In view of this wonderful expansion
inl our internal commerce, which has
not only resulted in the additional en-
ployment of thousands of railway
workers, but has Notwithstanding this
addition, put n large tax upon the en-
durance OF all the workers by the un-
avoidable necessity for overtime work,
it is not surprising that the large rail-
ways are voluntarily advancing wages
after having, also, in many instances,
instituted pension features in the ma
ture of profit sharing. Wage increases
already announced or foreshadowed in
the railway world affect nearly three
quarters of a million men a9d involve
the additional disbursement of close to
SIG 000, 900 annually. 1t is a good illus
tration of the truth of one of President
Roosevell's fayorite remarks that, upon
the whole, the American people so up
or go down together. Just now in spite
of certain foolish eXcesses both among
spectators and among unwise leaders
pie are still going up.
