Our Washington dispatches today in
dictate that the frank dissent on the
part of the president from. some of the
opinions. held by the representatives of
the American Federation Of Labor and
stated in their formal communication
addressed to the president and to both
houses of congress-. is likely to precipi-
tate active participation in national
politics by the federation. Mr.; Com
pers pracaictlly authorizes. T h O r-
n rs representative to say that the
forces of organized labor, which claims
to-, control 100000. votes, will be. mar
shaded : not under political banners; as a
separate political party, but in support
Of or against candidates of the old par

. Chicago, March 23.-As result Of
the notice filed, by three Chicago-Twin
City roads to sell homeseekers excur-.
sion tickets to- the northwest every
Tuesday instead of the first and third
Tuesday of each month, the entire
homesekers' business of the western
roads is in danger &of being brought
down to the weekly, instead of the
semi monthly plan.
Such is the sentiment expressed by
passenger traffic officials of western
lines. "a: The members of the executive.
committee of the Western Passenger as.
ISOLATION wrestled with the question for
several hours at the regular meetingI
Yesterday. No action was taken fur-l
ther than to determine to try to induce;

Peril of Standard Oil.

Standard Oil is said to be in a bad
way. John D. Rockefeller is reported
to be practically retired; William
Rockefeller is in poor health, and H.
il. Rogers is left at the helm alone at
the age of "a. From these alleged facts
some people deduce| that Standard Oil
as a controlling factor in the business
world is passing away. No one pre-
diets the discontinuance Of the company
nor the disintegration of the capital
which forms it. but looks forward to
Standard Oil showing a less aggressive
disposition in molding the commercial
world to it's will.
If it is true that Standard Oil has
taken a backyard step in the control
of the business world, it is possibly
also true that it will be disintegrated.
Standard Oil has always owed it's prom
inenee to its exceeding aggressiveness.
When John D. Rockefeller, ii" the for
native period, failed to get what he
wanted from the Pennsylvania refners
1 in one way, he went at them. in an
4 other. If the railroads resisted one
4 line of criminal advance, he was always
4 ready to throw out another.s He never
slept and never surrendered. AS a
4 last resort he was ready to order the
il firing of the buildings of the contuma-
cious refners and to throw into the
hands of receiver the recalcitrant rail
b road. When it assembled finally to the

MIR. Mellen's Attitude Made
.3s Clearer. #@/.

Some new light is thrown upon Mr.,
Mellen's attitude toward the rate bill
by our Washington correspondence
day. This statement explains more
clearly Mr.. Mellen's objection to<the
bill and raises directly the question of
fairness to established transportation
lines. The point he makes seems to be
d reasonable one and somewhat differ
ent from that deducible from the&frst
reports Of his remarks. It ISM mere
ly the sharing Of traffic carried by. a
rail line with a rival boat line, but a
condition where a rival rail line may
take advantage of and derive as much
benefit from the original rail line s val
liable terminals as it enjoys itself, that
Mr.. Mellen objects to, and to which
his objection is quite natural.
1t is understood that the Minnesota
senators recognize the force of Mr..
Mellen's criticism of the bill and will
stand for amendment in that particular.
1t seemed very strange that Mr.. Mel
len, after having long maintained an
attitude of ,friendliness toward the gem
eral proposition of rate regulation,
should suddenly assume an attitude so
hostile; but it appears from our dis
patches that his apparent change Of
position is due to failure to- incorporate
in the bill provisions guarding against
the consequences which he foresees I'M
less: such provisions :; are included, and
which he had expected would be in
serted.
