SERIOUSNESS OF
RAILROAD STRIKE
BUSINESS HIT HARD-iNABlLlT
TO SECURE THE BILLS OF d.
LADlNG FOR GOODS
Said to compIicate Settlement Of Ac.
counts-Raw Materials Tied Up En-
Route Given as Cause For Closing
Manufacturing Plants

New York-The paralyzing effect of
the railroad strike is still the principal
feature in practically all lines, aspe'
cially in the large manufacturing in
dustrieS. Although great deal is
heard about men returning TO work
and a resultant increase in the car
supply, the fact is that cars remain
extremely scarce in practically all
quarters. Inability to ship goods has
now reached the point in dry goods
markets where action is being taken to
relieve the financial burdens that are
being imposed. Some houses are send
ing out circulars calling the attention
of customers to the difficulties of de-
lays and the troubles in meeting pay
ments because bills Of lading can not
be secured. They are asking co-Opera-
ton to the end that these burdens
of delayed payments shall be borne
as equally as may be- Notice has been
given by some of the tire manufac-
turers they are unable to get cloth
shipped to them and their factories
must be closed. Hence, they ask for
delay. in any attempt to ship goods.
On the other hand some manufacturers
of the fabrics are unable to get coal or
yarn and are being forced to close.
One of the largest jobbing houses in
the country has fully $3,000,000 worth
of goods tied up en- route from mills
and is in the position where retail GUS
toners can not be supplied because the
needed goods are not in stock. This
is a reflection of similar conditions in
a great many mercantile, as we'll as
manufa curing, institutions and relief
can come only when transportation
conditions are improved. Many eff
forts are being made to prevent any
spread of anxiety in the markets.
Those who are prone TO rush to bro
kerS to offer goods for the sake of get
ting profit are being discouraged
and even advised to sit still and let
the situation work itself out. The un-
even distribution of goods makes it
next to impossible for merchants to
say positively whether general scar
city is real or only temporary. 1mpa-
thence was shown in many places in
the markets with the proposal to hold
parades for the display of novelties in
denims and other goods that the wear
ers will discard when the bands stop
playing. If the paraderS would stay
at work, or decline to buy the goods
they do not need, the dry goods mer-
chants say things will right themselves
in little while. Most merchants do
not require to be told by paraders
that prices are too high. They have
stated and restated it persistently.
So long as the public will pay the
prices and follow the spectators who
bid up prices merchants will continue
to be forced to lift prices to basis
of replacement costs.

BOYS. LOST IN MOUNTAINS
WANDER INTO CAMP

Ray Russell, Is years old ani Lynn
Howard. "a years old. were lori In the
Black Range from Saturday az the
week before last until the following
Thursday. On deer hunt, they had
made their camp four miles south of
the Grand Central mine. The noun
tains have been unusually dry this
year and they left camp TO find n can
yon with water In Il. They became con-
fused In n drizzling rain and wandered
Iup and down several canyons without
| finding their camp and Finally crossed
| the divide 10 within seven miles OF
Lake Valley. To keep warm they walk
| ed all the first night. sometimes crawl
ing down mountains ON their hands
and knees. They obtained food at a
cabin and left their names. with the
information that they were lost. on the
table together with 81 to pay for the
supplies taken. They followed the Hot
Springs-Kingston ranger trail. but took
1t up the mountains instead OF down.
Part OF the ground they covered was 30
racky that their trail could be followed
by searchers with difficulty and on top
of the range the ground was frozen
and they left little for the trailers TO
follow. The wonder Is that they did
not freeze to death, for they were not
heavily clad and their matches had
been rendered useless In the rain that
soaked their clothing.
When they had crossed the Black
Range they met a man who directed
them back TO the Grand Central mine
and they retraced their steps over the
Black Range and found the mine. Tom
Lea Of III Paso was there and told
them that rescue party was In camp
nearby and they walked into camp APP
parently none the worse for their ex-
periences.
The relief party meanwhile had
searched diligently for the lost boys.
covering the aimless trails that led
over some of the widest mountains OF

THE PRICE OF PROGRESS

I'VE have made great progress"
Let's see. Hanna and the state

That cannot he victory.
But the county has been returned Is
the control OF Frank A. Hubbell. with
the assistance OF Mr.. Magee.
Perhaps that Is the great victory 10
which the Journal refers.
The people OF Bernalillo county al
parently have accepted Mr.. Magee..s
assertion that Hubbellism il a spectre.
They apparently decided that II was
safe 10 elect his seven candidates Ia
