to discredit the purposes of the railroad
manager. Whenever he announces a policy
intended to improve the relations between
the carriers and the public and founded
upon broad and just principles there are
those who question his sincerity An eff

community. l appeal against such senti-
ment to the sense of right and justice of
the American people. We who are striv-
ing to improve conditions and to perform
well our public duties must be admitted to
your confidence and upheld by your en-
enlargement. The task at best is hard.

NATIONAL ORGANIZER HERE.
Representative of Socialist Party De-
livers an Address.


Government clerks were placed in the
category or class with the working men
and working women by M. M. Wilkins of
Boston, national organizer of the socialist
party of America, during the course of an
address last evening at Masonic Temple.
He divided society into three elements,
viz, the upper class, the middle class
and the wage earners. ...-.
1.-The clerks in the departments of
Washington imagine themselves to be in
the middle Glass; Mr.. wilkins said. This
earning class. They earn annually from
$500 to 81 co., and this amount is swal-
lowed up in necessities of life
The speaker declared that the trusts are
dragging the people to restitution by their
oppressive and monopolistic methods, and
added:
I'm the United States. alone there are
working in the sweatshops, factories, de-
partment stores and laundries over
5 25O,OO0 young women Their salary ranges
of 1900. 1t was shown that 100000 males
were out of work. and that over 2.0OO.OOC
children were toiling in the factories and
sweatshops for a livelihood.
what is the cause for these appalling
conditions? 1t is the oppression OF
the cooperation of the financial powers
of the world. The rich live in luxury,
the poor In restitution"
In describing socialism Mr.. Wilkins said
1t 'is the attempt to formulate the sense
of justice and the will Of the working
class Further, 1t is the doctrine that
will be the scheme of life of civilized man.
kind In the near future. The humble
origin of this doctrine makes it hard for
the educated classes to grasp it's intel

when the universe will support 1t with

tion took place at the White House yes

thrty-fve minutes. No statement of the
particular questions discussed was made
at the White House. and Mr.. Mellen de-
clined to talk. To all questions bearing
on the conference he referred his in
quirers to Secretary Loeb. adding that
anything he might say might be con-
strued as having bearing on the present
situation. Mr.. Mellen was asked whether
he would again visit the White House for
conference with the President. but he
replied that he did not expect to unless
he was sent for. Almost in the same
breath, however, he said that perhaps he
might come after ALL even If not sent for

NEW YORK, March 20.-E. H. Hartman

be q one-sided affair, as it had been for a
time but that it would be two-sided. was
regarded as meaning that the capitalists

One part of the interview was a denial
that Mr.. Hartman intended to retire from
active railroad work. Later he was asked
If he would comment upon the reported in
terview with E. P. Ripley, president of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, in
which Mr.. Ripley was quoted as saying
that President Roosevelt had started a
brush fire which had developed into con-
flagration.
Il don't believe he ever said it," replied
Mr.. Hartman. Anyhow. you can state
that he did not consult me before he said
it."

BLAMES ROOSEVELT.
Santa Fe President Also Says Harfi-
man Will Retire Soon

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 2O-From
dent Ripley of the Santa Fe has given out
an interview in which he declares that gov
eminent ownership of railways spells sure
ruin; that such a step means the downfall
of the republic. For all this trouble the
head of the Santa Fee holds the President
of the United States primarily responsible.
Although E. Fl. Hartman probably has
not been frozen out of control of the South
ern Pacific in the recent Wall street storm,
according to President Ripley, Mr.. Harri-
man is due to retire voluntarily from active
railway manipulation at an early day. Har-
riman is fifty nine years old, says Mr.. Rip
ley, and he has stated that when he reaches
sixty he will relinquish his present hold
upon all active employment in order to take
life easy. Mr.. Ripley said:
II can see no good to come from a meet
ing with President Roosevelt, such as has
been proposed by ]. p. Morgan, if the press
dispatches on the subject are correct. The
President must be held responsible for hav-
ing started a brush fire, that now appar-
emily has become confiagration, and while
l always have felt his motives to be of the
best to me 1t appears to be too late to stop
the fire that now Is pretty nearly burned
out.
Getting back to the subject of the ap-
parent public hostility to railway corpora
lions, there is no doubt that to this feeling
alone must be charged the furry in the
New York financial district, and while ]
have no desire to pose as pessimist, SO
far as the Santa Fee is concerned, we are
prepared to stop all extension and improve
mentS."
