RAILROADS USUAL BLUFF

President Taft had the attorney general to take the
legal steps to prevent the railroads from In
creasng the rates and thereby further distressing the
nrodcers and of the country and at once the
railroad magnates ordered all construction work stop
ned. which threw something like $1,000 men out of
employment in the West. The railroad magnates nave
resored to the same political strategy in the past and
II sboud therefore give no one any alarm The rail-
road companies are going to push their lines wherever
business demands it. If they cannot rob the people
rates they are going to get all they can but they are
not going 10 stop going after the business Tuning
this large number of men out of employment is not
done because the railroad companies have been losing
money at the rate they have been charging, but to
cause alarm among politicians and make the president
back down from his purpose Of preventing the rail-
roads from increasing their rates the freight they
haul to and from their patrons The railroad folk seem
to have the idea that the success of the United States is
dependent on them operating their various railroad
