THE SONG OF THE vANQU1sHED,

1 have heard of the song of the victors,
And they told of the hard-worn fight;
I have heard their pens of glory
Through the long watches of the
night.
But I will sing of the vanquished,
Who meier searched glory's height,
Who. steadily fighting onward,
Fell in defense of the right!
Of those who esteemed not glory,
Of those. who forgetful of self,
Followed their gilded dreams of honor
Disdainful of power and pelf;
Of the vanquished brigades of truth,
Toiling onward in the night
These are the ones / sing Of
The uncrowned soldiers of right.
o, ye who are fighting life's battles,
On the heights or in the vale,
How often the laurels of victory
Belong to the ones who fail?
To those who count their honor
For more than the scepter of might
To the uncrowned boys of the trenches
To the glorious soldiers of right!

Some six months ago there fell
into the hands of the Interstate
Commerce Commission circular
intended for confidential distrihu.
ton by body calling itself the
Railway Association" of Chicago
that predicted and threatened some
of the very things that are now
happening. 1t was a threat to the
Administration to stop lnvestigat-
ing the industrial situation gener.
ally and the railroad situation in
particular, under pain of having
the industries of the country closed
down and period of acute indus
trial depression on it's hands about
election time. 1t was addressed
to all the largest employers of Ia
Dor in the U. S. and enclosed pc.
tition for them to sign addressed
to the President and pointing out
to him in the form of aHscarcely
yelled threat that the course he
was following was bound to result
in shutting down factorier and stop
ping the progress of American in
dustry. 1t required of all the big
concerns the number of their mon
and this amount of their payrolls,
and bore on the face of it all the
marks of carefully prepared
political campaign. The copy that
fell into the hands of the Interstate
Commerce Commission was sent
apparently by inadvertance to the
Independent Petroleum Producers
Association, This being an oppo-
nent of the Standard Oil Co. the
matter was at once turned over to
the government. The petition was
never fpresented, intimation hav.
ing been given the projectors that
it would at once be given the press.
But recent occurrences make it
plain that the campaign of artifi-
cial depression is on. The U. S.
Steel Corporation laid off 10000
men in one month because the had
been notified that the railroad.
were going to cut down on eSten.
sions. The railroads discharged
men by the thousands and packers
followed suit. This forced retrench
ment by the smaller concerns, and
the campaign of depression and
panic was the inevitable result
