FREIGHT RATES

j. j. HILLS SUGGESTION TO
SOLVE PROBLEM CONFRONT
ING RAILROADS OF U. S.
WOULD NOT CUT WAGES
Harrhan of Illinois Central Says One
of Three Things Must Be Done
European Rates Much
Higher.

New York, July 17.-Thera are just
three ways in which the problem now
facing the railways of this country
may be solved, namely, increased
rates, decreased wages, or increased
business, in the opinion of j, r Hara
han. president Of the Illinois Central,
who arrived here today from Europe.
J. J. Hill, chairman of the Great
Northern railway, IS of the opinion
that the only solution OF the financial
problem that cOnfronts the railroads
in an increase in freight rates. Hin
is strongly opposed to a cut in wages
as means Of increasing the net earn
ing Of the railroads. Hill said:
There's no alternative but to raise
rates The credit OF the railroads has
been seriously impaired, The way TO
enhance credit is to increase rates.
Wages should not be cut, Eff
cient labor is essential to successful
operation. Railroad employees have
peculiar responsibilities. They have
to meet a hard test They should get
fair recompense Cut wages 10 pc
cent, and men who got $l5 last week
get $3.50 this week. 1t is the differ
ence between meat and no meat
The freight rates of this country
are low beyond comparison the rail
roads receiving but one half and even
one-third of the rate received in Euro
pean countries, and the wages paid
railroad employees here average 100
per cent higher than those paid in
Europe"

Mrs. Hanna p. Peterson, Twenty-eighth

The result Of that mixup left the demo-
Gratis OF Kentucky badly split The
chances are that. while the state may go
democratic. its vote in the electoral coll
lege is likely to be divided.
In Tennessee the republicans. who have
been engaged in a fractional fight for two
years. have gotten together. The demo-
Gratis arc badly split up over local issues,
and the republicans have an excellent
chance to elect a couple OF congressman
and no small chance to get a part Of the
electoral ticket.
Georgia Democrats Split.
Georgia is rent in twain over local mat
ters. In the spring Hoke Smith was badly
beaten in the democratic primary for the
gubernatorial nomination by Joseph N.
Brown. Tom Watson, running on the
populist ticket for the presidency, is very
strong in his native state. Many of the
Smith democrats are out with knives for
Brown. They intend throwing their
strength to Watson and his state ticket
In the hope of defeating Brown. Some Of
the wisest politicians in Georgia are pre-
dieting that the fractional fight among
the democrats will result In the election
of the populist state ticket and possibly
the carrying of the national ticket for
Tom Watson for president.
In Virginia the republicans are putting
up a terrific fight at present. where It
seemed at first that they would have no
chance. One congressional district Of the
Old Dominion is already republican. This
is the Ninth, or mountain district, repre-
sented in congress by Bascombe Slemp.
In the Fifth and Tenth districts, now rep
resented by democrats, the republicans are
working hard and confidently hope to win
in one or the other.
A bomb was thrown in the democratic
camp in Richmond recently when It was
found that a Taft club Of several hun.

There has been no hullabaloo about tn,
