Attorney for Shippers Declares That
No Enliyhted Railroad Will Con
testResult Based on Investiga
tion and Evidence.
(Copyright, 1911, b.v tho United
Press Association.)
(By Louis D. Brandels.)
I do not believe tlmt the manage
ment of any enlightened railroad will
fight the decisions against tho rate
Increases after the full and fair hear
ings before the Interstate commerce
commission. The question has been
considered for six months and all
Lavo been given opportunity to argue
for and against the proposed rates.
The decisions wero based on evi
dence and the opinion of tho commis
Hloners was unanimous. That opin
ion so far as It has been given to the
public shows that tho subject has
been carefully considered and that
tho decision of the commission was
inevitable.
I do not believe there Is any jus
tification for the slump In the stock
market today. On the contrary, I
think thnt railroads llko the Heading
will finally conclude thnt tho decision
of tho Interstate commerce commls
Hlon will loam them to a brighter fu
ture. It will bo remembered that a num
ber of ho-called railroad defeats haw
been but avenues to greater pros
perity. It will also be remembeied
that when the commerco law made
conditions moro stringent, notwith
standing' that the roads had beaten,
the abolition of rebating was' really
a great step forward. Llkowlso the
railroads when they wero forced to
abolish passes inndo a distinct gain
without a single disadvantage.
Then the roads were forced by law,
after a long contest, to npply safety
dovices to their cars. All will admit
that this reform supplied a great
gain in transportation. Tho loads
considered tho limitations of their
employes, labor a heavy burden, but
tho most enlightened railroads re
joice now with tho community over
that atop to procuro proper and snfo
conditions.
Nothing has so aroused the Ameri
can people against the railroads for
yeais as the attempt at raising rates.
The decision of the commission un
doubtedly will be followed by efforts
by enlightened railroad manage! s to
have the roads help themselves. This
Is bound to result In Immense Im
provements and economies In opera
tion nnd management. Theso will
secure to the roads the co-operation
of the American people.
I do not bollevo tho railroad Im
provements will be cm tailed or that
tho earnings of the railroads or their
omployes will bo reduced. On 'the
contrary, railroad prosperity, with
groater efficiency, wll bo placed on a
firmer bnsls and the prlclples of sci
entific management as applied to rail
roads, will bo sure to produce, as In
other branches of Industry, higher
wages.

People Use Electric Flat Irons
the Year Round
- s, -
f

They are equally as convenient in fall and winter as
they are in the hot weather. There may be less
discomfort from kitchen fires, to be sure, but the electric
flat iron has many other advantages than saving heat.
They save drudgery. They save footsteps between
ironing board and stove. They never need changing.
They are always clean and uniformly hot ready at
your elbow.
Thousands of Women
use them who prefer to iron little things themselves in
their own room, or elsewhere, on short notice. An elec
tric iron once tried is never afterward dispensed with.
Why not try one yourself. Ask us for particulars.
