RIAL AND FICTITIOUS CAPITAL.

1t is astonishing that while some oil
the papers espouse the cause of labor
and others take the side Of capital in
the present conflict, not one paper in
this state has so far stated the true is
sue. They say it is a conflict between
labor and capital. The real contest is
between genuine labor and spurious
capital, created solely by the stroke of
a pen and having no birth or origin in
money whatever. In order to enable
alleged finsnciers to sell stock so Gre
ated. and to pay dividends upon ticti-
tious value, the wages OF working men
are cut down to almost nothing. For
unskiled labor we make no plea, but
skilled labor ia another thing en-
tirely. No people ever yet became
rich or prosperous through the
mere production of crude staples.
The south tried that with her old
slave labor System, and would be poorer
today than when she frat began, were
it not for the recent introduction of
white labor into Tennessee, Alabama
and Georgia.
How does our skilled labor originate :?
Out of drudgery and self denial. A boy
of Is years old can get $50 month to
drive street car or do any one OF O
dozen things OF that sort, but he knows
that's all he ever can get out OF it.
There is no stepping stone in the buai-
ness. and it works like Cookers "rule
of three" The boy who drives street
car for $50 month at 20 years of age
will be apt to drive one for $50 month
at 80 years of age. As most OF our
American boys look forward to some
thing better than that, they learn
trades.
Most boys 60 at II years to learn
trades. The first six months they get
% per week and 50 q week for the year
that follows. AT the expiration OF two
years they get about s5 par week, and in
the fourth year their wages are raised to
81 or IS. At the expiration OF the
fourth year the apprentice becomes a
journeyman and gets from 35 TO so cents

men of Pullman's caliber can bs trusted
to fix the scale of wages, all this prepar.

thing near home. In 1880 the Oregon
Steam Navigation company was sold out
for 1850. 900 by the four principal own
ers, Messrs. Ainsworth, Thompson. Reed
and Ladd. who owned all but about 100
shares. The purchaser was Henry Viii
lard, who at oncs changed the name Of
the company to the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company and "watered" the
stock up to $6.000,Uo0 which he put
into his pocket. Here is the rate Of
wages on the company's steamers for the
period covered by the sale, the third

tionable and unquestioned axiom, is

Let us illustrate our meaning from
the existing state of affairs. II the
commissioners of the interstate COM
merce law were constituted q board
of arbitration with full powers
to hear and determine such con-
troversies as we are now deal
ing with. and could sit as q court of
equity in all such cases, what would
prevent it at the very incipieacy OF the
trouble to have settled it on principles
OF right and justice? They could deter
mine whether 91ls cents day wages
were the fair proportion OF the hire of
which the Pullman workers were
worthy. If. after fair investigation Of
the returns capital received, they found
it was not. they could fix the sum they
should receive, and the company could
either pay it or 60 out of business. On
the other hand they could say to the
men, here is the schedule of the wages
you shall receive. You can take it or
quit work, and make room for other
laborers who are willing to accept it.
The trusts and corporations will have
to be handled in this way, or worse will
come of it. We must amplify the law to
meet the evil and furnish lie special
tribunals 10 enforce the remedy or a
clash may come that may remind ulN in
ita results of the picture drawn by

Zealand standing upon fragment OF
