BYRNES LOOKS AHEAD
New Haven Road Official Sees Gov.
eminent Running the Railroads.

Boston, Jan. 14-tIt looks as if the
time is coming when the government
will run the railroads. said Vice
President Timothy E. Byrnes of the
New York. New Haven & Hartford
Railroad, in addressing a. meeting of
conductors yesterday. THE govern
ment now regulates the income of the
roads, the next step will be to regu-
late the working of the roads and to
fix their schedules and time cards
After that the logical step will be to
fix wages and hours of labor for the
men, he added.
AIr. Byrnes pleaded with the conduc-
tors for greater corporation and help
on Their, part. Railroad men should
come to the front and demand fair
play fo1, the railroads. he added.
In concluding his address Mr.
Byrnes said:
1.-The Boston & 5Eaine and the New
Haven railroads are not united as they
should be to give better service" He
made no suggestions for Improvement,
however.

cattle on sale commanded good, strong

only thing that will prevent Chicago from
having a very mean market the coming
week will be a moderate run Of cattle.
AS matter of course a dull and lower
market at Chicago will have more or
less depressing effect upon Missouri river
