NEW YORK, June "a heavy vol
ume OF liquidation, such as has not de-
veloped in Wall street since the big
break of February, caused general do
ings in the stock market today. While
Wall street was Historically throwing
its stocks on the market London was
picking up the bargains.
It is estimated that during the last
three days nearly 250,o0o shares of
American securities have been boughtfor
European account. This is accepted in
banking circles as refutation of the
claim made by several railroad presi-
destroyed the European market for
American railroad securities.
LONDON HEAVY BUYER
The quotations for American stocks
in London were above the New York
parity throughout the day. London
bought large blocks of United States,
Atchison; Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul, Union Pacific and Reading.
Liquidation in Union Pacific, in Read
ing, In St. Paul and in New York Gen.
trail was on an enormous scale. On
sales of nearly $4,000 shares Reading
broke from 1859 to $50; Union Pacific,
on sales of 1S5,o00 shares, declined from
175 to 16S.
TRANSACTIONS IN STEEL
There was good support in steel
throughout the day, and Morgan brok-
ers were credited with the heaviest
purchases. The total transactions in
steel common were 335,000 shares, the
price fuctuating between 1914 and rs II
There was persistent report through
out Wall street today that John D.
Rockefeller and other Standard oil men
were heavy sellers of stock. This story
was not credited in conservative circles,
but it added to the fears of the timid
holders of securities, many of whom
sacrificed their stocks, which were
picked up by the bargain hunters who
thronged the offices of the stock ex-
change brokers today.
The bankers of Wall street declared
that the declines of today and the days
proceedings were just what the situa-
tion needed. Enormous amounts of
money that had been tied up on margin
speculation have been released.

who was connected with the Knicker-
booker trust company at the time it
failed in 1908 and also is said to have

join. Why this is so may be briefly
stated in terms that the man in the
street, in the workshop and on the
farm can understand and appreciate.
In the end it is this man in the street
who must bear the brunt of any dis
aster that befalls the American railway
system"
MAN IN THE STREET
Then, for the benefit of the man in
the street, Thompson quotes railroad
statistics as far back as 1897 to prove
the contention that the railroads face
ruin unless rates are raised. These
statistics will be printed in pamphlet
form and widely distributed.
Thompson declares that the shippers
have been grossly deceived and charges
the Associated Shippers bureau of Gin
cinnati with practicing the deception.
For more than 20 years." declared
Thompson, "the charge has never been
made seriously that average freight
rates on American railways were un-
reasonable.
SAYS RATES ARE REASONABLE
"On the contrary. it is the testimony
of all investigators that they are the
lowest in the world. If they have been
reasonable for 20 years and the service
is more costly now than ever, it is self
evident that any slight advance now
can not make them unreasonable.
The resolutions adopted by the IL
linois Manufacturers association charge
the officials of certain railroads with
being in a concerted movement to make
the people believe that the shippers
and consumers are making unfair de-
mands and that another financial crisis
is impending.
The manufacturers call upon the peo-
pie to hold up the hands of the gov
eminent and demand that the whole
question of the advance of the reduc-
tfon of freight rates shall at this time
and at all future times be presented to
the interstate commerce commission for
final, adjudication
MORGAN FORCES CONFERENCE
After two days of effort in Chicago
George w. Perkins of the firm of j. P.
Morgan & Co. of New York. who, it is
said, was sent here to smooth over the
trouble between the railroads and the
shippers. left for the east tonight, hav-
ing induced the shippers to meet west
ern railroad presidents next Tuesday
Perkins acted as the mouthpiece of
the bankers, it is said. and forced the
railroad presidents to ask the confer
ence. He attempted to impress upon the
railroad presidents that 1t did no good
to talk panic and insisted that they
must confer with the shippers and try
TO smooth out their differences ami
cably.
Upon the manufacturers Perkins at
tempted to impress the fact that the
railroads were being pushed too far and
that the financial situation was exceed
ingly grave on account of the attitude
of the government toward the railroads.

Members Trials Revealed
The minute book of these meetings
reveals the trials of members for un-
derseTing. There is scarcely a meet
ing without the disciplining OF some
member.
An interesting case is that OF D.
Figone, a gardener who was accused
of selling turnips. beets and carrots at
a price under that set by the commit
tee. The purchaser was a Sausalito re-
taller. Figone was called before the
committee on the evening of July of
made by him. but by his partner. In a
further plea for Iehiency he said the
vegetables were stale and of an infe-
rior quality. Nevertheless. as a matter
of discipline. he was fined s5 at the
meeting of July 10.
A recent trial is that OF A. Rafetta,
who disposed of some of his products
under the schedule price. Rafetta was
hailed before the board on the 18th of
last month. On May Il At WdS HtlCu

Expelled Men BlackliSted
When a member is expelled he goes
on the blacklist. This means that he IS
denied the use of the Colombo market.
and so far as the trust can act any
market at all.
One of these boycott notices sent out
by the committee reads in translation:
''Notice-The members of this society
are hereby notified that the here named

from membership in good standing be-
cause of violating the sOciety's cOnsti-

DRASTIC RETRENCHMENT

On behalf of the railroads, Slason
Thompson. head of the railroad pub
Iicity bureau. put forward -four reasons
why railroad rates must be raised
According to Thompson, the rail-
roads in the last two years are $780,
100000 behind on maintenance; they
paid $3.50, 100000 more annually for
labor; they paid 500. 100000 more an
nually for interest; they lost $25 .000, 900
annually on passenger traffic, with the
result that they are $3.50, 100000 to the
bad in two years.

New Mexican Rifle.

Mexico has recently adopted a new
automatic rife, the invention of Gen
eral Mondragon, for her troops. 1t
is self-loading, but not self-fring, and
the charge is ten shots. The armies
of all civilized countries are now ex-
perimenting with automatic arms,
but Mexico seems to be the first one
to solve the problem of a practical
rifle Of this class. The Mondragon
weighs but slightly more than the
Springfield of the United States
Army, and its mechanism is said to
be simple and practical, in that it
will stand much hard usage When
