Railway Business Association
Executive Committee Reports
That Regulation Is Established
and Must Be Met.
WILL BE COMMISSIONS
Whether the Railroads Like 1t
or Not.
WILL BE COMMISSIONS
No Benefit Can Come From Pro-
gramme of Obstruction.

New York. Nov, 10.-The Railway
Business association, an organization
formed to conserve the interests of the
railways of the country, held it's first
annual meeting in this city today. The
report of the executive committee,
which was submitted, states that there
will be no recurrence of public agita-
ton against the railroads if the reason
able desires of their patrons are not
disregarded by the arrangements of
railroads.
Continuing the report says in part:
1.-THE Railway Business association
was organized one year ago with the
view of ascertaining what the railway
supply industries can do to create pub
lie opinion more friendly to the rail-
roads.
1--WE have taken no part in the affairs
of any party or faction, or in the dis
cussion of any question except rallroa1
regulation and have maintained COM
plete independence of the railway or
ficials.
1T is our settled conviction that no
real benefit can come from a general
program of obstruction to regulation
Regulation has come to stay There
will be commissions whether railroads
like it or not.
1.-The railroads through special maya
zines, bulletins and otherwise are urg-
ing their men to meet the pubic de-
SireS.
can appalling mass of bills confronts
congress and every state legislature at
every session. It is physically impos-
sible for legislators to spread their at
tention over so many suggestions and
still give adequate heed to the preVen-
ton of mistakes in the bills which be-
come laws.
I'VE find it nevertheless to be the
conviction of many business men and
others that a large part of the an
tagonism to railroads has its origin in
displeasure over what seems to them
inconsiderate treatment given by the
railways. Our representations might
go far to solve the whole question if we
could induce the railways to redouble
their efforts in the direction of
strengthening the personnel of those
grades of their employees who come
most in contact with the public and
have most to do with forming public
opinion.
Many thoughtful observers look for
ward with grave apprehension to an
other reaction of public feeling against
the railways. Disregard of the reason
able desires of railroad patrons inflame
those who are Immediately affected by
them and give opportunity for arousing
widespread resentment among the
masses of the people. If the return to
prosperity and the present recession OF
hostility against the railroads should
foster heedlessness and result in a
lapse into practices open to just criti-
cism this will furnish material for a
new anti-railroad campaign.
ITO avert this calamity, the best eff
forts of all concerned and especially
those closely concerned, should be free

CHAUFFEUR WAS CRAZY.
Is the Explanation offered for Taxicab
Accident.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-Fireboat crews
were again pressed into service today
when the work of dragging the Chicago
river for the bodies of the supposed or
cupants of the taxicab which plunged
into the river Sunday night, was re-
sumed. The continued absence of Max
Cohen and his fiancee, Beatrice
Shapiro. believed to have been passen-
gers in the vehicle, caused their friends
to all but abandon hope that they had
escaped death.
In connection with the peculiar cir
cumstances of the accident, a theory
has been evolved that the reckless driv-
ing of the chauffeur, Ernest Camp, was
due possibly to mental arrangement

Tosted $1,000 to go as a forfeit for a

more Brady bet $4,000 to $1,000 with
Isman that Johnson will beat Jeffries.
Max Blumenthal is the stakeholder
of the wagers and of the $4,000
