Chicago Employers association which
has been fighting The strike thus far
and Of course we will work Il. con-
junction with them"
The reply Of the representatives of
the express COmpaiies was brief. II
was "Our opposition 70 the rcinstatc-
ment of the men will be the same four

not take them back unde1 any Circum-
stances"

Tom Watts IN Talking Out Loud

Alter 1923 the Bank of Venice issu-
ed its credits without any promise of
redemption. Hence government
credit used among the merchants,
was practically ''irredeemable paper
money" Yet it not only answered
all the purpose of gold for 400 years,
but commanded premium of 20 per
cent.
Why?
Because the credit of great gov
erment is always better than a tenn
porary and perishable lot of coin.
Why do United States bonds bring
premium of over gold.
Because they constitute COVER
ment credit.
Would greenbacks carry the pledge
of the government, just as the bonds
do?
Certainly.
Would greenbacks, based on the
credit of the government and drawing
no interest. be equal in value to gold
and silver?
Certainly.
Then why not issue greenbacks and
save the interest on the bonds?
Because the Stewart Syndicate of
Nillionaires not only wanted their
money put where it would be safe
and where it would be untaxed, but
wanted interest also--Tom Watosn'S

"App!eS of Gold.''

Rev. G. c. Carroll preached to d
large congregation at the Baptist
CHURCH Sunday night from the text:
''Place a guard upon thy tongue and
watch upon thy MOUTH The
theme was, ''Be careful what you
say, lest you plant seed of discord
and bring forth d harvest of SORROW"
The subject was well and ably dis
cussed and listened to with interest
and it is to be hoped his words will
be needed by those who heard them.
Gossip is great sin and is often
fruitful of much harm and everyone
should be very careful in their con-
versation lest some word spoken
would be magnified and bring about
not only regret but deepest pain and
sorrow.
Three additions to the church were
made Sunday night.

TIE ARmouR CHARGES.

A great deal of dissatisfaction exists
among the cantaloupe shippers here
not only as t. the prices charged by
the Armours for icing cars but for
the neglect to ice notwithstanding
the big prices charged.
We were shown two bills yesterday
received for the sale of two cars
shipped on the same day, one prop
erly and the other improperly iced,
the one netting S217 and the other
only S13.
Speaking of the charges of the Ar
mour Car Line Company the Calffor-
mia Citrograph says:
''The straight facts in the case are,
In so far as 1.-The orange and lemon
shippers of California are concerned,
there is most intensel dissatisfaction
among the citrus fruit growers at the
charges of the Armour Car Line Com
pany. The growers think the,charges
for icing are outrageous, a swindle
and barefaced steal. We happen to
be grower and we call the charges
a downright robbery, and we do not
propose to be mealy-mouted over it,
either. The sooner the ArmOur-and
all other-private car lines are forced
out of existence the better for the
grower, no:matter who says the rates,
charges and service are satisfactory.
The railroads should own their own
cars and equipment, freezers and all.
And the charges for icing should be
the cost thereof, not all that can be
squeezed out of the grower.
That's the way this grower feels
about it, and if he is wrong our col
umns are open TO the other fellow to
prove his side of the case.''
