Artloa on Nebraska and

The power of the Interstate Commerce
commission to change conditions In an en
tire community oy an enforcement of the
new law was brought out forcibly Satur
day, when the I'ntnn pacific railroad de
cided, upon advice of the legal depart

agents immediately. presentallveg of
the passenger departments of all western
roads met with the commission a week
ago Frlduy In Washington, and on a com
plaint of the Illinois Central to test the
commission on that subject, the commis
sion, while not making a ruling, conveyed
the Idea and expressed the sentiment In
formally that the granting of free trans
portation to land agents was unlawful.
Gerrit Fort, assistant general passenger
agent of the 1'nloti Pacific, returned from
the east Saturday, imd In regard to the
juestlon of land agents said:
"The passenger department of the t'nlon
Pacific has consulted with tho legal de

induce some wealthy farmer to move to the

lie too great and he could not afford the
experse. whereas before, with the mil
roads giving him free transportation, ho
could travel around the country In the hope
of picking up n settler who would move
his family to the west nnd thus Increase
its prosperity.
No Knxy Task.t
"It has been ro easy task to tell 3
people of the east that this gtest state,
which was once known as the Great Amer
ican Desert, Is now as fertile as any land
on earth. The railroads nnd the land
agents have all worked In unison in ex
ploiting the resources of the western states,
but the system Is now broken and n new
one will have to be devised.
"No part of the country will Buffer from
this ruling like the west, for no part of the
country has been aided to the extent the
west has by the rillroads working In con
Junction with the land agents. For years
the west has faced the complaint of ths
cat-tern roads of robbing the east of the
middle states for the settlement of the
west."
In anticipation of the change, which will
be necessitated the Huiilngton railroad will
call a meeting of a limited number of land
agents from Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas'. Nebraska and Wyoming men repre
senting all classes of land, the semi-arid,

to be followed In the future. The Burllng
eti officials wish to obtain a little light on
he subject and hope to find a way out of
he difficulty and to see what kind of or
ganization Is necessary to conform with
u law.
If the agents can no longer be cent to
.i-ek settlers, some sort of advertising de
vices will have to Is? originated, such as

TRUSTS PUT WAGES HIGHER
Standard Oil, Conner and Kfeel Cor
porations Will Let Men
Prosoer.
One reason lor toe general tendency of
trust managers to increase the wages of
the workmen was brought out In New York
bv a trade agency, which reported that
the present cost of living was the highest
in twenty years. According to Dun's index
number of commodity prices proportioned
to consumption. Issued yesterdav, the aver
age cost was $1ffi.(W on November II last
Compared with a year ago on the same
date the present cost, as shown by the In
dex number, Is $0 higher.
Another reason given by financiers Is
that the Industrial corporations are nil
In ft highly prosperous condition and the
scores of plants are helnff worked to their
full capacity and under high pressure
I'nder these condition it Is said to bo the
desire of the management of the larger
corporations to have their workmen par
ticipate in the prosperity.
Men of prominence in the financial
world saw In the concerted action of the
great corporations a desire to checkmate
the growing tide of antagonism to corpora
tions such ns was brought out In the re
cent election. The discontent among the
laboring element, the higher cost of living,
the lowered purchasing power of the dol
lar unit and the effect of the disclosures
of corporate abuses, it is generally admitted
here, forced the corporations to adopt n
more liberal policy to the workmen and
thereby conciliate the active antagonism
which was reflected In the election.
It became known that the Ptanditd
OH company had d-ided before the ptb
lie election to increase wages. The firsi
public announcement was made yester
day. when It was sild that the Galena
Oil company, a subsidiary concern man
tlf'Hturlng lubricating oils, had Increased
the wages of Its men. Pructicallv nil I In
subsidiary companies will make similar an
nouncements to SfiWi nien with'n the next
few ww ks The increase will affect more
particularly the men who receive less than
VS a month.
The action of the Copper Tru-t in Mon
tana 'n offering to Increase tlve wanes of
it men 10 per cent will be no surprise to
those familiar with the conditions of the
labor market in the grent Butte cupper
camp. There has been a scarcity of miner"
for several months, and the production of
copper, despite the great demand, has not
Increased more than 5 to 1ft per cent as
compared with the production last jmr
The increase In consumption. It Is .-stl-mated,
has been at least 30 per rent. Manv
estimate the Increase in consumption t,.
be about 4u per cent.
In the case of the Pennsylvania, which
Increased the wage of Its men by about
tl2..cm, the action was also voluntary
With the exception of a single labor
trouble In one of the Standard Oil com
pany's eastern refineries, there has b-cn
no demand for increased wages from its
60,000 employes.
Exact facts concerning the amount of the
Increases on the western roads ceiuld not
be Inarne-d. but It appears to be settled
