last month for which we have statistics.
The roads up TO the first Of July had
fallen practically $500, 900 900 below the
standard return guaranteed by the Gov
eminent But in the month of July
there was an excess of s2,000,000.
THE shopmen's increase of only 1
cents an hour involves n total additional
expenditure in operation of $45,000,009
nov ornum. and when one demand is
allowed the inevitable tendency Is for
ONE organizations to put in demands,
and the cumulative effect of the grant
Ing of these demands will be an in
creased deficit in the treasury.
III that be true what is the inevitable
conclusion7 This and this only: The
demand on the part OF the Director
General for an increase of the rates
which may be from Is to % per cent.
The Increase of rs per cent. in June last
involved an additional burden upon the
shippers of the United States of almost
81, 900, 000, 900.
What this bill does in such an emer-
gency is to give to some regulative body
the power OF passing upon the business
and reasonableness OF such an increase
OF the rate level, n body which by rea-
son of its experience and its equipment
and its service can promptly and with
due regard to conflicting interests and
to rival territory make wise adjust
ment of the rate level.
I'VE believe that this bill provides
that relief in restoring to the commits
sion the power to suspend the increase
ordered by the President through the Di.
rector-General until 1t shall have had
the power and the time to consider the
effect OF the rate levels and the business
OF such, increase"

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Myers's
tMont.) proposal to stop the pay of any
policeman of the District of Columbia
who remains affiliated with organized
labor was characterized to-day by Sam
uel Gompers. president Of the American
Federation of Labor, as mot only un-
necessary but unjust and unwise." He
told the Senate District of Columbia
Committee the federation would serve
as a check on any untoward act of the
police.
Inadequate salaries, injustice and mis-
treatment, Gompers said, had caused the
police of the country to respond with
extraordinary promptness to the oppor-
tunlty given them to affiliate themselves
with organized labor. He suggested that
the only other organization to which
police might turn was the 1. w. w.

CHICAGO. Sept. 24.-Theodore w. Rob-

Company, subsidiary OF, the United
States Steel Corporation, in an address
to-day before the American Institute of
Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, de-
clared "the steel strike is foreign radi-

the strike was 1.-The fight of a militant
minority to try to force class distinction

STEEL MEN BOUGHT
$53,923,I5O IN BONDS
Strikers Believed to Have
Vast Sum; Gary Silent.

Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of
the board OF directors Of the United
States Steel Corporation, yesterday
maintained his policy of silence with
reference to the strike. He saw the
newspaper men as usual, but declared
there were no developments upon which
he could comment.
Considerable interest has attached to
the financing Of the strike, and in this
connection there has been much uues-
ton as to the number OF Liberty bonds
owned by the employees of the Steel
corporation. It was learned yesterday
that many Of these were subscribers to
the various loans. The corporation and
its subsidiaries received subscriptions
Tor the Third Liberty Loan from 49,
S74 employees, or II per cent. of the
total employed at that time. The total
amount of subscriptions for that loan
was S14,O2S.000. In the fourth loan the
number of employees subscribing rose
to 2O2,14O, or so per cent of the total
and the amount taken was $22,s71. 500
In the Victory Loan 1888, or 81 ner
cent OF the employees, subscribed for

the companies judgment and policy,
said Mr.. Gompers. "No one could inter-
pose q valid objection to tho welfare
fund as provided In the Cummins bill,
but welfare work cannot be regarded as
substitute for wages. What the work
ingmen want is their money in their pay
envelope to provide themselves with all
that sort Of thing.
This proposition would undertake to
ALLEVIATE statements of self and mutual
felp. One Of the provisions Is to have
a sort of benevolent society among the
employees by which they may be given
enc or two weeks benefit or the payment
OF sick benefits. The whole scheme is
designed and intended to overthrow the
new found freedom OF the workingman.'
Mr.. Gompers objected to the insurance
features and the old age benefits. par
ticularly for the reasons that they are
deterrents to the organization OF unions
'"They help not to give loyal service
but continuous service" he said. "There

The president Of the federation then
went on to say that conditions in the
steel centres were bad. The attitude of
the employers was autocratic. They
mad, he asserted, employed violent
methods to prevent the spread of fedora

Representative Esch (wis.). chairman
Of the House Interstate Commerce Com

iii declared there was every indication
that the President would make another
increase in rates II he were allowed to
etain the supreme rate making power.
He pointed to the fact that IL the steel
strike continued for any length of time
freight revenues would be greatly re-
Cuced because of the decreased produce
ton that would result, steel and all its
allied products being a large source OF
return for the railroads. This, with the
increases that had been granted the
shopmen and the demands the other
brotherhoods would make for higher
wages. would cause such deficit that
higher rates would be the easiest way
cut for the Railroad Administration, Mr..
Esch indicated.
