IWashinfiton. D. C.—Some remarks
out conditions In the railroad
|rld which were contained In an in-
Jvlew will) James J. Mill In New
|rk brought out a response from
lanklin K. Lane, a member of the
Estate Commerce Commission.
|re is part of Mr. Lane’s statement:
“The whole world has a great ad-
tiation for Mr. Hill, hut I do wish
I would nut be so lugubrious. Jim
hmps has not yet superseded the
[timistic I’ncle Sam as the typical
aerlcan. A year ago Mr. Hill said
it the railroads had failed to meet
i traffic necessities of the country;
at there had been a steady increase
business which the railroads had
It met and that it would he neces-
nr to Invest 15,500,00,0,000 In pro-
ding equipment, double tracks and
fminals to handle the business of
|e country properly. And now be-
luse for two or three months the
lllroads have been able to handle
bre business than was offered them
1 are met on all hands with the cry
|at the country is going to the bow-
tvs.
What is the necessity for painting
! picture blacker than It Is? Does
I arise out of the fact that Congress
I In session. or that there is a Frail*
|mial election impending? Is a
an an enemy of the railroads bo-
Iii6e he refuses to believe every old
Junaa's tale that comes out of Wall
ireet? I do not understand the rea-
|n Why at the time when railroad
[edit should be upheld those who
Jght to be most interested In sup
ping that credit are lending their
influence to breaking it down.
‘‘Let us see what these figures
show,” said Mr. Lane. "The average
monthly receipts from freight and
passenger traffic, for each mile of the
226,000 miles of railroad in the Uni
ted States reporting to this commis
sion for the first seven months of this
fiscal year were $980, which Is $180
per mile per month more than the
average for the fiscal year ended
July 1, 1905, the year of the last
Presidential election, which was cer
tainly not regarded as a poor year in
the railroad or industrial world. The
net revenue from traffic allowing for
all operating expenses, including in
creased wages and cost of material in
the fiscal year ending in 1908, is $97
per mile per month greater than in
the year 1904-05. The net monthly
revenue for this fiscal year is thus
far $7 less per mile than for the pre
ceding year 190C-07, which may be
taken as high water mark thus far in
the history of the United States.”
The interview which drew the
above comment is as follows:
New York City.—James J. Hill,
who has arrived In this city, says of
business conditions: "While I cannot
permit myself to lie too optimistic, 1
am trying not to be pessimistic. The
general recovery in business which
has been predicted has not yet mani
fested itself to any remarkable de
gree, and it Is not to he expected that
it should. The prevailing conditions
were not brought about overnight;
they are the result of events of many
months, and a revival will no doubt
be correspondingly gradual.”

because they were engaged in more
profitable employment and work
more to their liking. Furthermore,
they do not care to associate with the
motley gangs that usually go to make
up the repair squads. Now that many
men are out. of employment It is
hoped by railroads to get a larger
percentage of Americans, who admit
tedly are the best workmen in the
world. Formerly forty per cent, of
the laborers employed in the spring
work were Italians on roads between
the seaboard and the Rocky Mount
ains. West of the mountains, espe
cially on the llill lines, Japanese
were employed. In the southwest
Mexicans, Indians and Italians pre
dominate, but everywhere there have
been many Greeks, Slavs, Poles, Huns
and other nationalities. Because of
the financial stringency many thou
sands of these have departed for Eu
rope. Now It is hoped to get the
work done by Americans.

go into the hands of receivers. That
action, It was announced, was forced
on it by the commodity clause of the
rate law, which, bearing as it did on
ihe road’s prospective earning capac
ity, affected its borrowing capacity.
The President, it is stated, has no
desire to add to the embarrassments
which surround the railroads in their
efforts to comply with the law, and
us the question of the validity of the
“commodity clause” lias been criti
cised by competent legal opinion it
was thought best for all Interests in
volved that a prompt determination
of the question by the Supreme Court
should be sought. It is understood
that the railroads have given assur
ance to the Government that if the
courts decide against them they will
immediately and in good faith com
ply with the law’.

Reduction of Wages in Cotton Mills.
Springfield, Mass. — A wholesale
exodus of Polanders to Europe will
follow the ten per cent, reduction in
wages in the Chicopee and Holyoke
cotton mills. Seventy-five per cent,
of Ihe 4500 operatives are Polish.
Steamship agents stated that they
have sold all the steerage and second
cabin accommodations at their dispo
sal in outgoing liners for six weeks
to come. Four days’ work a week at
reduced wages, the workmen assert*

What Noon Means in Law.
The courts of several States have
dealt with an odd question, none ol
them agreeing upon a similar an
swer. When is it legally noon? Fire
insurance policies expire at noon, and
the word is admitted to mean exact
ly 12 o'clock, midday. But standard
time has not been adopted in all com
munities. Many small towns cling te
sun time, which may be from a few
minutes tc nearly an hour earlier
than standard.
In one State a fire occurred at twe
minutes past noon, sun time, and the
insurance company held that the
policy had expired before ihe fire.
Sun time is used in that town, but
the insured sued the company, hold
ing that local customs did not rule
the policy, and that he was entitled
to his Insurance. The State courts
sustained him.
In another State a similar conten
tion was taken to the courts and just
the optK>slte decision given. Several
conflicting precedents have been es
tablished in State courts, and it Is
said the question can only be decid
ed for good and all when a case has
been carried Into the United States
courts and passed upon by the Su
premo Court.—New York Press,
