A Practical sueeestion

In communication which the MORNING
News publishes in this issue, the mer-
chants of this city are urged to establish
a freight bureau. The advantages of an
intelligently and wisely managed bureau
of the kind suggested are apparent to
those who take the trouble to give the
matter careful consideration. In many
cities such bureau has been established,
and the benefits arising from it are so
great that the merchants of those cities
would not now do without it.
The bureau keeps the merchants posted
as 10 freight rates to competing points,
shows them the means by which trade
is diverted from them to merchants of
other cities, and calls attention to rates
that are uniustifable and injurious to
their interests. These are only few of
the many ways in which freight bureau
is helpful to the merchants of town.
1t might be well for the trade bodies of
this city to consider at once whether or
not the communication in question con-
tains suggestions they can turn to practi-
cal account for the benefit of Savannah.
There is now cropping out a determine
ton among the business men of this city
to relieve the city's commerce of some of
it's most oppressive burdens. Great
as Savannah's commerce is, it would be
very much greater if these burdens were
removed. Those in position to know,
are of the opinion that Savannah would
have received as much as 100000 bales
of cotton this year if she had not been
handicapped by freight rates. Cotton
went from Savannah territory to Norfolk.
Port Royal, Charleston and Brunswick
1t is absolutely necessary that Savan-
| nah's business men shall take the steps
that are necessary to put Savannah on
| an equal footing with competing por is,
And there is no reason why Savannah s
wholesale trade should not be double
what it is With the advantages she has
she ought to be able to do the bulk of the
Wholesale grocery and dry goods trade
for three or four states.
This suggestion relative to a freight
| bureau is in the right direction. If it
can be made as helpful to the city's trade
! as it is claimed it can, there ought to be
no unnecessary delay in making prac-
teal application of it.

Those mississippi warrants.

1t appears that Gov. Stone, of Missis-
sippi, ana Chief Hazen of the treasury
department secret service, are operating
from different bases in the matter of the
seized Mississippi treasury warrants and
the plates from which they were printed
The facts seem to be that a St Louis
company printed for the state of Missis-
sippi a number of warrants of the demon
nations of 81, 90 and s.. Before the print
ing of the issue Of 100000 contracted for

titled the governor to forward all of the
unsigned warrants to Washington and
the printing company to cease printing
from the plates at once, and to turn them
over TO the treasury officials.
Gov. Stone regarded the treasury's de-
mand as questioning the authority of the
state of Mississippi to authorize and issue
such warrants, and refused to comply
On the other hand, the treasury people
say the papers and printing plates were
ordered seized because the warrants were
of the exact size and shape of federal
had the same general appearance as the
paper money of the government. The
law, they say, strictly prohibits the
making of anything in the simIli-
tude of obligations authorized by
the government, hence there was
only one thing to be done with regard to
the Mississippi warrants-especially since
it was known they were intended to pass
from hand to hand-and that was to con-
fscate the plates and seize as many of the
warrants as could be got hold of.
The treasury people do not question the
right of Mississippi to issue warrants.
but only insist that they shall not be
printed in imitation of United States
notes, If Gov. Stone holds that the state
can print its warrants in shape, size and
color to suit itself, a very important
point of law may have to be settled.

A Subject for Legislation

While congress is considering the labor
trouble question and endeavoring to find
a remedy for strikes it should also give
careful attention to railroad wreckers.
These railroad wreckers are responsible
for the financial condition of many of
the roads that are now in the hands of re-
ceivers. Thereought to be federal and state
laws making railroad wrecking crime
There is a bill pending in congress, intro
duced by Representative Strauss of New
York to prevent the abuses in manage
ment which have wrecked so many roads
1t provides for railroad examiners, who
are authorized to examine the accounts
and financial condition of Interstate roads
once every three months. The reports of
these examiners are TO be published, so
that the stockholders and the public may
know what the condition of each road is
If this bill should become a law it would
not be possible for a railroad company to
unload on the public, by false statements
or otherwise securities which have little
or no real value. The gross and net earn
ings and fixed charges of a road being
known. the public would be able to de-
termine whether or not the road could
pay interest on additional securities.
Some idea of the way the public is de-
ceived and robbed may be gained from
the case of the Milwaukee Street Rail
way Company, which was before the
board of assessors of that city last
Tuesday. on the question of the assess
ment of its property. The vice president
of the company is reported in dispatch
to have said: 81 feel like a criminal now,
and ought to be in the penitentiary for
inducing capitalists to invest in such a
losing enterprise" The force of this
declaration is understood when it is
known that this official declared that the
property was not worth over 5000, 900 and
that it was actually mortgaged for more
than Sl2 100000. What reckless state
ments must have been to have in
duced people to put $4,000, 900 in property
worth only S600,000i
This Milwaukee case is only one in
stance. There are numerous others, and
it is time there was legislation to protect
the people against those who get money
by statements respecting railroads that
are false.

A WAY to Avoid strikes

Editor Medill of the Chicago Tribune is
of the opinion that labor strikes can be
prevented by the contract system. 1t was
introduced on the railroads in Germany
by Bismarck, and has proven to be very
satisfactory. Each emp.oye has a con-
tract with the railroad with which he
is connected for definite period at a
stated scale Of wages. The railroad
agrees not to discharge him without due
notice during that time, provided he is
competent, is faithful and obeys the
rules Of the company. On the other
hand the employe agrees not TO leave the
company without giving it reasonable
notice Of his intention 20 do so.
This contract system carries with il
pension fund, made up Of a percentage

of the earnings Of the employees and Of
the gross earnings of the railroad compa-
MES. From this fund pensions are
| paid to men who become unfit for active
| duty from age, accident or sickness. In
other words it insures employees a
| livelihood in the event of sickness and
in old age, and provides a support for
the families of those of them who are
accidently killed or who die from natural
causes. In Mr.. Medills opinion if the
contract system were adopted the en-
ployes would not only be contented but
would take such an interest in the rail
roads with which they were connected
that the net earnings Of the roads would
be increased.
There is good deal of sound sense in
this plan. It would certainly destroy the
occupation of the professional labor agita
tor, and there does not now seem to- be
any good reason why it should not be re-
garded with favor by the roads. If the
employees felt absolutely certain
of their positions, and that
they would have some means of support
in old age and in the event of sickness,
solutely dependent in case of their death,
they would be much more content. They
would even be willing to accept the
slightly reduced wages that the deduc-
ton for the pension fund would make
necessary.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that some
plan will be found to bring about a better
understanding between railroads and
their employees. In making reductions
Of wages when traffic is light railroads
are not wholly to blame While it
is true that many of the roads are
bonded for far more than they cost,
it is also true that while employees are de-
manding higher wages, railroad commits
slons, urged by shippers, are continually
reducing rates, thus. lessening the ability
Of the roads to pay fair wages and keep
out of the hands Of receivers.
The railroad problem is a great one.
The man who solves it will be a benefactor
of his day and generation.
