to the decisions of the strike commission
after summary hearing, unattended by
technicalities, and that pending appeal nc

each side shall have the right to select one
person SO sit with the commission in
that case, the president Of the United
States confirming the appointment-the
object being to encourage incorporation OF
labor bodies. During pudency of such
a case neither the railways nor the EN-
ployes shall make any hostile move, nor fol

required of labor unions that they expel
all who use force or violence or destroy
property during a strike, but that mem

DlSAPPRoVES OF THE MANAGERS.
A shrewdly Devised Plan of Corporations
to- Usurp Power.

A Shrewdly Devised Plan of Corporations
to Usurp Power.
The commission then questions the To-
gality of the association and says it is "an
| illustration Of tho persistent and shrewdly
devised plans of corporations to over-reach
their limitations and to usurp Indirectly
powers and rights not Iotherwisel obtain
able. An extension of this association
and the proposed legalization of = ,oling'
would result in an aggregation of power
and capital dangerous to the people and
| their liberties as well as to employees and
| their rights. The question would then
certainly arise as to which shall control,
| the government or the railroads, and the
end would inevitably be government own
crship Unless ready for that result and
all that 1t implies the government must
restrain corporations within the law and
prevent them from forming unlawful and
dangerous combinations.
"At least, so long as railroads are thus
permitted to combine to fix wages and for
| their joint protection, it would be rank in
| Justice to deny the right of all labor upon
| railroads to unite for similar purposes. 1t
| should be noted that until tho railroads
| set the example general union of rail-
road employees was never attempted. The
unions had not gone beyond enlisting the
men upon different systems in separate
trade organizations" having mo such
scope or capacity for good or evil as Is
| possible under the universal combination
idea inaugurated by the railroads and fol-
lowed by the American Railway Union.
| The refusal of tho General Managers asso-
citation to recognize and deal with such u
combination of labor as the American
Railway Union seems arrogant and alb
| surd whom we consider its standing before
| the law"

A Bargain to Our Readers

The MICHIGAN FARMER is the recognized
organ of all the Agricultural, Horticultural
and Live Stock organizations of our State.
Is filled every week with bright, progressive
original matter, written by paid contrbut-
ors who are educated, successful farmers of
Michigan, fully acquainted with our soils,
climate and systems of agriculture. 1t is
thoroughly frst-class in every particular,
reaches nearly every postofIice in the state
within 10 hours from the press, giving the
agricultural news and actual markets OF the
preceding day. Its editorials are heightened
and fearless for the farmers rights and its
management spares no expense to add
everything possible to its value. To be
able to offer such great weekly journal
and THE TIMES, both one year for
SLAB, will be appreciated, we think as a
d ecided bargain by our readers.

Uncle Sans Treasury Wants Fifty Million
i'm Yellow Metal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Secretary Car
Isle late yesterday afternoon issued his
call for bids for $50, 100000 5-per cent. ten
year bonds, interest to be be paid in coin,
which is interpreted to mean gold. The
only material changes made in the present
call from that issued JAN II last are the
omission of the upset or minimum price
which would be accepted and the notice
that the proposals for the present issue
must be sealed. Bids will be received up
to noon of the oath instant.
Bidders whose proposals are accepted
will be required to pay 20 per cent. in
gold coin, or gold certificates upon the
amounts of their bids as soon as they re.
ceive notice of the acceptance of such bids,
and to pay in like coin or certifi cates, an
additional 20 per cent. at the expiration
of each ten days thereafter until the whole
is paid; but they may, at their option,
pay tho entire amount of their bids when
notified of acceptance, or at any time
when an installment is payable.
1t is confidently expected at the treasury
department that an amount will be

ceivcd on tho February issue. This ex-
pectation is based on the fact that there
arc exceptionally large amounts of money
now lying idle and seeking investment. in
the money centers of the country, and
upon the further fact that the February
issue is now quoted ut s1lS.50, or about 2
per cent. above the price which would
yield 3 per cent From the last issue
there was realized SOS, $780, l7.63, and of
this amount $50, $50. 1854. "a was in gold coin,

compelled to take i'm making change.
While these amounts were actually paid
into tho treasury in gold or its equivalent
very considerable amount of gold was
withdrawn from the sub-treasures for the
express purpose of using it again in paying
for the bonds. The exact amount thus
withdrawn cannot be asccrtaincd, but the
best knowledge obtainable is that it ap.
proximatcd S15,O000OO. With view of a
more exact estimate of the amounts which
may be withdrawn between now and the
settlement of all accounts under the call
the sub-trcasurics will from this date keep
a record of all deposits of legal tenders
made i'm exchange for gold and the names
of the firms or persons making them.

and Government Ownership.

Some Remarks on Corporations, Comb ines
and Government Ownership.
The report declares that the arrival of
the troops ut Chicago was opportune, and
says that policemen sympathized with the
strikers rather than with the corporations
cannot be doubted, nor would 1T be sur
prising to find the same sentiment rife
among the military. These forces arc
largely recruited from the laboring classes.
Indeed, the danger is growing that in
strike wars between corporations and en-
ploycs, military duty will ultimately have
to be done by others than volunteers from
labor ranks. United States deputy mar
shals to the number of 1900 were selected
by and appointed ut request of the General
Managers association and of its railroads.
They were armed and paid by the rail
roads and acted i'm the double capacity OF
railroad employees and United States Off
GERS. The commission thinks this bad
precedent.
In conclusion the report says: "Sinco
nations have grown to the wisdom OF
avoiding disputes by Cancellation, and even
OF settling them by arbitration, why
should capital and labor in their depend
ence upon each other persist in cutting
each others Threats as settlement of diff
ferenccsp Were our population

1000 or 5000 people in Pullman ms TAX
ing advantage o. its privileges. This
part OF the subject Is treated similarly
all through. When the Pullman COM
pany Is credited with some act that looks
liberal and generous 1t Is Immediately
shown that there Is q selfish motive at the
bottom.
Generally the system at Pullman Is
condemned as paternalistic, and it is
stated that under such system, when de-
preston came it called for mutual con-
cessions in wages, rents, etc, but that
when these were needed there was found
on one side an unyielding corporation and
on the other multitude of werkmen lily
able to meet the issue. Says the report:
1.-The conditions created at Pullman en-
able the management ut all times to assert
with great vigor its assumed right to fix
wages and rents, absolutely and to re-
press that sort of independence which
leads to labor organizations and their at
tempts at mediation, arbitration, strikes,
etc. The men at Pullman claim
that the company during 1S93-94 set the
pace through experts, SO that with their
forced loss of time anaverage man could
earn little more than the rent os his home. 1"
Then the report goes on to show that in
some cases the men in two weeks earned
little more than their rent, and calls at
tention to the fact that no superintendent
or officials salary was reduced. The re-
port says that the Pullman company rep
resented that what it did was for the
workmen's benefit while the testimony
showed that it was for its own Outside
of aesthetic features rents in Pullman
We're 20 to 25 per cent. higher than else
where in Chicago and these aesthetic feat
ures have little money value to employees.
The method of collecting rent is an eva
sion of the anti-truck law of Illinois, and
generally the company claiemd the right
to ''avail itself to the full extent of bust
ness depression and competition in reduc-
ing wages and to disregard these Same con-
ditions as to rents. No valid reason is as
signed for this position except simply that
the company had the power and the legal
right to do it, 1t also aimed to regulate
the whole wage scale at Pullman by the
wages paid men at work in that branch
that had to meet the closest competition.

abroad, present industrial conditions
would keen us much more disturbed than
we now are by contests between capital
and labor. Some of our courts, however,
are still pouring over the law reports OF
antiquity in order to construe conspiracy
out,Of labor unions. We also have en-
ployers who obstruct progress by pervert-
ing and misapplying the law of supply and
demand and who while insisting upon
individualism for workmen, demand that
they shall be let alone to combine as they
please"
The report then instances the railway
combinations together with those of other
corporations, which have largely destroyed
competition and seriously disturbed the
working of the law of supply and demand.
The question of corporate power is ex-
haustively discussed and the benefits given
the county by corporations are admitted,
but we have encouraged corporate power
and neglected labor power. To encourage
labor combines to prosper legltimately
and responsibility would not be hostile to
the true interests and rights of either la
Dor or capital. But recommendations for
specific remedies are prematufe. The gov
eminent ownership of the railways is a
problem too vast 1t belongs TO socialism.
But these questions are pressing more
urgently us time goes on and should be
well studied by citizens.
"Should continued combinations and
consultations result in dozen or
less ownorships of our railroads within a
few years, as is by no means unlikely, the
question of government ownership will be
forced to the front and we need to be
ready to dispose of it intelligently.
Other nations own and operate
telegraphs and railroads with varying re-
suits. Whether it is practicable for this
nation to do so successfully when
the people determine it shall be done Is
an open and serious question.
''We ought now to inaugurate perma-
nent system of investigation into the rela-
tions between railroads and employees in
order to prepare to deal with them intelli.
gently, and that we may conservatively
adopt such remedies as are sustained by
public opinion for defects or wrongs that
may from time to time appear" The COM
mission contends that law should make ii
obligatory upon some public tribunal
promptly to intervene by means of investi-
CATION and Cancellation and to- report
whenever difficulty of the character OF
that occurring during the past season at
Chicago arises.
