RAILROADS MADE
 THE SCAPEGOATS
President Truesdale AssaiIs the
 Political Parties
DISTRUST OF MANAGEMENT !
MT. Truesdale Declares That Authority of Railroad Managers Over Elm pIoyes Is Weakened By Drastic
 Laws Concerning Labor.

New York February 25.--The underly- ing cause of all the general indiscrimi- nate abuses of the railways and their management and of the 'paralytic stroke which they have. suffered was attributed by W. H. Truesdale, president of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Vest ern railroad today, to the alleged plans of the great political parties to make the sins of the railroads the leading politi- cal issue of the coming campaign. This statement was made by MT. Truesdale in his annual report to the stockholders of the road He began by saying that the outlook for 1908 as respects the railway earnings is anything but encouraging Opinion as to the causes of existing con- ditions differ widely, he said, but there has been engendered a widespread dis trust of the management and financial standing and the soundness of all the railways of the country.
 Continuing he said:
 "The two great political parties of the country in planning their forthcoming presidential campaigns, make the sins of the railroads and their management and drastic correction of same thelr lead ing issues and herein may be found the real underlying cause of all the general, indiscriminate abuse of the railways and their management, and of the paralytic stroke which they and all interests con neeted with them have suffered. With great foresight and shrewdness those who have planned and are responsible for this political programme have alienated from the railways the chief political influence that they might and should have every reason to expect would use their inf1u- ence to protect them against campaign of this kind their own employees. This was accomplished by the passage of cer- tain laws governing the hours of serv- ice. wages conditions of employment gen. erally and other laws more far-reaching have been promised and are now pend- ing"
 After declaring that the sweeping de- nunciation of the managing authorities has weakened their authority over their employees, MT. Truesdale added:
 ..'rhe tendency, furthermore, to place the control of the railways and their operations down to the minutest detail. in the hands of public officers. boards or commissions which are subject to polit- ical influences to a greater or less degree, is by no means hopeful or reassuring as respects the future value or efficiency or the transportation facilities of the coun- try"
 Mr. Truesdale was reelected president of the company and William Fahnestock was chosen a director to succeed the late Samuel Sloan
 The report of the company for the year ended December 3l, shows gross earnings of $37 .264,473, an increase over the previous year of A,S0l,593; operating expenses of $21 ,539,739, an increase of S2, ,64O, ,297 leaving net earnings of $15,724,- -od an ipcrease of S1. .66l 296.

Washington, February 25.-(Special.)- The passage Of a bill preventing inter- state transportation of liquors to states and communities in which local legisla- tion is against their sale is now consid- cred unlikely This end is~ sought by MT. Littlefield's bill and a score of other measures introduced in both the House and Senate.

He did not think that for $40,000 a court house could be built, and remarked that the amount was merely for postoffice building.

Washington, February 25-A running debate, frequently enlivened by contro- versial tits, accompanied the delivery Tn the Senate today of a comprehensive speech upon the pending currency bill by Senator Robert l.. Owen of Oklahoma.
 During the first portion of his address MT. Owens laid stress upon his connection with an emergency currency provision Of which he was the author and which former Senator Jones introduced in the Senate in 1900.
 If that bill had been adopted,' he said,
 the recent panic might have been pre- vented He added that the same Senator was then, as now, the chairman of the com mittee on finance, and could have secured the adoption of the legislation then had he realized it's importance Senator Smith of Michigan cited in reply to statement in favor of a government guar antee of deposits in national banks that that experiment. had been tried in New York and found wanting from 1890 to 1S45.''
