crude limitations, often cheaply made

conference between Mr.. Spencer. Frank
H. Crockard, vice president of the Ten
nessee Coal. Iron and Railroad com
pany, and Frank A. Burr. general sales

Head of Illinois Central, Ac-
cOmpanied by Directors,
Here for Short Time
PROSPERITY WOULD
RESULT, HE SAYS
Points to Added Increase i'm Salaries
and Cost of Equipment as Reasons
for Raise-Youngest Son of
Hartman With Party

Ihat the purse strings of railroads will
be loosened and money will. be spent more
freely If the interstate commerce cofilmis-
sion grants the requested per cent IN
crease in freight rates, is the opinion of
Charles Fl. Markham. president of the
Illinois Central and Central of Georgia
lines, who was here yesterday, accom-
panying a party of directors over the line
Mr.. Markham said that he believed the
interstate commerce commission will
grant the increase. lie said that great
many civic bodies, magazines and news
papers that had opposed any such step
had been convinced apparently of the
equity of the claim and that the force of
such a change of opinion had not been
lest upon the members of the commits
sion.
That the commissioners wanted to know
what was best and what the people gem
orally believed, was ventured by Mr..
Markham. He said that the proposed
legislation about interlocking directorates
would not affect the control of the Cen
trail of Georgia by the Illinois Central
inasmuch as only very few of the direc-
tors of the latter are also directors of
the former line. The two lines are owned
by the same interests.
Stay Was Brief
The stay of Mr.. Markham and his party
which consisted of William Hartman. a
son of the late e. II. Hartmann Charles
A. Peabody, w, A. Brown of New York.
John Auchincloss of Chicago. and F. b.
Bowes, vice president of the Illinois Cen
trail from Chicago, was very brief. The
party reached here over the Queen and
Crescent at c o'clock and after a confer
ence with William A. Winburn, vice presi-
dent of the Central of Georgia, it was de-
cided to leave at once as the party wished
to see the roadway of the Central ell route
to Macon. After an automobile ride over
the city taking in Highland avenue and
a few other points of interest the parry
boarded the special and left for Macon.
They will go to Savannah and thence
back to their homes. Mr.. Markham said
that he would try and return through
Birmingham for the purpose of spending
a day, if possible. However he could not
make any definite statement in reSard to
his return.
Mr.. Markham and the members of his
party seemed to be inclined to hopeful
ness. They did not preach hard times or
any dark outlook. but said generally
speaking the situation was far from bad
The only thing Mr.. Markham said he
wanted badly was the Increase in the
rates charged by railroad companies for
transportation.
"In the past few years" he said. There
has been a steady increase in the cost
of living, which has forced us to in
crease the compensation of our employees.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-01-17

If that is done there will be a ma rlxed
increase in prosperity. The railroad DIS
will take on new life, purchases will be
made without delay and we will have a
general good year l firmly hope that this
| will be done"
1T is encouraging to note that a
great many bodies of a civic nature,
magazines and newspapers have taken
up this request of the railroads and
are rendering great help to us In the
matter. They were formerly opposed to
granting the increase. This being true.
| / think their action bespeaks a change
for the better which will eventually
result in our receiving this concession
from the hands of the officers.
'As to any plans for betterments
that we have that is all held up 1t
may be safely assumed that nothing of
very extensive nature will be start
ed until the request anent the rate in
crease is decided. Railroads are accus-
toned to look ahead and make their
plans to be subsequently executed if
proper. We have plans affecting Bir-
ngham but they are not matured and
as to such matters l cannot make any
statement"
In reference to the trip now being
made Mr.. Markham pointed out that
such trips We're frequently made over
the lines for inspection which was the
reason for this trip excepting the added
necessity of escorting the members of
the board of directors over the lines.
Harriman's Son Visitor
The party as stated included Will
liam Hartman. who succeeded his
father on the Illinois Central board. He
is the youngest member of the board.
He appeared yesterday to be very much
interested in this trip which is the
first one he has made over the lines
once controlled by his father He was
enthusiastic over the natural beauty OF
Highland avenue yesterday morning
and said there appeared to be no good
reason why Birmingham should not be
a greater city within a short time He
is. with his mother Mrs. r. II. Har-
riman managing the vast estate left
by Mr.. Hartman.
The absent members of the party in
cluded Cornelius Vanderbilt, Judge Rob-
ert Lovett and Governor Dunno of
Illinois. who is a director by virtue
of the laws of that state. There was
considerable regret expressed yesterday
that Mr.. Vanderbilt was absent as he
has always In the past been one of
the members of the party.
The party headed by President Mark. :,
ham was Joined here by Col Alexander
Lawton. vice president of the Central
of Georgia; william A. Winburn, vice
Noise, general manager.
r. B. Bowes, vice president of the
Illinois Central. In charge of traffic,
remained In Birmin CHAM, and was
visitor of many prominent men yester-
day. He was guest of r.. f. Stovall,
general agent of the Illinois Central
