WESTERN BUSINESS
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
Volume of Tonnage Handled
by Railroads of Healthy
and Staple Character

Chicago. March s. Shipping over
western railroads continues considerably
under the same period year ago, The
decline, however. Is not abnormally
great because We are beginning to COM
pare with a time when war orders were
current and are making comparisons
also both on a war basis and u recon
struction period,
This situation will. no doubt. for
some time make estimates of what Is
going on in general business rather un-
reliable. IL parallels are drawn from
the corresponding period "A year ago. II
We go back to the beginning OF the re-
construction period and draw our con-
clusions from that time up to the pres
ent, probably more encouragement Will
be found in a trade report
The loading reports of the, various
western roads indicate more diversified
ton than heretofore, and the volume OF
tonnage handled appears TO be or a
healthy and staple character.
Mercantile and Industrial activity is
still under curtailment because OF many
uncertainties which have not been
cleared up, both with reference to the
peace situation and the labor outlook.
Ultimately, of course, II Is believed
that both OF these important questions
will be clarified to the satisfaction OF
everybody, but time must elapse. natu-
rally, before all Of the disturbing ele-
ments can be removed.

ANTI-VARE FORCES
WANT LATER PRIMARY
Independents Will Ask Legis-
lature to Move Date Back
to September %

Enactment of Legislation to change
the date OF the fall primary from Sep
ternber II TO September 20 will be urged
by independents opposed to the Wares
Fixing Of the primary for September
would give the independents more
opportunity TO scan the voting lists fol-
lowing the last registration day on Sep
tember 3. After the 1917 primary the
independents were denied access TO the
voting lists.
George W. Coles. chairman OF the
Town Meeting party. says so little time
elapses between the final registration
day and the primary that the registra-
tion commissioners do not have an op-
portunity to issue n list of registered
voters.
We want TO change the Uniform
primary act in this respect" said MIR,
Coles. in order to provide more ac-
commodstion for the voters. As in the

REDUCTION IN PRICES
Big FACTOR IN STEEL
Subject to Be Discussed at
Meeting Held in Washing
ton Next Wednesday

New York, March S.-What is ex-
tant factor in the steel industry. so far
as the future is concerned is the meet
ing scheduled TO be held next Wednes-
day in Washington between the men,
bers of the Industrial board of the De-
partment of Commerce and the commit
tee OF steel men appointed at the gath
ering of iron and steel manufacturers
held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on
Thursday.
Although no information as to what
will take place at the Washington meet
ing has come TO the steel men, there
are some who believe that the govern
ment's representatives will recommend
reduction in quotations. and II is not
improbable that the cut will be drastic.
However. such a step will be opposed
by the steel men.
Ii Is felt in the trade that some re-
duction in prices would not be amiss If
II aided in developing business, but II
is also stated emphatically that there Is
no reason for any drastic cut in prices,
mainly because virtually all the steel
companies have good orders on their
books to he filled which will keep them
occupied until contracts come in more
freely.
The steel men are willing to accept a
reasonable reduction in steel prices pro-
vided the government departments Will
come into the market for their require
ments and make an announcement TO
that effect. 1t is felt that such step
would result in causing a confident feel
ing among regular consumers of steel
products and bring them into the mar
! ket for their needs.
Another point will have 10 he de-
cided and that is that the government
authorities will assure the steel COM
mittee that the fixing of prices VIII not
bring about a conflict with the De-
partment OF Justice, but this could be as
sured, it is believed, because the action
would be taken as the result Of recon-
mendations from a government body
Conditions In the steel trade are sat
isfactory. 1t is stated that the labor
question is working out in good shape
due to the fact that many of the lead
ing companies are contipung production
at a comparatively high rate which Is
keeping the men employed and in gooc
, spirits,
