LIMIT FOR HIGH WAGES.
Western Railroads Declare They
Will Resist Future Demands.


Will Resist Future Demands.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, October 12.-Western
railroads have decided that the limit for
high wages has been reached, and all
demands made in the future, for several
months at least, will be resisted even to
the extent Of going through a fight to a
finish.
For several months the labor situation
in the west has been giving the railroads
a large amount Of uneasiness, and the
matter has come up for discussion q num-
Der of times In the meetings of the execu-
tive committees Of the General Managers
Association. The last discussion yester-
day was on the demands Of the Switch
mems Union and the imminent danger OF
a strike. It was at this meeting that the
decision was reached to fight all future
demands made.
The unanimous sentiment Is that the
limit has been reached and that no more
increases in pay can be granted with
safety. From the general managers point
Of view the labor organizations have be-
come unreasonable on account of the ap-
parent ease with which they gained in
creased wages during the last few years,
and this Is bringing on unreasonable de-
mands in several quarters. It seems GER
tain from the general attitude Of the gen.
eral managers that no labor organizations
need expect an increase of wages until
the cost Of materials and railway opera
ton ceases to advance.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 12-There is, as
yet nothing In the situation to offer much
hope for an Improvement In the stock
market, aside from moderate rallies on
short covering. according to opinions ex-
pressed this morning by some of the lead
ing interests. 1t is pointed out that there
no longer exists any doubt that hquida-
ton has broken out anew on a consider
able scale. and in such a case no one is
competent to judge how long it will last.
Notwithstanding the fact that yesterdays
decline brought the general average of
prices down to the lowest of the year.
there was induced no buying OF much
significance. For one reason or another
the larger financial interests are still dis
posed to hold aloof from the market
The prospect of fairly good bank
statement today, it is believed, may re-
suit In some short covering and a conse-
quent moderate rally in prices. 1t is
seriously doubted. however, if any up
ward movement which may take place in
the immediate future will be sustained
for any length of time. The break in
prices which has taken place in the in
active industrial stocks has been followed
by calls for more margins by the banks
holding sucl. as collateral for loans, and
failure to respond by the borrowers has
resulted in the closing out of many of
these loans and forcing the collateral On
the market, which is held to account for
some of the recent heavy declines in in
active industriaIs.
There is a good deal of apprehension
over the prospect of an investigation of
the Consolidated Gas Company by the
public service commission, and specula-
tive interests contend that II such is
made revelations of very unpleasant
character will be brought out. 1t is cur
rent gossip among the trading element
that certain transactions in connection
with the building of the Astoria plant Of
the Consolidated Gas Company would be
difficult to explain in satisfactory man
ner.
These lay much stress upon the disclos-
ures made in the local traction investiga-
ton this week, naming them as one of the
chief causes for the renewed upset of con-
fidence. and they predict that a further
investigation of public utility concerns
will only bring out more matter Of de-
rogatory cha acter.

while a large number OF very severe de-
clInes we're scored. there was always

this morning in the publication OF San
Francisco dispatch reporting that the head
OF the system had directed the adoption OF

were conducted upon very large scale,
but there was little or nothing of novelty
to be cited in connection with the course
Of the general market or any particular

Including guesswork and conjecture as to
the sources from which came the tremen-
dous volume of liquidation which poured
into the market.
The London stock market was also oe-

again sold freely In the local dealings.

cities where the young man has intro

for most disease. To quote his own
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: The average
man or woman cannot be sick If the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases Of virulent
nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis,
diabetes, etc. which are organic, and
are not traceable to the stomach. but
even fevers can, in nine cases out OF
ten, be traced to something taken into
the stomach. All Of this half sick,

one of the largest in this section of the

been pastor of the church here for a
little over five years, and the church
has had a marvellous growth.
AT the same time the Rev. w. s.
Crozier, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church, notified his congrega-
ton that he would leave in few
weeks for another pastorate. He has
two or three places in view, but has
not yet decided where he will go. Rev.
c. p. Smith, pastor of the Main
Street Christian church preached his
farewell sermon Sunday. He goes to
Kansas City to engage in literary
work. The Congregational church is
without pastor. Its committee has
been raking the country with a fine
toothed comb for a suitable successor
to Rev. A. H. Jordan. The latest can
didate is the pastor Of the church at
Reinbeck.

Meeting link with their twin city main

Shortly after dark heavy cross tie
had been placed across the track at

This train did not stop at Dickens
