/ .soCIAL1srIC SUPREME COURT
New York .Ianrnal.l


The news that comes up from New
Orleans about the Louisiana Supreme
court. the Illinois Central Railway Conn
pany and the New Orleans water front,
is likely to send spasms of indignation
first, and then of fear, along the spines
of good many people.
1t seems that the railway company got
the City CounciI-some former members
of which are now meditating in States
prison--to give it certain rights on the
river front, adjoining which the company
had bought sixty acres of ground. As
soon as the ordinance was made good,
the company spent 100000 in building
docks, wharves, warehouses, and so on.
and last October President Stuyyesant
Fish conducted an impressive ceremony
at and by which the improvements were
solemnly dedicated as the StuyVesant
Docks.
But new the unsympathetic Supreme
court of Louisiana has stepped in and up
set everything 10y deciding that the City
Councils gift is invalid, because, the
judges say, THE river bank is the prop
erty of the whole people, open to all traf-
fc, and cannot be set aside to the special
use of any one company"
This socialistics or-to describe it more
accurately--this communistic. decision of
the Louisiana Supreme court is bound to
stir mp a considerable row, IN this part
of the country at any rate. Down in
Louisiana there may still be traces Of the
idea that this country was not discover
ed, settled, fought for and preserved for
the exclusive benefit Of the great busi-
ness interests" But in these parts that
idea is as extinct as Adams off OK; and
everybody viii be greatly surprised and
very indignant at the Louisiana Su-
preme court. The judges will be called
theorists" Socialists" anarchists"
They will be denounced as enemies of
the country" Tt viii be charged that
they are presidential influences, and that

tion" Worst of all, it viii be pointed
out that their decision is virtual con-

is good and irrefragable as soon as the

II all the things are true that have
heen said lately about the trusts, the
quality of common sense may as well
retire from business. There is no fur
ther use for it. For example, it was
brought out in the Lexow inquiry into
the Sugar Trust that since the trusts
fOrma ton the wages Of employees have
been increased by fully 10 per cent; that
there was practically no profit in refining
sugar before this increase that since the
increase the profit has grown larger,
though it is still so small the trust has
20 figure very closely; that the number Of
employees is greater now than formerly,
and that for several years past the trust
has paid dividends averaging more than
$20,000,000 a year on an actual capitali-
zation of about $6,000,000, or more than
400 per cent per annum Yet there are
no more refneries now than in the old
days: the price of sugar to the consumer
has been reduced; a good many of the
refineries have been kept closed all the
time
Then there is the Steel Rail
Trust, which has just gone to pieces.
While it was sound and thriving the menu
bers of it used to say that steel rails
could not possibly be sold under S26 a ton
except at a loss; that was the minimum
price compatible with business; they told
their employees it WAS out Of the question
to raise wages under such circumstances
Then the trust received a smashing blow
and collapsed; steel rails went down to
SIT a ton; all the ex-members clamored
for orders at that price, including the
mill which had been receiving 100000
a year from the trust to keep still; testi-
mony poured in from many Of the ex-
members that they would jump at
chance to make steel rails at SIT a ton
i'm any quantity for any length of time;
orders came in a rush; everybody was
jubilant and happy to say that good times
for everybody were here at last. The
Illinois Steel Company, which as a gener-
al thing makes one-third of all the steel
rails made in the country every year.
lighted the fires in It's furnaces, which
had been cold for months, and put back
$500 men on its payroll, and a healthy
boom in the steel rail industry seems to
be booming.
1t is not pleasant to think that any
of the prominent citizens who run the
trusts and big corporations would say
what is not true about their concerns
and their relations between them and
their employees and the public. But what
else can be thought in such cases as
these?
