A striking letter from James L.
Cowles, secretary of the Postal Prog
ress League, was published in recent
number of the Springfield (Mass.) Re-
publican. Mr.. Cowles' subject was
RAILROAD Anarchy That he dealt
with it forcefully is shown by the fol-
lowing excerpt:
1.-THE Rock Island railroad isue Of
$4,000, 900 preferred stock and $'5,00o,0o0
common stock, total $127 100000. whose
only value lies in the possible taxation
of the land and the life, the labor and
the produce, subject to the Rock Island
railroad government, is direct assault
on the solvency of every life and fire
insurance company. every trust COM
pany, every savings bank and every in
dividual holding mortgages on the lands
along that road. Every such mortgage
is reduced in value by just the share it
must contribute to the payment of the
interest and to the final redemption Of
these watered stocks. There is no other
possible source from which the gold can
be coined for the payment. These rail-
road rulers, by the way, are also ar
ranging for their election to the office
of tax collectors, for terms of five years
and by the votes of but small number
of the holders of these stocks, and re-
gardless of the votes of the taxpayers,
and this thing is going on practically
throughout the entire American rail-
way world.
I'm the Republican of July II, I called
attention to the fact that the American
people are now taxed by these irrespon-
sible railroad rulers to the amount Of
over 100000 900 annually and this
without any representation whatever on
the part Of the taxpayers. This move

agement shows conclusively that there
is to be no limit to their taxation short
of the practical confiscation of all the
land and the produce and the human
life subject to this taxation. The avowed

United States Commissioner Of Labor,
Carroll D. Wright, in a recent bulletin
| of the department of labor, shows the
following comparisons, in hours and
wages, of union and non-union work.
! men in the United States
Bakers-Union men work 7O.5 hours a
week: average daily wages, $685. Non
| union men work 1854 hours a week..
daily wages average $1.79. Bakers union
dues so cents month. Increase in
wages, 26 cents a day. For so cents a
month invested, the union baker re-
celves $72 year more wages, and
works lis less hours.
The union bricklayer works 51.5 hours
per week. and receives an average Of
$3.50 per day. The nom union bricklayer
works 57.4 hours per week and receives
an average daily wage of $2.17 Brick
layers dues are not in excess of 81 a
month, or $12 year, and he receives
$489 year more and works 312 hours
less than his non-union brother.
The union carpenter works So hours
per week and receives an average of
1888 per day. The non-union carpenter
works So hours per week. and receives
$2.13 per day. Carpenters dues are So
cents per month, and he receives $120
year more, while working 312 hours
less time.
characterization men work Al
hours per week and receive 1927 per
day. Non-union men work 1913 hours
per week and receive $1.65 per day.
Cigarmakers' dues 81 a month. S12 a
year, and receive 1886 year more pay
than the non-union men, while working
1926 hours less.
Horseshoers' Union-Union men work
So hours per week, and receive $3.50 per
day, and non-union men work 596 hours
per week and receive $2.65 per day. The
dues average so cents a month, or Sc
a year, for which the union man re-
ceives $50 more pay per year, and works
$50 hours less time.
The union painters work 48 hours per
week and receive an average of $3.50
per day, while the non-union man
works 81 hours per week and receives
$1.80 per day. The union man pays So
year dues, and receives in wages $210
more in a year and works 1863 hours
less time than the non-union man.
The union plumber receives an aver
age Of SO per day, for So hours of work,
while the non-union man puts in So
hours per week. and receives $2.45 per
day. The union plumber pays about SIP
| year dues, for which he gets back $155
in wages more than the union man,
and he works 312 hours less time
The wages in other trades are about
the same. If the man who has money
to loan could even by attending: stock
holders and directors meetings, re-
ceive six per cent on his Investments
he thinks himself we'll paid-but the
union man who invests the maximum
amount of dues, $12 year, Or 81 a
month, and receives back for it $3.50 in
additional wages, has no reason to kick
about the business agent or other labor
Official who obtains it for him.

of such power over the coal monop-
oily, over all the monopolies.'
By Henry Demarest Lloyd.


"Mr. Baer speaks of christian men
to whom God, in His infinite wisdom,
has given the control of the property
| interests Of the country.
This is a rather different construc-
ton Of things from that indicated by
the Bible, where it says, The children
of men shall inherit the earth Part
of this property is the coal fields. These
| coal fields were made by the Creator,
without any assistance from man
| whatever, and if We are not mistaken
| in praying to God as Our Father it
! is an inheritance to which every child
of that Father has equal right.
Mr.. Baer thinks these coal fields
! were given to the operators. I'd like
him to show his title deeds and prove
his assertion It is fortuante that Mr.
Baer has expressed in his crude and
blasphemous language that the natu-
raj gifts of God have been given by
him to a few people, and that the rest
of mankind must be dependent upon
them for the dispensation of His
bounty.
1.-THE American people will not be
satisfied with this view. It is an out
rage that operatives thus regard these
coal fields as their private property
| without any regard to the rights of the
public and that they should be able
to double the price of one of the ne
cessities OF life by their refusal to ar
bitrate or listen to reason.
1.-THE national administration has
taken the ground in the Philippines
that whens land owners have used their
possessions in such q way as to become
public nuisance they must be got rid
Of. This is what Governor Taft is try
ing to do with the Spanish friars, and
1t is to be hoped he will succeed. But
precisely the same principle requires
the appropriation of the coal operators.
They have shown time and again that
they are unable to manage their vast
properties in a way satisfactory to the
public, and they have caused it to be-
come a constant expense to the state
to preserve peace in their territory,
while the consumers are paying a vast
tribute in the shape of excessive prices
for coal.
If it be possible to draft legislation
for the purpose Of removing the friars,
it ought to be possible to accomplish
the same results in the coal states"

However the property was got, and
thereby hangs a tale" said he, "the
monopoly of anthracite coal in Penn
sylvania is private property and has all
the rights of such property. The es-
sence Of that right is to administer the
property within the law for the bene
fit of the private owners. If the people
want this property administered for
their benefit, let them make themselves
the owners.
1T is disqualification for the pub
lie to demand of the owners of this
property that they treat as sacred du-
ties like that Of arbitration: which the
public itself disregards, ~
IF the public does not care enough
for itself as laborer to protect the liv-
ing wage, the rights of organization,
collective bargaining and the right to
work, nor enough for itself as con-
sumner to protect it's supply of heat,

things for it?

No SUNDAY
SHAVING
White Barber Shops
May Be Closed
All Day.

The clip of the shears and the swish
of razors may no longer be heard in
Honolulu on Sunday mornings in the
shops of the white BARRIERS. High
Sheriff Brown yesterday sent around
notices to every shop in town notifying
them that the law requiring shops to
close at a. m. on Sundays would be
strictly enforced. The bosses in the
tended meeting last night over the
Brunswick parlors, effected an organ
ization of Boss BARRIERS, and tentatively
agreed to close their shops all day on
Sundays instead of opening until 9 a.
m. Almost every white barber shop
in town was represented by the pro-
prietor and there was a unanimous
expression in favor of the Sunday clos
ing.
During the week the High Sheriff S
attention was called to the violation of
the law requiring shops to close at 9
a. m. Sundays, especially on the part
of the Japanese BARRIERS. The law had
not been strictly enforced owing to
the prevailing desire of those inclined to
live up to the motto, Cleanliness is
next to Goodness" The barber shops
which white men generally have fire.
quented kept upon until close to ten
o'clock finishing up with the customers
who entered at or before nine.
The officers of the Boss BARRIERS or
ganization are as follows: President, j
H. Flynn; secretary, C. Hummel; treas
urer, JOS. Fernandes. The Sunday
closing proposition was brought about
by the fact that if the shops could re-
main open only to nine the proprietors
would not be compensated for the ex'
pense. Each journeyman barber has Sc
far been allowed half a day each weel
in return for his services on Sunda!
morning. By closing all day Sunda!
the bosses and journeymen will hay'
all day Sunday off and no time off dur
ing the week as at present. Anothe
meeting will be held on Friday evening
at which time a report will be received
from committee appointed to canvas
the situation.
One or two BARRIERS have not We
agreed with the others to the Sunda
closing claiming that it would infiict
hardship on persons coming into tow
late Saturday night or on the Sunda
morning boats, but the majority fee
that the sentiment will be all one wa
by Friday evening.
