EVEN THE RAILROADS HAVE
THEIR TROUBLES

A gentleman complains that the rail-
roads are exercising a very great
power that is adverse to speeding up
business.
Why, he asks, do the big lines of the
east withhold their steel orders? Why
don't they do their part toward pro-
noting industry instead of taking
their own sweet time. Everybody
knows they need rails, new cars, new
ties, new everything from a spike to
a bridge. If they'd only get in the
game and get the mills and the fac
tories busy why there'd be a big start
toward speeding up every business.
Fine suggestion but for one minor
detail. Who's going to pay the bill?
Just at present the railroads are
rather wobbly financially. Their credit
is low. They owe millions upon mil
lions of dollars which they are unable
to pay. They are raking and scraping
as they never did before.
There was a time when suppliers
went to railroad officials hat in hand
looking for business. Now they go
and use rather harsh language because
long-standing accounts have not been
settled.
Some suppliers have been known to
talk to railroad officers as if the Of
ficers we're plain ordinary persons who
were so far behind with their butcher
bill or baker bill or grocery bill as to
be branded as dead beats or desperate
financial risks. Some railroads are
nearly six months behind in paying
their general accounts.
Now, if the gentleman who wants
the railroads to go ahead and purchase
to the extent of the billions of dollars
of stuff they desire or require will get
the great steel companies, the great
car companies that furnish railroads
with anything and everything from a
pin to a locomotive-if he will get all
those to take the 1. o. us and wait
until the railroads car pay, why very
good.
But he may have difficulty. If the
steel companies couldn't get their bills
paid they'd go bust regardless Of their
wealth. And so would the others
down the line.-Richard Spillane in
the Public Ledger.

BIG EXCURSION AT HOTEL RURIC

Last Sunday the Hotel Ruric dis
played a large sign, fianked by Ameri-
can flags, reading, Headquarters of
the Excursion of the International
Union and United Brewery Workmen."
They arrived 1000 strong at nine
O'Clock Sunday morning, and partook
in the various amusements that Wild
wood has to offer heartily, promenad-
ing the boardwalk and bathing on our
unsurpassed beach. They had lunch
and refreshments at the Ruric. Ar
rangements for the excArsion were
made by Harry Schuelie, secretary of
the Bottlers' Union, Local No. 1873.
Many complimentary remarks on
Wildwood and its attractions were
overheard by the holiday making
brewers, who went at everything en-

IN ONIONS THERE IS STRENGTH

You may talk about the in~vigorating
salt air of Wildwood, but when you
mix the salubrious salt ozone with a
Whit of Bermuda onion you have
something to really brag about. Over
the weekend the beach was strewn
with thousands of onions, evidently
thrown overheard from some passing
ship, and the odor of same was NOV
ing-almost to tears. Many was the
dignified gentleman or lady who was
observed surreptitiously wiping tears
from their eyes while basking in the
arm sand of our beautiful beach.

1913 Five Passenger
$1785
Highest Quality at a Price Unequalled

Monday, June 10, new low Chandler prices are effective.
This new Chandler price puts the Chandler car right out
in front. $1785 for a fve-passenger touring car was the
price of the Chandler of eight years ago. The big, hand
some, powerful Chandler of today, constantly developed,
enlarged and refined as the years passed, would have sold
in that earlier day for twice its present price.
Our action in restoring that 1913 price for today's
Chandler, is convincing evidence of the constancy of thes
Chandler Company's long established olicyofhigh quality
at low price. The Chandler price has never at any time
been advanced because of over-sold trade.
