FRICK SEES ROSY FUTURE.
Prosperity to Continue and Hughes to
Win, His Predictions

PITTSBURG, Sept. 16.-H. c. Frick
paid Pittsburg flying visit yesterday
and before his departure last night ex
pressed confidence that good times will
continue. He said:
1.-The financial, industrial and gen
eral situation is Just splendid; we could
not wish for better. The present evces-
sive prosperity is due to some extent
to the war, but | believe conditions will
continue good. | am sure they will un-
less we have too much labor agitation.
The railroad crisis apparently is ended
unless the Adamson bill is found uncon-
stitutional, which is not altogether inn
probable.
1.-The hostilities in Europe are certain
to drag on and on at least for year
and half more. One of the encourag-
ing conditions is the domestic demand
for steel and other industrial products.
Mr. Frick was outspoken in praise OF
Hughes and predicted his election, say
ing the results in Maine were crafty

ROAD MEN RAISED"
Central, Vermont's Employees Get
Standard Wage Paid in U. S.

1t became known recently that prob
able reason why the Central Vermont S
road employees - engineers, trainmen,
conductors and firemen-have been on
such good terms with the company is
that the latter has repeatedly raised
their wages during the last several
years. The last increase was on July
/, when the wage paid to conductors
and trainmen was made equal to that
given almost uniformly throughout the
country. Previous to this last increase
there was raise during the summer of
1910, following a threatened strike, and
another about year later.
The wages of engineers and fremen
have been increased three times in the
last five years, or four times in ten
years, according to the men themselves.
The last increase was a year ago last
spring, when, say the men, wages were
raised % to so per cent on branch lines
Of the company and 10 per cent on the
main line, the men of which had been
advanced previously. Wages for the
two classes of employees are now vir-
tually uniform on the road.
In 1905 the maximum wage given en-
gincers ON branch lines was SIS a
month; firemen $40 month. Compare
these figures with the wages paid to-
day: Yard service locomotives, engi
ncers, $4.lb a day for 10 hours or less
or go miles; firemen+f$2. 80; passenger
locomotives, engineers, $4.25 for loo
miles, or eight hours continuously, OF
II hours non-continuous service; fire
mon, $2.45 to $3.50; freight locomotives
engineers, 1915 for 100 miles or lC
hours; fremen, 1910 (minimum).
\ despatch from Montreal dated Sep
TENDER announced that the Grand
Trunk Railway company, of which tbs
Central Vermont is a subsidiary, ha6
granted an increase Of p five to eight
per cent to all road men but engineers
and frcmen.

HORTONVILLE MAN
HAS DISAPPEARED
Herbert Barrett Missing from Home
Since Monday His Wife
Fears Suicide

MOUNT HOLLY, Sept. 16.-Herbert
Barrett, about 30 years old, a farmer
living in Hortonville in this town, has
been missing from his home since Mon
dav and his wife fears he has taken his
own life. In brief note mailed at Lud-
low, which Mrs. Barrett received Tues
day morning, the missing man stated
she would never see him again, the
only motive he gave for disappearing
being that he was unable to pay his
debts.
Mr.. Barrett drove to Ludlow Mon
day morning for the purpose of selling
his butter and eggs. After disposing
of his produce he met Jerry Buckley, a
young man living on a neighboring
farm, and asked him to drive his team
home as he would be detained in Lud
low until afternoon. He stated that
he would return home on the mail train
which arrives at his station about 1.3C
clock.
Mr.. Buckley drove the team home
telling Mrs. Barrett that her husband
would return a few hours later. He die
not notice anything strange in Mr.. Bar
rctt S actions during the conversation
with him at Ludlow.
Tuesday morning Mrs. Barrett re
ceived the note mailed at Ludlow, thi,
being the last word she has heard from
him. She fears his mind was unbal
anecd through worry over his financia
lafairs and that he has made away will
himself. Mr.. and Mrs. Barrett have
son, Charles, who lives at home.

Rivers Are Now in Banks

After having been on rampage
for nearly two weeks as the result
of recent floods, the Tombigbee and
Luxapapila rivers both of which flow
near Columbus, are again within
their banks, and traffic, which to a
large extent had been impeded by
the high waters, has been resumed.
A number of important manufae-
turing enterprises are located in the
territory which was inundated, and
these were necessarily compelled to
suspend operation while their plants
were surrounded by water, now that
this water has receded, however, the
mills and factories are preparing tc
resume operation and most of then
are expectd to be running on full
time within the next few days.
