INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT GROWS


New York. August 7-Bradstreets' to- morrow will say:
 Trade, crop and industrial develop ments of the week are mainly favoraDie' The first of the fall merchants excur- sions are reported in leading cities there by enlarging sales by jobbers and whoie- salers Industrial reports are generahy of increased time run or enlarged ou'- put and the leading crops have approach ed a week nearer harvest. There are' however. some features accompanylns these developments deserving of note' ,rbere are statements from quite few markets that early fall buying is hardly m to the expectations and that eau ton and conservatism govern buyers ac tions.
 Tn the industrials there is perceptloiy more 6oing in iron and steel hardware nanufacturing. western mining, and the lumber trade generally. The raiiroaos are certainly buying more rails, cars anu also light supplies. The building traoe evidently turned the corner in July, but renorts of curtailment in output of cer- tain lines of cotton goods are still prom inent.

| Suggestions Become Law.
Every one of these suggestions be-
came law within go days after it was
proposed.
| 1t would be difficult to overstate the
enormous value of this legislation to
the public. It redeemed the promises
of the republican party made in the
congressional campaign of 1902. It's eff
ficiency has stood the test of time; it's
constitutionality has withstood the at
tacks of the most powerful interests
represented by the most brilliant advo-
Gates, and finally it was popularity en-
| dorsed at the polls, and the spirit of
moderation and justice in which it was
conceived and enacted was approved
| by the splendid majorities of 1904 in a
campaign in which it was advanced
as the party's chief claim to popular
confidence.
public interest since 1887 has been very
| great and the results accomplished
during this administration form by far
the most important part. A very COM
plete, if not perfect system of COM
merciaI regulation has been estab-
lished Reasonableness and equality in
railroad rates and practices are as
sured, railroad operations have been
brought under rigid governmental SUI
pervision, and the safety of employees
and the public protected by proper
laws
The fundamental work has been
done. 1t has been wrought out by those
responsible for it, on broad lines in a
spirit of moderation and with a de-
sire to do no injustice. 1t has been
neither sporadic nor spectacular"
The work has been treated as a whole
and each part sustains it's proper rela-
ton to each other part.
Unfriendly criticism has portrayed
these steps as bearing fruit only in the
facts furnish a complete refutation.
Hats and delays caused by judicial
construction or legislative correction
of details found defective may seem
sporadic to superficial and possibly
prejudiced observation. So the river,
bending and doubling in it's course, its
current halted by dams and bars, may
seem interrupted and obstructed in it's
flow. But the stream invariably flows
on; and it never flows backward.
No more can the progress accom-
plished be turned backward. The prin-
ciples established are permanent. The
policy of legislation; the subordina-
ton of corporate operations to it, the
law of impartiality in rates and ac-
countability to federal authority for
integrity and impartiality in the con-
duct of the great transportation SER

ayers now recognize the old evils and
abuses and the necessity for uniform
federal regulation in the interest of
the railroads themselves, and that they
show a disposition to cooperate will
ingly in the plans and methods adopt
ed to secure conformity to the law.
They seem now to realize that the
railroads having invoked the federal
power to be freed from onerous state
restraints, they cannot now justly
complain if the power which helped
them also regulates them in the pub
lie interest. They must take the burden
with the benefits. They sought liberty.
and they must remember that liberty
is not license but is a freedom regulat-
ed by law.

vices of the nation are now fixed and
rooted in our jurisprudence and legis-
lation.
Nor is it true that the measures
which have reached the matured form
of national legislation include attack,
enmity or injury to sound business
interests, either corporate or private.
Extreme propositions may have been
made; but they have not largely pre-
vailed in the completed enactments by
congress. On the contrary these laws,
rightly seen, mean a sounder, stronger
and more widely diffused prosperity
for the real corporate interests,
namely. the owners of the railroad
shares and securities.
High railroad authority has declared
the necessity of spending five and a
half billions during the next two years
in extensions Of the railroad facilities,
to meet the growing demands of the
country, coupled with a grave doubt
whether the securities to pay for these
expenditures can be f1oated. In view of
that very doubt, though it is questioned
whether it is a subject within federal
authority, it is of the utmost import
ance that the five and a half billions of
securities shall purchase the full five
and a half billions worth of i'm
provements, and not be subject to
wholesale though surreptitious sub
fractions.
This l maintain to be the spirit and
character of the laws enacted by con-
gress, on this subject. Administered
with answering fidelity to the under.
lying purpose, they furnish the full
remedy for the evils. We must not
forget that the efficacy of all law lies
In the integrity and persistence of it's
enforcement.
What 1 have said has been in the
main of what has been accomplished
under the national authority in the
past Further exercise of that author
ity should proceed with just apprecia-
ton and public needs and disassociated
from political clamor We must re-
member, quoting from the interstate
commerce commission, that:
If business undertakings proper
tionately increase during future years.
the railroads of the country must add
to their tracks, cars and other facilities
to an extent difficult to estimate. It
may Conservatory be stated that the
inadequacy of transportation facilities
is little less than alarming; that it's
continuation may place an arbitrary
limit upon the future productivity of
the land, and that the solution of the
difficult financial and physical prob
lens involved is worthy the most
earnest thought and effort of all who
believe in the full development of our
country and the largest opportunity for
its people,
The commission makes it evident
that the best and ablest railway man.

Has Had Trouble in Pushing
Northwest Second Street
Sewer Job.
FOREIGNERS MAY BE HIRED
UNLESS THE UNEMPLOYED OF
RICHMOND RESPOND, HlPSkIND
SAYS HE WILL BE FORCED TO
THIS ACTION.

Contractor Hipskind of Wabash,
ind, who is building the Northwest
Second street sewer system, a $4,000
job, has been making slow progress
with the work because of his inability
to secure WOrkmen. When Mr.. Hip
skind informed the board Of public
works of this difficulty he was expert
encing, the board members were con-
siderably surprised, because they
knew hat there were large number
of men in the city out of employment.
Under theterms of the contract Hip
skind holds with the city, it is provid-
ed that local men shall be given pref
erence when WOrkmen are engaged.
Mr.. Hipskind states that he has lived
up to this provision of the contract,
but that he has had the greatest diff
Guilty in securing local men who will
work on the job.
Just a few men have applied for
has come to me. These men will work
q day or two and then quit. One morn
ing when the work starts | will find
a fairly large gang of men on hand.
Probably the next morning there will
be only handful report for work. AS
long as this state of affairs continues
/ will be unable to make much progress
with the work." stated Mr.. Hipskind.
He also said that if the unemployed
workmen of this city did not soon APP
preciate the fact that he had plenty of
work to offer all of them at good wages
he would be forced to ask the board of
public works to annul that provision
in the contract which applies to local
workmen and then import gangs of
Italians and other foreigners into the
city so that he could complete the
work by the time specified.
Mr. Hipskind states that because the
workmen here who are now out of en-
ployment appear to be Indifferent as to
whether they secure employment, he
cannot be expected to delay the work
he has on hand, and furthermore, he
does not intend to have it delayed.
