Union Pacific shares in its posses
sion. An attempt to get lid of them in large
blocks on the other side of the Atlantic by pri-
vate negotiation failed. and consequently very
large quantity was put upon the market These
knowing these circumstances formed the natural
conclusion that trouble would ensue. and sold
other securities.
THE resultant fall in prices and the all-round
collapse caused many difficulties among Stock
Exchange firms. including one of the highest
standing. In this case. however. the account
was taken over by big Anglo-Amerlcan house

How about the conference at the White

President would issue a statement on the rail-

Tell us all about the Presidents acquiescence

was obliged to repeat the denial great many
times during the day.

The outcome of Ely City as a rail-

admit of no doubt. 1t is merely a
matter of time. and short time at
that The day will come about when
hundreds of cars of ore will roll in
here every month from all over Ne

means there will be mining COM
pany offices and clerical forces here
to take care of the business of the
outside companies. 1t means that we
will become the principal trading
point and the headquarters for these
companies and that many of their Of
ficers will have their homes here and
be a part of the citizenship. All this
is getting closer every day. 1t means

as rapidly as conditions permit
There is some difficulty about tran
sportation and some about exchange
but these matters in little while
will regulate themselves.
Another indication of returning
health is the decline in value of seats
in the Stock Exchange. In the midst
of the wild speculation and the des-
perate effort to maintain at flood
tide the prices of constantly increas-
ing issue of stocks and bonds, the
Spectators were looked to to do their
share, and they did it. The result
was that seats on the Stock Exchange
went to $4,000. The last sale was
$4,000, coming close to decline of
one-half. This about measures the
decline in speculative business.
Stocks are still bought and sold,
but they are bought and sold by men
who are. willing to pay for them. The
present prices of good per cent.
stocks are attractive and investors
are buying them in large and small
lots, but they have taken them out
of the speculative market and put
them away.
The country is industrially in as
sound condition as it ever was. It's
production is phenomenal. The mar
vel is that under the financial strin-
gency so little effort has been manifest
throughout the country. The pur-
chasing power of the people has. not
been largely interferred with, though
the credit of the country has been cur
tailed. Now that the financial storm
is passing, the benefits will soon be
manifest in every department of
nsiness.-Louisville Post.

SIGNS OF BETTER THINGS

1t appears that new movement
is manifest and that we are to have a
winter exodus of aliens. Every YES
sci, it is said, sailing for the Mediter-
ranean ports during the past two
weeks has carried third class pas
sengers to its full capacity. 1t is
estimated that the increase this year
will reach probably 100000 third
class passengers from the United
States and Canada.
This will do something to relieve
the labor market. 1t is not alto
gether an unhealthy indication.
During the past few years we had
immigration amounting to over a mil
lion a year, rather more than this
country is capable of assimilating,
though as long as we could find work
for them to do and they were willing
to do it at fair wages the country
got the benefit.
We are not only exporting labor
ers we are exporting the products of
labor, mill products and farm staples
supplying us with needed credits
abroad. With this relief, and with
the consequent imports of gold, there
seems to be no doubt that in a short
time business will resume its normal
channels.
Wheat and cotton especially are
going out in large quantities, moving
