plished one of these acts, it has
diminished the opportunity tor Sc.
curing employment, and at the same
time made an addition to the ever.
swelling army of wage-workers,
thus increasing competition in the
labor market from two directions.
This has gone on until the struggle
has become simply appalling and
all but unbearable. Notwithstand-
ing all these dire effects directly
traceable to contraction, the order
from Wall street is still, Cut down
the money volume. They say, 1--WE
want an honest dollar" and lie
when they say 1t. An appreciated
dollar is no more an honest dollar
than is a forty-inch yard-stick an
honest measure.
The station agent can no more es-
cape his share of responsibility in
the impending crisis than he has
escaped being drawn into the out.
rageous competition in the labor
market. He may, it is true, shirk
the responsibility, but his use Of the
talent given him will be inquired
into as inevitably as the rising OF
the sun. God and Nature never
forget to register. He cant dodge
competition, however. He must
share with all wage-earners in com
mon, when it comes to that-even
though he DOES stand near the front
ranks in amount of salary received las
it is susceptible of the easiest proof
that he does suffer in lack Of remu-
neration for honest labor in common
with all other branches of labor,
and from the very same causes, IL at
once becomes clear that whatever
will benefit all will benefit him, and
that neither he nor any other branch
of wage-earning labor, can secure
any decided and lasting increase in
wages unless labor in general re-
ceives a similar benefit. In these
respects, if no other, wage-earners
are indeed brotherhood.
AS it cannot be gainsaid that pol
itics has been the steed that has
borne us into this struggle for the
means of sustaining life, politics
can, should and must carry us out.
Now, my plan for securing an ad
vance in agents salaries is, "Gc

from the pen Of E. N. Simons. for
merly of this city. 1t appeared in
The Station Agent for July We
wish every railroad man could read
it:
The problem elbow best to secure
a REIMBURSEMENT and increase of
agents salaries" is one that should
engage our most earnest attention,
and is similar to the one that is alb
sorbing the deepest thought of the
major portion of our American
people.
While it is an undeniable fact that
agents salaries are, as whole, far
too low, it is equally indisputable
that nine-tenths of the wage-earners
of our country are confronted by
the same grim condition of affairs.
As it is a condition and not theory
- with which we have to deal, we
should treat it as a condition. 1t
is, or should be, clear to all that a
condition is simply an effect, and
the commonest kind of common
sense teaches that every effect must
have it's preceding cause or causes.
Now, one effect is low wages, and
he must be dull indeed who does
not comprehend that the immediate
cause of these low wages is forced
and unnatural competition in the
labor market. Our million tramps
and several million semi-employed
thoroughly attest the truth of this
statement, and while present condi-
tions exist it is folly to argue other
wise. The station agent can no
more escape this cruel competition
than can the laborer with pick and
shovel; and as they are both ground
down with the same milestone, their
interests are one and inseparable.
Now, if we use our reasoning
powers little, we will discover that
this forced and unnatural COMPETE
ton in the labor market is only an
other effect, and must have had
it's preceding cause. Specialists
(cranks) in political economy tell
us-and past events bear out their
statement-that this effect was
caused by the unwarranted, vicious
and criminal (although sometimes
dubbed legal) contraction of our
country's currency. Now, you will
say 1 am getting into politics, and
right you are. Politics carried us
into these dire straits, and l
simply propose to ride out on the
same steed. Beginning with the
devilish exception clause on the
greenback, followed by the no less
diabolical creditstrengthening act,
and not even ending with Satan's
own plot to demonetize silver, it has
been the untiring aim of organized
