BUSINESS
OUTLOOK rs
BRIGHTER

The outlook for an upturn in the
businss of the railroads of the country
is growing brighter, according TO
George Sherwood Hodgins who has
contributed an article on THE Railway
Situation at the Close of 1911, to the
December number of American fndus-
tries.
Mr. Hodgns adds. however. that no
very startling or sudden revival Of
business is expected by those best
qualified to speak.
I'VE have the right to believe" he
continues. that when once we get the
ship on an even keel political ag1ta-
tors will not be allowed to shift the
ballast at their pleasure. We nave been
passing through s>rying phase of in
dustria evolution and TIE result wisi
ultimately be of tie greatest a6vEg,t-
age Prosperity is bound to come back.
but like the rising tide. it is marked
by broken line made by many on
coming and receding waves. The line
of this advancing tide, irregular
though it be, need not deceive US. Be-
hind the eddies and slack waters of
trade there d the growing feeling OF
condence which must win and which
shows us that the tide has at last turn

FUND TO WIDOWS.

When the Mcnamara brothers
We're arrested on the charge of
dyna amiting the Los Angeles Times
building members of the various Ia
Dor unions over the country be-
lieved them to be innocent
They rightfully determined to
raise enough money to provide a
defense for them that would be
equal to that which would be pit
ted against them by the state of
California. If the men were inno-
cent union labor intended to go the
limit in clearing them of the
charges. It is said that this fund
was close to $4,000. of which $780,
600 has already been spent. A bal
ance of $4,000 remains.
Since these traitors to the cause
of unionism have admitted their
guilt and have proven themselves
unworthy of the sacrifice which
asunian labor has made for them, THE
TIMES suggests that the Balance Of
this fund be paid over to the Wild
ows of the men who were murdered
as partial compensation for the
terrible loss they have suffered.
By this act union labor will prove
itself not in sympathy with such
acts of violence in which the lives
of innocent persons are sacrificed
and perhaps the fund will be suffi-
cient.to keep the families of the VIC
tins of this terrible crime from
want
The gift could be accepted by
these sorrowing widows as an evil
dence of the fact that the unions of
the country desire to show in some
practical way the sympathy that
goes out to them from the hearts of
the hundreds of thousands of union
men who do not believe that murder
is means to an end in furthering
the progress of the labor movement
THE TIMES further suggests that
the secretary of every labor union
in the Calumet region at once send
a telegram TO the secretary of the
American Federation of Labor sug
gestine this disposition of the funds
remaining.

under the kind treatment of the sisters
his health was again partially restored.
He left the hospital after five weeks
but on November 18Th. it was again

his old age much longer. His health
failed rapidly beginning this week, and

however. and listened intently to the
prayers that were recited to him by
a sister at his bedside The progress
