STUBBS TO FILL POSITION Win Have Etllrt Ckarp ! tk Traffic of ik SMlktra Pacific, I'tlM Picifk, Ore Skort Ute Ike 0. R. N. SAX PRAXOISlXt. Jun, JO.-J. 1". Stubbs,' vlce-prodnt of the Southern PaciOc lUllriad, whoa? appoimmn: a traffic manager f ihe vast oysteni o( railtnada enrolled by the Harrl man Intones was announced In rhi has arrived In thU city. In speaking at the Innovation to be Introduced In ra-lroad methods by :h creation of the position to which he haa just been appointed, Mr. Stubbs explained the matter by saying that Harriman nad heen considering for wme time the feasibility and practica bility of divorcing the traffic of the nnea In which he is interested from the other affairs of the road. He has talked over the- acheme with the other gentlemen who helped frame the policy and direct the fortunes of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, and has evolved a plan, which In Harriman's oinion. ought to accomplish the here tofore impoaible task of harmoniiing the interest of the several Harriman roads. As Mr. Stubbs puts it, it is a laa to bring about a unification of (ntetres-.s with a reduction of friction and elimination of unnecessary compe tition, while consolidating the proper ties under one management. Under this plan one man is ti ha charge of the traffic of the several cor porations and la order to effectually divorce the traffic from the other af fairs of the road, this official will re port directly to the board. This pvi ticn of power and responsibility, com parable to no other In the history of railroading, was offered to Mr. S:ubb and he accepted. The position is an ab solutely new one in railroading. Mr stucos a.ies not even Know what title vill be bestowed upon him. "I sup pose." he said, "that It will be 'traffic director" or 'director of traffic. That is a matter of detail that ha not been explained as yet." "In a word." Mr. Stubbs went ,-n to explain. "I am to be place 1 in entire charge of the traffic of the Southern Pa cific the T'nion Par-ifie, the Oregon Short Line, the Orvgnn Railroad & Navigation Company, and I will rp..r: to the board of directors of the several companies. Thu mrans that I am to report direct to Mr. Harriman. The organization is simply this: I "Ea h compiny has its board of d j rectors and each board of director..- his aa executive committee pr-5:de-d "V-r by a chairman. When the board of di. ' rectors is in ssi in i: is suprm an 1 when the b,arl is n.it in s-s-lon an 1 the executive cimmitte is holding a , meeting, the executive commit : is ?u-! irwn. When the executive e-vrm:"-? to not in s-'-ssion. the chairman ..f th- executive fomm'!!" runs ?himrs. E. If. s Harriman is chairman .if 1 1 1 e-.u'iv--i eomm'ttee of ea.-h rf the four roids !

"I am Hied upon to show Mr. Har riman and n's asocl i;s that a sys'e. malic rei JJjstin-.i; ,.f the traffic meth od? of the several ra'lroa.ls on harm,- mc.i Ins and an econo- ic id-runis-1 tratl.m of the affair? of the traffic , payments will b- attf-nl-l by ereiterl prijfi,.

T am n t as happy ovr the change a I m Kht be." j Mr. Stuhbs said that the n.-w ar rangement respecting hims.-jf was a complete surprise to the presidents the Southern Pacific and t'nion Pacific as !t was to oth.-r railroad m---n in ?he country who r n.t prepared -o such a revolution 'n the methods of con servative railroal corporations. The whole thing was cut and dried," he said, "before President Hay- of the Southern Pacific and President Burt of the t'nion Pacific reached Chicago All that had to be done when they ar rived was to inform them of the fact." Mr. Stubbs was asked if his pro motion would be attended by any oth.-r changes In the general office ,f the Southern Pacific or in the traffic de a.irtnients of the o'her roals with which he will henceforth lie Identified. He said he saw no reason for any rhanges and he believed that all the present officials would hold their po sitions. Mr. Stubbs said that when he left Chicago a plan was bHng perfected to place the traffic of the Northern Pacific, the Croat Northern and th I'urilnulon in the hand, of IWIus Miller at present, second vlce-presl dent of the i.re.-u Nii;hein, and that there would in all rolab.lliy be brought about a ntialuatloii in the management of the great lines including the Missouri Pacific, Texts and Ito Ciiande lines, Mr Stubbs will Icav here early in July to enter uiron the lutli s of ha new pout on.

Belter P.vllng Reported In Eotindiy t 'enter Consumption of Pig Iron IjtgxV '.'t.EYELANP, June M -The Iron Trade Review, discuslng the markt conditions this week, says: Iharchases of pig iron, . hielly be, semer. in the Pittsburg district by two Important .Mtvsumers have given a h-i-ter tone to the market and there an" Itidicitlons that It is on the verge of a buying movement. V'pwards of IiXViW tons of bosaomer and gray forge lion were taken In the w.vk's purchases, de liveries for the majority of the tonnage extending only thrugh the nex; two months. A better fivl ng with consd er.ible inquiry Is reported frm foutidrj Iron cs'iiters, though so far as business has been closed sellers have nothing to Ntst of In (he way of prices. South ern foundry irons are from il to Jl K'low the level of the market sut.v. an l Northern foundn." Ir-n In central west em districts has been offered at from T5 cents to tl below the top pr ces of the earlv months of the year. There Is no doubt as to the record breaking consumption of pig iron. Apart from th0 statistic from which an apparent consumption at a yearly rate of IS.;00.000 U figured, the urgency with which pr.Klucers are b-llig pressej for delivery of Irvn indicates that iv'ti- sumers have unusually small amounts In stock. Front the foundries inquirl vi for from three to six months' supply are tvginning to come in and the pr.w-P-vts are that an active buyltig cati be reirted bere Ihe end erf the month. The machinists" str ks has not mad. a c.snslderable lnr.ad Into consumption as yet. anl reports Indicate that the number ..f men at work is being In creased week by week.
