PUT OFF SPENDING MONEY Cunnnt Hclleve Prosperity vill Last. Commission Will Make No Whole sale Kate Reductions legal ize Traffic Associations. CHfC'AGO, Nov. in. Commissioner Charles A. Trouty, of the Interstate Com merce Commission, while in Chicago to day on his way to Milwaukee, where an Investigation of the elevator situation will be made, took Issue with President James J. Hill, of the Great Northern, and other railroad officials who recently have declared that the Government's rate policy tends to frighten Investors away from railroads and thereby, disable tho roads from making: adequate provision for handling the country's traffic. In an interviey Mr. Prouty said: "I came on the Commission In 1R97, when business was Just beginning to revive. Almost ever since' then business has grown better and traffic heavier. The mails have said from year to year: ".This thing can't continue. If we buy enough equipment for this year's business we won't need it next year," and they have acted accordingly. This Is the rea son why traffic has Increased So much faster than the facilities for handling; It. "I believe the tendency of rates ought to be downward as traffic grows denser, but the Commission contemplates no wholesale reduction." Regarding a recent report that Presi dent Roosevelt would recommend In his annua! message legislation legalizing the various railway traffic associations, Mr. Prouty said: "1 have no information that the Presi dent will mako any such recommendation, but ersonally I am in favor of such legislation. There is no doubt tho exist ence ef associations violates the anti trust law. Nevertheless they serve a useful purpose, and if their proceedings were made public and the Commislon had supervision of rates made by them, the associations would bo robbed of their power for harm." .

FAVORS WOMAN SUFFRAGE Convention "Expresses Distrust of Federal Courts Marine Disasters Attributed to the Employment of Incompetent Seamen. MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. Nrrt-.-13.-De-splte Senator . Albert J. Beveridge's an nouncement at Richmond. Ind., Sunday evening that he intends to introduce a bill In the Senate prohibiting the employ ment of child labor, the American Federa tion of Labor, now in convention here, decided today that a National law would be unconstitutional and therefore agreed to urge the passage of state laws that will "stop the crushing out of child labor In the mills and factories and coining Its life-blood into dollars upon the coun ters of commercialism." Tho convention also urged favorable consideration of the proposed amendment of the Federal constitution providing for woman suffrage. The federation extends a helping hand to the postal clerks, who are character ized as "helpless to better their condi tion." The boycott law of Alabama is to be fought: the employment of inef ficient seamen, causing disasters., is de plored: the employment of Chinese sail ors on American vessels condemned: the overloading of lake vessels condemned. The convention also urged the taking of steps to stop the employment of foreign "cheap" musicians and reaffirmed the boy cott against many large concerns. The Convention voted to support the bill which William R. Hearst will present to Congress with a view to having the defects to the Sherman anti-trust law re moved. With only one dissenting, voice, the convention adopted a resolution calling upon tiie judiciary committee of the Na tional House of Representatives to re port to the House a joint resolution which provides for the submission of an amend ment to the Constitution allowing women to vote. Another resolution was adopted indors ing and urging the passage of Represen tative Golden's bill In Congress to safe guard passengers on ocean steamers, so as to prevent such disasters as the Slo cum and Valencia horrors. Debate over the relative desirability of state or Federal legislation on child la bor occupied much of. the session today. State legislation was timilly indorsed by the combined vote of those who held that under the constitution Congress could not legislate on the ages and hours of labor in the various states and of those who through distrust of the Federal courts wished laws which would be en forced by judges answerable more di rectly to the voters.
