FIX)IR MARKET Pl'ZZLK8 CANADA
Northern Mills In Quandary Over ttraln
I'ricea.
CAIXJART.. Jan. 8. The two Calgary
milling concerns, the Robin Hood and the
Wesern Canada companies, with a com
bined daily output of nearly 3000 barrels
of flour a day. are not worried over the
removal of the American embargo on
Canadian wheat.
The Canadian wheat board controls the
movement and sale of wheat and the
millers feel that Canadian mills will not
be allowed to suffer for m lack of sup
plies, but they would like more adequate
information as to what prices will be paid
In the future. They are still on the $2 30
basis.
Coffee Futures Still Advancing.
NEW YORK. Jan. 8. The market for
coffee futures showed Increasing activity
today and a sharp early advance was ac
companied by reports of firmness in Brazil
and of a continued export Inquiry In the
local spot market. First prices were 15 to
20 points higher and the active months
sold 45 to 58 points above yesterday's clos
ing figures during the middle of the day,
with May touching 17.18c. or within 42
points of the high level reached on the ad
vane of last November. There was ln
creat realizing and possibly some selling
To try to control railroad
rates by arbitrarily limiting
profits is to put the manager
who makes his profits by effi
ciency and economy on th
same level as the one who

HadUy Railroad S4ettrittM
Commission ; Report to th$
Pruidmt 19 1U
THE old-time pack-bearer could carry a
hundred pounds ten miles a day.
The railroad is the modern pack-bearer. For
every employee it carries 2,000 times as much.
Back of each railroad worker there is a
$10,000 investment in tracks and trains and
terminals, with steam and electricity harnessed
like a great beast of burden.
Without this mighty transportation machine
the railroad worker could do no more than the
old-time packer. But with it he is enabled to
earn the highest railroad wages paid in the
world, while the country gains the lowest-cost
transportation in the world.
The modern railroad does as much work for
half x cent as the pack-bearer could do for a
full day's pay.
The investment of capital in transportation
and other industries increases production,
spreads prosperity and advances civilization.
To enlarge our railroads so that they may
keep pace with the-Nation's increasing pro
duction, to improve them so that freight may
be hauled with less and less human effort a
constant stream of new capital needs to
be attracted. v
Under wise public regulation the growth of
railroads will be stimulated, the country will
be adequately and economically served, labor
will receive its full share of the fruits of good
management, and investors will be fairly
rewarded.
