Union Pacific Head Says Cali

Improved conditions in the West were
reported yesterday by Robert S. Lovett.
chairman or the Union Pacific Railway
system, on returning 10 his desk after
a three months vacation in California
He said that conditions in that State
were probably better than in other
Western States on account of it's varied
production. In the mountain Statas he
found a slow but steady rise in mining
activities and in the agricultural Sec
tions, among farmers and bankers, an
optimistic sentiment. to which the up
turn in commodity prices and Fed aral
farm loan aids have given rise.
Business in general is improving. but
improving very slowly" said Judge
Lovett in summing up his impressions
His inspection of the Union Pacific
system disclosed that the road was in
excellent physical condition. The annuai i

Samuel Rea, president Of the Pennsyl-
that the rebuke administered the road
in the Interstate Commerce Commits

FOR the strong dissent OF five members
Of the commission. Mr.. Rea said in

more considerate review, that the same
action would be taken IL we were con-
fronted by the same emergency, the
same unsatisfactory labor conditions and
an uncharted future that sorely tried
