RATE INCREASE
HANGING FIRE
Officials of Roads Entering Salt
Lake Deny knowledge of
Decision to Advance.

Interest in the -talked-of increase
in freight rates is deepening among
Salt Lake business men. Although
there are many rumors that the rail-
roads intend to advance rates in the
fall, no definite information on the sub
ject can be obtained here. Officials of
all the railroads entering Salt Lake
deny that they have been notified that
the advance is contemplated.
In a recent review of the situation,
the Denver Times says: There is gen.
eral tendency among all of the rail-
roads operating in this country to in
crease their freight rates, and the
probabilities are that within the next
ninety days a blanket increase of 10
per cent will be made on all classes
of freight on all roads, if the interstate
commerce commission will permit such
action upon the evidence to be pre-
scented to it.
A letter received at the office of the
Colorado Midland from w. c. Brown,
senior vice president of the New York
Central lines, is authority for the
statement that freight rates will have
to be increased 10 per cent on the Van
derbilt lines or the wages of all en-
ployes will have to be decreased, as the
present rates are insufficient to war
rant present wages
Practically all of the big systems in
the east are considering the 10 per cent
increase, and the Pennsylvania system
has issued a statement that the in
crease must come or the pay of en-
plOyes be reduced.
The Delaware, Lackawanna line, the
Erie and practically all of the large
systems are a unit in demanding the
increase, and with the railroad world
of the east making the demand the
roads west of Chicago and St Louis
cannot do otherwise than fall into line,
so the increase will be general, and
Colorado shippers will be affected along
with shippers of all other states.
1t is proposed by the railroads to
present their case of insufficient rates
to the interstate commerce commission
within the next sixty or ninety days
and seek permission to make the in
crease.
The trans-Missouri freight bureau.
which has been in session for four days
at the Savoy hotel. and which ad-
journed Saturday, did not discuss at
great length the proposed increase in
the body, although it was the general
topic of private discussion. No action
was taken by the body on the matter,
but it is generally understood that the
lines between the Missouri river and
Utah will readily agree to fight for the
increase for rates before the commerce
commission.

FIRST MEETING
OF BRYAN CLUB
Supporters of National Demo-
cratic Ticket Will Organize
Next Monday Evening.
YOUNG MEN ARE IN CHARGE
ACTIVE PART IN FALL CAMPAIGN
is PLANNED.

For the purpose of assisting in carry
ing Utah for Bryan, a permanent or
ganization of the Bryan club of Salt
Lake City will be effected at meet
ing to be held in the knights of Column
bus hall on the third floor of the Jen-
nings block, 81 West First South street,
next Monday evening. The meeting will
be open TO all Bryan supporters.
Preliminary arrangements for the
forming of the organization were COM
pleted yesterday afternoon at meet
ing of the committee on organization
and IA dozen other enthusiastic young
Democrats of Salt Lake. 1t was de-
cided to call a meeting of Bryan men
for next Monday evening, at which
time a constitution and bylaws will be
adopted and officers of the organiza-
ton elected.
The plan to organize the club is
meeting with general approval. Near
ly 100 prominent citizens telephoned or
called on the members of the commit
tee and expressed their approval of the
plan and pledged their support TO the
club. An active participation in the
national campaign in Utah and the CO.
operation with the national committee
and the other Bryan clubs in the state
is planned by the promoters of the new
organization.
The meeting of the committee on or
ganiZation and others was held yester-
day afternoon in the offices of Rawlins
& Ray in the Atlas block. William w.
Ray acted as chairman of the meeting.
He stated the purpose of the meeting
and asked for suggestions from those
present relative to the organization OF
the Climb All were agreed that the club
should be organized as soon as possible.
1t was decided that the first meeting
should be held next Monday evening,
and that a special effort be made 10
insure the attendance of a large num-
Der, and especially of the young men.
If the purpose of the promoters of the
Bryan club are carried out the organ
iZation will take no active part in local
politics, but will confine its work to
! the support of the national ticket in
Utah. There will probably be differ
ences of opinion among the members
relative to the local candidates for
office. but they will be united on the
national ticket. Although the member
! ship of the club will be open to every
Bryan man in Salt Lake county, it is
understood that the younger support
ers of Bryan will be in control of the
club and that it will be essentially q
young mems organization.
The Bryan club may take an active
/ part in the ratification meeting at Salt
air TO be held under the auspices of the
Woman's Democratic club next Thurs
day. Several of the prospective mem
| bers of the club have already assured
the women in charge of the outing thai
they would do all in their power to as
sist in making the affair success

Chicago Aug l3.-The Democratic. ma
tional campaign fund of 1905 will be raised
through appeals made 10 the individual
Democrats Each state. under the direc-
ton OF its national committeeman or a
financial representative designated for the
purpose. will determine its own method

John w. Kern, vice presidential candidate

Colonel Moses c. Wetmore of st. Louis
is chairman. generally agree that between
$780, 900 and 81 100000 will be required TO
finance the legitimate expenses of the
coming presidential struggle. The devils
ing OF adequate methods to provide these
means has occasioned Governor Haskell

committee. and Colonel Wetmore no lit
tie concern. The adoption of the plan
announced TO raise money by states is
believed to be a solution of the problem
State pride the financial committee feels.

Will be made to make contributions as
large as possible
The financial committee, however, will
arrange to enlist monetary aid from all
those who have indicated that they are
ready 10 contribute In a substantial de-
gree. The contributions TO the various
financial representatives in the state Will
be made up of small donations.

Gated with the national committeeman IN
the several states and instructed them
TO proceed Immediately with the collec-
ton of funds. and TO this end have suS-
gested that financial representative be
appointed in each state with assistants III

and means as may he deemed best to OBJ
tain funds In their own particular states.
While no public solicitations have as YET
been made by the national committee. con-
tributions from various sources in no
small amounts are being received daily
