to sacrifices and did not accept one cent salary from his work as presi. dent of the road. About this time 1t was discovered that Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,. who were agents for the Harri- man road. had underwritten some s30,000.000 of the Missouri Pacific bonds.
 It was in 1909 that another of the Gould properties passed out of the control of that family This was oc- casioned when the American Tele- graph & Telephone Co. took over the Western Union
 An inkling as to the railroad situa- ton was given during last summer when the Pearson Farquhar Syndi- cate. which had been organized for the purpose of gaining control of the transcontinental road, went to smash. Among the many securities which they held were large blocks of Mis- souri Pacific and Wabash. These se- curities were taken of their hands by Kuhn. Loeb & Go. With such a large interest in the Gould roads 1t became very evident that this banking house would desire voice in the control of the affairs of so valuable a property as the Missouri Pacific. George Gould's methods of railroad manage ment had been discredited for many years and when the demand was made few weeks ago for the list of stockholders it became known at once that the fight to oust George Gould was on.
 Gould, however, realized the weak ness of his position and agreed to present his resignation at the an nual meeting of the stockholders.

ed Co.,, which was purchased by the lnterborough in 1902.
 By this time George Gould had con. verted the Missouri Pacific into a val. uable property. A control of the ma. 1ority of the stock of the Wabash car ried 1t as far east as Buffalo, and the purchase of the Denver & Rio Grande brought it west to Ogden. Utah.
 It was now time to procure a terminus at the Atlantic seaboard. His first step was to gain an en- trance into Pittsburg. which he did by securing control of the Wheeling & Lake Erie. He then began work on his Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal.
 The next step was to secure con- trol of the Western Maryland. which ran from Baltimore inland, and the West Virginia and Central Pitsburg. which ran east from the Smoky City. Between these two roads there was a slight gap. which MT. Gould proposed to bridge by building a new road. With this exception the only link necessary to complete the chain of roads from coast to coast was that from Salt Lake City to the coast, and to complete this Mir Gould started to build the Western Pacific.
 But his troubles had already be. gun. The other railroad interests. recognizing the value of the Gould properties and the serious competi. tion they would offer. had already be. gun war to oust George Gould as the head of the system As early as 1902 the young financier had severe struggle with E. H. Hartman and Ed mund Hawley for the control of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, but succeeded in worsting his opponents. The Pennsylvania bitterly opposed his entrance into Pittsburg, and so bitter did this fight become that after the erection of the Wabash Pitts burg Terminal. the Pennsylvania or dered the Western Union Telegraph Co.,. which the Goulds control, to take down their lines east of Pittsburg alone the route of that road.

 The story of this war had It's be- ginning in the early eighties. when old Jay Gould was the most power iui, as well as the most feared man m Wall Street.

 Struggle of Twenty Years.
s,,oe Death of Jay Gould In 1892 controI of Ills Many Valuable Properties Gradually Wrested
 From FamiIy-Story of War.

New York-An important chapter |. the railroad and financial history ol the country came to close at the rocent annual meeting of the share hoIders of the Missouri Pacific rail road held at St. Louis, when George Gould presented his resignation as nresident of that road, and new men were elected to succeed the repre- sentatives of the Gould interests on the board of directors.
 Thus will end twenty years war. which has been waged relentlessly by the financial giants of Wall street for control of the Gould properties; thus will George Gould's dream of controlling a coast-to-coast railroad be rudely dispelled.
 Since the death of old Jay Gould in 1892. the control of his many val uable properties has gradually been wrested from the family. First the Manhattan Elevated line was gobbled up by the Interborough; then the Western Union Telegraph Co. was absorbed by the A. T. & T. Co.,; and now the Missouri Pacific. the holding company for the Gould railroad prop critics and considered one of the most valuable of all the Gould holdings. will pass into other hands.
 But these changes were not effected without struggle. the history of which makes interesting reading.
 At every turn George Gould has met his enemies with courage born of desperation. but the odds were too great and he has at last been forced to recapitulate.
 This does not mean. however, that the Gould fortune has dwindled in size; on the contrary 1t has greatly

 The sale by auction took place by order of the official receiver. The first bid of $220.000 was made by Herr Vobes. lawyer, on behalf of Herr Kahlden. The Lubeck bank bid $250,- 900. Herr Kahlden $275.000 and Herr Gluhenstein of Hamburg $500, ,000 Herr Kahlden then bid $312,Ooo whereupon Herr Gluhenstein made the highest bid-namely. $375,000. As this amount was below the margin fixed by the official receiver another auction sale will have to be held.

Jr.. his right-hand man. and president of the Wabash. which eliminated in Ramsay's discharge At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the road several weeks later. Ramsay made hard fight to oust Gould. but was defeated.
 By his decision to build the Vest ern Pacific he again incurred the dis. pleasure of Hartman, who believed that 1t would in1ure the interests of the Southern Pacific.
 About this time considerable legis- lation adverse to the railroads was enacted in several of the western states. and on account of his lack of railroad training Gould was not equal to the situation. The stocks of his various companies were boycotted in Wall street on account of the meth ods which had characterized that end of his business. Gould was now hard pressed for money. His Wabash. Pittsburg terminal had been over capitalized. and ruin seemed inevit- able.
 The crash came with the panic of 1907. which destroyed forever his transcontinental dream. Four of his roads. the Western Maryland. Wa bash Pittsburg Terminal. the Wheel ing and Lake Erie and the Interna- tional and Great Northern. which ran into Texas. went into the hands of receivers within period of one year.
 He did not give up. however, but on the contrary began a new scheme to recuperate his properties. His first step was to patch up his differences with Hartman. which was accom- plished by the arrangements of the Western Pacific to be operated on amicable relations with the Southern Pacific. Another plan adopted for raising funds was to cut of the divi- dends from the Pacific and turn back all earnings into the com pany. Gould himself was not adverse

Congressman Victor l.. Berger
of Wisconsin, the first socialist
congressman to be elected in this
country, made an address recent
ly at Oklahoma City which has at
tracted a wide amount of atten-

In view of the fact that Mil

that the expression sof the So

with great interest at present by
people of every conviction.
Whether or no we believe in
socialism, it will be cowardly to
keep it hidden from the public
prints. 1t has become a great is

an issue you must know wherein
lies it's strength. If you are in

right to protest if it is not given

TRAIN DISPATCHERS
POORLY PAID MEN

,switchmen have received increases
in wages until any member of
these organizations earn wages
far in advance of the train dis
patcher.
There are federal laws and state
laws, in fact all laws pertaining
to the operation of trains, must
be thoroughly understood by the
train dispatcher as he IS the man
that protects the railroad COM
pany and sees to it that these laws
are not violated.
In view of the importance of
their positinos and the thousands
of lives 500 dependent upon their
brain power and watchfulness let
the train dispatchers have higher
salaries and if these are not al
lowed the best thing for the dis
patchers would be to form unions
land make contracts with railroads
which will enable them to gain at
least a moiety of what they de-
serve.
