Mrs. Rainey Resumes Old Post
On Congressional Firing Line
SOlring Woes of Many
Continues as Problem
She Assumes.
Begins Her cOnd
Quarter of Century
on the Hill.

BY the Associated Press
THAT silvery- haired battler, Ella
Rainey, wife of the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, is
Il back here to begin her second
quarter of century ION the
hill"
She came to the Capital with her
young lawyer husband 26 years ago.
Those were the days when "laisseZ-
faire'' was the holy-of-holies in eco
nomic theory. Pyramiding industries
were the awe and joy of the Nation.
Now the rapidly changing picture has
many of Mrs. RaineyS contemporaries
bewildered.
But not so Mrs. Rainey. Side by
side with her husband, she has seen
legislation born and put into effect for
more than 25 years. AS his research
secretary she has interviewed thousands,
until she has listened, seemingly. to
every form of human wee and greed.
Fascinated by Changes.
That's why this changing world fas-
cinates her.
This is the greatest revolution that
Nation today. I'VE must all go along
with it."
But how shall we go along with It?
That is for each person to decide, Mrs.
Rainey says, and she laughs mischiev-
ouSly over her own methods.
She was faced one day with a solemn
and respondent group of manufacturers.
She could sense they were ready to
fight They couldn't see Speaker
Rainey for 80 minutes so they talked
to her-every one does.
She has a low voice, sort of ma
ternal gentleness and when the oc-
casion demands, an honest thrust to
her conversation that must make men
with selfish motives remember sud-
denly their mothers seedlings in other
years.
This time she swung on her callers.
Gentlemen" she said, you're talk
ing dead language. There Is a new
language in the making. 1t is being
written for the people. And who are
that and it won't be so hard"
A week later the leader of the manu-
featuring group arrived with an arm
full of roses for her.
Philosophy Wins.
1--WE found out you were right" he
said, "and you saved us lot of time
by talking to us straight from the
shoulder"
Just recently trembling little grand
mother, who runs a farm in the river
bottoms of Illinois, arrived with the
papers concerning the farm held in a
grimy little bundle in her hand. The
bank had notified her she must get out.
As she talked, Mrs. Rainey saw from
the corner of her eye the president of
the bank come in another door.
Here's a story that would interest
you," she said calmly, and she intro
duced the grandmother and the bank
president.
When the two left the farm had been
saved.
well, I'm due at the Polish embassy
for tea," Mrs. Rainey ends. "I know
this black dress isn't right, but I just
don't have time. Do you know dress
maker who could think for me? You
do? Send her around. This is no year
to be wasting time on clothes"

BLACK REPLACES
RED IN LEDGERS
IndustriaIs Taking Lead
in Rapid Recovery of
Earnings.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER.

Assoclateo freSS FINANCIAL Eoltof.
NEW YORK, March 6.-Black is
blotting out red in corporation ledgers.
Annual statements now appearing tell
an impressive story for 1893.
Industrials, as a group. got out of
the vermillion. Rails almost made the
switch from loss to profit. Utilities,
the only one of the three major
groups that showed black figures for
1882, reported moderately reduced, al
though still substantial, eanings last
year.
Here's the story in figures, as Stand
ard Statistics Co. tells it: A tabu-
lation Of annual statements Of 70l
corporations, comprising industrials,
rails and utilities, shows aggregate net
income Of $704.884 900 for 1888. as
against $239, 900 for 1882. This is
an increase of nearly 1875 per cent.
A total of 589 industrial companies
showed net earnings of 1891 500, 900,
as against a deficit Of $40, 900 in
1882. Fifty-five railroads. which had
deficit Of $106, ,055 900 in 1882,
showed group loss of only s11,199.-
600 for 1888. Fifty-seven utility COM
panies. reporting net Of 1865 1854 900 in
1882, had net income in 1888 of 1924
483 900. This was a decline Of little
more than II per cent
Steel and iron companies still ran
behind, but not SO seriously. State
nlenS Of 81 companies shows a 1888
deficit of $58,826, 900, compared with
sl37 ,098 900 in 1882 The largest ag-
gregate net shown for any industrial
classification in the tabulation last
year was chalked up for 81 food prod
ucts companies. and amounted to s9O,-
O63 900, compared with net of S53,-
0l4000 for the previous period.
Eight makers Of automobiles and
trucks had net for last year almost
as large, amounting to S87 1926, ,OOO
That replaced an aggregate deficit for
1882 Of sl4.602 900. Fourteen makers
Of chemicals and fertilizers cleared
net Of s53,680 900. against $34,6I4,00
in the previous year.
