WAR AFFECTS
SILK INDUSTRY
Special to the Evening Star.

PATTERSON, Oct. 10.-This city is
just beginning to feel the effects of
the European war. More than one
quarter of the silk manufacturing
firms here will begin part time work
Monday.
Notice to this effect was posted
today In various mills throughout
the city. A number of the mills will
start work at 8 a. m and $3.50, and
close at 4 p. M
One manufacturer, speaking of The
change today, said it was due to the
scarcity in the money market.
Previous to the war" he said,
silk manufacturers could get 30
per cent payment on their. goods
when they made deliveries at their
commission houses. The balance
would be paid when the goods we're
sold. But now" he continued, "the
best we can get is 20 per cent.
payment, and there's no telling when
we can get the balance. Such condi-
tons make things bad in the silk in-
dustry and force us to cut down.

yesterday that there was nothing in

RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to

|
Their Needs.
Inc committee of railroad execu-
tlVes, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent.
~ presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
nculties now confronting the railroads
OF the country and asking for the CO.
operation of the governmental authori-
Ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
OF the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
conf1agration when the flames meet
is apparent to all In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: by reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty eight states
acting independently of each other, as
well as through the action Of a strong
public opinion, railroad expenses I'M
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory of governmental regula-
ton, but on the other hand, no In
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement Of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tinuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the. attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
am glad to do so because l think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to new world of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings of commissions and financing
railroads is one of them. The man
with the money is factor that can ,
not be eliminated from any business
and the public is an inter-
ested party that should always be con-
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu-
ton of our railroad problems.
