The Religion Which L
Responsible for
Progress.

The religion of kindness and
sympathy and fellowship, the re-
ligion which makes us consider
the rights, the needs, and the best
interests, social, financial and
spiritual, of every human being
In our midst, whether Gentle,
Jew, orthodox or unorthodox, old
school or new school, that is the
religion which makes for progress
and a higher humanity.
So many gods, so many creeds,
So many ways that wind and
wind;
While just the art Of being
kind
Is all the sad world needs.

an increase In railroad rates he says:

past year, a. against $4,000 during tho

THE STEEL MARKET.

Reports from mill centres were Of a
more encouraging character. with re-
ports OF increasing operations from sew
eral points. The United States Steel Cor:
poration is expected to blow in three more
furnaces at its Ohio plants, which will
bring it's operations up to so per cent. of
capacity. This will be the best point
attained since the dull period set In last
fall. Bookings so far IN February exceed
those for the same period of last month.
and at the present rate good untitled
tonnage statement is looked for.
The above also holds true in some de-
gree with independent companies. The
price situation is firm. with quotations on
business for future delivery about 81 per
ton better than those of a month ago.
There exists in the trade, however. rather
keen competition for prompt delivery busi-
ness. which is causing some price cutting.

CAR BUSINESS WAITS
ON RATE INCREASE
President Of Pressed Steel Com
pany Says Roads Are Now
Too Poor TO Buy.
REPORTS A GOOD YEAR
Stock Earns 1856 Per Cent,
Against 0.78 Per Cent.
the Year Before.

Tho report OF the Pressed Steel Car
Company is interesting In view of the
fact that It's president, +. N. Hoffstot
calls upon the company's stockholders to
do all that they can to help the railroads
secure an advance In freight rates. He
adds that the company carries on its
books a little less business than It had
at the beginning of 1913, but that he feels
certain that II the roads secure the de-
sired advance in rates an impetus will
be gwen to the steel car business. The
report shows the largest increase In cara
ings ever shown by the company.
After the payment OF preferred diV.
dends there remained n surplus for the
common stock of Sl.319,S16, which was
equal to 1895 per cent earned on the
s1@,500, 900 common stock. as against o. rs
per cent. earned in 1912. Gross sales were
s3o.967.s60, against SI9.o19.403 In 1912,
with net earnings of s2.374.s16. against
Se7o.3i3. The balance after depreciation
charges was s2l9i716.
The sum OF $4,000 was reserved for
the payment of common dividends, the
drst OF which was declared not long ago,
leaving the company a balance OF S9A-
oiS, against s95,3i3 in 1912, when no
reservation was made for common div
idends nor none declared. This amount
added TO the previous surplus gave the
company total surplus OF SS,}Vo,lSns n
compared with s7,460.1s4 in 1912.
President +. n. Hoffstot says:
The output OF your plants during the
drst three months OF the year was re-
stricted owing to inability to secure SUI
hcient raw materials. but during the last
nine months of the year the plants were
operated to capacity. We feel confident
IL your customers, the railroads. secure
such an increase in freight rates as will
partially make up for the increased costs
forced upon them. your cOmpany's BUSH
ness will be given quite an impetus, par
ticularly as there has been less than
100000 freight cars purchased during
1913. and IL has been many years since
the full estimated annual requirements for
renewals tnamely, over 100000 cars)
have been purchased. In addition, II
has been publicly stated and Is well
known fact that a considera BILE number
Of the freight cars in this country are
IN bad order, that tx. they require more
or less repairs, and the railroads, by rea-
son OF the slackening of trade and a d.
minution OF earnings therefrom. have
bsen obliged to husband their resources
and have not directed that these repairs

NEW CHARGES IN U. P. FIGHT.
Stockholders Tell Of sDecalaAios s
n Opposing "Nelon.''


A new complaint In the suit Of the pre-.
ferred stockholders Of the Union Pacific
Railroad FOR AN injunction restraining
| the Union Pacific melon cutting to the
common stockholders alone WAS filed in
the Supreme Court yesterday and given
AZ grounds for the suit OF the alleged
acts OF the late E. H. Hartman.
The complaint says that the acquisition
by the company OF various lines Of rail-
road and substantial part OF The stock
In twenty eight railroad terminal and in
dustrial corporations was in pursuance OF
plan by Mr.. Hartman and acquiesced
In by his associates to dominate the
transportation business west of the Mis-
souri, River
The preferred stockholders allege that
In 1901 Mr. Hartman and his associates
iatlon ana manipulation which was carried
on with great activity up to the time
OF the death Of Mr.. Hartman"
They tell Of these speculations: Febru-
airy to July. 1901. purchased $1,000, 900
Southern Pacific common at cost Of
st:.ooo.oOo April and May. 1901. pur-
at a cost OF $SS.3O0, 900.
The Union Pacific paid for these pur-
! chascs with a 500. 900. 900 Issue Of I per
cent. bonds. which brought in SOS, 900, 900
In cash with short term notes amounting
to S27.5oo.O0o and the balance OF the
total of 3l30,000.000 with funds a. to
which the plaintiffs have no information"
The complaint says that all the stocks
immediately after their purchase were
listed among the capital assets of the
Union Pacific IN its annual reports.
For this reason. the plaintiffs say, the
Baltimore and Ohio stock to be distributed
among the coInon stockholders is part of
the capital assets OF the Union Pacific and
can't be distributed As surplus income.

SAVINGS BANKS URGE

Representatives Of savings banks have
sounded a warning that unless increased

urged to support the increased rates
movements
On the basis Of ca rnings OF the Pennsyl-
vania, New York Central and Baltimore
and Ohio for the years 1901 and 1871:
the attorneys snow IN their letter to the
Interstate Commerce Commission that the
margin of safety for bondholders has
declined from plus 81 per cent. to minus
0.3 per cent.
This margin OF safety can be restored
in but two ways," states the letter. "either
by reducing the percentage OF operating
expenses and taxes or by increasing the
amount received for the same amount of
services. 1t Is evident from the above
that an increase of service with no IN
crease in the price. will not restore
the margin Of safety. The above figures
do not show the effect Of the advance
OF wages granted to the trainmen by the
late arbitration commission.
Feeling as we do that this tendency
unless checked will become serious In
endangering the safety of this class OF
securities for savings bank funds, We feel
1t our duty to take tho liberty Of address,
