THE CHICAGO PUBLIC AND THE STRIKE
1t has been apparent throughout the Chicago
strike that the restoration of order was hindcred
by the sympathy shown the strikers on the part
of the public. Public opinion in fact would not
sanction the energetic measures which were re-
qnired to secure adequate protection for the
West Division Car Company, and this fact
added to the political tmdity Of Mayor IIlrrl-
son. made it impossible to put an end to the
state of nwlessness that prevailed. But why
WIS public opinion against the corporation
Not because 1t was in tn ~rong in the existing
dispute for it was clcaI ight there, being
simply engaged in maintaining its claim to
handle its own property in its own way. But
il had alienatcd public sympathy by Its attitude
toward its patrons. 1t had ignored the rights OF
passengers; hal systematically run It's lines
with Il single eye to money-maklns; had re-
fused To consider the comfort and convenience
of the people; and so when its day of adversely
came those whom it had SO treated stood by
and laughed at its tribulation.
Public carriers who habitually abuse their
privileges; who deny the public tho con-
ycnicnce for which they have paid; who persist
in packing their cars to the verge OF snlfoca'
ton who encourage or permit insOlence on The
part of their employees; who, in short, treat the
people ~ their lawful prey rather than rs their
fellow-citzcns, are to be found elsewhere than
in Chicago. Such corporations, and III fact all
CORPORATIONS, are dependent upon public
opinion for protection quite rs much rs upon
the laws. In an American city no Mayor can do
much toward suppressing strike which has
popular approva and therefore 1t is perhaps
worth the while of directors and stockholders
in all such concerns to recognize the sound policy
of maintaining good relations with the public.
Had tue Chicago West Division Car Company
been popular corporation there can be little
doubt that Mayor Harrison would have found the
backing necessary to put down the lawless az
grcssion of the strikers within twenty-four
hours. AS it is, there has been week OF dis
order, and it is not certain that the end of the
trouble has been reached yet. There is IA moral
lesson in this affair which other public carriers
would do well to learn.

The annual Methodist district

The boarding tent will be under careful
management and will furnish meals at the
same rate as last year.
D. W Potter, of Chicago, has been Sc
cured for the entire meeting. The ara>
cious influences of the last camp meeting
have been felt throughout the district,

Postage on Drop Letters.

Some desire has been expressed for a
reduction of postage on drop letters from
cents to / cent. That cents should
be charged for delivering letter in city
where it is mailed, while the same price
will transport it across the continent, is
said to be anomalous. Whatever force
there may be in this argument might be
urged against charging the same price
for carrying letter from New York TO
Brooklyn as for carrying one from New
York to San Francisco. The plan Of rat
Ing postage according TO The distance OF
the carriage was wisely abandoned about
forty years ago. II might be said that it
is an an anamoly to charge ? cents for
carrying letter weighing half an ounce
when that sum will carry two ounces Of
merchandise or four ounces of books 1t
might be piausibly urged as equally in
consistent for the government to hire a
carrier in one city at charge of cent
each, and in another city compel the peo-
pie to 60 to the pOstofice for their letters
on which similar charge is exacted. If
the proposed change is made, . cents
will be charged for carrying letter from
the New York postofice TO Jersey City,
and only one cent tor carrying letter
from the New York postofice to Win
chester county, within the delivery limits
Of that office.

An Agreement.

Last week Supt. N. F. Royce, of the
Iowa lines of the c., R. /. & p railroad
attended a meeting of the Iowa lines Of
the c., NJ. & St. P, G. B. & O., c. & N.
W. and Wabash railroads. at Council
Bluffs, to consider the application of the
c., B. g. O. for admission to transfer
over the Missouri river. The transfer has
been operated for over a year by the al
lied lines exclusively, the expense being
divided between them, the Union Pacific
paying so per cent, and the rest being
shared equally by the Rock Island, Mil
waukee, Northwestern and Wabash.
Work has been done for the Burlington
and its leased lines at the rate OF 81 per
car for switching, and % cents per ton
for handling freight. The Burlington
thought it would be cheaper to come in
with the rest, and made propositions to
that effect which were accepted. At the
meeting on Friday, the Burlingtons rep
resentative put in the claim. that, as the
bulk of their business went via Platts>
mouth, and was not handled at the trans,
fer, they should be admitted on tonnage
basis instead of being compelled to pay
pro rata of the expense The superin.
tendents thought otherwise, however, and
their decision was to admit the Burling-
ton, dating from the LIST of August, On an
equal footing with the other roads The
expense is to be divided on the old basis
of 80 per cent by the Union Pacific, and
the other 80 by the Iowa lines

Reunion

The 1920 Illinois infantry will hold
reunion at Keithsburg September Cd Sd
and 4th. The occasion, it is needless to
say, is designed to be one of permanent
interest and profit to all "the boys of
the old regiment, to end, it is hoped, in
regimental organization. The move
ment for a reunion, originated with the
rank and file of the 102d, and the mems
bers who are charged with the prepare
tons. will omit nothing in their power to
provide tor the reception and accommo-
dation of their comrades in arms, and
their friends.
Isaac McManus Post, No. 446. G.. A.
R. will furnish camp aud rations. In this
post are MANY 1923 boys. The comrades
are widely scattered; trace of some is lost
and it will require united endeavor to
reach all. The thought that single
one of our cherished number, says cir
cular. with whom We have such exalted,
patriotic kinshir, should not be notified
Of this grandest of all occasions to meet
again face to face, all the living represeu-
tatives of our beloved regiment, and to
grasp by the hand those who stood with
him shoulder to shoulder in the deadly
breach, is indeed painful. Let us all
come together after twenty years
Of disbandment and make our re-
union the noblest love feast of our
lives We shall come with happy greet
ings, and proud memories Of hard aud
loyal service for our glorious country.
Our voices will mingle again, not as of
old in the rude shout and shock of battle,
but in rehearsing the story Of our tri-
umphs.
The situation of Keithsburg affords the
best OF facilities for reaching the place
Upon the Mississippi, boats ply regularly

railway crosses the river here, furnishing

cured on both Of these roads.
To furnish evening entertainment, the

nights Of the reunion.

A Livery Mans Misfortune

Last evening there were two levies on
the vehicles in the livery stable Of John
Evans, on West Seventeenth street, be-
low the Rock Island house. The cause
of the seizure was two chattle mortgages
which were due-one for $500 on d three
seated carriage, held by Neil McAuley,
and another for $500 on the buggies,
wagons and most Of the other vehicles in
the barn. This was held by Fannie s.
Fish. The action was brought by Messrs'
Sweeney & Walker, and W. H Gest
whose respective clients the mortgages
were. 1t is undertood the live stock is
also iucumbered to large extent Mr..
Evans is failing in health, and will leave
for Arkansas in a short time His i'll luck
is to be deeply regretted.

Another Scorcher.

1t may be Of interest to a sweltering
humanity, if not consolation, to know the
extent of the heat today; how far towards
100 the mercury has been. The intensity
of the heat has been probably felt to a
greater extent than any day this season.
There have been hotter days, but none
where the condition of the atmosphere
was so hard to bear; this from the fact
that there was little or no breeze stir
ring. The thermometer ranged from
90 to 9j in the shade, and under the rays
of the MONDAY sun, ones chances for
escaping prostration seemed very uafa-
vorable

New Street.

This afternoon the street and alley
committee of the city council met and
consulted with MessY, E. H, Guyer and
Charles Case with relation to cutting
Thirty fifth street through the bluff, and
thereby giving a second road to Rock
river. 1t was reported that S279 in
money and $3.50 guaranteed in labor by
certain Of the residents in that part Of
town for the opening of the thoroughfare.
The committee decided to allow the work
on condition that Mr.. Reynolds would
do the work for the city for the earth
which he will probably do, as it will
come in handy in the construction of the
o" embankment.
