STEEL AND RAILROAD
INDUSTRIAL PEACE,
WILL BE DISCUSSED
Cross Earnings Show Consid
erable Increase Over
Last Year.
Washington, D. C., Fob. 88.—Tho
amount ot bull neat bolng done by
tho rallroada, steel mills, manufac-
loriea and banka of the country at
tho pr.aent time la considerably In
advance of tbat of a year ago.
The groan earnings of the rail
roads for tho first week of February
were 9.81 per cent better than a
year ego. For »h, fourth week ot
January the reports from forty-four
roads Indicate a gain over last year
of 18.87 per cent. Report* for De
cember show an Increase of net
earnings over December, 1910, of
no lets than 7.83 per cent.
Hank clearings last week were
better than a year ago.
Foreign trade in January waa
very large. The export* exceeded
those of any preceding month with
a single exception.
Financial arrangements have re
cently <been made by several rail
roads tor raising' 390,000,000 to be
used In extenalons and Improvements.
Tho Erie railroad, for Instance,
plans to expend 310,000,000 in the
next ten years for completing the
rouble-tracking of Its main line be
tween New York and Chicago. The
Atchison Is ralalng 300,000,000 for
new work nnd equipment, and oth
er companies are preparing to put
smaller amounts Into improvements.
All this does not look ns If busi
ness Is standing still almply because
the House of Representatives Is
Democratic, nor that business fears
the election of a Democratic .presi
dent. The pre-election threat, made
to ti'ttmldate voters, that the at ag
nation ot buelneae would follow Im
mediately upon the election ot a
Democratic House, has not been
fulfilled.
Some ot the Illegal trusts which
hsvb been thrdttllng competition and
booatlng the prlcee of the things
I he people most have In order to live,
ere perhaps not particularly enamor
ed . with Democratic procedure, but
Wgltlmate buslnaa* understands
thoroughly that It has nothing to

and welcome It,

His Statement That They are
Shallow has Been Resent
ed by the Fair Sex.
Atlanta, Feb. 27.—That -the Rev.
Dr. Dunbar Ogden must have been
to some extent unfortunate In the
women he has personally known, la
the view of Atlanta women who take
exception to hts statement that
“there la a shallowness tn the women
of our generation that Is appalling.’’
They think Dr. Ogden's generality
,1s an error. They call attention to the
fact Khali women to Atlanta are
taking a larger and more Intelligent
Interest In civic beauty, In civic right
eousness In civic culture, than ever
before; that the art aaaodarion Is
run by women; the Osrnsgle library
by women; tbat there are men nt-
ccaeful -business and professional
women than ever before In the
world’s history.
They think what la une ot Atlan
ta Is true throughout the whole coun
try. They think that the woman of
this generation tni'ead of being
shallow, Is taking a little bh keener
and more practical Interest In the
real thing* of life thau ever before.
They think tbat the Ideals and
Ideas of women are ho*b advancing
and that "shallowness" Is the Inst
of all possible erltlchns that could
be Justly made of womankind In gen
eral In thlx generation.
