The government. Mr.. Mather said, has
thus far confined itself to limiting the
earning power of the roads, and has in
that way affected their credit. Mr. Mather
said that instead of the impairment of
credit. which the present regulative proc
esses entail, the government ought TO see
( 10 it that railroads can earn fair returns
on capital.
He thought the government ought TO
lend its credit to the maintenance of
the railroads and the production of such
facilities as are needed in emergencies.
State regulations, he said, might hinder
needed railroad developments, and in that
way interfere with the proper conduct of

Mr.. Trumbull was in favor OF physical

POTASH CONFERENCE HELD.
Matter Goes over for Meeting of the
Cabinet To-day


An important conference on the potash
dispute between the American fertilizer
interests and representatives OF the Ger
man potash syndicate was held at the
State Department yesterday.
Those present were Secretary of State
Knox. Vice President Shaw, of the In
ternational Agricultural Corporation:
WaldemaT Schmidtmann. OF Germany. a
representative Of the German potash
mines, which agreed 20 furnish potash to
the American fertilizer companies, and NJ
II. Davis. commercial expert OF the Bu-
reau of Trade Relations.
II is understood that Messrs. Schmidt
mann, owners Of the independent potash
mine take sides with the holders of the
American fertilizer concerns, with which
they had contracts TO furnish potash at a
low price. The subject will probably receive
further consideration at the meeting OF
tn Cabinet this morning.
Many members of Congress from
Southern and Western States have urged
the President 10 take drastic action to
compel the German government to pro-
tect the contracts Of the American fer
ulizer concerns. The President and Sec
rotary Knox stil have the matter under
consideration.
