WANT RATE ADVANCE.
Equipment Companies Organize to
Work With Roads.

New York. Oct. 3.-Manufa cturers
OF railroad materials, representing
hundreds of millions of dollars in cap
itaI, met at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel
today to form an organization to COM
bat the attacks on railroads from leg
islative and other sources. 1t was
pointed out that five alone of the con-
Germs represented are capitalized at
more than 100000 in the ag-
gregate.
AS a direct influence in general at
tacks which have been made on rail-
roads, it was stated that some of the
firms manufacturing railroad material
have suffered losses amounting to rs
per cent.
The steel-rail interests have been
especially hard hit.
Officers were elected as follows:
President, George A. Post, president
of the Standard Coupler company,
New York; vice president, H. H. West
ing house, Pittsburg; treasurer, Chas.
A Moore, New York.
The name of the new Organization
is the Railway Business association.
The headquarters will be at the office
of President Post, in this city.

Roads Complain of Meagre Re-
turns From Mail Cars.
Want Better Compensation
From Federal Government.
OPPOSE DELAY FINES.
Steps Taken by Officials for
Improving Conditions.
other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

Railroads are asking again for
legislation which will increase the
payment to the roads for carrying
mail. A committee composed of Guy
Adams, ]. P. Lindsay. H. E. Mack,
and G. B. Lindsay. supervisors of
mails for the Rock Island, Santa Fe,
Wabash. and Missouri Pacific rail-
roads has submitted to Postmaster
General Meyer a written list of
grievances, with arguments for in
creased compensation
Members of the committee who
have been to Washington say they
had satisfactory interview with the
postmaster general and they believe
some changes will be made.
Their principal contention is that
contracts for handling the mail should
be made each year instead of every
four years. because in many cases,
especially on the western roads, the
amount of mail carried has increased
from 100 to 200 per cent in a four
year period, consequently a contract
for this period based on the average
amount carried during the los days of
the weighing is adequate
They pointed out also that while the
payments for additional employees
and facilities in every branch of the
postal service have increased in late
years in proportion to the growing
volume of the business, the payments
to railroads were reduced 5 per cent
last July by an act of congress.
Another change in the laws which
the railroads ask to have made is in
regard to the present system of inn
posing fines for delays to mail trains.
This, they say, adds to the expense
and annoyance of the railroads with
out improving the service because on
account of the nature of the trans
portation business it is impossible to
guarantee schedules. If under the
force of competition and the demands
of the regular traffic they are not able
to avoid delays they think they should
not be penalized for failure to main
tain schedules for a business that
represents only "a per cent of their
gross revenues.

TO ADOPT STEEL CARS.
Orders Given to Supply the Entire
Hartman System.

Chicago. Ill, Oct. 3.-After exhaus-
tive experiments conducted through a
long period. the management of the
Hartman lines has decided to adopt
steel-constructed passenger cars over
the entire system of roads. AS a start
err in this direction an order has been
given to the Pullman company by the
Hartman people for 220 steel pas
senger cars of miscellaneous types.
The order is the largest of its kind
ever given, it is stated, with the ex-
ception of an order placed by the
Pennsylvania company last year.
The cars are to be steel shells and
are to have as little wood in the con-
struction as possible. 1t is stated that
the method of constructing will make
them practically indestructible. Tests
of cars made in the Pullman shops
under the same specifications used for
the Hartman cars show that they will
stand almost any shock that can be
given without telescoping, and with
comparatively little injury.
The Pullman company will begin
delivering the order within sixty days
and will hurry completion of the work.
1t is understood that other large sys-
TENS are figuring on orders for steel
passenger equipment and it is thought
that the example of the Hartman and
Of the Pennsylvania lines will soon be
followed by all roads. The order is
taken to mean also, that the rail-
roads are getting ready to order equip
ment, believing that the business de-
preston is passing. The Pullman
company, it is said, will soon enlarge
its plant for the construction of steel
cars

Rule 5-High school pins shall not
be tolerated on the person of any
