Would Cripple Biggest Spender.

When you prevent the railroads of the
country from continuing their activity YOU
interfere with the nations greatest spend
or. Not only does the great army of rail
road employees suffer, but worlingmen
everywhere will feel the effect.
The present administration undoubtedly
started in with the intention Of being up
builders of the countr%'s business interests,
but instead of putting business on the up
grade it has placed it on the political plat
ter. To me 1t looks If the dish was
going to be badly burned
''The trouble in Washington seems 20 be
that there are too many lawyers in charge
of affairs, and no one with sound business
judgment who is willing to let the other
fellow be heard
Sure enough, we have prospects of good
crops, and some Believe that will help the
railroads to readjust themselves, even
though the government should succeed.
Such talk is nonsense Just before the de-
preston of 1907 the country enjoyed the
finest of crop conditions, but that didn't
help in any way to stop the disaster thar
followed
when you stop the activity of American
railroads, business in general is bound TO
decrease. You put the matter right up 10
the two million employees. whose bread and
butter depends upon the railroad purse
string. After all. it's not such a blow
against the railroads as against the entire
commercial interests.
THE Republican party in its platform re-
ferred to the injustice of the injunction.
but at the same time they applied this
method 10 the railroads. In so doing they
were party to a high handed proceeding
The railroads did not commit an overt act
and should not be treated in that manner
At any rate, the government has assailed
the commercial interests of the country by
methods which were denounced only a
short time ago"

TAFT TO GRANT HEARING
President to Meet Railroad
Presidents on Monday.

Detroit, June 3.-President Taft said to-
night that he will issue no statement as
to suits against railroads. He confirmed
the report that on Monday next at Wash
ington he will give a hearing to a large
delegation of railroad presidents who feel
aggrieved over the injunction suit recently
brought by Attorney General Wickersham
to prevent an increase in freight rates by
the Western Traffic Association
The conference was requested by several
of the big Western trunk lines who desire
to lay their case before the President aud
to learn more definitely the plans of the
government.
Following the rule he has laid down of
giving A hearing to all parties to con-
troversy. the President readily granted the
request of the railroad magnates.

NO EASTERN COMPLAINTS
Wickersham Received Charges
Against Only Western Roads.
DIFFERENCE IN METHODS
Eastern Roads Filed Individual,
and Western Collective
Schedules.

Washington. June 3.--Attorney General
wickershan said at the close of business
hours at the Department OF Justice to-day
that he had not received any complaints
against the railroad freight tariffs filed
with the Interstate Commerce Commission
fixing rates In the territory east of the
Mississippi River.
The government is no. taking any initia-
tive for the purpose of ascertaining the
manner in which the new rates were deter
mined on Presumably it's course will be to
await the fling of a complaint, as was done
against the rates made by the Western
Traffic Association In Western trunk line
territory, where the Omaha committee
charged there had been an agreement OF
conspiracy TN fixing the tariffs filed with
th, Interstate Commerce Commission.
II was said at the department to-day
that shippers have not yet had time TO ex-
anime carefully the new rates as to be
able to ascertain their full extent and char
acter
The question generally discussed in WASH
ington to-day was that of the probable ef-
feet of the railroad bill in its final form
upon the increases which are proposed to
take effect on or about July 1. The bill as
1t left the House and as it now stands in
the Senate is fixed to take effect sixty days
after its enactment In this form it would
exempt the pending increases from inter
ference by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. 1t is now expected that there
will be an attempt at least TO advance the
taking effect of the act so as to cover these
increa ses
New-York tribune., 1910-06-04
Eastern Rates Agree.

The rates made by the Eastern lines in
their revised tariffs, while filed with the
commission and put into effect by individ-
ual roads, arc substantially the same In all
cases. II is pointed out that this necessa-
rily must be so, for, if any particular road
maintained a lower rate between New
York and Chicago, for instance, on par
ffcular kind of freight than that accorded
by other roads, the line giving the lower
rate would get all the business.
The increases in rates proposed by the
New York Central lines may be taken as
typical of the advances proposed by all Of
the Eastern roads. The tariffs may differ
slightly in places. but they are substan-
TALLY the same on general freight moving
from the same points Of origin to the same
points Of destination
In the tariffs filed by the New York Cen
trail OH commodities moving between New
York ana Chicago, the increases average
about 8 per cent. Some of the principal
commodities, with the percentages of In
crease in the freight charge. are here given
Alum. 81; alumina, 81; ammunition, 93;
asphaltum. 10: burlap bagging, 10; fire brick.
45; flint brick. 81; clay. 10; gravel, 5.5;
hide trimmings, 90; lime, 81; limestone. Il;
marble chips, u: oysters and clans in
she'll %; pitch. 81; wall plaster, 10; salt,
49, sand, $; soapstone. 10; tar, 81, and
whiting 10.
The Boston & Albany, one of the sub
sidiary lines of the New York Central sys-
tenn, has fled a tariff on commodities from
Boston to Chicago which gives practically
typical rates from Boston TO Chicago COM
mon points. Some Of the articles and the
percentage Of increase in the freight
charges them as follows: Alum 81: :
aluminium, 81; ammunition, 8; asphaItum
81; bagging, 10; flint brick. 81: hide trim

In connection with the proceedings in
stituted by Attorney General Wickersham
against the members Of the Western Trunk
Line Association, a particularly interesting
point has been raised. In what was known
as the Trans-Missouri freight case the
members OF the association as well as the
lines represented by them, were perpetu-
ally enjoined from maintaining the associ-
alton and froma entering into any traffic
agreements OF the same nature as those
developed IN that case.
Railroad lawyers in considerable num-
bers were endeavoring to-day TO read the
opinion of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the so-called Missouri River class
rate case. After the oral statement of the
decision from the bench on Monday Justice
MeKenna revised the opinion. The opinion
of the court in the final shape was fled to-
day in the offices OF the court.

New-York tribune., 1910-06-04
Eastern Roads Acted Individually.

So far the activities of the Attorney
General are concerned, the increases in the
East are in a different position from these
in the West, having been filed separately
and with little no tangible evidence of
agreement on the part of the roads. The
allegation regarding the Western roads, on
which the proceedings have been brought
under the Sherman antitrust law, IS that
the iucrea ses were fled as the result of a
definite understanding and agreement
among the roads concerned.
Practically all of the Eastern trunk lines
have completed the filing of their revised
freight tariffs with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. A. few of the tariffs of the
various systems. including the Erie and the
New York Ontario & Western, in connec-
ton with the Canadian Pacific. reached The
commission to-day. They will become eff
fective on July next.
.. II. Lawrence, of Boston, as agent for
the National Despatch-Cireat Eastern Line
"a fast freight route-including the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad and the Central
Vermont Railway Company, transmitted
his tariffs TO the commission by mail. but,
rot ntent with the mail facilities, he ap-
peared in person at the offices of the COM
mission with duplicate tariffs in order to be
absolutely assured they were filed prop
erly.
AS indicated above, the method of filing
tariffs with the commission is different
among the Eastern lines from that which
obtains among the Middle Western roads.
Individual members of the Western Trunk
line Association do not ordinarily file
separate tariffs; ar agent-Mr- Hosmer,
of thicago-is designated to file tariffs for
all of the roads and all of them are pre-
cisely alike.
-- It was on the theory that this combins-
ton was ''in restraint of trade" thatrAttor-
ney General Wickershsm instituted his
proceedings in injunction against the oFail-
ways constituting the Western Trunk Line
Association. IT is not believed by those
familiar with the conditions that thessam
sort of proceeding would lie against the
Eastern lines that have announced adj
vances in rates, because their tariffs, are
filed bv the individual roads. in perfect
conformity with the provisions of the in
terstate commerce act. The advances, could
be attacked by shippers in complaints TO
the Interstate Commerce Commission on
the ground they they were unreasonable.
In that event it would be incumbent upon
the commission TO determine whether the
increases were justified by business con
ditions. -

PROSECUTION UNDER FOOD LAW
First i'm Ieavenworth County Started
by Attorney Lee Bond.

Leavenworth, Kan. Dec. 23--The
first prosecution in this county under
the food laws for the sale of adulter-
ated and misbranded condensed
milk was started today by County At

Milk company, Tonganoxie, Kan.
The food standards require con
densed milk to contain % per cent

samples taken by the inspector show
but 16.47 per cent solids and AS per
cent milk fat, which indicate the wa
ter has not been evaporated out Ton
ganoxie is in the center of the largest
dairy interest in the state, having two

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Mine hostess came back from a five
minute conversation at the telephone,
pouting charmingly.
such a bore to have to stay so
long at the old telephone when 1 did
not want to lose a moment of you,''
she assured me.
Most flattering, surely, but
Well, 1 shall never telephone that
lady again without wondering what
| comment follows the end of our talk.
Would you?
How people dare say things like
| that when they must know how they
will be translated by people of dis
cernment, 1 just can't see.
Who but a fool. after hearing a
woman criticize everything about the
| member of the group who has just
| left would not realize that the mo-
ment she herself got out of earshot,
| the same fine-toothed criticism would
| be applied to her.
There was a girl at college who
was tremendously clever at making
| fun of people. She was so irresistibly
| witty that when she got started on
one of her tears, we all laughed, even
when we were ashamed of laughing.
She was an interesting girl, brilliant
girl, jolly girl in many ways, but
hse didn't have many friends.
Why?
ed and applauded, we trembled for
our own skins. We knew enough to
be afraid of her.
Everyone knows the type of girl
who tells you, with a delightfully."- con-
fidential air, "She told me not to tell
anyone this, but I simply must tell
you about it, because I know you will
appreciate it,
A few-a very few of us-have the
strength not to listen to her violated
condolences, but the majority of us lis
ten, laugh, or are interested, thank
her, and straightway set her down as
someone whose pledged word we must
remember to have no confidence in.
To me, the worst type of these folks
who so cheerfully make the moose
wherewith to murder peoples trust in
them, is the man who talks about 9TH
er women he has known to the one
woman with whom he happens to be
in love at the moment.
He, doubtless, thinks to make him
self solid with the new love by be-
traying the old, but If the new love is
any kind of woman at all, he damns
himself utterly as a person to be
trusted.
It is a poor rule that doesn't work
both ways, and what anyone, in the
excitement of confidential or af-
fectionate or friendly moment will say
to you about another person. it's dol
lars to doughnuts that under similar
conditions he will say to someone else
about you.
OF course there are few exceptions
to this as to all rules.
But on the whole I think It's pref
ty safe rule to go by, and that any
one of sense, whatever his outward
| demeanor towards such people, al
WAYS mentally hangs beware or the
dog" sign upon them.
