sidiaries-met with a blunt refusal when
they filed demands upon the companies
and voted to authorize the officials Of the
union to declare c strike.
! The reason prompting the refusal of
the demands Is almost too obvious for
| comment The railroads last year in
creased wages on all lines from the At
lantic to the Pacific and the Gulf to the
Lakes under an implied understanding
that advances in freight rates would be
permitted by the government. Instead,
freight rates have been reduced. The
government has displayed itself as an
advocate of the policy advocated by the
extreme radicals of making the rail-
roads burn the candle at both ends
There is as yet no proposal that wages
be reduced. though that would seem
the logical result o. a reduction Of rates.
But 1t is certain that until increases in
rates are permitted. wages will not be
increased. and II the labor unions insist
upon higher wages without higher rates
their members will undoubtedly be per-
mitted to find other employment.
Must Face Big Strike.
Mr.. Kahn. the financial director of the
Union Pacific, said when the demands Of
the labor unions were presented that the
railroads must face the labor situation
ter time than the present. Mr. Kahn
had then just returned from England
and was undoubtedly impressed with the
intensity OF the labor struggle there. The
labor question here is very closely re-
lated to that in England, for here the big
bone OF contention is as to whether or
not the railroads are to deal with a fed
GRAFTON of unions so organized that in
case employees in any one department on
any one railroad are dissatisfied they
may cause a strike on all the railroads of
the country. II was such a federation
that in England produced the extreme
discomfort and the loss of commercial
and necessities of life. to say nothing Of
that was settled there week ago
Distances are greater in this country
than in England and railroad transpor-
tation more necessary to the comforts
and necessities OF life, to say nothing OF
business urgencies. and II Is inconceiva-
BILE that the people of this country will
fail to support the railroads in q position
insuring the people against the contin-
gencies. however unlikely of a complete
suspension of traffic with it's accompany
ing business disaster and physical suffer-
ing.

While the decline in price of Union
Pacific stock was q points and that in
Steel common only II points, the depreci-
alton in the quoted market value of
Steel common almost equalled that in
Union Pacific, owing to the large amount
of stock outstanding.
On the other hand, while Reading de-
clined 10 points, the depreciation in Its
quoted market value was only s13, =
COO. because of the small amount Of
stock outstanding.
Owing to the increased number Of
sales of 100 and 200 share lots the latter
part of last week. conservative bankers
are OF the opinion that liquidation by the
big operators has ceased temporarily, and
that stocks now coming on the market
represents selling by small traders who
have become discouraged at the failure
of the market to display any rallying
power.
The talk now being heard Of probable
dividend reductions is in sharp contrast
with rumors in July of dividend in
creases. Conservative bankers do not
look for any-<Sduction in the dividends
of stocks like Atchison, Southern Pa
cific, Union Pacific. and Steel, owing to
the fact that the margin of safety above
dividend requirements the past year was
such that earnings would have to fall
