ROOSEVELT TO PREVENT
STRIKE IF IT IS POSSIBLE
Washington, March 29.—President
Roosevelt I* determined that there
■hall be no strike on the Western rail
roads, If It con be prevented. The sit
uation is considered dangerous In the
extreme, although It was significantly
pointed out at the white house this
morning that the greater part of the
femands of the employees have been
met by the roads and the Inference was
left plain that If the men, under the
circumstances, forced a strike, they
would have small sympathy In govern
ment circles.
Chairman Knapp, of the Interstate
commerce commission, and Commis
sioner of Labor Neill, who constitute
the conciliation board under the Erd-
man act, left at noon for Chicago.
Mediators Get Telegrams.
Before leaving they had received tel
egrams from A. B. Garretson, chief of
the Order of Railway Conductors; P.
H. Morrissey, grand master of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, and
C. B. Rawn, vice president of the 1111-
mols Central, chairman of the general
managers' board, all Indicating willing
ness to meet the conciliation board.
This Is not equivalent, however, to
agreement to arbitrate, and serious
doubt Is felt whether arbitration will be
secured,
Jt la firmly believed by those closest
to administration views that In case of
strike the national government will
give a repetition of the vigorous meas
ures of 1K94, If they arc necessary, to
prevent riot and destruction of proper
ty. The president consulted with Com.
mlssloner Nelli before he and Chairman
Knapp left the city.
Cabinet Discusses Strike.
Tho previous disposition of the rail
roads to fight the Erdmnn act has
greatly weakened their chance of get
ting the employees now to arbitrate
under It. Two or three Federal Judges,
whom the employees regard as un
friendly to them, have held the law In
valid. President Roosevelt discussed
the strike situation with the cabinet
today and the gravity of the situation
was fully conceded.
L
Demurrer by Road in
\, Famous Circular
318 Case.
3 •
In an amended bill and demurrer
filed In the United States court Friday
morning the Southern railway clatmH
that the enforcement of circular 319
by the Georgia railway commission
would amount to confiscation and
would be taking Ita property without
due process of law.
It will bs remembered that circular
118 called for a material reduction of
preferential allowed several months
previously and sought to be reduced
\ by the railroad commission because the
railroads have enjoyed them sufficient
ly. This action was stopped last Jan
uary by a restraining order granted
by Judge Pardee upon the application
of the railroads.
In the amended petition the Southern
sets out that If the circular In question
Is allowed, the maximum net earnings
.of the road within the state of Oeorglu
will not be sulllelont to pay the Interest
on the bonds Issued on tho property'
within the state.
The Southern rlalms that figures nr
.the maximum net earnings for the year
ending June 30, 1906, of the rnnd within
the state of Georgia are 3161,376.01.
These figures were established after
deducting a certain percent for Im
provements and for annual Insurance.
The capital stock of the Southern Is
put at 3180,000,000, $60,000,0000 of which
'Is preferred, and the 3120,000,000 Is
'common stock. The aggregate bonded
Indebtedness of the road's property In
'Georgia Is 324,697,578, which bears
•3.73 per cent Interest. The annual In
terest on the total Indebtedness of the
system Is put at $1,202,678.28. The
I bills were amended In order that the
litigation might he tried on Its merits
before Judge Newman,

Out of the Ordinary
Are the Spring Suits for this season made by the
master craftsmen of Alfred Benjamin & Co., New
York. We say master craftsmen because they
are skilled workmen and they are artists in the
true sense of clothes making for men of taste and
good judgment Every man that wears an Alfred
Benjamin & Co. 5 suit wears an air of satisfaction
that only good clothes can produce. The range
of fabrics for this season is widely diversified, in
cluding both solid colors and pattern effects in
hard and soft finished cloths.
Each suit bears the label that means “made
in New York” by the leading tailors of New York
—but the prices are altogether modest. About
one-half what custom tailors would demand for
garments of equal value.
