Two Greatest Problems
Across the Water.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 22.-Her-
bert S. Bigelow of this city, one of
the greatest advocates Of the Single
YAK idea in the country had the fol-
lowing to say from his pulpit last
Sunday:
In the Air.
Every reform has its "derksh"
stage when it's advocates make
noise out of all proportion to their
il1luence. Then the "cranks" leave
it for the next fad and the few loyal
souls seem hopeless in their minor
ity. But if the idea has merit, it
will not be lost. The sentiment that
was uttered on the street corner will
lie echoed in the university, and grave
professors end statesmen will begin
to appropriate the very. phrases of
the neglected reformer.: AS the times
ripen 70 the idea, it will begin to
break out everywhere.
Zone Of the ideas now in the air
is that for which Henry George con-
tended. twenty-five years ago, when
Henry George finished his great book,
he fell on his knees and cried. No
one III the wide world knew what
he knew that he had there an idea
which would conquer the orld.
"a marble stone in Greenood cem-
etery says that Henry George is dead
hut innu1nerable voices testify to the
victorious power of his truth.
Housing Problem Land Problem.
Read the speeches of the Liberal
leaders in England who are being
swept into parliament with over
whelming majorities. They are but
repeating the phrases of Henry
George.
"For years, Single Tax men, as
they have been called, have objected
to the proposals of the tenement
house reformers. To those who bus
led themselves collecting fresh air
funds, or inventing meddlesome leg
islation for the erection of tenements,
or urging socialistic schemes for
rrric;ral lcdgings-to all such. the
Single Tax men have said, "Conges-
ticn is caused BY land monopoly.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1906-02-24

Transfer the burden of taxation from
houses tn land values"
Their solution was too simple.
Their advice was not needed. Blu:
now the prime minister of England
asks, as though the answer were ap-
parent to everybody: What is the
housing problem but land prob
lem?'
Taxation and Employment.
For years single tax men have
vainly pointed out the obvious fact
that as wealth production consists
OF labor applied to land, a system of
taxation which may make it more
profitable to hold out of use than to
use it, operates to restrict the oppor-
tunities Of capital and labor, and ag-
gravates the problem of the unem-
ployed. Now the prime minister Of
England is declaring on the hustings
that the problem of the unemployed
is simply the problem of colonizing
their own countrysides and, that by
tax on the lands of the lords. he
proposes to open the door of oppor-
tunity to England's beggared sons.
"The Glasgow Herald quotes him
as saying: II am any rate, con-
vinced that moderate application
Of the principle of site value taxa
ton would appreciably!s reduce the
burdens and at the same time tighten
rents and diminish the evils of over
crowding which disgrace us today,
and give us a fresh: outlet for en-
ployment.
A German Editors Comment.
"And the example of this move
ment in England is rapidly bringing
the idea into vogue in America. The
Cincinnati Volksblatt, German pa
per in high favor with conservative
elements, said in recent editorials
What England needs is an in
dustrial reform especially in the dis
position of ground rent which con-
stitutes heavy burden for the peo-
pie, and, what is more harmful, turns
away capital which should be in
vested in industry and thereby caus-
es lack of employment. AS soon
as it shall be ordered that the incre-
ment of land values created by So
ciety shall be paid back to society in
the form of taxes, an enormous
amount of capital which is now be-
ing invested in land will be turned
in another direction and secured for
the benefit Of industry

STRIKE INJUNCTION
REBUkED BY CO0RT
Chicago Judge Refuses to
Grant Writ Against a
Strike Order.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-What is looked
upon as something of g. rebuke to the
practice of granting off-hand, tnjunc-
tions against labor unions at the very
inception of strikes. was administered
by Judge Joseph E. Gary, nestor of the
Cook county bench today when he re-
fused to grant an injunction re-
straining the associated building trades
from calling strikes on buildings where
non-union men were employed.
The Injunction was asked for by the
National Stone Cutters society, which
is declared to be an organization Of
non-union men, fostered and supported
and managed by the employers them
selves.
The judge later threw out an
amended petition. asking the court to
restrain members of the Associated
Building Trades from arguing with
members of the National Stone Cutters
society to stop work or" struck" build
ing and to restrain them from congre-
eating and picketing.
Grant this Injunction? Why I
would be depriving those men of their
personal liberty and violating the
touchstone of the constitution" said
Judge Gary. II will not grant any in
junction asking me to restrain the
members of the Associated Building
Trades from calling strikes. Neither
will grant any Injunction restraining
them from argument with members of
the National Stone Cutters society
To do 50 would be to deprive them Of
the right of free speech"
