TOO lhe raise IN wages was result
of the unwarranted boost of dividends Railroad fnaners did
declare dividends the business handled but what the business
would have been if they had been able to handle it
The wage naturally seeing this supposed evidence of pros
pey, demanded their share of it. Mr.. Gomper Civic fedora
ton meeting New York last winter gave warning capital that
wages will down; that labor will stand told him
the time that he foolish that he couldn't tell what would hap
pen in the future In the past perhaps wages have suffered
before capital, and that wrong. THE PROCESS MAY BE
REVERSED THIS TIME
BUT F THE PRESENT SITUATION OF THE RAILROADS
TAKEN IN HAND IN A BUSINESS WAY, F WE QUIT TALKING
ABOUT POLITICS HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. EVERY.
THING WILL COME RIGHT IN REASONABLE TIME.
THERE WILL BE SOME SUFFERING, BUT BY BOTH ELEMENTS
EQUALLY WE CAN'T EXPECT RECOVER FROM THE BIG
DRUNK WE HAVE HAD WITHOUT A HEADACHE F THE WATER
IS TAKEN FROM STOCKS AND DIVIDENDS ARE REDUCED
LEGITIMATE FIGURE, FARMERS OBJECT TO
BEARING THEIR PART OF THE EXPENSE OF REHABILITATION.
THEY ARE MEN OF SENSE, AND HAVE NEVER FOUND ANY
DIFFICULTY IN DEALING WITH THEM ON AN HONEST Basis

adopted generally principally because the labor people do believe

bridges across the Michigan Central

All the bridges in the line OF the tun-
mel have been strengthened, and there
is probability that the Michigan Cen
trail will rebuild the Fort-st. bridge.

room.
Il have inspected the bridges and
believe them TO be safe now, although
much has had TO be DONE" says City
Engineer X. III. Mccormick. The tun-
mel work has caused the retaining
walls OF the bridges at Fort, Howard
and Twelfth-sts. TO sink somewhat but
they have been built up and repaired.
New supports have been put In In
some places
"As soon as the Howard.st. bridge
is refoored, II will be opened TO the
public and the Twelfth-st bridge will
be closed That structure will then
receive a thorough overhauling and
new floor. Then, I understand, The
Fort-st. bridge will be the next TO be
rebuilt. The railroad has sole charge
of that bridge except the planking.
THE iron work OF the Twelfth-st.
bridge has been injured by the gases
from the engine smoke"
Funds for the city's portion OF the
bridge work were recently allowed BY
the board OF estimates and will be
available July /.
