ages of Winter Months-Ameri-

Agents Already Gathering Their
Forces in Chicago.

Chicago, March 31.-In the next 80
days the railroads of the United States
will have to find between $50, 900 and
800, 900 men to mend their tracks and
roadbeds and another large army to go
into their shops and repair their cars
and their locomotives.
The railroads centering in Chicago
alone will, between April and June l,
require more than 100000 laborers,
who will be employed in remedying the
ravages Of the winter months, which,
with their frosts and their SHOWS, have
made many miles Of shaky track and as
many more of softened roadbed.
The past winter has not been as hard
as the season usually is on road bed and
track, and physical conditions are not
as bad as usual for the further reason
that the traffic has not been go heavy.
No renewal work, however, ia being
done this winter, and after the frost
comes out of the ground in the spring
there is bound to be settling of the
roadbed, sagglng of bridges and score
of things which go to prevent efficiency
OF operation.
In the employment Of labor the rail-
roads seek to procure Americans when
they can get them at the price which is
offered for labor. As rule, however,
the railroads are glad to get men wher-
ever it is possible, the only stipulation
with the labor employing agencies be-
ing that the men shall be competent to
do the work for which they are en-

Gale Doesn't Like Job.

Washington, March 31.-The Hon.
orable Thomas Gale, delegate in con-
gress from the territory of Alaska, has
the happy faculty of knowing when he
has had enough. Two years in congress
is all he can stand. The job is not to
his liking and he intends to quit. He
is not candidate for reelection, and
has so stated in plain terms. Mr.. Gale
has made the discovery that has been
made by hundreds of men before him,
but discovery which few will discuss;
that member of congress ism t such an
awful big fellow, after all. He is big
to his people at ho ne. but when he
comes to Washington he is pigmy
one of many. The job seldom measures
up to expectations, and Mr.. Gale is one
of the few who is frank enough to voice
his disappointment and get out.

JUDGE SAYS HE CAN DECIDE
Thinks He Has Right to Say Whether
Rates Are Just.

Knasas City, Mo-, April Judge
Smith Mcpherson, in the Federal court
here today, decided that he has full
Jurisdiction over both the maximum
freight and the 2.cent passenger rate
cases, in Missouri. In other words, he
holds in favor of the railroads and
against the state on the question on
jurisdiction.
Last year the legislature passed the
2-cent law, and a minimum freight law
reducing existing freight rates about %
per cent. All of the main line rail-
roads in Missouri joined in an applica-
tion for an injunction last June from
the Federal court at Kansas City to
prevent the state officials from enforc-
ing the law. Meantime truce was ar
ranged between the railroads and the
attorney general, under which the roads
were to pnt the 2.cent law in force.
The railroads agreed to give the 2
cent law a test for three months, and
asked Judge Mcpherson to give them
that much time to see how the law
would affect their revenues. For seven
months the railroads have sold tickets
at cents. Now comes the court with
a decision holding that in enjoining the
state officers. he is not enjoining the
state itself; that he has perfect right
to 20 into the question Of whether the
rates fixed by the statutes are remuner-
ative

mission on Currency System.

New York, April 3.-None Of the
currency legislation now before con-
gress, with the exception of the Lover
ing bill, which provides for the ap-
pontment of commission to investi-
gate the currency and banking systems
of the United States, will have the ap-
proval of the New York chamber of
commerce. This was the decision to-
day when the chamber adopted the re-
port of it's special committee to investi-
gate and report upon pending legisla-
ton. 1t is the belief of the committee
that there is little chance Of any cur
rency legislation being enacted at the
present session of congress.
The committees rep >rt recommends
the enactment OF law providing for
the appointment of a commission to in
vestigate the currency and banking sys-
TENS of the United States and other
leading commercial nations and to re-
port such measure "as may be found
necessary to place our currency and
banking system on sound basis, which
is absolutely essential fer the perma-
nent welfare and progress Of the coun-
try."
