They won this victory in shorter
time than New York did, and
with little assistance save from
the friendly legislators.
1t is a glorious victory, and it
means that the people can now
feel confident that whenever they
appeal to the Legislature for
what is right and proper they
can count on it. The good in
huence of this victory will make
itself felt throughout the short
remainder of the present session
and for all time. Other measures
have been somewhat held back of
late by the fact that public atten-
ton has been largely concentra-
ted on the Locke bill. They will
now receive the attention they
deserve, will be considered from
the high standpoint of public in

par with that of ~ esterday, the

NEW RATES ON PACKAGE
FREIGHT NOW EFFECTIVE
New Rule of Postoffice De-
partment in Effect.

Chicago, July 1t has been an
nounced that the railroads of the mid
die West have decided to restore the
old rates on package freight, putting
into force again the former minimum
charges for shipments of this charac-
ter
The move means a saving of thous
ands of dollars annually to shippers
of this section. The old minimum of
% cents was in force from Chicago to
the Mississippi river and st. Paul.
West of there. as far as central Kan
sas, the charge was so cents. and
from that section to the coast the
minimum was Is cents. The change
made a year ago when these rates
were abolished and the first-class
rate was substituted, brought in
creases of from so to 500 per cent
The increase, for example. to Okla
homa points was from IS cents to
$3.50 and to Colorado points it was
$3.50.
The roads found, however, that the
disparity in rates caused by the mini
mum established by state railroad
commissions gave certain cities big
advantages over neighboring distribu-
ting centers.

TO THE RICHMOND WoRkINGMAN

Today, the Palladium extends its
congratulations to the laboring men,
union and non-union. of Richmond. 1t
pledges its support and best wishes to
the workingman; it honors the ideals
and attainments of organized labor
and it understands and respects the
opposite views of the unorganized
trades. All work in the same cause
and for common good-the uplift of
man-and each one is party to the
advancement being so rapidly made.
The great question of labor and its
corrolaries, wages and hours of SER
vice, dates back to the beginning of
history, when superior physical power
made slave prisoners of the weaker
tribes. Civilization arose with slave
labor as a basis and have relapsed to
be covered with the dust Of centuries.
Great dynasties came into being with
monarchial rulers at their heads, but
IQeTe Was no SldDle lOuNQdtlOn LOT Ia
Dor, and the thrones crumbled into
ashes. The ancients possessed art,
but not humanity; science. but not
economics Their theories were as
haif-civilized as their warfare.
America was peopled with slaves
three hundred years ago and the bur
den Of labor fell upon the captive
blacks from the African coast. HUI
manitarians controlled north of Mason
and Dixon and the traffic never flour
ished. Still, white labor was cheap
and the workingman little better than
the black slave. The North foresaw
and ordained and the tottering labor
system of the South gave place to the
substantial basis already established
in the Northern States. 1t has been
forty-five years since the slaves were
freed and labor placed on the market
like any other commodity, governed

His Trial Is Postponed Until
Today.

Berlin. July 1.-The trial of Prince
Philip Zu Gutenberg on charges OF per-
jury and subordination or perjury in
connection with the round table"
scandal of last year, was continued in
this city yesterday. The hearings are
being held in private.
The Prince pleaded not guilty, and
declared that the Munich witnesses
had either been bribed or were mad.
The Court began by taking the tes-
timony of Baron Alphonse De Roths-
child of Vienna.
During the afternoon session the
Prince was suddenly overcome with
weakness, and restoratives had TO be
applied. The sitting was suspended
until today. the Prince being removed
in an auto to the Charity HOSPITAL,
where he is held a prisoner.

by the laws of supply and demand
In the first place, efficiency has
won prestige and this prestige has
been so used as to gain other points
Labor early recognized that, as a COM
modify, to buy and sell, the balance of
power would always be with capital
unless the workingmen organized to
deal with their employers as 4 unit,
instead of individually. Unions were
formed among the trades and soon
spread throughout the entire country.
AS if by magic, the frightened strands
Of many employers tyranny were
swept aside. A monopoly of labor was
pitted against a monopoly of capital
and as in any industrial country, la
Dor won. The unions represented
merely a declaration OF rights at a
time when labor was either to assert
itself and claim its own, or be crush
ed back into poverty and oppression.
The union has been great factor in
establishing labor in it's present posi-
ton. 1t may be claimed that our ad-
vanced civilization works to the same
end. True enough, but only in COM
mendation, for civilization is slow
to take such steps for the betterment
of the masses. The laboring men
have done their task of their own ac-
cord.
What has been accomplished? The
good cannot be measured in dollars
and cents. There has been a gradual,
but constant uplift of the working
mans condition, affecting his happi-
ness, his station in life and his health
He has had an opportunity to become
independent, own his home and estab-
lish himself as man among men.
The union has fostered spirit of
brotherhood and generous sympathy
among its members. The good can
not be denied.
The over-reaching of power and the
throttling of small employers by boy
colts and other methods has never
affected Richmond. Thanks for this
perhaps is due to the class of working
men whose opinions are freely
against organized labor. The two
classes have an equalizing effect and
with the unpleasantneGs of strikes
eliminated, and at the same time the
offers the ideal home-s.te for the labor
ing man, as well as the best of op-
portunity for capital.

WISHES SERIOUS

Elijah Brookbank Being Tried
At New Castle.

New Castle, Ind, July l. The trial
of the case of the state VS.. Elijah
Brookbank, of Fayette county, who is
charged with shooting with intent to
kill City Marshal Price of Rushville,
at the time of the Watson celebration
a few months ago, was called in the
Circuit court yesterday afternoon, hav-
ing been venued here.
1t is expected that the trial will
prove an interesting one from the fact
that Price is uncompromising and re-
fused to consent to the elimination of
the intent to kill clause of the affi-
davit.
Quite a number of witnesses from
Connersville and Rushville have been
called and the trial is expected to
consume at least two days.
