Secretary Morrison Of the Am AricIn
Federation has asked the government
to investigate low wages as we'll us
peOnage ut McKees Rocks. No time
should be lost by, the department of
commerce and labor in complying with
this request. Two presidents-Roose-
velt and Taft-have boosted that pub
licity is the best weapon to use against
the bad corporations. No better
experiment station to test the power
of publicity can be found than the
plant Of the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany.
Secretary Morrison rightly contends
that as the company is enabled by the
protective system to charge much
higher prices for it's products than it
could without the tariff the govern
ment has u just reason for making an
investigation of the declining wage
scale at McKee's Rock
Free trade in foreign labor and pro-
lection for products permit the indus
trial trusts to enslave immigrants
while increasing the cost of living. 1t
is IL situation that confirms Democratic
and insurgent arguments in congress,
hut it is to be hoped that this will not
deter President Taft, whose loving
kindness is almost a proverb; from I'M
covering the horrors at McKees Rocks.
Publicity never had better chance to
stamp out abuses and restore hope,
happiness and emancipation to victims
OF oppression.
Secretary Morrison insists that the
riOting and needless sacrifice of life
uring the strike has been the direct
results ''of unbearable and unbeliev-
able conditions forced upon defenseless
and helpless wage workers."
THE conditions under which the
employees work and live are such that
they are unfit for publication" says
the pastor of st. Mary's Catholic
church.
Something of the immortality caused
by low wages has been told in the
press from time to time. Evidently
worse remains behind Perhaps gov
ernm entail publicity can uuearth the
whole truth and will dare to publish it.

Light on a Dark Subject

The following from the Carson Ap-
peal throws some light on the hidden
secrets of the Hickey Banks:
1T may be of interest to our sub
Scribers to know something of the in
side history of the State Bank and
Trust Company failure With this aim
in view.we will from time to time throw
II little light upon its management.
On June %, 1907, the Hickey Land
and Cattle Company had OH deposit in
the State Bank and Trust Company ST.
SO0.32; on August 10, 1901 the dc post
stood $3S, 1912; on August ~, 1897 the
company withdrew $127, 900, leaving an
ovcrdraft of $50, 3D.. 30; on August 90,
1907 the Overdraft stood SlO4. 942. 03.
October 49, 1907. the overdraft stood
SGl17O1
Did the management have any idea
of the unsafe condition of the institution
prior to its closing"
As shedding more light on the rotten
transaction Of that institution the An.
peal publishes a copy of That Famous
Sealed Letter" from Cashier Davis TO

Tonopah, Goldfeld, Manhattan and

Gentlemen:
Under existing conditions which
render it impossible for us to make col
lection at our various banks, and the
serious draia on deposits in the sou thern
banks for the past few months, result
ing from labor troubles, ETC., it is more
than likely that the State Bank and
Trust Co., will be obliged to suspend,
temporarily, at least. ...
You will, therefore, if such step is
decided upon, close your doors UPON a
wire authorizing you to act on this let
ter, stating t } the public the facts as
above, and also that our resources are
ample to pay every obligation when
general conditions become better.
Yours truly,
JAS. T. DAVIS,
w. = : Cashier.
Did the state bank officials have any
idea of the insolvency of the institution
prior to it's closing?
Attention is called to the date of
this letter The bank closed on October
23, 1907, 10 days following the writing
of the letter..
