NO PENT.UP UTICA

Los Angeles can not become great un
der the control and political domination
of even so beneficent a corporation as
the Los Angeles Railway company.
This San Francisco syndicate control
ling our streets and roads denies to new
companies and to old companies even
the right to live. They do this, not on
the ground of competition, but on the
ground that. the Los Angeles Railway
company will do absolutely nothing to
build up, or permit to be built up, prop
erty in street cars or maintain, or permit
to be maintained, existing values not its
own property. In other words, the game
is "freeze-out" The San Francisco
syndicate will rule or ruin. The old
equipment and the complete monopoly
of the center is everything, the growth
and the future of Los Angeles is moth
ing. San Francisco, itself, is just emerg-
ing from a long commercial night under
the relentless grasp of the Southern
Paclnc monopoly. II seems now tndt
one of its syndicates, infected with the
deadly folly of an immoral monopoly
seeks to fasten upon Los Angeles the
curse from which San Francisco's COM
merce is escaping. Los Angeles car
have no peace with its hands tied. We
must have full and free opportunity to
expand. We must go out to meet our
great destiny.
Los Angeles can not sit twiddling
thumbs waiting for a permit to work
out its own salvation from a body of
foreign stockholders. We want to be
in a position to govern our own destiny.
San Francisco is nice city, the Los
Angeles railway syndicate located in
that breezy place is made up of nice men.
Yet, admitting all this, Los Angeles
does not want to have to go up to San
Francisco for permits to develop this or
that quarter of the city or to invite this
or that suburb to join hands with us.
That is what Los Angeles has to do
now.
Nobody wants Bulla's railway bill ex-
cept the Los Angeles Railway company
with headquarters in San Francisco and

THE SUNDAY HERALD

The Herald is not given to vain boasting,
bu. is satisfied by the verdict of its con-
stituents-that each Sundays issue is bet
ter than the last. That of tomorrow, the
9TH instant, will be no exception to this high
standard and it will be found to contain
from cover to cover nothing that can give
the intelligent reader a single dull moment.
The fullest news of the world by cable
and telegraph will be presented in attract
i've form, while all local events of import
ance will be duly chronicled.
The eyes of the world are fixed on Greece
just now. In tomorrow's Herald will be
found some facts of absorbing interest con-
cerning this gallant little nation and its
brave princes. Their portraits will be Civ
en- and picture of the Grecian navy.
A fire engine with pneumatic tires and
horseless is certainly a novelty. London,
Eng, already boasts such, and a descrip-
ton and photograph of 1t will be given.
An entirely new pastime the possibili-
ties of which battle the imagination, will be
described and illustrated.
There is special treat in store for the
prettily illustrated this week that even cal
lous men will be captivated.
The series of most interesting and at
tractive articles on Twenty-Five Years of
Progress in Southern California will be
continued, Riverside county on this occa-
sion being the district treated.
Marion ]. Kinwell's stirring story. ''The
Lost Desert Mine" is a graphic piece of
writing, and its interest will be further en-
hanced by illustrations.
Pension day at the county court house
will be described; the old soldiers in line
and the widows of veterans who often pre-
sent pathetic pictures, and the suave cour-
tesy and kindness of Sam Kutz.
When the unemployed problem is ubiq-
utous and puzzing the minds of both So
cial economists and practical men of the
world, description of the successful and
entirely satisfactory way in which Ger
many has solved the problem by its ''coo-
nies for the unemployed" will be of timely
and valuable interest.

danelles. and is sufficiently powerful to
vanquish every opposition in those wa
ters.
1t is very probable that If the domina-
tion of this one objective point could
be settled by agreement, the Turk
would not be allowed to rule for even
a week and the dismemberment and d.
vision of his territory would proceed
with praiseworthy dispatch. But. iDas-
much as the sultan has unquestionably
suspended his work of numbering and
pillaging his subjects, and has submitted
to all the demands of his dictators, and
as he has promised to institute and
has practically set about the work, the
average observer would expect to see
the fleets of the powers disperse, with
only a sufficient force remaining to note
and report progress to their respective
governments.
Now, at this critical point, little Greece
strikes for conquest, and hence the pow
ers' are compelled to not only remain.
but also to increase their armament.
But the Greek is manifestly either stark
mad or else engaged in carrying out the
will of a powerful but Secret adviser.
Without any means of enforcing her
demands. Greece bids defiance to the
combined fleets of Europe. Logically,
this is absurd but If she is put forward
to keep the eastern question in ferment
until the opportune moment arrives,
her course is explainable.
OF course, this part of the scheme is
sub rosa, but necessary, as the Turk
now, if left to himself, might possibly
go to work and patch up the ruins of
his empire for a further effort at mis-
government, in which case the powers
could go home empty handed. But it
is not at all likely that he will be given,
nor of course, does he deserve, the op-
portunity 1t is altogether likely that
the Ottoman empire is passing away.

The Unemployed and ws0es

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
aid: There seems to be misconcep-
tion of the purpose and spirit of the un-
employed mass meetings, which may
readily be corrected. These meetings
are directed. first, toward obtaining i'm
mediate relief work, and, second, to-
ward some permanent means of relief
Public opinion seems to agree with both
purposes. The Merchants associat ton
has taken up the one, and the advocates
of bond issue are urging the second
Both efforts are appreciated by the un-
employed.
The merchants seem to think that the
unemployed should now be entirely sat-
isfied. But I have talked with perfectly
respectable heads of families. unemploy
ed, and find this complaint: That 81
a day will not support them. Living at
a great distance from the park they
will have to pay 10 cents daily for street
cars, leaving 80 cents to sustain from
three to seven or more people day.
Suppose the street railways transport
500 men to and from the work each day
in ten days they will make nearly $500
cut of the unemployed-twice as much
as any contributor has yet given. III
a month they will make nearly $500
This renders the unemployed very
profitable to the street railways. And
buying food for the unemployed, in the
81 day on which they are expected to
keep their families.
The $1,000 promised by the council to
buy tools will go to merchant, and not
a cent to the unemployed-the profits to
the merchant will be from 10 to 25 per
cent-from $100 to $3.50 on the sale, so
that the existence and want of the un-
employed are to yield some individua,
merchant a handsome sum.
The money is to be used to embellisa
parks, and will decidedly increase the
value of the property about those parks,
and, in a degree, of all real estate in the
city In other words, as one of the pa
pers remarked, it is an excellent invest
ment for property owners in Los An
geles to have the unemployed improve
the parks The unemployed are not the
property holders, and will get none OF
this benefit
Is it not little hard. now, that when
the unemployed will be doing SO much

DECADENCE OF AMERICAN
SHIPPING

President Mckinley. in his inaugural
address, touched very pertinently upon
the decadence of the American merchant
marine. and there will be none to dis
pute his facts, no matter what may be
the differences of opinion as to causes.
In recent years the United States has
not been keeping up with the leading
nations of the world in the construction
of steam shipping vessels. From 1856 to
1894 there was remarkable falling off
in the addition of steam vessels in this
country as compared with other nations.
Between the years above mentioned
Germany built $50 vessels, of over 100
increasing froi1 601975 to liza, 1899
France. while not showing the marked
increase that Germany did, built thirty
two vessels, making an even total of SEQ
bottoms for the French, her tonnage also
went from 743, $50 to S55,375. But it is in
Great Britain, the mistress of the seas
and with whom the Unlteu states mas
every reason to be a competitor, that
we notice an enormous development in
the merchant marine. England built
1888 vessels, making a grand total of 5694
bottoms, and the increase in her tonnage
is simply astounding, having gone from
6,5i3,615 to 9,3S3,361. In this period the
United States has built forty-four steam
bottoms, giving her total of 42S vessels,
very fair increase, considering the num-
ber of bottoms constructed, /. e., from

there has never been any feasible reason
advanced why he should not again carry
his own commerce-that Is, so per cent
OF the total import and export trade OF
the United States In 1856, vessels with
total tonnage OF $50, ,450 were construct
ed In this country while in 1890 the in
creased tonnage was but S69,S09 in 1893
the numbers fell to 211, $685. only to drop
to the very low point of 1S1,194 in 1894.
In 1896 American bottoms carried COM
merce to the value of $SS,SSS, 513, while
our other cargoes, valued at $685. 2S2, ,44s,
were handled by foreign nations This
gives the reader some idea of the vast
ness of our commercial affairs. Some
writers try to account for this great fall
ing off in American shipbuilding by
saying that "our capitalists have been
almost exclusively engaged in manufac-
lures and railroad building" But is this
the real cause? We are inclined to be-
lieve not, in view OF the fact that mil
lions of dollars are annually spent in
reckless oil, and mining investments,
which. it is claimed, will pay better divi-
dends than ocean shipping. Many sup
posedly shrewd financiers have been
badly swindled on wildcat" mines be-
cause they were led to believe that by
investing considerable capital they could
~oor douhla or t,.;pie th air Investments
As matter of self protection, Amer
ican capital will soon have to find invest
ment somewhere and we are led to be-
lieve that as the rate of interest contin-
ues to fall-as it certainly must-finan-
ciers will become more generally inter-
ested in our merchant marine. 1t is the
greatest branch of undeveioped indus
try holding out a certainty of profitable
dividends to capital, aside from giving
steady employment to thousands of our
people. Is it not high time that our
government should give our steamship
lines some assistance? England, Ger
many and France built up their great
maritime interests in this manner
1t was the dream of Washington and
Jefferson and especially of Monroe, that
the United States should be the happiest
and most powerful nation in the world
and that day will never come till we
carry our own trade and whiten every
sea with the sails of American ships.

all around that they shall receive only
81 day for 1t?
The remedy is very simple and very
just. Cut down the time of employment
instead of cutting wages in two. En-
ploy men with families four days at
81 day instead of six days at 81 day.
By that means each man will receive
only little more than is now contem-
plated, but he will save also 20 cents n
week on street car fares. He will have
two days a week to look for private en-
ployment. He will feel that the property
owners are not wringing profitable work
out of him at half pay under the guise Of
generosity because he is forced to ac-
cept their terms or starve.
The only argument worthy of notice
against q 50 wage is that 1t might tempt
men out of other branches of work
where they are getting less. If the men
were employed only four days a week
It, would be better to employ single men
only two days a week at 81 a day than
four or even six days at 81. This would
not allure any from other permanent po-
sitions, and in the latter case the enl-
ploying committee would save 81 on
each single man each week.
If this plan Of payment were adopted
the unemployed and the Merchants as
sociation would reach substantial har-
mony on the subject of immediate re-
lief
Has 1t occurred to the merchants
committee that there are many unem-
ployed single women or widows in ex-
tremity, who cannot work on roads?
What provision is to be made for them?

umns of The Herald a few days ago
to the effect that a corporation had been
formed here for the purpose of manu-
