ROADS 10 OBEY The LAW
ERAL THOUSAND MORE
OPERATORS.
MANY FREIGHT CARS IDLE
Official Declares One Line is Hauling
Empties Backward and Forward
Because II Had No Yard
Room for Them.

Washington, March 2.-American
railways have made arrangements to
comply with the provisions OF the
%'nine-hour law" The operation OF the
law will mean the employment by rail
road companies of several thousand ad-
ditional operators and the closing OF
a large number of small stations on
the principal systems. Disseminating
of railway service at many points, II
is thought, will induce at least tenn
porary inconvenience to travelling and
shipping public in order to reduce op-
Grating expenses, which now seems
necessary. The operating officials OF
the railways believe that this is the
only way that they possibly can meet
the situation with which they are con-
fronted.
ASTONISHING Statements Made.
During the hearing of applications
for an extension of the nine-hOur law
by the interstate commerce commits
sion. some astonishing statements
were made by the operating officials
of important railways. A good many
lines, owing to a reduction in their
revenues and to their inability to com
mand the cash necessary TO meet their
payrOllS, have been forced, during the
past four months, almost to the point
of asking for receivers. In the Opin-
ion of railway officials expressed at
the hearing under oath and in private
conversation. this condition does not
seem to have been due to the enforce
ment of regulative laws or to the in
capacity of railway management. Most
of the railway officials attribute the
difficulty to the unfortunate banking
situation which developed last Sep
TENDER. The railways did not feel the
stringency in money until about the
first of November. In fact, the month
of October was n of the best in the
history of the business of American
r~ailrOading.
From Prosperity to Adversely.
"Then, without the slightest warn
ing" H. L. Nudge. vice president and
general manager of the Rock Island,
expressed it, I'VE were plunged from
plOSptll IS " ouNOIoItE' "a SCoA oSO
our system could not handle the traffic
offered us. Today we have II, 900 idle
cars. Five months ago we suffered
from a congestion of freight. now we
suffer from a congestion of empty
cars"
What is true of the Rock Island is
true also of scores of other railroads.
One railway official ventured the
statement that in the country today
there were 800. 900 idle freight cars
and one line which he instanced was
declared to be hauling empty cars
backward and forward because it had
not yard room or sid.ngs to accommo-
date them.
Not a single official Of a single rail-
way line who appeared before the COM
mission, however, expressed the be-
lief that the present industrial depres-
sion would be lasting. In the testi-
mony of nearly every witness before
the commission there was a note of
confidence because nearly every one
of them practically believed that the
~stringency in the money market from
which the country has suffered is not
due to fundamental causes.

so rapid that little effectual work could
be done.

them by order Of the Jesuit fathers
and many found lodging there. while
others were accommodated in homes
throughout the city.
Besides these, thousands OF men
will be out of work on account OF the

The insurance is estimated at not
more than half of the loss.

movement by the people of the city
il this instance fairly illustrate
the trueism that when the pcopl'
of q community unite on matter
of public policy, combining theiI
money and their energies, it j
practicable and easy to establish
industries that will insure th'
growth and prosperity of the COM
munity. This action on the part
of the enterprising men Of Fitz-
gerald resulted in the establish
mpnt of Il dozen industrial concerns
which have contributed immense
ly to the advancement and impor
lance of the city and prosperity OF
the surrounding country. These
enterprises include a large cotton
f,ct Try, oil mills, cotton ginnerieS
ice factory, planning mills, machin'
shops, foundry, railroad shops,

tnre Of building blocks out of sane

If commerce is unusually liberal

Fitzgerald offers many excellent
advantages as a manufacturing
center. The four railroads enter
ing the city furnish first class trans
portation facilities to all sections
of the country; the Fitzgerald, Oc-
mulgee and Red Bluff Railroad
connects the city with the steam
boat lines on the Ocmulgee river,
only 10 miles distant, furnishing
direct transportation to the Sea
board at Brunswick and to Macon

low freight rates as any inland
town in South Georgia, and there
are a number of large wholesale
houses which distribute goods in
six directions throughout this sec
tiOn of the state.

territory unsurpassed by any part
of the country as an agricultural
and stock raising section, which is
more fully described in another
