On this subject the Newark Eve

1.-THE compromise in its principal
details will be simple If the present
promise is carried out, and will en-

this feeling more stable and tend to
discourage any resort to an eXtrem-

conditions. To p~recipitate a battle

it would be criminal. Aside from
any other factor, it would elicit
wholesale condemnation from that
public sympathy, without which any
large strike is doomed in advance.

This being the case, why not get
the price of coal back to where it
was before the last strike? The peo-

them. All the operators lost has been
returned to them many times over.
We are now assured that a similar
struggle will not take place again

legislation to Stop
The Railroad Rebate
By LESLIE NJ. SHAW. Secretary of the Treasury

AT Y own idea about rebates is this: The rebate must stop, and
~ the railroad is not the ONLY sinner in the case. Such ac-
ton must be taken by legislation and the enforcement of
such legislation as will apply the remedy to both the beneficiary and
the railroads. 1t is the great and VITAL EVIL of our commercial
system, and I am sure that every person engaged L"EGITIMATELY
in the business of shipping or hauling will agree with those who are
seeking relief.
