REAL THIEVES TO GO UNpuN-
ISHED.

:Ehe~SIgar Trust is a New JERSEY
corporation. Its capital is 100000
OF preferred stock. There is conclu-
slVe evidence that two-thirds of this
capitalization is water, but under the
present tariff this trust has earned
profits amounting to as high as 90
per cent year on it's total capitaliza-
ton, water and all. And the American
people; the consumers, have paid these
profits
But these profits were not large
enough sc this trust paid humble en-
ployes five dollars week more wages
to smugsle sugar, and rob the govern
ment of mere millions.
The men who for this paltry wage
1ncrease spiked the government scales
to help the trust steal two millions
fron the government will 20 to prison
no doubt. The real culprits will 70
scott free, and in congress majority

Will probably help the trust to con-
tlnue taking from fifty to sixty mil
lions year out of the pockets Of the
American people through the aid Of
the sugar tariff, ard what are the
American people going to do about it :?
Are they going to keep on forever
voting for an aggregation of polite
iahs whose chief concern is, to serve
such unho.y combinations as the sugar
trust to tine betrayal of the people :?
1t seems like it, though we hope for
the best.

ARRAIGNs LAKE CARRIERS,

Since President Livingstone, Of the
Lake Carriers association, issued his
statement explaining the workings Of
the welfare plan, President William
E. Yates Of the Marine Engineers
Beneficial association, has made an
extended and scathing reply, giving
his idea Of the controversy. He said,
among other things, that the engineers
had no quarrel with the open shop
proposition, but that the union does
question the brand Of open shop under
which the Lake Carriers association
ships were operated last year.
He: reiterated the charge that the
Lake Carriers Association last wear
forced men to renounce allegiance to
all unions before giving them employ
ment. He also refuted President Liv-
ingstone's assertion that there is no
strike, pointing to the hiring of de-
tectives to-. guard the men, who, he
claims, are being imported here to
man the vessels ~
President Yates statement was a
long document.
