TO CURE A CROUCH.
Purpose of the Railway Business AssO-
citation Set Forth.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-The Railway
Business association, which was or
ganized at New York September 80,
by the representative of over 100 con-
Germs engaged in the manufacture of
railway supplies and equipment, has
undertaken to cure what it terms 1.-The
national crouch against the railroads"
In a circular letter issued for the
purpose of attracting new members to
share in the work the association says
in part:
in some states. animosity against the
railroads has been spreading. 1t has,
in many cases. been most unreason-
able and unjust, with the result that
the railroads are greatly handicapped.
Their expenses have been increased,
weakened and the investing public
has grown afraid of their securities;
not only on account of the reduced
earnings, but because they are the
target of so much legislation by both
parties in many states. The organiza-
ton is formed to show to the public at
large the great volume of business
selves furnish. They distributed over
one billion dollars in the last good year
in wages. They purchased also over
$3.50 900, 900 worth of manufactured
material of all kinds. The railway
material represented in the material
purchased by the railroads did not
represent more than 250,000.000, but
the other $1,000, 100000 was actual
labor or wages.
ut is part of our plan to show that
if the railroads employed 100000
men, there are as many more who are
directly employed in furnishing their
requirements"

PLANS OF THE DANE.
No Fights in the Near Future for
Nelson Says His Manager.

Chicago. Oct. 29.-willus Britt OF
San Francisco, manager of light
weight champion Battling Nelson,
stopped off in Chicago for a few
hours yesterday afternoon en- route
from New York to the coast. and set
at rest all doubt as to the pugilistic
plans of the Dane.
1.-The rumors of Nelson fighting Nc
Farland six rounds in the east or OF
meeting Johnny Thompson this place
or that are all wrong said Britt.
Nelson has only two fights in view,
and neither of these is likely to come
off soon. One of these battles is to be
with Packey Mcfarland, for Nelson
will give the Chicago boy a crack at
the title.
Negotiations for a fight between
the Dane and Mcfarland have not
even been started, but I can say the
battle will come off about New Years,
for Nelson is not going to enter the
ring for a battle before the first of
the new year. AS for the other fight,
If it is arranged it will come at some
later date"
Britt, who has been in the east with
Nelson incidentally said that there
was no chance of Nelson crossing the
water to England to engage in sparr-
ing exhibitions with Jimmy Britt, who
is now on British soil.

Brooklyn came near breaking up the
Taft meeting at Madison Square Gar
