THE TINES oBSESSION.

The Los Angeles Times has long
been afflicted with unionism on the
brain. On Wednesday Ii suffered
a peculiarly violent attack in connec-
tion with the assault on the Postal tel
egraph office at Ash Fork 1t described
that affair with yellowness OF state
ment and illustration. which must have
filled the breast of the Times neighbor,
the Examiner with journalistic envy
A half page of the Times was devot-
ed to that affair. II was illustrated
with photographs OF the two operators
who were under fire" and with pic
ture by the Times artist of the situation
OF the Postal office at Ash Fork, sur
rounded by striking telegraphers" to
the number of thirty or more made up
Of strikers from various small offices
in Arizona" One could not get very
clear view of the Ash Fork office as
it appeared in the Times, for the smoke
from the strikers guns.
Hardly less lurid than the illustra-
ton was the story of the attack, made
up from reports sent in by the oper-
ators who were under fire"
We can neither condemn nor COM
mend the attitude of the Times toward
unionism in general; that is a matter
between the Times and the unions.
The Times has made a long and very
successful fight against organized labor
and seems to have thrived nightly
while it was fighting. We are not
acquainted with the circumstances of
this ancient quarrel between the Times
and its printers, but we had assumed
that the success Of the Times without
the aid of the typographical union was
a sign of merit on its side.
We have been equally unfamiliar
with the facts alleged by the Times in
its frequent attacks upon unionism in
connection with industrial disturbances
in Los Angeles and elsewhere on the
coast. but If they were of piece with
the facts alleged as to the Ash Fork
affair. we can not avoid the conclu
sion that the obsession OF the Times
renders It wholly unreliable in all mat
tiers in which unionism is concerned.
AS has been shown the attack upon
the Postal office at Ash Fork was not
encouraged or participated in by the
striking telegraphers who have since
voiced sincere regret at its occurrence
and with other union men at Ash Fork
have pledged themselves to assist in
preventing a repetition of the outrage. |
The attack was started and led by !
a drunken cowboy and outlaw who had
interest neither in organized labor nor
in the business of the telegraph COM
pany. He probably knew that strikes !
are frequently attended by violence !
and the situation according to his be- |
fuddled notions offered him the oppor- |
tunity to shoot up something. 1T is |
stated that the lives Of the working /
operators were not endangered and |
that the property of the company was
not seriously damaged, though the |
great damage If he had desired or de-
termined to do so.
Our only objection to the Times
story of the Ash Fork case is that if /
Il were given wide circulation it might |
be extremely detrimental to the repu-
tation Of Arizona as a law abiding and
safe territory to live in

all kinds of luck, good or bad as one
looks at ii. Some weeks ago he was
driving a wagon for the Doris COM
,pany by whom he is employed. and
came near being hit by a live trolley
wire along Washington street, but by
good luck and agility in getting away
he was uninjured. Yesterday while
driving along beside the Brill car line
his horse suddenly turned across the
track in front of a car and though
Morris says that the motorman had
time to stop he did not and the horse
was struck in the side and was so In
jured as to be worthless and had to
be shot. The wagon was smashed up
but Morris was not hurt, another evil
dence of his good luck The motor
man claims that he did not have time
TO stop the car before it was upon the
wagon and horse.

,ass of the people felt might concern

mass of the people felt might concern
them.
The new law went into effect just
la year ago yesterday. less one week.
Within that time the commission has
no where fixed a rate. Shortly before
August 90, 1906, some of the railroads
announced a voluntary lowering of
rates. but since then many rates have
been raised far in excess OF the rates
that had prevailed for months. The
commission has been burdened with
complaints of unequal. If not unreason-
able rates. but SO far as we can recall
where ii has readjusted rates, IL has
only transferred the cause OF complaint
from one community to another as in
matter of rates on flour and wheat to
Arizona and Pacific coast points. The
decision in that case permitted and
even commanded the railroads. not to
lower the rate on one commodity, but
to bring the rates closer together
either by lowering one or by raising the
other: that is the extent of the rate
fixing in which the commission has
iSdulged. The commission has seemed
to avoid a conflict with the roads
which might result in an appeal to
the United States supreme court to
determine whether the rate making
power was lawfully delegated.
As to the prosecutions for discrim-
lnation all Of them have taken place I
under the Eikins law; not one under |
the new law. Indeed, Mr.. Foraker re-
Gently stated that a conviction could |
not be obtained under the new law:
that if the Standard Oil case had been |
under the new law the pros |
ecution would have failed.
The so-called rate law, has accom-
plished nothing in the course of a year
that was expected Of 1t. 1t has been
lsed only to harry the railroads. inter-

COMMERCE WITH PANAMA.

/ Exports from the United States to
Panama are increasing with very
great rapidity. The exports to Pan.
anna during the year just ending will
| aggregate little more than fourteen
million dollars, against nearly eight
| millions In 1905. and a little more
than two and onc-half millions in
1904. The figures for the full year
have not yet reached the Bureau Of
Statistics OF the Department of Com.
merce and Labor, but those for the
eleven months ending with Novem-
Der were sl2,95G,S71, and, as the fig
urcs for the single month OF Noyem-
Der were $1.273,5O7, it is quite appar-
ont that the grand total for the full
calendar year will exceed fourteen
million dollars.
These figures cover only the cx
ports to Panama sent in merhant
vessels and do not include that sent
by Government transports or naval
vessels. What proportion of this to-.
tai of over fourteen million dollars
worth of merchandise sent by mer-
chant vessels to Panama is sent for
the Government, or by its representa-
tivcs, can not be determined at pres
cnt, since the shipments of this char
acter when sent by vessels engaged
in the general transportation of com.

ual exporters or firms. While n con-

ing or other merchandise intended for
Individual use rather than for the ca.
nal works. The fact that the value
of the native products sent from Pan
anna to the United States aggregates
threefourths of million dollars an
nually, and that the purchasing power
of the people adjacent to the Canal
Zone Is doubtless greatly augmented
by their trade relations with those
employed upon the works of the ca.
nal, suggests that perhaps two mil
lion dollars worth may be destined
for importers and dealers located out.

PuGnncity of Rats.

A glove manufacturer took from a
cabinet handsome pair OF brown
gloves. These gloves are made Of
ratskin," lie said. "They look well Mt
first glance, but examine them care
fully. Look into the skin. The skin,
though soft and fine, revealed on close
examination great many cuts and
years and scratches. None OF these
went quite through. Nevertheless their
effect was to weaken the gloves great
ly. '"rhose cuts and scars" said the
manufacturer, "are what bar ratskin
out of glovemaklng. You never get q
skin without them; hence you can't
turn the damaged skin into good
glove. Rats fight SO much that they
become Mt an early age q mass OF
scars. Their torn hides are of no use
to commerce."
