The forcible feeding of the Birming-
ham suffragettes, who refused the pris-
on food offered, was brought to the Of
ical attention of the British parlia-
ment by Keir Hardie, the Sociallst
member who held up the regular bust
ness to ask the government II the
woman thus fed with a stomach pump
had suffered no serious physical injury
at the hands of the prison officials
Hardie quoted medical authorities TO
the effect that such feeding was al
ways injurious and often fatal. He
was informed that Home Secretary
Gladstone had yielded to the request
of the three women prisoners that they
be permitted to see their lawyers, al
though it was supposed that their pur-
pose was to prosecute the officials. One
of the three, Laura Ainsworth, was
freed and thereafter she described her
experience as horrible" saying that
nausea and violent headache followed
the pump feeding. OF course the
suffragettes might have avoided the ex-
perience. There was nothing to pre-
vent their taking necessary nourshment
in the natural way. Inasmuch as they
would not, the prison officials either
had to feed them or stand accused OIL
murder. 1t does not seem that there
was anything left them but the pump.

Repetition of the fact that now is
the time to buy,and not at the higher
levels to which we are going, is, in
our opinion, space well employed. Also
we believe that every line given to
urging real estate and home invest
ment under the installment plan OF
the Ely Securities Co., represents SER
vice in the best interests of the public
of the district. Every man who may
be brought to build a home under the
installment plan is a better cltizen
made for the camp. He will take more
interest in it's progress from the tim
he puts in his first dollar. 1t is a
pocket book matter with him to push
and to help upbuild in all ways, IN
dustrially, socially and politically
Every home owner added to the com
munity also means more money in cir
~culation in the legitimate channels OF
trade, and also bnoader credit in the
wholesale markets for every merchant
in the community. While to the in

family that would otherwise go to the
family of the rent collector. Also Il

Rate of dividend on stock increased
from 5.43 per cent in 1897 to 6.2S per
cent in 1907, an increase of IA per cent.
OF these figures, the %ircul says:
cit is submitted that this marvellous
showing of net results to the carrier
under the present freight rate schedu-
les refute entirely Mr.. McCain's con-
t%ention, n instead shows hat there
are unaswerable arguments for a re-
duction in rates that far outweigh
those for an advance, and that any
further advance in freight rates,
either directly or by change of classifi-
cation, should be vigorously opposed by
the shipping interests of the whole
country"
The argument here advanced by the
two interests bring out the crux of the
whole railway situation. The argument
on the one hand is that the profit per
ton of freight as a unit is not large
enough, while the shippers evade this
contention and point to the gross re-
suits. 1t is, of course, obvious that our
railways could not have existed If the
growth in the volume of traffic had not
been more than sufficient to offset first
of all the gradual reduction in rates
large expenses caused by the advance
in the cost of materials and abor.
Hence, the net results, as shown by
the figures prepared by the shippers
associations, ic satisfactory, notwith-
standing, as the railways point out, the
income per ton of freight has been re-
duced by lower rates and the net earn
ings per ton still further reduced by
higher expenses. This controversy is
which is rapidly becoming the most
important with which we ave to deal.

THE RAILROAD RATE QUESTION.

The various shipper" associations
of the country are to hold a meeting
in Chicago this week for the purpose
of formulating plans to head off any
attempt by the railway companies to
bring about an advance in freight
rates. The leaders in the association,
at least, are of the opinion that the
railway anage have never abandon
ed their determination to secure high
er rates and it is feared in some quar-
tiers that the bitter controversy be-
tween the shippers and the railways of
last year may be renewed. There are
sixteen organizations interested in the
call for the meeting, representing busi-
ness interests principally throughout
the middle west. 1t will be recalled
that in the three-cornered fight be-
tween the companies, the organizations
of employees and the association of
shippers that the railways were forced
to accede to the demands of the men
that wages should not be reduced and
to the demands of the shippers that
rates should not be advanced.
The railways position has been sue
cinctly stated in a pamphlet written
by C. C. Mccain, chairman of the Trunk
Line association, entitled The Dimin-
ished Purchasing Power of Railway
Earnings" In this the railroad argu-
ments for an increase in rates, based
on the increase in the cost of railway
supplies and capital and the enhanced
value of commodities, are set forth ell
aborately, and it is declared that: 1.-THE
increase in railway rates necessary
fully to offset this decrease in the value
of the money rates are paid would
1913 per cent of the money rate now
in force"
Nj. Mccain rests his argument or
the fact that a fifteen ton carload OF
fourth class freight carried between
New York and Chicago in 1907 brought
to the carriers the same gross revenue
$105, that it did in 1897, in spite of tn,
increased expenses.
The call for the coming meeting i.
the direct result of a conference at
tended by representatives of sixteer
shippers associations of Ohio and Indi

Among the more important features
of the aggressive program adopted by
the recent Chicago Convention of the
National Women's Trade Union League
were: State pensions for working

work, protected machinery, sanitary
workshops, separate toilets, and a
