RAILROAD CONCENTRATION.

The annual review of l.. Fl. Taylor q
Co. contains this in regard to the con-
centration of railroad ownership: "ln
considering the progress being made
toward consolidation, attention is called
in the East to the number of roads
drawn into the Big Four combination,
to the Chesapeake & Ohio sale and to the
West Shore deal. In the South, the
Richmond Terminal has acquired an inn
mense mileage, while the SouthernPacliic
on the Pacific slope and in the Southwest
operates 5000 miles. Altogether, four
teen companies or individuals represent
the controlling power on at least 100, OO0
miles. This Capitalization of ownership
makes division of traffic comparatively
easy, and all the powers and functions
of a trust can be had without the forma-
ton of an actual corporation obnoxious
to the Legislatures. In the past year
there have been failures by some con-
tractors to float bonds designed to build
competitive mileage. At the meeting to
form the Inter State Commerce Asso-
citation in January last, Mr.. ). Plerpont
Morgan, speaking for the great banking
houses, said that in the future tinanclers
would not only refrain from negotiating
bonds to construct competing lines, but
that they would do all IN their power to
prevent others from floating such bonds.

Cotton Strikes in the South.

The press room employees in one of the
cotton oil mills opposite New Orleans
have struck for higher wages and large
number of men are temporarily out of
employment. The men at present receive
81 20 per day. They ask an increase to
50 50. The employees of another mill,
the Union. which is practically under
the same management, also made ST.
milar demand and, as the company re-
fuses to accede, the hands will go out.
The strike among the press room men
viii affect other departments of the
mills. A strike was threatened in the
Southern mill belonging oan opposition
company, but the demand for higher
wages was not pressed. Strikers are
quiet and no trouble is feared. These
mills are the largest of their kind in the
country.

THE SUGAR TRUST.

The interference of the Courts with
the Sugar Trust is assuming an interest
ing aspect. A plan was recently adopted
to convert the trust into corporation
chartered in Connecticut. To that cor
poraton was to be transferred all the
property of the trust Officials of the
trust denied this, but there was evidence
enough to make the scheme PLAIN. Mr..
A. Foster Higgins of this city, whose
home is at Stamford, is at the head of
the Connecticut corporation chosen to
be the trusts successor, and President
Havemeyers clerks have been made
Directors in the company.
1t has been believed by the people
interested in the litigation against the
Sugar Trust, however, that no attempt
would be made at any conversion scheme
pending the action of the Court of APP.
peals upon the case now before 1.-THE
case decided against the trust originally
by Judge Barrett, whose decision has
since been confirmed by the General
Term, by which the trust has been held
to be "a criminal enterprise.
There was some surprise, therefore,
when it was announced in Wall street
last Thursday that Judge lngraham had
issued a formal injunction to restrain
the trust from converting itself into a
legal corporation. 1t was also ordered
that no more monies be paid out in div
idends pending the decision by the Court
of Appeals.
The recent refusal of officers Of the
trust to permit large stockholders tc
gain any knowledge of the trusts tinan
cial affairs is supposed to have been one
of the inducements for the seeking OF
this injunction.
AS soon as Judge Ingraham's action
became known, the stock of the trust
fell to 81, the lowest price it has ever
touched. Only little while ago 1t sold
above 1876. Then the $50, 900, 900 capita
had market value of $62 800, 900; now
the value is $25 100000, showing a
shrinkage of $37, $4,000 AS its prop
erty is in no way injured, and as I'll
founders have PROFESSIONALLY realized
an enormous profit by selling large
portion of their stock at tn inflated
figures, the latter are now probably
buying up again the stock at its panic
prices; 80 that, in the end, the inter
ference of the Courts must prove &
source of enormous profit to the origina
tors of the trust. In the end, also, il
the trust is dissolved, no power can pre-
vent the formation of "A legal corpora

Revolving the Charters.

action was taken in accordance with the
provisions of the antitrust law. The
company refused to make affidavit that
it was not member of the Stove Trust.
The Simmons Hardware Company of

quired affidavit. The Secretary of State
has begun quo-warranto proceedings
against it requiring tito show cause why
its charter should not be revoked.

PLATFORM OF THE S. L P.
As Adopted by the Chicago COnyen.
tiOn, October 12, 1889.


tiOn, October 12. 1889.
The Socialist Labor Party CT the
United States, in convention assembled,
reasserts the inalienable right of all
men to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.
With the founders OF the Ameri-
can republic we hold that the pur
pose Of government is to secure ev-
cry citizen in the enjoyment of this
right; but in the light of our social con-
ditions we hold, furthermore, that no
such right can be exercised under sys-
TEN of economic inequality, essentially
destructive of life, of liberty, and of
happiness.
With the founders of this repub-
lie we hold that the true theory of
politics is that the machinery of gov
eminent must be owned and controlled
by the whole people; but in the light of
our industrial development we hold,
furthermore, that the true theory of
economics is that the machinery of
production must likewise belong to the
people in common.
To the obvious fact that our despotic
system Of economics is the direct oppo-
site of our democratic system of poll
tics, can plainly be traced the existence
of privileged class, the corruption of
government by that class, the alienation
of public property, public franchises
and public functions to that class, and
the abject dependence Of the mightiest
of nations upon that class.
Again, through the perversion of de-
mocracy to the ends of plutocracy, labor
is robbed of the wealth which it alone
produces, is denied the means of self
employment, and by compulsory idle
ness in wage-slavery, is even deprived
of the neceSsaries of life.
Human power and natural forces are
thus wasted, that the plutocracy may
rule.
Ignorance and misery with all their
concomitant evils are perpetuated, that
the people may be kept in bondage.
Science and invention are diverted
from their humane purpose to the en-
slavement of women and children.
Against such system the s. L. P. once
more enters its protest. Once more it re-
iterates its Fundamental declaration that
private property in the natural sources
of production and in the instruments of
labor is the obvious cause of all eco
nomic servitude and political depend
ence; and
Whereas, the time is fast coming when,
in the natural course of social evolu-
tion this system, through the destruc-
tive action of its failures and crises on
the one hand, and the constructive ten
denotes of its trusts and other capital
stic combinations on the other hand,
shall have worked out its own down
fall; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we call upon the PEG.
pie to organize with view to the sub
stitution of the cooperative common
wealth for the present state of plan
less production, industrial war and So
cial disorder; a commonwealth in which
every worker shall have the free exer-
else and full benefit of his faculties,
multiplied by all the modern factors of
civilization.
We call upon them to unite with us
in mighty effort to gain by all prac-
ticable means the political power.
In the meantime, and with view to
immediate improvement in the condi,
ton of>Labor, we present the following

HELENA, Oct. l6.-The Davis will case
came up in the supreme court this morn
ing on an appeal by Henry A. Root To
have set aside the judgment of the district
court in Silver Bow county appointing
John A. Davis administrator. Kirkpatrick
d Forbis OF Butte appeared for Davis and
argued the latter's fitness for the place
and against Roots qualifications for the
position.
In the brief filed by Nathaniel Myer OF
New York, who is associated with John b.
Clayberg Of this city for Root, the argi-
ment is made that Davis Is unfit for the
position of administrator on the grounds
OF his improvidence, drunkenness. want
OF integrity and the errors in the exclu-
sion of evidence in the lower court.
Roots side Of the case will be heard 10
morrow.
Last August an uncle OF one of Andrew
j. Davis nieces appearedin Butte and ap-
piled for an order from the district court
TO have John A. Davis examined particu-
larry as TO the discovery of the alleged
fraudulent will. Roots attorneys here
say that while the court had the applica-
tion under consideration Davis disap-
pcared from Butte and is supposed to
have gone 20 Canada. They do not know
his mission there. After Davis left Butte
the court denied the application TO have
him examined.
