COURT sUsTAINs THE '-
/. NEW LIABILITY LAW
Railroad Companies Responsible for
S-=. Mems Injuries Despite Fellow
!. 81 Workers Negligence. f..

/: NEW YORK, Jan n221.--According to
q decision handed down by the Court
Of Appeals theRaidroad Employers
Liability act, passed by the Legisla-
<ture in 1906, is constitutional. The
railroads had bitterly opposed the law
on the ground Of unconstitutionality
AS a, result Of the decision of the
highest court in the state about a
dozen suits for damages now pending
will be brought to trial. The law
holds a company liable for damages
sustained by an employe through the
negligence Of another employe. r
The case In point was that of Her
man Schradin, an electrician in the
employ Of the New York Central, VINO
was killed on the viaduct by a train,
the engineer having failed to blow
his whistle and the watchman to give
a signal. - $751;.
A jury before Judge Platzek in the
Supreme Court found a verdict of
$4,000 damages for Schradin's family.
The: railroad company took the case
to the Appellate Division and then to
the Court OF Appeals, losing in both
instances. The contention of the New
York Central was that the law was
a violation of the fourteenth amend
ment of the constitution, in that it
was an unjust discrimination against
,railroad corporations, but the court
overruled this contention and sus-
tanned the original verdict.

TWIN CITY UNIONS ~. ~
REDUCE THEIR FEES
Believe it Will Contribute to Increas.
ing the Applications for
Membership.

ST. PA**., Jan. 21.-Many twin
city unions are reducing tneir initia-
tion fees temporarily for the purpose
Of testing the effect on securing new
members. 1t is the opinion OF many
union men that high initiation fees
keep. more would-be members out of
unions than any other thing. In the
cases Of those unions which have
given the new fees a trial, results are
said to have been encouraging. Sub
stantial increases are reported in the
membership list of. the Cabinetmakers
in the twin cities, but in the case of
the Plumbers union, which also made
the experiment. the gains were not as
great.
Last melting night the Steamfiitters'
union decided to put in effect a re-
duced initiation fe for thirty days.
The reduction is from $50 to $25 for
journeymen, and from $25 to SIS for
helpers The Steamf1tters' union re-
Gently has added benefit. attraction.
A death benefit ranging from $50 to
$3.50, according to length Of member
ship, and a strike benefit Of S. per
week. are features of the new order
of things. Delinquent members, who
are not in arrears more than three
months, will be reinstated for Sc, and
helpers who are not more than six
months behind in dues will be taken
back for SO. Helpers who are eligible
for transfer to the Steamfitters' union
will be transferred for a fee Of $40,
where $25 was formerly the price.

BENEFITS TO ACCRUE
To ORGANIZED LABOR
From Advice and Counsel of Min
isterial Fraternal Delegates
to Central Unions.
BY THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE

6T IHE REV. CHARLES S1ElZlE
Something like five years ago the
Presbyterian department of church and
labor inaugurated the plan Of the ex-
change of fraternal delegates between
central labor unions and ministers as
soclations. The plan is now in opera
ton in about 100 cities throughout the
United States. The ministers declare
almost to man that he experience
which has come them in this rela-
tionsnip has been of great value in
giving them a broader vision as to
what the labor movement stands for.
But the =workingnlen also give their
testimony as to the value of the plan.
Following are few extracts from let
tiers recently received in my office:
from Iowa.
boiler maker in Iowa writes for
the workingmen of his city:
The ministers could help us; they
are learned men and their advice
would ofttimes be helpful in deciding
questions of Importance. Also they
nave an opportunity to speak a good
word for the workingman, that COM
ing from them would carry much
weight"
From Massachusetts.
printer from Massachusetts, writes:
"One effective way of helping would
be to attend all the meetings possible
of the Central Labor Union, and by
MS advice many things which happen
IN the labor world would be averted.,
From California. ~
About a California minister a work.
ingman writes:
His advice and counsel nave been
of much benefit to our organization,
occupying as he does one of the most
prominent pulpits in the city. A long
distance view of the labor movement
by. some ministers is never a. correct
one. He can only quote correctly who
gets down into it, and once there, does
not jump at conclusions"
From Oklahoma.
A letter from Oklahoma saws: -
I think it would be helpful to nave
as many delegates as could be had
1t would show to the members that
labor organizations are not workins
against the welfare of anyone, and thai
| they are working for the best interest.
OF the great mass of common people
1t would also nelp to keep some of ou1
members and rganizations from being
SO radical and would nelp to teach q
great many of the church members
| that it is not their duty as American
citizens to fight the .laboring man am
endeavor to crush him down. A de.
cent home, and living is as sweet tc
iaboring men, their wives and, child
rem as it Is to business men and thei1
Families. I am heartily pleased witt
the movement of the Presbyteriar
church toward labor, which is Chris
tlan act, and great help to the up
hitting Of millions of downtrodden h,1-
| manity."

INTEL, ,IIGENT ANALYSIS :,
OF TRUSTEES REPORT
Shows That Published Report of
Church is Fencing With Pub ::
lie Opinion.

| NEW YORK, Jan. 21-Tne follow
ing are excerpts taken from a state
| ment: by Charles Edward Russell,
I originally written for the New York
Evening Call. The famous Journalist
probes into the sources of Trinity
Church's revenue, and points out many
flaws and concealments in the report
of the trustees. :{.s~
Complaints Against Trinity.
The complaints against Trinity are
four:
l. That being a public corporation
with very important duties and re-
lations it has been conducted with a
secrecy not campatable with public in
terests.
2. That it has presistantly apposed
the efforts tosecure better tenement
house conditions and better environ
ment for the class of people tnat in
habits it's houses. y.
3. That it's policy Of refusing to
make improvements has been very
great injury to the Eighth Ward, has
depressed values and assessments
there, and has thrown in consequence
an unfair burden of taxation upon
the rest Of the city.
4. That some of the Trinity tene-
ments violated the law, many of them
are hideous .fire-traps, and most Of
them are unfit for human nabitation.
That is the total of the charges
contained in the articles I wrote about
Trinity, if the gentlemen Of the vestry
are trying this statement to shoot
their bullets at me. -, = =
AS to the first charge the corpora
ton makes confession by abandoning
Its policy Of secrecy, and for the first
time admitting the public to any
knowledge of Trinity's aaifers. ~
AS to the second charge 1t is silent.
AS to the third charge 1T Is silent.

ties, and eight dry counties as nearly

the auditors report compare their
criminal expenses for the year ending

Abolish Monopoly and Landlord
ism and the Problem is For
ever Solved.
NATIONS REAL BLIGHT ''
is LANDLORD MONOPOLY
Only Three Factors in Production
of Wealth: Land, Labor
and Capital.

James Pollock Kohler, a member of
the New York city bar, has issued a
book the title of which is "All About
Panics; Hard Times, the cause and
Cure. A Plea for Perpetual Pros
perity.''
MIR. Kohler is a lawyer who mas
been employed by many notable cor
porations-by banks, railroads and
other institutions. He was a personal
friend Of. Henry Ward Beecher and
was a member Of Becher's church.
We state these facts as evidence that
Attorney Kohler is not a crank. He
is a student and a scholar, He mas
studied law from A to z. Just as he
has studied law and made a SUCCESS
Of it, he also has studied panics and
their cause. And having studied the
cause of paincs he has discovered the
cure for them. There is not a bit
Of doubht in our mind that he is alb;
solutely sure of his ground.
Sun Spot Economists. =.
Mn. Kohler in his little but power
full book does not forget to note the
various reasons others have advanced
regarding the cause of panics. The
sun spot econmist comes in for a share
Of attention. Did you know there are
sun spot economists? There are
plenty of them. They maintain that
when spots appear on the sun hard
times are sure to follow. Then we
have those economists who. insist that
hard times are the result Of people
living too high-of people who spend
to olnuch money for cigars, tobacco
and finery. There is another class of
economists who declare that panics
are caused. by over-produotion, as
though there could be overproduction
when hundreds Of. thousands are in
need of shoes and clothing and things
to eat. There is still another school
Of economists who hold that 'ttinkering
with the tart iff',S and. esstonalSaei
,tat1enE'a are often tine cause.sm panics.
Another school not long since ad-
vanced the. theory that d. single gold
standard would save the country from
ruin.
Gold Standard People. .
The single gold standard people won
out. Their: theory was accepted as
the right one. Anybody who differed
from them was brandedAas an anar-
chist. We. have not forgotten how the
gold standard advocates maligned the
sixteentoone adherents. We have not
forgotten how the gold standard fol-
lowers denounced those who favored
the sixten-to-one policy as those who
would cut the dollar of the working
man in twO,. and make it worth only
