btlliancy carried Evans OF his feet.

crack when pressed. Anderson pressed
him like he had never been fought he

brilliant work OF the morning round.
Toward the end of the outward Jour.
ney Travers had a streak OF bad luck
and only his wonderful putting saved
him on numerous occasions. Despite the
threatening weather. the gallery In
creased to about $40. and the ofYlcials

himself together and won the eighth

NEW YORK, April THE New York

case decision might be banded down
shortly after noon. With light trading
went small changes in prices with a
predominance of slight losses. The
weak feature of the market was
American Beet sugar. This stock
opened three points under the close and
failed to recover. The Pacific rails
were strong, Great Northern and st.
Paul showing gains. Northern Pacific
holding even, and Union Pacific showing
half-point decline and Southern Pa
cific a decline of a point and frac-

1t is reported from London that the
South African governments loan Of

ing that he estimated the loss by
flood to his road at between 81. 500, 900
and 100000 The loss to all rail-

$50, ,000, 900, and added that they will
be lucky IL they get off with that
much. Mr. Willard has just made an
inspection tour of the flood districts in

York office of the company that SO far
as he is able to estimate the losses to
physical property, including the Chi
cago lines. from the recent floods will
not exceed $25O000. This is a smaller
loss than was looked for when the
trouble first came Operations have
been resumed over the company's own

The Pennsylvania railroad system has
paid out a total of 81, ,36S, 7S6 in premiums
TO ,152 men, according to statement
issued today reviewing the thirteen
just completed. OF the total amount,
s6,8l9.s02 have been paid on the lines
east of Pittsburgh, and 81 04s Ss4 have
been paid on that portion of the Penn
sylvania system west of Pittsburgh.
OF those who have received pensions
8,S45 have died, so that at the present
time there are 3,so7 men on the pension
rolls of the company OF these ISIS
are on the lines east and 96+ west Of
Pittsburgh. On December 81, 1872,
there were 2s6 pensioners on the lines
east of Pittsburgh more than eighty
years of age, and of this number there
were nine who were more than ninety
years of age.
The plan, which was inaugurated un-
der the presidency of the late A. J.
Cassatt, provides that the entire pen
sion shall be paid by the company.
Every .employe must retire at the age
of seventy. In case of physical dis
ability at the age of sixty-five the en-
ploye may be retired. The pension
amounts to ] per cent of the average
salary or wage for the ten years pre-
vious to retirement, multiplied Dy the
number OF years the man has been in
the employ of the company.
No man may enter the service after
attaining the age of forty-five, so that
any man retiring at seventy thus re-
ceives at least % per cent of his aver
age annual salary of the previous ten
years. Employees retire without any
obligation whatever to the Pennsyl-
yania railroad. and many of them en-
gage in outside occupations. The only
stipulation is that they may not, under
any conditions, re-enter the service OF

TO LABOR E FINANCE

The following, compiled for the Firemen Railroad Arb
traon Board submitted for the consideration of organ
lied labor and the investors in American Securities
The American business, financial and labor world is
unsettled. Unrest, uncertainty, dread generalization
everywhere.
There are two main causes
1. Labor with its present income cannot meet its pres
ent cost of living If labor does not receive increase in
wage will be compelled to abandon its present standard of
living and to adopt costing billion dollars less yearly
If this pracicable- is not, because labor will

prosperity to "hard times"
Labor must have its increased wage-wiL have it.
The employers of abor-the Nations industies-can-
not grant iabors necessary wage increase unless
(a) They allowed to mark up the price of their
product-the necessities of the people-or unless
b) They voluntarily cut capitals Observation-Disclosures.
Marking up the price of the nations produce will not
solve the presenday problem Increased cost of the peoples
necessities will bring labor back after each markup in price,
for another increase
Dividends must be meet labor's demand 1t is
inevitable that dividends will be
1t Is the shadow of this coming that of the main
of the present generalization of the market for labor
and labors products necessities of the people, and for
capital and capitals products and bonds.
There so billions of American securities calling for
annual dividend and interest return of three billion dollars
Ten billions of these 60 billions of stocks and bonds represent

legitimate increase.
The remaining IS blionsneary go per centare fictitious

edited sheet from a vigorous Vermont
community.
IT is good to see a Vermont daily
looming UP in the lower Connecticut
valley. Vermont has a distinct indivId-
uality. Vermont needs are not Mas
sachusetts needs or New Hampshire
needs. The practical dependence of
that section of the State upon out-of
state newspapers for daily news, has
long been an unhealthy circumstance
and something very like reproach
to Vermont The Free Press extends
its warmest greeting to this newcomer
in the daily field.
The Weekly Reformer has been so
good that we are confident of the
Daily Reformer. May il reform and
reform and then reform some. Nav it
prove a financial bonanza And, what
| is vastly more, may it preserve the
/ tone, sanity and public spirit of its
community.
