' Morrison-Street JJrldgc. Morrison-street bridge now came up for consideration. The contract price for the bridge was a little more than 3300,000, and subsequent extras for steel stringers add ed 323,000, of which, liowever, 32100 was held back by the Executive Board. This transaction Mayor Williams smilingly re ferred to as unfair to the contractors, but as evidence of the Executive Board's so licitude after the public money. "When the bridge was projected," said he. "we supposed that the 3400.000 allowed by law for the structure would be barely sufficient. Therefore, we advertised for wood6n stringers instead of steal. We were surprised when the bids wens opened to see that the bridge could be built for a little more than 3300,000. That sum was a fair price for the bridge, for we engaged two expert engineers, unknown to the Pacific Construction Company, of San Francisco, which later received the con tract, to go over the plans submitted by that company. After the contract was let we decided that inasmuch as wc had money for steel stringers, wc might as well put them In the bridge, thereby in creasing It3 durability. The contractors agreed to do the extra work for 323,000. This allowed for a very good profit, about 37000, as we learned, but the fact is the contractors made much less profit, owing the heavy expense of removing the piers of the old draw, which they had not counted so difficult tb take out. Besides, the Executive Board actually held back 32100 of the 323,000. to the great dissatis faction of the contractors."

HE DEFENDS INDIVIDUALISM President of Manufacturers' Associa tion Sees Socialist Tendency in Public Ownership arid'Flx Ing of Frelght'Ratcs. ATLANTA. Ga., May 15. The annual gathering of the National Association of Manufacturers of the United States, rep resenting more than three-quarters of the jl3,000,000,00 of invested capital of this country, assembled here today. Three hun dred members were In attendance. The first thing on the regultr programme was the annual address of President D. M. Parry, of Indianapolis. This address was taken up largely with the consideration of the labor question, interstate commerce legis lation, reciprocity and what he declared to be a strong tendency toward Socialism. In the first portion of his remarks he made an appeal for t!c .maintenance of individual and property rights as laid down by the Constitution of the country. He took the ground that the functions of the Government should be limited strict ly to certain specific ends, and that what evils have developed as a result of the concentration of capital In industrial en terprises should be corrected through ap plication of the police power of the Gov ernment and not by resort to Socialist Innovations. He said: Tendency to Socialism. The agitation for the supplying of private control over capital appear to disclose two distinct methods for the accomplishment of Its objects. One la that of confiscation the passagre of legislative enactment and the adoption of other means to reduce profits and to limit private management of capital. The other Is that of acquiring Government con trol through purchase from the present In dividual owners. That form of Socialistic endeavor which seeks Government control of capital by pur chase Is at present limited to the acquire ment of public utilities. Attempts In the line of municipal ownership have for the most part Resulted unfavorably to the claims made by -Its advocates. Government cannot man age capitalistic enterprises as economically or ar efficiently as private owners. A large Increase In the number of its employes Is certain to threaten the domination of rar democratic Government by an office-holding class, and the corruption of politics under private ownership of corporations would be as nothing compared to the corruption that would most likely exist under Government ownership. "While the enlargement of the scope and power of Government by the purchase and management of certain enterprises has found considerable support ampng the peo ple, yet T believe the sentiment favorable to Socialistic measures involving the confisca tion of profits and the limitation of private management of capital Is the more wide spread and dangeroux. Without making spe cial reference to the aim of the avowed Socialist, we have organized labor and Its (sympathizers, supporting the Idea that or ganizations of men may dictate to a large extent the management of enterprises which they do not own, determining the rate of wages and fixing the hours of employment. .Vhothtr Illustration of this kind of Social istic sentiment Is manifested in the present agitation to have the Government fix rall Tosd rates. Mr. Parry favored the nonpartisan or ganization of the substantial and law abiding citizenship in order that they may; exercise their proper Influence In public affairs 'and .counteract the work of the Socialist and demagogue. Victories for Open Shop. Taking up the labor situation. Mr. Par ry said: .Orzanlzed .labor was 1 strenuono In th past year In ltb Socialistic endeavors than In the several years preceding. There were a number of notable strikes, and smaller strikes were numerous, but they were almost uniformly failures from the union stand .point. The open shop was the outcome of most of these straggles. At a low estimate fully 1500 concerns employing labor changed frOm the closed to the open shop. The efforts of organized labor to xfcur the passage of laws abridging Individual freedom of action met with complete fall ure at the Xatlonalxcapltal during the: re cent session of Congress, a also did a num ber of attempts to secure laws of a Social istic character from various "Legislatures. This was due to the aroused activity of manufacturers and employers In these states. With strikes less numerous, the laws bet ter obeyed and enforced, and the power of labor lobbies considerably checked, the value of this association's activity on the labor question is emphatically demonstrated. The pohcy taken by the association in demanding a full recognition from organized labor of' the Individualistic principles of our Govern ment Is the only policy which will establish. and. maintain Industrial peace. Peace Is utterly Impossible so long aslt Is attempted to make the rights or employer and employe the subject of dickering and trials of strength, Opposes Government Rate-Making. In discussing the ponding interstate commerce legislation. Mr. Parry applied the principles of individualism, and .com petition, as he did all through his speech. He declared that the question of rebate? did not properly enter into the discussion of the Esch-Townscnd bill, as the leaders in the movement In Its behalf themselves declare that the present laws are fully adequate to meet that evil. The Issue raised by the. proposed bill, he said. Is whether the Government through a com mission shall establish Inelastic legal rates to take the place f the rates now fixed by competition. He quoted a recent Inter view with Representative Stevens, of Min nesota, one of the members of the House committee on interstate commerce, -going to show, he said, that the substitution of a system of Inelastic rates for the rates determined by competition would result In great Injury to Industry In many sections of the country. He said that the commis sion or any political body that might be created would yield to the roost clamor ous demand, and that, as a result, the rates between different localities would be more Inequitable than the rates now fixed by competition between these localities. In maintaining that competitive condi tions are still potent In regulating rates, he said: Rates JLowcr Than In Europe. The attempt Is-made to make it appear that the railroad can no longer stand the extortion, but must have relief from Con gress. Now. -the simple Incontrovertible fact U that the railroad rates In this country are far lower than anywhere cle In the world. These rate In general are one-third lower than those of Great Britain and France, and one-half lower than those of Germany, where the railroads are owned ana operated by the government. An ex amination of rates in the part ao shows there hat been an almost continuous ten dency downward. In 1S70 the rates were three times what Hhey are now. Ab under the continued working of free competitive conditions rate may be ex pected gradually to decline. It remain for the advocates of the Inelastic Socialistic rates to ahow why any change from com petitive conditions is desirable, and whether Socialistic fate-making would Insure lower rates the future. The complaints coming from afelypers ajralnst the railroads al-e al most wholly coeaplaJats of discrimination In Javsr of ether alilpers. What the shippers -want In this country Is Impartial treatment rather thaa arbitrary reduction of rates. Tfee' principle ot Jsspartia! treatsneat of the plge e enforced. It might be wise whe it w re4 that a creTwer rate.ar, rebate haa fceesi grmt4 to amy aMfr ia-at (Mi rale fce 'savaAc th rae tor say jmk year, aa though the rate were- rt af the 93btisned clasotfteatloo. Unjust UcrliR!nAHons between localities and kinds, of traffic ought to he MKCpUfele to correction throngs the application of the police powers of the Government, the same as unjust dlscrlmlsatioae between individ uals. There la no -valid reaaon 1 or aasertlsg that one kind of discrlmiaatlon caa he cor rected by punitive legislation, ahd that an other kind can only be reached by the So cialistic method of axing rates. Aa to the tariff, and reciprocity, Mr. Parry said: To my mind there are some features In the pretent tariff situation thai open to the seri ous question the wisdom of the "stand pat" policy. The foreign demand for our agri Cultural products appears to be declining, and the exportation of .manufactured com modities la not nearly so great as It should be. How in the face of unfavorable foreign tariffs we can materially derelop the market abroad Is difficult to see, unless through the adoption ot a more liberal tariff policy on our own part we secure compensating con cessions In the tariff schedule ot those coun tries whose market!" we seek. Reciprocity would be a wiser course than tariff revision. , I do not think the situation calls for radical treatment, but rather for the adoption of a conservative policy looking more to the ftpenlng up than to the "bot tling up" of our commerce. The report of Secretary Cashing, ot New York reviewed at length the work of the association under various descrip tive heads. Ludwlg Nissen. of New York, spoke on the Governmental relation to public franchises. The address was largely devoted to a discussion of the un Americanism of governmental owner ship of pubjlc utilities. He said in part: The -present trend ot public opinion, in the. effort to -check the evils ot control by monop oly, la towards the other extreme, municipal or Mate ownership. The relation of that ptln clple would mean state Socialism. The groia Injustice of the public arrvlce corporations Is unquestionably the cause ot the now general demand of the unthinking public for a system of munlciral or state ownership of all public utilities. This system. If long continued, roust and will inevitably lead, first, tb municipal, then to state and finally to national, ownership of public utilities. It lbtt principles ehouM ever be put Into general practice In this coun try, the reault would be the destruction of our liberty and our progress. We should' go from wealth to poverty, from progress to lethargy and frcm liberty to slavery, because we- should live In a state- of Socialism which alms at, equality with the lowest instead of teaching to alre to the hlghert. You would crush Individuality. As a remedy for these conditions, I would offer the following hints: first All public . service corporations should be under strict surveillance of the. authority that creates them. Second "Whenever a charter or franchise la granted,' It should be granted only on condl tlona. Sen-Ice rendered by such corporations shall be adequate to the public needs. Such a charter or franchise should not be allowed to be given -away, sold, leased or mortgaged with those pf any other corporation except under terms carefully specified by law.

HAD JAPANESE DRIVEN BACK Xogl's Advance Northward and-Loss or Hun River PQSItlon Caused Orderly Retreat Tola I Loss Is 90,000. GUNSHU PASS, April 13. (Corrcspond 'crice of Associated Press.) Some weeks have passed since the last echoes of tho Titanic Mukden combat died" away, but the discussions and talcs of those hard days bf fighting and retreats- have not lessened, but on the contrary grow louder and louder. Here In the army the newspaper articles and the telegrams por traying a disastrous, rout of the Rus sians were read with amazement and in dignation. The reality was as follows: The attack on the Russian positions by thi Jmunisi hcean "FVhrunrv 19. The first Manchurlan army and parts of the third army repulsed all attacks, . and as to the character of this remilse the best proof Is the fact that on March 7, after the repulse, of the last attack on tne Gaotu Pass, the Japanese In complete disorder, abandoning their bivouacs; many objects, ammunition, cartridges and rlr rptlrnfl almost four miles. The same-thing took place 6n the remainder of the front or . the nrst army, me sec ond Manchurlan army, repulsing all 'the desperate attacks on the western front was unable, however, to throw back the Japanese forces, which were encircling Mukden from the north. . This success of the Japanese forced the Russians to Withdraw the first and .third . armies to the fortified positions on the line of" the Hun River. 4 ; On March 3 the Japanese succeeded In breaking through the Russian position oil the Hun River, which, tqgether with the army ot Nogl, advancing along the west to Oku's assistance, forced the command er In chief to give the order to all. the armies to retreat to Tie Pass. In spite of the extremely difficult circumstances, the retirement of the troops from the ad vanced positions took place In good or der. The retreat was rendered more difficult by the panic In the wagon trains. Many wugons and also 33 guns with caissons were unharnessed and abandoned. Ncv erthtless the corps retired with tolerable order, the proof of which Is thi fact that on March 10 the Russians prevented the Japanese who broke through the Hun lines from joining with those ad vancing from the west, which would have cut off the Russian troops to the west and south of Mukden. This, In turn, made it possible for the second Russian army under the most difficult conditions to re tire, preserving Its ability to fight. One of the rear guards under com mand ot Major-Gcneral Ganefleld and a" few battalions. losing the direction which had been given them for the retreat, was surounded and after a furious fight suc ceeded In partly breaking through with losses. In this way began the sudden confusion, which became panicky among the wagon trains, communicating partly to those batteries and packs which, ow ing to the dust storm, lost their way and got between the wagons. The troops of the line were almost untouched by the panic and retired fighting steadily, de fending successive positions, while tfte rear guard had to repulse the Japanese with the bayonet. T?nrir th nroteeilon of these slowly re treating, bleeding and worn-out soldiers, work on the railroad was continued until the night of March 11, and all the rolling stock and all tne wounaeo were got away arith tho oxeention of -fco especially se riously wounded, who were left in the several hospitals In Mukden, together with 150 wounded Japanese. In the re treat from Mukden, as the army began to arrive at Tie Pass. It occupied posi- llnna Rl mltM smith of Tie PaSS. On n.htMi oil iwrrnte attacks of the Jap ancse were rcpubsed. stopping their fur ther advance, in tic r-ass tne issiiu troops were given a two days' rest. vn ino It became evident that the Tic Pass positions, by their tactical nnd stra tegical conditions, were not advantageous, it was decided to continue the movement northward. During that movement an other day was given, which is the best Indication that the troops were retiring in good order. Tk. -rticioti in for the whole period oo-htin. from February 19 tb March 14 consisted of killed, wounded and, miss ing, as follows: Two Generals. , both severely wounded and now prisoners. Staff and other officers. 15S3. t..9i S7(rrr. Dlvidlng' the latter figure into classes ii t,-o n rnnnri number about 55.000 wounded gathered up. 15.000 killed. .000 taken prisoners and 10.000 to 12,000 left on the field and missing. Of the last two classes, the number of those taken pris oners must be calculated at not more than 5000 to 6000. Of guns the Russians lost 23. Including 26 quick-firers. As to the siege artillery, every gun of it with all the ammunition .was sent north two days before the retreat began. General Karakevich, chief of staff, fur nishes this conclusion concerning losses.

In testimony be fore the Frick committee, which is Inves tigating the alleged mismanagement; of the- Eaultable Life Assuranco Society, James IL Hyde, vice-president, today ex- plained all the business transactions ot the syndicate, "James H. Hyde and Asso ciates." His testimony- showed that, al though the Equitable had bought J13.00O.00O of the bonds underwritten by the syndi cate, it had bought not one bond from James H.

The total amunt was about JO00.OW.00O. The bonds were all heavily oversubscribed. In no case was there a single bond alloted to any of the under writers.
