NO CALL FOR BUSINESS PESSIMISM, SAYS FRANKLIN K, LANE
INTERSTATE COMMISSIONER CALLS MR. HILL "JIM DUMPS'
AND GIVES OUT ENCOURAGING STATISTICS.
Declares That Reports Show the Railroads to Be Earning Much
Mora Par Mil Than In Last Presidential Year---Thinks
Doprasslon la Only Temporary.
Washington, t. C. Some remarks
about conditions in the railroad
world which were contained in nn in
terview with James J. Hill In New
York brought out a response from
Franklin K. Lane, a member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Mere Is part of Mr. Lane's statement:
"The whole world has a great ad
miration for Mr. Mill, but I do wish
he would not be so lugubrious. Jim
Dumps bas not yet superseded the
optimistic Uncle Sam as the typical
American. A year ago Mr. Hill said
that the railroads had failed to meet
the traffic necessities of the country;
that there had been a steady increase
In business which the railroads had
not met and that It would be neces
sary to Invest $5,500,000,000 in pro
viding equipment, double trackB and
terminals to handle the business of
the country properly. And now be
cause for two or three months the
railroads have been able to handle
more business than was offered them
we are met on all hands with the cry
that the country is going to the bow
bows. "What Is the necessity for painting
the picture blacker than it is? Does
It arise out of tho fact that Congress
Is In session, or that there is a Presi
dential election impending? Is a
man an enemy of the railroads be
cause he refuses to believe every old
woman's tale that comes out of Wall
Street? I do not understand the rea
son why at the time when railroad
credit should be upheld those who
ought to be most interested in sup
porting 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 tho
225,000 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 csr
talnly 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 $37
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 1906-07, which may bo
taken as high water mark thus far iu
the history of the United States."
The Interview which drew the
above comment is ns follows:
New York City. James J. Hill,
who has arrived in this city, says of
business conditions: "While I Cannot
permit myself to be too optimistic, I
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 ot many
months, and n revival will no doubt
be correspondingly gradual."
RAILROADS NEED 300,000 MEN FOR REPAIR WORK

Chicago. The "unemployed," who
are congesting the cities, subsisting
upon charity and menacing the peace
of various communities, If they really
want work can find It with the rail
roads of the United States at once.
This is the opinion expressed here by
leading railroad men. The wages
range from $1.50 to $2.50 a day, in
cluding good board and transporta
tion. Within the next sixty days the
railroads must find 300,000 men to
repair roads, bridges, furbish up sag
Kinc tracks, build extensions and man
! the shops. The ravages of the win
ter months havo left much work to
be done, and it must bo done speed -

tbey see many signs of improving
business and must have their lines

because they were engaged in more
profitable employment and work
more to their liking. Furthermore,
they do not care to nssociate with the
motley gangs that usually go to innko
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 tho
world. Formerly forty per cent, of
the laborers employed In tho spring
work were Italians on roads between
the seaboard and the Rocky Mountains.-
West of the mountains, espe
cially on the Hill 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.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT EASES UP ON RAILROADS
Will Not enforce the "Commodity Clause" Part of Rate Law
Pending Supreme Court Action.
ern Maryland, a Gould coal road, to
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
the 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
as the question of the validity of the
"commodity clause" has 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.
Bradst reefs says:
The first week of spring has seen
an expansion In retail trade and an
enlargement of operations In build
ing lines, especially at the West.
Conservative estimates of actual
needs govern buying, and replace
ment of broken stocks is the chief
source of Jobbing and wholesale de
mand. Trade In the primary branches
is therefore quiet, and operations in
Industrial lines are below normal.

U. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
The best news of the week as to
manufacturing conditions conies from
the leather industry, although ship
ments of footwear through Boston
arc only about two-thirds those of
the s-. in, week last year.
In the primary niarkets for textile
fabrics there Is more Inquiry, es
pecially for small quantities of cot
tons to be shipped promptly. Urg
ency of demand for Immediate ship
ment indicates that stocks in dis
tributing channels are light and
goods must be secured for delivery
on orders tbnt were tnken. hut not
provided for, in the expectation that
lower prices would be named by pro
ducers before retailers called for
thorn. The decline in price of raw
mnterlal has had a depressing effect
on the tone of the market for cotton
goods and actual Improvement Is,
therefore, the more gratifying, while
finished products are no cheaper.

Washington, D. C. The Govern
ment will not prosecute railroads for
failure to comply with the "commod
ity clause" ot the railroad law pend
ing a decision of the Supreme Court.
That decision has been arrived at,
It is understood, after careful consid
eration by tbe President, and he bas
accordingly directed tho Department
of JitstiM to bring a test case as soon
as possible after May 1, the day when
becomes effective the law forbidding
any railroad to transport any article
or commodity (other than timber)
manufactured, mined or produced by
such road, or in which It Is directly
or Indirectly Interested.
Thus any railroad that owns coal
mines would be liable to prosecution
should It carry Its own coal to mar
ket. The decision of the President fol

the following letters.
Mrs. Barbara Bom, of Kingman,
Kansas, writes to Mrs. I'iukham:
" For eight years I suffered from tho
most severe form of female troubles and
was told that an operation was my only
hope of recovery. 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham
for advice, and took Lydia K. l'inkbam's
Vegetable Couixiund, and it lias saved
mv life and made me a well woman."
Mrs. Arthur I. House, of Church
Road. Moorestown. N. .1., writes:
" I feel it is my duty to let people
know what Lydia K. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound has done for me. I
suffered from female troubles, and last
March my physician decided that an
operation was necessary. My husband
objected, and urged me to try Lydia,
K. l'iukham's Vegetable Compound,
and to-day I am well nnd strong."
