Whx the Swinu Around2

President Roosevelt's abandoned
speaking tour suggests the question.
Why should President or Presiden.
tial candidate bear the fatigue and
incur the risks of a speaking tour,
which even at it's best is an inferior
method of communicating his views
to the public? What is the secret Of
this curious survival of the oratorical
fiction, the arduous and hazardous
speaking tour by special train, with
its attendant hurrah and Mysteries,
that mean little and accomplish moth
ing? Perhaps the answer to it is
that the personal flattery of such pill
grimages, the dramatic delight of pos
ing as orators and hearing the hip
hip-hooray of cheering crowds make
an appeal to their vanity too strong
to be resisted.

FIGHT TOBACCO TRUST

The cigarmakers' union of Chicago
are in high feather over the action Of
the so-called cigar trust in purchasing
at high prices the leases for certain
good corner stores in which to open
retail stores and there compete with
the old-established stores, many of
which refuse to handle many of the
socalled popular" brands of cigars,
extensively advertised on billboards
and vacant walls. 1t is asserted that
most of these brands of cigars are
made by child and cheap labor in
penal institutions, and that the COM
bine is forced to go into the retail
market as a matter of self-protection
to dispose of their product, which is
accommodating and for which no mar
ket can be found.
One official high up in the cigarmak-
eks' union said recently that the re-

MOST PROSPEROUS ORDER

The International Brotherhood of
Blacksmiths was organized in Allan.
ia, Ca, in 1889, but it was not till
1897 that it obtained a firm foothold.
1t took a prominent part in the nine.
hour strike Of last year, with fair sue
cess, some important concessions be-
ing gained. The nine-hour movement,
begun last year, has resulted in great
and material benefit to the organiza-
ton, and has made possible the exis-
tence Of many nine-hour contracts this
year which could not have been OBJ
tanned under any other circumstances.
The ultimate aim of the organiza-
ton is to improve the condition of ev-
cry man in the blacksmith depart
ments Of railroad shops, shipyards,
machine shops, and, in fact, all fac
tories and workshops.
The organization is finely Differed.
In 1898 Robert B. Kerr was chosen
general secretary-treasurer and his
work has been so satisfactory that he
has been reelected annually by that
prosperous labor organization.

The Steel Trust,

The United States Steel corporation
is the greatest industrial giant on
earth. 1t has an outstanding capital
of 100000. Its controlled and
"community-of-int companies
bring the capitalization to $1,6O5, O0O,-
900.
1t owns four-fifths of the iron ore
mines of the Northwest, all of the
Connellsville coking coal mines, oper-
ates 1000 miles of railroads and trans
ports 100000 tons of ore on it's own
vessels.
1t produces three-fourths of our steel
product, or more than is produced by
any other country than the United
States.
It's first years product was stated to
be worth $410,000,000, and it paid
10000, 900 in wages, or $712 each for
lIs 1929 employees.
It's first years net profits were over
Sill ,000, 900, and its net profits for this
year are expected to reach $140, 000, 900
or $50, 100000.
Thus the comparatively few owners
get more net profits than its $4,000
employees get wages.
1t is reputed to pay its president a
salary of 100000 year.
1t exports its goods to all parts Of
the world, and sells them abroad, &C.
cording to the testimony of President
Schwab, at very much lower rates
than those here"
It is feared abroad because of its
low prices; and here, because of its
high prices and its dictatorial and
bulldozing methods.
It dictates prices. terms and condi.

Postponinu the Inevitable.

Confessedly Senator Spooner OF
Wisconsin, carries as level head
upon his shoulders as any Republican
leader in any of the states. There is
no ADLER man in the party. This gives
unusual significance to the fact that
he will voice the western demand for
tariff revision and stake his reelection
to the senate upon the hazard invoiv.
ed in the support of that policy. The
only weakness in the position of Sena-
tor Spooner arises from the favor
with which he regards the appoint
ment of tariff commission as first
step toward revision.

tail cigar dealers in Chicago, New
York, Cincinnati, st. Louis and other
large cities had formed an organizG
ton for the purpose Of refusing to
handle the product of the combine,
and that the cigarmakers' unions all
over the country were aiding these re-
tailers. Their motto is to handle moth
ing but union-made goods from indie
pendent manufacturers, and thereby
crush a mammoth enemy to both
unions and small dealers. Many Of
the druggists in the large cities have
joined with the union in crushing out
trust cigars. Even the big jobbers are
said to feel the results of the agita-
ton begun by organized labor, and
many of them are said to be curtail
ing their stocks or endeavoring to Sc
cure union-made cigars as side
line" in order to appease their custo
mers.

tons under which those manufacture
ers dependent upon 1t for raw material
can do business. They must buy only
of it, must ship only over its railroads
and must finance their accounts only
in its banks. Often they must sell
their finished products at maximum
prices fixed by the trust.
1t is a trust both in the popular and
in the legal meaning of the word, ac-
cording to eminent lawyers, for 1t
holds as trustee the shares of the
constituent companies, and votes for
directors of these companies.
1t sells steel rails here for $2S a ton
and abroad for SIG to $22.
1t sells barbed wire to us at $3.50
per 100 pounds and to foreigners at
$2.25.
1t sells tin plate to us at $419 per
100 pounds and to foreigners at 1919.
1t sells wire nails to us at $2.05 per
100 pounds and to foreigners at $1.30.
1t sells wire rope to us at $3.50 per
100 feet which it sells to foreigners at
u cents.
Its export and home prices on other
goods show similar difference, and al
ways in favor of the foreigners.
Based partly upon these differences
in prices and partly upon the imports
or competing goods, after paying the
tariff duties, the tariff profits Of this
trust are S75 DOC. 900 year.-Byron w.

Hanna's Pregnant Question.

where are you going to begin re.
vising the tariff" That is what Sena-
tor Hanna asks.
To show how hard the question Is
he goes on to say that the tariff is a
local issue, as a distinguished Penn.
sylvanian said years ago. Each To-
cality wants it's own special product
protected, but is quite willing to have
free trade in everything else. 1t fol-
lows that If we begin to revise at any
point up will come vigorous protest
from somewhere. BY the time we
have progressed to enough points to
amount to a revision worth speaking
of we will have protests enough COM
ing to stop the entire performance.
There is too much truth in this. But
the very fact that 1t is next to impos-
sible to accomplish anything like
general revision for the reason point
ed out, puts the badness Of the pro-
tective system in about the strongest
possible light.
1t brings to view the fact that the
whole system Is an enormous trust
a combine of all the interests that can
possibly be promoted by tariff duties
to bleed all the interests that cannot
be so promoted.
Ought the American people to lie
down because the evil is so vast and
so powerfully supported by the favor
ed classes and say it is idle to at
tempt to do away with it? Not If
they have the stuff in them that so
many are Dragging about these days

world.

KEEP UP WAGE SCALE

The contention of the Socialists that
the rate of wages is kept above the
mere living point by trade unionists
is borne out by some figures just given
out by United States Commissioner Of
Labor Carroll D. Wright, says the So
cial Democratic Herald. 1t continues:
Under what has been called the iron
law of wages, labor Is subject to the
competition of the overplus of work
ers for the more or less limited num-
Der Of opportunities to work afforded

unionism has not only kept wages
higher for organized workers, but
through its agitations and its effect
on public sentiment it has kept the
standard of wages for nonunion men
higher also. The trade unions must
be given credit for the ability Of the
worker to pay the higher cost Of nv.
ing.
1T is incontrovertible that the
unions oblige capitalism to pay higher
rates of wages than it would otherwise
have to. So it is small wonder that
