Chicago, Oct. 3.-ColoniZation of
the western country is going to be
materially retarded if the railroads
between Chicago and the Pacific coast
carry out a plan which has been ad-
vanced by the executive officials.
A proposition has received the APP
prevail of nearly every railroad in the
Western Passenger association to
abolish all low or reduced rates after
Jan. 1, 1909. This determination has
been reached because of the alarm
felt over the reduction in the net pas
senger revenues of the western roads.
This reduction is laid at the door of
reduced rates and genuine alarm is
felt for the future. The railroad Of
ficials declare that with 2-cent rate
generally there can be no reduced
rates without passing the margin of
profit.
1t is estimated that the western
roads have lost this season several
enues, compared with what they
would have enjoyed had they maintain
ed a minimum 2-cent rate west of Chi
cago This conclusion is based upon
careful statistics prepared by the Al
ton and other railroads, which show
that the railroads have carried more
passengers than ever. but at less net
revenue than accrued for a smaller
movement This can mean only one

1t Is Claimed.
WARSHIPS TO BE BUILT.
ALL, HOWEVER, WILL BE CON-
STRUGGLED IN BRITISH NAVY
YARDS AND NOT IN THOSE OF
THE UNITED STATES.

London, Oct. 3.-The Nation pub
fishes communication, to which it
ascribes an almost semi-official char
acter, with reference to the purpose of
Brazifs new battleships and the gen.
eral policy of the South American re-
publics. 1t is set forth that Brazil, Ar
gentina, Chile, and Peru realize that
the independence of a modern state
with long seaboard must be protect
ed by the possession of a navy of an
up-to-date type.
They have no fear of either England
or France, but there is an uneasy feel
ing about Germany as new naval and
colonizing power, and though little is
ever said on the subject, there is a
lurking jealousy of the United States
fear not SO much of aggression as
of patronizing protection, with die
tation as it's consequence. There was
curious indication of this in the case
of Brazil.
| America Gets No Orders.
At one time it was proposed to in
clude in the program the building oil
powerful submarines of the lake type

but while it was under consideration
provisional arrangements were made
with an English shipyard for building

thing, it is said, and that is return
to a minimum 2-cent rate everywhere.
When the western states passed 2
cent laws there was an effort on the
part of the railroads to make 2 cents
thereby shutting out all conventions,
state fairs and every gathering for
which reduced rates were wont to be
made. Most of the railroads were
willing to do this, but it was thought
that an exception should be made OF
colonization and homeseekers rates.
which were putting thousands OF
homeseekers into the western states
every year. This exception granted,
other exceptions crept in until the
bars were thrown down completely
and the western rods began making
reduced rates for all occasions.
1t is not expected that the change
can be brought about until the first
of the year, but it now seems certain
that if the public desires reduced rates
they can be had only by a return to
the Scent basis.
1.-THE railroads." explained J. w
Black, passenger traffic manager OF
the Santa Fee, ''are not trying to make
reprisals for the passage of 2-cent
laws. We have hone stly tried to con.
inue the making of reduced rates for
special occasions, but find that it can
not be done when the general fare is
2 cents unless it be done with loss
to the railroads. The legislators OF
I, AL q
cents the minimum and we would find
that this rate would prove remunera
tive. Now we find that we will have
to make it the minimum in order to
preserve our net revenues from pas
senger traffic.
If prosperity be based upon busy
freight cars then it is apparently head
ed this way. The semi-monthly report
of the committee on car efficiency oil
the American Railway association
shows that during the past two weeks
there has been a reduction in the mum
Der of idle cars of 49,045 cars. OF
this decrease nearly $4,000 are in bo,
cars and over $4,000 in coal and gon
dola cars.
The greatest improvement was
shown in the New England states and
in the Northwest. In the former ter
ritory the surplus in box cars has al
most disappeared and some roads &C
tually have shortage. In the North
west the movement of grain has
drawn into service practically all the
grain cars available and the coal situa
ton in this territory has greatly i'm
proved. In the eastern and middle
states the box car surplus is gradual
ly disappearing and the railroads ev
erywhere are taking a more honefu
! view of the business situat3on.

vict labor in the mines is its compe-
tition with free labor. At all times 1t
tends to drag down wages so that the
free miner is reduced almost to the
level of the convict: and in time of
strike the convict labor tends to break
the stItke.
No doubt the mine owners in this
district who have had bitter fight all
summer with the union which
would like to do all coal
digging under conditions such
as prevail at these convict mines.
They would use black labor: would
house and feed the men as comfortably
as their livestock, would assign them
each a daily task, and whip them If
they shirked. That would be the most
economical and steady labor market
known
Fully 5J per cent. of the miners in
this district are blacks. These blacks
are comparatively unintelligen., and
without the protection of white leaders
and the safeguards of union, the
powerful companies would soon have
them working for less than living
wage-which means forced work, and
all the conditions which produce the
