LEAVES UNION PACIFIC.
Henry Clay Frick Retires From Di-
rectorate Of Company.

New York, N. Y. Aug. 1.-THE re-
tirement of Henry Clay Frick from the
directorate of the Union Pacific Rail-
road company was announced yester-
day afternoon. IL Is Understood he
will retire from other large corpora
tions with which he has been promi-
nently Identified for many years, in
Guiding the United States Steel COR
poration.
Friends of the capitalist and former
iron master say that his primary pur-
pose I'm retiring from active financial
life is due to his desire To take greater
ease and devote himself to other pur-
suits. IL was also minated that his
chief idea i'm getting out OF the Union
Pacific was that his activities I'm that
road often confiicted with his duties
towards the Atchison, Topeka & San
Ia Fe, In which he has very large
holdings. and i'm the Pennsylvania
railroad. Mr.. Frick's friends also de-
clare that he believes such connec-
tions to be unwise at this time when
the federal government is exercising
railroad and Industrial corporations
whose affairs are so closely inter-re-
lated
Union Pacific and Atchison are So
called competing roads at many points
and Mr.. Frlck's interest md activity
i'm the United States stool corpora
tion. which has frequently sold large
supplies TO these roads, has at times
resulted i'm adverse criticism.
Mr.. Frlck's retirement from the I'm
ion Pacific may be likened to the
withdrawal Of the Rockefeller interests
from United States Steel when John
ID. Rockefeller retired from that cor
poration I'm 1909. II was then said
that the Rockefellers deemed their
activity I'm the United States Steel cor
poration Inconsistent with their other
large corporate holdings and interests.

General business I'm the section I

Where is The Benefit?
Il find people are asking now where
they are going to be benefited by all
these disturbances, and how they are
going to be repaid for the sacrifice OF
business which has lasted more or less
for the last four years, whether the
breaking up of the big combinations is

"The copper business is better than
