PARCELS POST ALONE "
r.. WILL CHECK ROBBERY

John Wanamaker's famous skit
about the . four reasons why we
cannot have a parcels post" has
just had its edge sharpened by a
report Of the Merchants Associa-
ton Of New. York on the exorbi-
tant profits Of the four great ex-
press companies -
This report shows that these
companies get net returns Of from
.43 to Is per cent-or more-on
the capital actually employed in
their business. The report is a
part Of a campaign that is being
undertaken by various commercial
bodies throughout the country
with a view to compelling a re-
duction Of express rates by appeal
to the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Of course the only sufficient
and conclusive; rejoinder to the
extortions of the express monop-
oily is the parcels post. The nation
should carry it's own packages.

HAVE N. Y, LAWMAKERS
SOLVED THE PROBLEM?

The rule Of more haste, less
speed seems to apply to employ
ers' liability legislation. The states
that have accomplished most dur
ing the sessions Of last winter are
those that undertook least, says
the Minneapolis Tribune.
New York seems to have gotten
two very satisfactory bills, as far
as they 60, one compulsory for
extra hazardous employments, the
other designed to induce en-
ployers in other kinds of industry
to offer their workmen voluntary
contracts embodying similar terms.
The inducement consists in re-
peal of a number of laws en-
ployers have worked through the
legislature setting up defenses on
their part which make it hard for
juries to give a verdict in favor Of
an injured employee. It must be
said that juries have shown great
ingenuity and enterprise in over
coming these artificial defenses Of
employers, so that many of the
latter have entered into voluntary
contracts with their workmen
without waiting for inducements
like that Of the New York law.
This is wise anticipation on
their part because other states
have gone or are preparing to 60
much farther than New York in
tearing down the artificial legal
defenses. Of employers against
damage suits The compulsory bill

SINKING OF GOODYEAR
CALLS FOR GOVT PROBE

The sinking Of the steamer Frank
H. Goodyear with loss Of 18
lives, off PIT. Au Barques, Lake
Huron on May 23d, as a result of
a collision with the steamer James
B. Wood, ought to bring a thor
ough investigation by the proper
government officials into condi~
tons under which Lake Carriers
Association ships are now being
navigated.
Incompetent crews, hired to re-
place the seamen now on strike,
and the consequent overwork re-
quired Of the ship officers, are the
main causes Of this heavy loss of
life. Instead of seamen, laborers
and boys are very largely en-
ployed on these vessels during the
strike. The Lake Carriers asso-
citation has not enough competent
seamen in it's employ to average
two for each of the larger type Of
vessels.
That same association of ship
owners has carefully avoided MAX
ing any public comment upon the
heavy loss of life in the Goodyear
case, except to use it in an attempt
to boast about the so-called insur-
ance feature of it's notorious 'wel-
fare plan' that caused the strike
now in progress on the lakes.
Death alone is the one thing that
can show the slightest good in that
miserable passport system. Death
brings a hundred dollars insur-
ance (for violent death on board
ship only and--release from the
whole vicious scheme.
The Lake Carriers might better
remain silent. They cannot now
replace the husbands and fathers
who went down with the ship.
The whole matter ought to be
made the subject Of a rigid gov
eminent investigation. It is the
second case Of the same nature
since the strike began.

Wall Street Socialism Is
Y Big Interests Latest Fad

Restless under the growing des-
potism of the United States steel
trust the workers are organizing for
revolt. They began by setting their
grievances before the public.
Now what answer does the steel
trust make to the appeal of its
toilers?
It makes one answer only,-the
answer it usually makes to those who
trouble it. and that is bribery.
1t has bribed presidents, senator's,
congressman and courts. It is now
endeavoring to bribe a few of it's
slaves.
Its press agent gives out the state
ment hiatt eight millions will be set
aside by the trust with which to
pension its employees.
George w. Perkins, the right hand
man of Morgan, speaking of the BEN
efits conferred by pension funds and
profit-sharing refers to their results
in these words:
I'm these results is there not a
form Of socialism of the highest best
and most ideal sort, socialism that
makes real partners of the employer
and employe, and yet preserves the
right of private, property-retaining
the capitalists incentive of enter
prise while giving the worker new
inspiration for effort-humanizing a.
vast acknowledgements good
will and industrial peace?"
Stop! Look! Listen!
A form of socialism has at last
been discovered that the bosses like!
But no fooling, George, we're on to
you! That's a pleasant name, but
you haven't the goods.
Heretofore in the worlds history
your sort of socialism has been called
despotism and czarism.
1t is clever, George, and shrewd to
speak of It now as socialism but,
George. we're Johnny on the spot
and you can't conceal your hideous
engine of tyranny, oppression and
robbery under that name!
And we are going to expose you.

man of the United States steel trust,
so that even the most stupid will see
your game.

dollars to their bosses that would
equal the profits of the steel trust.
And If the bosses were to give

pension fund. :.. 80.
And this simply means that after
the steel trust has given its eight
million dollars to the workers, it has
six hundred and eight millions left
In it's pocket to promote it's kind Of
socialisnn-on Wall street.
Now, consider what this six hun
dred and sixteen millions net income
might do for the workers Of America.
If the employees of the United
States steel trust had this fund they
might grow reckless and give thirty
dollars to every family in the United
States.
They might grow fatherly and give
three hundred and eight dollars to
every child laborer in the United
States which would be enough to
give him or her two years more of
school.
They might become luxurious and
give an automobile to every family
In New York city at Christmas.
They might become merciful and
give a pension of three hundred dol
lars to every unemployed man in
the United States.
They might out-Phipps Phips and
erect with this sum thirteen great
hospitals in every state of the union
to care for those suffering from tu-
berculosis
They might become better SOCIAL
1sts' than George and give a pen
sion of one hundred dollars. year
to every steel worker and to every
white man besides in the United
States who is over sixty years old.
They might do more. They might
with this sum of money have bought
the entire original steel trust twice
over, with all its mills, factories, ore
mines and coal mines, and they
might have kept one trust for them
selves and given the other one to
the bosses.
And they might have worked their
own and let the capitalists work
theirs.
This might have been socialism.
: = AAAS Aa6HI nave uH6anL lnQuStr1a
democracy; it might have meant
peace and plenty for every one of
the miserable toilers in the mills Of
the great trust. \
But this is not the kind of social
ism that George w. Perkins talks
about. His socialism is different.
His socialism says to every single
steel worker, man, woman or child
Make us a present Of three thous-
and and eighty dollars in nine years
and we will return to each one of
you handsome old age pension of
forty dollars"
1t says, yield us a net income in
| nine years of. six hundred and sixteen
millions and we will be generous with
you and put aside the fabulous sum
of eight millions to care for those of
you who are crippled or injured,
and for the families of those who are
killed.
And that means to bride them with
the product Of their own labor.
Not only do they with this bride
blind the workers to this stupendous
| robbery but even keep them from
associating together to protect their
interests.
And there's another string to the
bride. For those who take it are
| pledged not to leave their employ Or
to take part in any protest against
| the robbery and brutality Of those
eminent Socialists" of Wall street
