Washington, D.C., May IS A warn ing to business Interests that the kov-rnraent stands ready to investigate what may appear to bo reprisals upen working-men following the passage of the Democratlo tariff bill, was voiced here last night by Secretary Redileld, of the department of commerce, In 4 speech before the National Association of Employing Lithographers. Secretary Redfleld read to the employers a cir cular they had Issued predicting dire consequences for worklngmen and flatly told them If their prediction were carried Into effect, he would promptly Investigate. Publlo Unfavorable "If I srasD the public mind at all clearly," he said, "It holds unfavorable, views toward reduction of waxes except under the direst necessity. A9 therefore, the reduction of wages has rilreot social effects, and as the publlo has the right to efllclency In their factory service, the department has undertaken to find out whether the fact3 Jo or do not Justify the threatened re duction, To Promote industry "The department of commerce ex- lsts," said the secretary, "for the pur pose of promoting American Industry end commerce at home and abroad. It Intends to do Its work as well as It can with the force and funds provided.

As the head of that department, I feel that while Its scope In aiding commerce Is broad and has many phases, one of theBo phases which Is important Is that of turning light upon iucltl- clencles wherever they can be found." Employees Not Chattels Mr, Redfleld declared that publlo sentiment hud revolted agninut the old time Idea that an employer's business and his employees wore his own to do with as ho wished, wltuout regam to the welfare of his workmen or recognition of the publlo need. Secretary Redfleld attributed to inefficiency on the part of manufacturers the smallness of profit and the necessity for retrenchment In operat ing cost at the expense of their em ployes, lie Insisted the consumer of the present day had a right to expect efllclency In management and added that unless that efficiency were displayed tho publlo would resent the lack. Wrath Against monopoly "The definite wrath against mono poly," ho said, "the flood tide of opinion against special privilege, the stern demand for efficiency as a duty which our Industries owe to the public, these are all parts of the awakened Ameri can manhood. "As a last word, It Is important that as business men, should know that business opinion and public opinion are two different things. If they are In accord It is well for business.

If they are not In accord. It Is ill for business, for business depends for its peace and prosperity upon the sustaining power of public opinion. In the relations of which, I have tried with courtesy nnrt candor to allude briefly, the purpose of the department of commerce will be, as in all lhes relations It ought to be, to bring the power or puhllc opinion to the support of the legitimate business, and business owes It to Itself and to the nation to drink In tho spirit of growth. In hard case Is ho that stands nat for the world will go by him nd lavn him standing; hinged In he that moves with the movement of progressive tnought for to him shall come the reward of living."

Rev. J. W. Churchill officiated.

In a brief address he spoke of the many tine qualities possessed by the dead police officer. His devotion to duty, the pastor Bald, had been nearly the cause of his death on a previous occasion. His loving manner and kindly wholesouled friendliness were means of endearing him not only In the hearts ot his comrades but with everyone wun wnom ne came in contact. The force, and the world at large, had lost a true man and citizen in the death of Constable Traynor, and his passing away left a gap which would be hard to fill. The procession headed by the Salva tion Army band, which, with drums and Instruments muffled, played the sweet, sad strains of the "Dead March In Saul." formed up outlde ot the un dertaking rooms of Thomson and Co.

Six of Ihe late officer's comrades acted as pallbearers. These were: William Dickson, Thomas Johnston, John J. Sampson, James W. Rutledge, Hugh Munro and James btelfox. In addition to these a squad of 100 constables and four sergeants, together with the chief of police and Deputy Chief Newton and two Inspectors, represented the police department.

The fire department was represent ed by Chief Buchanan and fifty men from the various city Are halls. The other chic departments were represented by the board of control and Mayor Deacon, while the rest of the procession consisted of some hundreds of members of the orders of the Knights of Pythias and Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The floral offerings were numerous and exceedingly beautiful, some of them coming from the most unexpected sources, which bespoke the city- nide esteem In which this policeman- hero was held.

Lanigan Replies to De claration Made Before Board of Trade MIDDLEMEN TAKE TOO MANY TOLLS Quotes Freight Rates and States it Costs Less to Transport Cattle Thousand Miles by Rail Than to Deliver Meat in City Replying to a charge made In a recent Winnipeg board of trade meeting by H. A. Mulllns to the effect that the high freight rates on livs stock had driven the cattle-raising Industry out of business, W. B. Lanigan, genoral freight agent of the C.P.R who this morning returned from the east, gave the following Interview to Ths Tribune.

"The coBt of carrying a steer from Calgary to Winnipeg is a halt cent a pound live weight. The cost of sirloin steak in Winnipeg Is fifty cents a pound. Vr. Mullins might busy himself saying who gets the other 4'Jl cents a pound. Similarly the cost If transportation of live stock from Russell to Winnipeg is 1-5 of a cent a pound.

The consumers of Winnipeg know what It costs them for meat In Winnipeg as well as I do. Percentage to Carriers "Now If the freight rates have killed the industry so that It no longer pays the farmer to raise cattle, the figures quoted above show the percentage that go to the carriers, "It might be Interesting to know who Is getting wealthy between tha farmer and the consumer. 1 don't want to say that ths packing houses have been making an enormous profit. I don't believe they have. But there are a good many people that Intervene between the farmer and the consumer, all of whom take a toll.

City Delivery High "Inquiry will prove that It costs more to deliver meat from the railroad car to the consumer than It does to carry It a thousand miles by railway." "What do you consider to be the cause of the high prices of meat at the present time, Mr. LnnipanV" "Because the western farmer can make more money or a profitable living In an easier manner.
