Opinions on Railroad Rate Set
IA Element are at Variance.
EXPRESSED VIEWS DIFFER
Railway Presidents Do Not Agree on
outlook and Cause Confiict-Mueh
Attention Is Given to Reported
Earnings of Lines Latest Received.
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK. June S.-There was
some speculative hesitation reflected
in the action OF today's stock market
vance of the day before and partly
to the conflict OF opinion over the SIT
uation created by the railroad rate
settlement. The contrary views ex-
pressed by railroad executives them
selves was responsible for the conflict
OF opinion. especially the announce
ment by President Brown, of the New
York Central, that work calling tor
$5,000,0O0 expenditure and orders for
freight cars, which had been -.eld up
as a result of the rate injunction,
would be resumed in contrast WIN
the assertion OF President Ripley, OF
the Atchison, that his company would
not depart in any degree from the
policy of retrenchment decided upon
after the action of the government
against the rate advances.
Much attention was gwen to the
question of railroad earnings as they
would be affected by the postpone
ment of rate advances until approved
by the commerce commission and the
probable period of that postponement.
That the advances would ultimately
become effective was the usual as
sumption Railroad earnings for
March are the latest for which COM
prehensive returns have been receiv-
ed by the commerce commission from
9S per cent of the total mileage OF the
country. The increase in gross earn
ings in that month, over March OF
last year, were shown TO be S31 $780,
800. or 1854 per cent and in net So
900. 900 or 11.62 per cent. The May

considerations in restricting immigra
ton should be waived because Of the
adverse effects on wages and living
conditions which the large numbers Of
aliens have had in recent years by
their entry into the basic industries.
"The present immigration move
ment,' says the report, is in large
measure due to economic causes. but
emigration from Europe is not now an
absolute economic necessity and as q
rule those who immigrate to the
United States are impel1ed by desire
for better conditions rather than by
the necessity of escaping from intol
cradle ones. This fact should largely
modify the natural incentive to treat
the immigration movement from the
standpoint of sentiment and permit It's
consideration primarily as an eco
nomic problem"

AMERICANS PREFER LARGE
CITIES

That the average American prefers
life in large city to that on the farm
or in small town Is strikingly shown
by advance statistics from the cens,,,
bureau "says the Chicago Inter Ocean .
During the last ten years our forty
seven cities which have a population
of over 100000 each have made a gain
Of 80 per cent, slight fraction more
than the rate of increase in the preyi-
|ous decade. The aggregate population
of these cities today is 19,754,237. In
1900 it was 1891, 43O, and in 1890 it
was 1851, 220.
"The aggregate population of It's
cities, ranging from $4,000 to 100000
EACH for which the 1910 count has
been completed. is 8,055,59s. Since
1890 they have gained 2,277,157, or
1874 per cent. The cities embraced in
this group show the highest percent
age of gain, surprising the ratio of the
still larger cities by nearly per cent.
"As the natural increase in popula-
ton in this country, exclusive of i'm
migration, is about Is per cent in a
decade. the excess in the cities of over
$4,000 inhabitants makes inevitable the
conclusion that there has been an
exodus from he smaller cities, towns
and the rural districts.
Complete returns are still lacking,
but an analysis of those available
shows that there has been an increase
of less than per cent in the decade
in the region bounded on the north by
the Minnesota state line and on the
east, south and west by the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers. It is plainly ap-
parent that from this typical farming
country Of the middle west there have
been wholesale removals of farmers
and their families. The cities have
drawn the young men, while the heads
of the families who wished to continue
to follow agricultural pursuits have
been attracted by the cheaper lands in
the southwest and northwest.
what is true of the middle western
states is even wore in the east In
New York. for example, there has
been an increase since the last census
of over so per cent in the population
of cities with more than $4,000 inhabi-
tants- while the smaller cities show
loss in population ranging from Z
per cent in the 5000 class to Is per
cent in the 1000 class. In the strictly
rural sections of the empire state in
1900 there were 2,092,49O, persons
Today there are only 1888 more, the
increase in ten years being only 1lh
