MERGER NOW FACT
Four Great Lines in Republic Are
United.
Their Aggregate Mileage is 6.57S miles
Capital is 230.000.O00 Pesos
Two Lines Remain Independent.

City of Mexico, Feb. 28.-After
many months work, and with
number of Interruptions, negotia-
tions are finally concluded for the
great railroad merger deal. The
last final details were arranged to-
night, and the papers will be sign
ed tomorrow. H. Winterfelt, re-
presenting New York bankers, and
B. w, Palmer of Boston, director
of the Mexican Central, who has
been carrying on negotiations here,
will return to New York tomorrow
night. Parties to the agreement
decline to discuss details tonight.
The railroads which enter the
merger are the Mexican Central,
National of Mexico, the Interna-
tionaI, and the Interoceanic, with
an aggregate mileage of 6,575.
For the management of the
merged system a new Mexican
company will be organized with
capital of 23O, 900, 900 pesos and an
authorized bond issue of Az
600, 900 pesos. The capital of the
new company exceeds the combin-
ed capital of the old companies by
over 10000, 900 pesos, while the
authorized bond issue exceeds that
of the old companies by over 200,-
600, 900 pesos. The full amount
of bonds, however, will not be
issued Immediately. The Govern
ment already owns the Vera Cruz
& Pacific and the Tehuantepec
National Railroads, but these two
lines will not enter the merger,
remaining independent.

TAFT'S INJUNCTIONS.

ask that every responsible
and fair-minded labor leader, ev-
cry responsible and fair-minded
member of a labor organization,
read these (Taft's) injunctions
for himself. If he will do so, in
stead of condemning them he will
heartily approve of them and will
recognize this further astonish-
ing fact that the principles laid
down by Judge Taft In these very
injunctions, which laboring PEG
pie are asked to condemn, are
themselves the very principles
which are now embodied in the
laws or practices of every respon-
sible labor organization. The
principles which he therein so
wisely and fearlessly laid down
serve as a charter Of liberty for
all of us, for wage workers, for
employers, or the general public;
for they rest on the principles of
fair dealing for all, of even-hand-
ed justice for all. They mark
the judge who rendered them as
standing for the rights of the

is from darkness, so far is such

House, but it is principally due to the fact that gubernatorial influence
in the legislative chamber is a matter OF courtesy. The Legislature must
needs listen to advice ron the executive office, but it is discretionary
whether the Legislature shall act upon it. But with what grace will the
men who have been urging the Governor to play the boss and lobbyist here

virtually declared that these are moral and necessary factors in legisla-
