Chicago, May 12.-The fight is on
of shippers against the freight rate
increase proposed by railways east
and west, with Chicago the storm Gen.
ter owing to the leadership of the IL
linois Manufacturers association. The
conference about May 20 between
the opponents will be important. On
one hand, the railroads point to pay
roll increases that total $100,00O.00O
according to President N. G.. Brown,
of the New York Central system. On
| the other hand, Secretary John M.
Glenn, of the Illinois Manufacturers
association, declares: "The railroads
are making barrels of money and the
advances in wages to employees are
not sufficient excuse for freight boosts.
All last year and, in fact, since Sep
tember, 1908, the net earnings for all
the roads in the country as compared
with the corresponding month for the
year before ran from $3,000,0O0 to
| $19, 900, 900 ahead. In November, 1909
the increase over November, 1908,
was $I18,995, 200. For the year ended
June 80, 1909, about sc per cent OF
the railroad stock paid dividends ag-
gregating 1886, 100000 or 7.91 per cent
for the stock which paid dividends.
That is better than any other line of
industry. Railroading is the most
prosperous business in the world. You
can't show any other in which divi-
dends we're so general" Shippers and
representatives of commercial organ
izations from all parts of the coun-
try will meet and protest against the
freight rate advance announced by the
western railroads and proposed by
the eastern companies.
