MUST BOOST FREIGHT RATES.
Railroad Managers Said to Be Dis
turbed Over WAGE Demands.

Chicago. April 2.-Ba nkruptcy or an
immediate increase in freight rates was
the cry sent up from the general offices
of the big western railroads following
the boost in wages voluntarily given
( the employees of the Pennsylvania and
the Reading lines, which action has
already been felt in the increased I'M
easiness in the western railroad wage
situation.
In order to maintain our equipment,
pay our dividends and at the same
time increase our wage schedule" said
Vice President E. w Mckenna of the
Milwaukee road, I'VE must increase our
receipts. There is but one way, and
that is to raise our freight rates.
Shippers protest a t the very men
ton of such thing. 1t is time they
| realized that, as the railroads are the
life-blood of the country, unless they
are kept up TO the standard demanded
by heavy traffic, the country which
they keep alive will feel the resultant
effects and, lacking nourishment, will
grow sick and die.
The panic of 1907 will be only a
! flea bite compared to the panic we are
facing unless conditions are allowed to
adjust themselves. The roads have but
one alternative. They must increase
their revenue thru higher rates.
Probably only % per cent of the
100000 employees of the western lines
have presented their wage demands"
said Mason Thompson. The remain
ing IS per cent, however, will I'M
questionably be settled by arbitration
and without strike. The action of the
Pennsylvania in increasing wages prob
ably will have some effect on western
lines. Freight rates, however, will have
to be raised to meet the increased out
| lay imposed on the roads.
TO offset the average increase of
! from 6 to s per cent in the wages of
employees so far granted by western
roads, freight rates would have TO be
raised from 7.55 mills to $50 mills a
| ton a mile

stockers and Feeders.

Few $50 to 1000 pound steers have
been on sale for the reason that killers
still paid better price basis for them
than the feeder buyers could afford.
However some odd lots have lately
gone at se.35 $3.50 and higher, but the
crop above $500 in recent days has
been quite light. Most of the medium
to good feeders have gone at $5.4O@S.00
and a decent lightweight class at
1925, with the common grades around
SIS 90, while the nice quality light stock
ers have cost s5.35 $3.50 and higher,
with a decent kind at s5.00@5.15, and
the plain lightweight down to $40.
There has also been liberal number
of common quality light, Off colored
stockers available down from $3.50 in
recent days, kinds which at high time
cost close up to $500.
Big decline in beef steers in the past
two weeks has been chief factor In
knocking the props from under the
feeder market. Bullish enthusiasm has
been dealt a hard blow and the pros

to believe that prices were due to hit

AN ELECTION BOOMERANG.
chamberIain's Maiden Speech Brings
Out Heroic Deed.
Especial CORRESPONDENCE. !

Washington, April 2.-Senator George
Chamberlain, of Washington, made his
maiden speech this week. on conserva-
ton. 1t reminded an old Oregon friend
Of one of Chamberlain's own expert
ments in conservation.
when Chamberlain was running for
the senate" said this friends, "the OPP
position went over his record with a
| fine toothed comb to find something in
furious to him. One day one of the
strikers rushed in and announced that
he had it.
chamberlain was president OF a
bank when he was a young man; it
busted and was a horrible wreck"
Wow! Dig it up quick" announced
the manager.
The story was looked up, and was
true The bank failed, and there were
almost no assets.
They were just ready to put out the
story when an old friend of Chamber
lain came along and advised against it.
Wont do you any good" he insisted
Take my word for it.
But the campaign managers had to
do something. and so the story of the
busted Chamberlain bank was given
out and got due publicity in all the
antl-'CndHlDeTidln newspapers. 4>eAI
day the Chamberlain committee gave
out statement. signed by all the di-
rectors and a lot of depositors Of the
bank. It said:
ut is true that Mr.. Chamberlain was
president of the bank when it failed.
At that time he was a man of some
property He had never been actively
connected with the banks management.
and when he learned that it was closed
and hopelessly insolvent. he turned
over his entire property. and personally
paid all the depositors."
Whereupon the anti-Chamberlain
people started hunting for a new roor-
back, and when election day came the
man whose bank had failed inglorious-
ly was triumphantly elected senator, as
democrat, in an overwhelmingly re-
publican state.

Chicago Horse Market.

Chicago, April 2.-Receipts show
steady gains as compared with last
weeks run, the arrival for five days
aggregating 1897 horses, as against
1879 for the same period a week ago
and 2,65S for the same interval last
year. Normally the trade is at the
height of the season in both demand
and prices, and dealers look for a con-
tinuation of active inquiry the current
month at about stationary values. A
feature of the trade is the liberal farm
inquiry from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois and wisconsin that have been
represented with large orders for farm
mares and chunks at $l40@175 and up
to 5000. Eastern sale stables have
filled large orders for good drafters at
$2O0@250, with few fancy grades
commanding s275@300, with bulk of
the draft offerings clearing at $3.50 a
200. Expresses are firm at $165 @210
and wagon classes move at $3.50 @20O.
Small southern chunks meet slow in
quiry at s65@140, as the bulk of the
trade for this class is over.

A BLOW AT PUBLICITY.
House Votes to Give President Alone
Power to Reveal Facts.

Washington, April 2.-The house of
representatives by party vote of 1872
to 1913 decided that returns required
Of corporations under the corporatio
tax law shall be open to inspection
only upon the order of the president.
The impression is that the senate will
accept this amendment.
While the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill was pend
Ing in the senate the paragraph carry
ing an appropriation Of 100000 for
expenses of collecting the corporation
tax was amended by the addition of
proviso "that the reports required
! shall shall only he made public when called
for by resolution of the senate or the
house of representatives or upon the
order of the president when he deems
it for the public interest, and that the
secretary of the treasury shall formu-
late rules and regulations for classi-
flying, indexing and exhibiting said re-
ports or any information tllerefron
which said rules and regulations shall
be approved by the president"
The house conferees were dissatis-
fed with this provision, especially that
part of it making the returns subject
to resolution Of the senate or house,
an amendment incorporated in the
senate upon the suggestion Ex-senator
La Toilette. They therefore asked the
| house to strike out the entire para

PREDICTS EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
AIdrich Believes Congress Will End

Washington, April 2.-Congress may

| lief of Senator Aldr1ch. The senate
| leader issued his prophecy on leaving
the White House, where he conferred
with President Taft on pending legis-
lation in which the administration Is
interested. This is the first forecast Of
| Importance yet made as to the date OF
adjournment.
| Because Of the lack Of funds that
part of the Payette-Boise irrigation
project located north Of the Boise riv-
er, probably will not be constructed BY
the government. This announcement
was made at the interior department.
yesterday. The condition of the rec
| lamation fund in connection with the
needs of existing projects, 1t was said.
makes it improbable that the governs
ment will be able to construct this unit
of the project.
Representative SABBATH, democrat. Of
| Illinois, wants to know IL there are not
many officials Of the department Of
justice scattered thruout the country
who form veritable cliQues and have
monopoly of bankruptcy and other
cases that have come into the federal
courts. He introduced resolution yes
terday calling upon the attorney gems
eral to furnish the house with informa~
ton as to the names Of persons 50 ems
ployed. salaries paid, and other feat-

gress of the National Farmers Union

proved by the president"
Thus the house not only reduces the
appropriation for handling the returns
to $4,000 but places entirely within the
control of the president, the publicity
feature
An effort was. made by the democrats
to utilize the opportunity for motion
to repeal the Payne-Aldrich tariff law,
but the speaker ruled the motion out of
order and when an appeal was taken
from his decision the republicans solid
ly supported him and by vote Of 100
to 116> defeated the motion.
The general explanation offered for
their vote today by republican insur-
gents who on the passage of the tariff
bill voted against it, was that the dem
ocratic attempt at coup led by Mr..
Fitzgerald of New York was so clearly
out of order that the speaker had to be
sustained in SO declaring it. The vote
was not taken directly on the question
of repeating the tariff law, but upon a
motion by Representative Tawney of
Minnesota to table the appeal taken
by Mr.. Fitzgerald from the ruling of
the chair. Had Mr.. Tawney's motion
been voted down then the house could
~have proceeded to adopt the Fitzgerald
motion to repeal the tariff, and the
democrats We're keenly disappointed
when they realized that they had mis-
calculated, and would not receive the
support Of any of the republican insur-
gents.
The republicans who attempted to
justify the adoption of the amendment
prohibiting publicity Of corporation re-
turns under the new law on the
grounds that the present law does not
require such publicity, found them
selves in embarrassing positions. Rep
resentative Smith of Iowa offered prob
ably the >most ingenious dodge by con-
STRUNG the present law to make the re-
turns public records of the treasury
department open to inspection as such
records ordinarily are.

The poor eastern beef demand has
been cause for the wide price break in
the last two weeks and increased con-
sumption of eggs together with the
high cost of the beef, has been the rea-
son for the slump in consumptlVe de-
mand for the latter. Shippers bought
only 5000 cattle this week, while there
has been a very meager demand from
the exporters because of the failure
of prices in the British market to rise
to a relative basis with the market on
this side Killers have thus had the

There was practically no market in

Best prices this week were paid on

bought a fair class, and some yearlings
were recorded at ss.75@9.00, and in
ferior ewes went at s565@5.75, with a
few good ones upward of $500. Shorn
offerings were most numerous, and
while yearlings topped at 1915, a good
kind of late sold at $500 and less.
wethers topped at 1885. but ss.25 was
about the limit, with many on close
quotable below $500, while ewes were
generally in small punches from $3.50
down to $500.
Natives were in small lots generally
and while some wooded ewes reached
$500 there were few here that could
be sold as high as $3.50, a figure which
stopped the best on the close. Some
wethers landed at sS.50@9.00, with
practically no yearlings on sale. Bucks
made $6.50@7.50, bulk at $500, while
shorn lots went at s5.5O66.75. Most
shorn ewes went at ss5o@7.5o, with a
few up to $500, while ss.25 bought

investigation federal officers are ready

troll thirty three large manufactures OF

It has factories and offices in Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Massa chusetts, Mich

Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Many
prominent glass manufacturers from
Chicago, Cleveland and elsewhere have
been served with subpoenas to appear
before the grand jury as witnesses.
United States District Attorney John
Fl. Jordan has conducted the investi-
