LOCAL SHOPS FOR
PULLMAN COMPANY
Will Erect Repair Plant Costing
S5OO,0OO and Employ Eight
Hundred Men

Repair shops costing 100000, and
which, when completed, will employ
500 men, will be erected in San Fran
pany as soon as suitable site can be
selected, statement TO this effect be-
ing made yesterday by Richmond Dean.
general manager of the company. Dean,
accompanied by s. s. Hungerford, the
general superintendent Of the company.
and Edward Sollas. a prominent stock
holder, arrived in the city Tuesday for
the purpose of purchasing site for
the repair shops. They are staying at
the Fairmont hotel.
The increase in business along the
coast has made repair shops here neo-
essary," said Dean. Our most western
shop at the present time is situated in
Denver. and instead of having to haul
our cars all that distance for repairs,
it is the intention of the Pullman COM
pany to erect a shop in San francisco
or its vicinity.
.iThe shop will cost about 100000
and will employ in the neighborhood of
500 men. / personally consider San
Francisco the most natural and suitable
spot for such repair shop, but wheth-
er it will be located here ultimately
will depend upon our luck in finding a
site here.
I'VE have looked over several pros
pective sites already. but have not de-
\
cided upon one and, will not do SO until
we have made thorough investigation
of the various localities. Apart from
the general scheme the plans as yet are
very indefinite. Work will begin as
soon as possible, as we realize that the
sooner we have the new shop erected
the. better it will be for the Pullman
company

SAYS SPARTY FAVORS
REVISION DOWN
Secretary of the Treasury De-
clares Republican Ranks
Have Changed Front

BOSTON, Dec. S.-That the republi-
can party has changed front and is
no wmarching toward lower tariffs and
that in this movement the Payne tariff
bill was only an incident, was the
statement made bye Secretary of the
Treasury Macveagh at the annual
banquet of the Massachusetts bankers
persons attended.
Opening his address with a brief
reference to the currency situation,
Secretary Macyeagh made a plea that
the banking interests realize the grav-
ity of the issue and declared that un-
less the bankers succeeded in adopting
the public point of view, instead of the
private one, they would lose an oppor-
tunity to influence greatly the coming
legislation on the subject
That was all the secretary had to
say on currency. and he passed to a
discussion of the tariff and the Payne
law. He said in part:
In considering the results Of the recent tarif
legislation II is indispensable. In my Judgment
10 keep Two important Factors In mind The
first is that the Payne law Is but an incident
in tariff revision movement by and within
the republican party, sanctioned and under
taken by the part yitseif and advocated by
President Taft In office and out OF Office and
by President Mckinley with almost his last
words.
The second is that it is the resultant
effect of the movement which is important to
take into account and estimate. and not essen.
tally, anything else. No one expected fbfs
great movement to complete itself In single
act of legislation, and 1t was expected to 10
quite clear that the legislation enacted last
August did not end the movement for tarI1
revision.
There is one great fact that makes a new
tariff epoch. That fact is that the republican
party had changed its front. Whereas II had
been marching toward higher and higher farfn
1t has now faced about. 1t has recognized
changed conditions.
II is true that the Payne bill does not con-
tain as much downward revision as the great
majority of the members Of the repuhljcau
party had wished. II did not contain as much
of that revision the president wished R,,f
the Payne bill. as it passed the house. was nm
intentional and avowed revision downward As
It now stands it is practical confirmation OF
the new policy Of the republican party

RAILROADS RAISE
TARIFF ON AUTOS
Dealers Complain of Proposed
Advance and Reduction in
Weight of Carloads

bomb was dropped into the camp
of the automobile dealers yesterday
when the transcontinental lines an
nounced that they were considering
an advance on freight rates on auto
mobiles. The proposal TO raise the
rates is the outcome OF the annual
meeting of the transcontinental freight
bureau held at Chicago from Novem-
ber Is to December 2. This meeting
was attended by the traffic mana gers
of the transcontinental roads. and as
no warning was given to the motor car
manufacturers of the proposed raise
the automobile trade was not well rep
resented
1t is proposed to raise the rates to
California from IS to 81 per hundred
pounds on automobiles in less than car
load lots and carload lots from So to 81
per hundred. But s4oe viii have to be
paid for any weight in the car under
10000 pounds. the carload weight hav-
ing been reduced from $4,000 to 10000
pounds This means that the price of
a car carrying the present car weight
will be $3.50. This is 33 1-3 per cent
raise, while in less than carload lots
IL is q raise of 16 per cent
The reduction of 3.e00 pounds per
carload works hardship on the dealer.
for 1t means that will cut out one big
machine or two small ones.
The shipment of a single machine
that weighs 1000 pounds will have to
stand freight tariff of s14O instead
of the present rate of s120. A big 1000
pound car. will cost $3.50 to bring to the
coast.
Automobile dealers consider the in
creased tariff particularly severe be-
cause the railroads have less to do with
handling cars in carload lots than any
other kind of freight. The autos are
loaded by experienced men at the fac
tory and unloaded here by the dealers.
who prefer not to take chances with
the ordinary freight handlers.
The northwest is even worse off than
California, for carload rate there is
1868.
Several, conferences were held by the
prominent local dealers yesterday and
it was decided to call a general meet
ing to discuss plans for preventing the
proposed increase.
