For years after the passage of the
interstese commerce act the railroads
continued to pool very much as they
had before. The interstate law amount
ed to very little. 1t was greatly forti-
fed. however, by the decision cs The
United States supreme court that rail
road pooling was a violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
To what extent pooling has been car
ried on since that decision is mat
ter Of dispute.
The Eikins bill is designed to amend
the interstate commerce act so IN
the way to unrestricted railroad pool
ing may be opened wide in spite Of
the supreme cenrt decision referred
to.
The merchants and shippers of the
country generally, large and small,
are convinced that railroad pooling
would be injurious to thei rinterests.
They want all the railroad competi-
ton they can get and know that pool
ing kills competition, and therefore
maintains higher rates of freight than
may be reasonably expected when
pooling is forbidden.
The Elkins bill is directly opposed
to the interests of the shippers and
shippers of all classes and in all sec
tions should unite in the effort to Sc
cure its defeat.

Thirty-seven years and more have

toward preventing special favors to
shippers who by one means or an
other have acquired undue influence
with railroads.
The present interstate commerce
law provides severe penalties for
granting to favored parties rebates or
freight rates lower than those allow
ed to the general public, but these pen
alties apply to the transportation com
panies only.
The Corliss bin extends them also
to the shipper who accepts these re-
bates or special rates.
This is wise and just provision.
The shipper who schemes for and pro
cures favors from transportation com
panies which are denied to other ship
pers is as much the enemy of equit-
able interstate commerce as the cor
porations which deal with him and
should be treated as such.
The chances of detection would be
greatly increased by making the law
against special favors in shipping
rates apply to shippers as well as the
railroads.
The interstate commerce commits
sion urges the passage of the Corliss
bill. 1t is supported also by boards
OF trade and commercial bodies gen.
orally. Many OF the leading railroads
are also in favor Of 1t, as they desire
to have the rebate system stamped
out, but are often drawn into it by
their competitors
The Corliss bill seems very likely
to pass, the main hope OF its oppon-
ents being the possible failure OF its
consideration at this session.
The fate OF the Elkins bill, which
legalizes railroad pooling. is muc1
more uncertain. The theory on which
the bill is supported is that open pool
ing, authorized and regulated by law,
would be less Objectionable than Sc
cret pooling, which, it is claimed, can
not be prevented.
The railroads are practically united
in favor of the Elkins bill, while the
great mass OF the shippers are deciG-
edly opposed to it.
The interstate commerce comm7s-
sion is divided on the question, Mr..
Clements being the only member Of
that board who stands squarely
against the bill
He has consistently and vigorously
opposed the legalization Of pooling and
contends that with proper effort pool
ing can be prevented.
Only a few days ago Commissioner
Clements made a very strong argu-
mens before the house coinmSstee on
commerce against the Elkins bill. He
viii probably be heard ON the same
line when the bill is next taken up by
the committee. whieh will probably
be today
One of the main objects OF the in
terstate commerce act was to pre-
vent pooling. as il interferes serious
~ with competition II 1t does not
prove fatal 10 II
There has been a persistent effort
on the part OF the railroads for years
to amend the interstate commerce
act on the line Of the Ellxins bill but
it has hitherto been defeated when
ever made.
A well concerted aud powerfully
backed attempt is being made to push
il through this time.

Subscribed $4,000.
Parsons college finds itself in finan-
cial predicament. The trustees have
deliberately refused straight offer of
100000 and site of twenty acres,
worth all of $4,000. There was 10
string, no loop hole, no escape. The
only condition was the removal of the
school to Mt Pleasant. This PROPOSE
ton was rejected and an absolutely
worthless proposition accepted. The
proposition OF the citizens of Fairfield
is not worth the paper it is written
upon. Citizens of that city have Civ
en- their notes for a little over $4,000,
but aside from the condition thar
school must remain in that city is an
other and insurmountable one to the
effect that the president Of the school
must raise in valid subscriptions out
side of the city of Fairfield the sum of
100000 before the people of Fairfield
can be called upon for a single dollar.
Again the entire Fairfield project is
based upon the sale of land, upon
which there is but an option, which
option can be closed out December l..
The result is Fairfield holds the col
lege and the college is in precisely the
same financial plight that it was in
the morning after the fire.

UNION RESTRICTION OF OUTPUT
NJ. G. Cunniff. in Worlds Work.


Restriction of OUTPUT I found the
hardest union policy to track, chiefly
because the building unions officially
discredit it, so that where it is car.
ried on it is tacit. Indeed, in some
trades it is true that the better men
are paid above the union scale. l
have heard of ircn-workers who get
double; | met stonecutter4 whose
piece-work wages made his she'd
mates stare; paperhangers get all
sorts Of wages. I'VE set the minimum,
says the unions, Let man get more
if he can" And many do get more In
other trades. say bricklaying or floor
laying Or plastering, all in actual
practice get the same. "And it's hui
man nature said mason. for a
slower man to say, Hold on, Bill; what's
the rush?' On some jobs it couldn't
happen; on some it could-depends
on the men,
| have not the slightest doubt that
work is slower under union domino
ton than it void be if employers were
free to hurry men as they pleased,
despite the pride that union workmen
often take in their speed and Skill
but there are two sides, found, to
the matter.
Before the unions said builder,
we paid the housesmiths from S2.25
TO $500; now they al, get, s4.OO-the
poorer men evcned up with the bet
ter s1t
In other words. I questioned,
the better men are no worse off: the
poorer men have gained"
And we've lost he completed,
mot only money, but the spur of bet

This was the employers point of
view; here the unions
Before the unions" said a union
man, employers hired rushers-cor-
ner masons for example who made
the men on the line keep up with the
corners. The rushers were paid to
rush. The men on the line made the
best individual bargains they could.
So in other trades. 1t was hustle
from morning to night for the ordina-
ny man to keen a job. He wore out
young. When he couldn't keep up he
was fired. That was the employers
ideal--well paid rushers and steady
grst of fresh young men, poorly paid,
to be ground up and thrown away.
They do it now when they have the
chance. I've seen it. I've grown old

SEEKS APPROVAL OF WooDMEN.
Head Consul Sends Out Circular Con-



Woodmen have received the. follow
ing circular from W. a. Northcutt.
head consul of the order, concerning
the new assessment plan which he
and other head officers are anxious
should be approved by the order. 1t
is plan that is not received with gen.
eral favor because the greatest bur
den of maintaining insurance under it
comes in OLD age when most persons
are least able to bear it. The circular
says:
The question Of readjustment of
rates now before the membership in
wolves not only the future prosperity
but the life of our society.
Il wish TO call upon you as a promi-
nent woodman to read the pamphlet
which | send you herewith and to
study this question:; and after you
have made up your mind what is right
to be done | want you to talk upon
the question to your camp and use
every influence in your power to see
that this question is solved in the
right way.
Il am fully convinced that the large
majority of the membership desire a
REIMBURSEMENT of our rates at the next
head camp, but my great anxiety is
that this readjustment should be no
compromise or makeshift, but should
be adequate and sufficient to perpetu-
ate our society.
ut is of supreme Importance that
this society should not be compelled
to endure another agitation of this
question and every loyal neighbor
should assist in bringing this ques-
ton to the right conclusion at the
next head camp
