The substantial accuracy of these figures
liz not questioned by the applicant. either
by evidence or in its brief
Canal Serious Rival.
The commission also discusses the APP
preaching completion OF the barge or Erie
Canal The evidence before it shows that
IL will be completed ready for traffic from
Buffalo TO Watervliet by the year 1915. and
that its probable capacity will be about
100000 OF tons Of freight annually. Up
on the effect of the completion Of this
canal the commission says:
1t is obvious. however. that the capacity
To handle fifteen million tons easily
through this canal Will have most tre-
nIendous effect upon the freight situation.

look or disregard. The canal s we'll suited

is. certainly factor which must be reck-
oned with in considering the financial sue
cess or the proposed road. Its existence IL
absolutely assured. II will compete for the
Identical freight from which the proposed
road expects TO derive nine-tenths OF its
revenues. IL Will be able TO transport such
freight AZ lower rate than the applicant.
These facts cannot be ignored and must
have weight in reaching a just conclusion

WILL DISCUSS LABOR LAWS
State Federation Displeased at Legis
lature, Call Intimates.

The American Federation Of Labor unions
in this city have received a call for the
fifteenth annual convention Of the New
York State Federation Of Labor. which is
organized 10 keep tab on labor legislation.
ipport measures in favor Of labor, oppose
measures unfavorable 70 labor and note the
attitude Of each member Of the legislature
toward such measures. The convention
will open IN Oswego on September 70. In
a statement which accompanied the call
Secretary Bates said:
The session of the Legislature which al
journed IN July failed TO give US the legis-
lation we most desired. The officers Of the
federation had high hopes that the Legs
lature would make an effort 10 remedy the
injury done us by the Court Of Appeals IN
declaring the Workmen G compensation act
unconstitutional BY passing the Dill we In
PRODUCED enabling us TO appeal 10 the peo-
pie Of the state to change the constitution.
But the lawmakers LETT IL IN the hands OF
the Senate as unfinished business TO be
taken ND in September. The same fate
befen the bill limiting the hours OF labor
for women and children n the factories OF
the state 10 nine hours "a day, which Is
known as the Jackson ifty-four-hour Dill.

as 70 whether the proposed road wouin
necessarily be bankrupt from the outset
The question next discussed is whether
the applicant has shown sufficient IMAM
cial ability TO Justify giving permission Tor
the construction OF It's road. IL is pointed
out that at the time Of making the apph-
cation for rehearing the applicant con-
coded that the commission WAS entirety
right in regarding the question cf financial
ability as a serious and fundamental mat
ter
1t is then shown that no new evidence or
any kind having any legitimate weight
tending to show the financial ability 81 the
applicant was given upon the rehearing
All OF the evidence that was offered Is
quoted at length and is characterized oy
the remark. "A claim that the evidence
above cited In full affords any light 10 this
commission upon the power OF the ap-
plicant TO raise 500 100000 is too ludicrous
and absurd TO require discussion.

Reviews the Complaints.

The commission also reviews the number
OF complaints that have been received by
II from shippers during the year 1910 also
during the year 1911. down to June -. and
declares that these complaints DO not in
dictate any chronic DELAYS or congestion n
any point. Attention Is called 20 the fact
that no complaint whatever was made
upon the hearing regarding the passenger
service given by the New York Central,
and also that with only one break between
Little Falls and Fonda. there is first
class. high speed trolley service the whole
length OF the state from Troy 70 Buffalo.
The next question If fact reviewed by
the commission is whether the proposed
road would he hopelessly bankrupt. II calls
attention 70 the fact that the cost OF the
road. II 1. Is n pa a per cent return.
would require a gross operating revenue of
sl4 1854. which would necessitate a gros-
operating revenue mile OF $500 The
commission refers n its opinion upon the
former hearing as 70 whether II would bo
possible for the proposed road 20 earn
gross revenue Of as, l0o mile, and then
takes ~ the evidence submitted on the re-
hearing Upon the rehesrng evidence was
submitted giving A complete analysis OF all
Of the freight business ~ the New York
Central for the year 1903 which could By

pared showing all Of the freight handled by
the Central during the year 1879. which the
proposed road might have handled had 1t
beer in existence: the sources from which
II was derived. and the place or places 20
which IT was consigned were also given.
Upon this the commission remarks:
Transating the situation into dollars and
cents, the account would stand as follows.

the Buffalo Rochester & Eastern would
secure every pound OF freight except that
which n is certain the Central had al
