WHU PAYS HE FREIGHT?

 on the editorial page of a Shawne, paper some comments under th, caption "Who pays the Freight?
 In this article the question is 1 asked. Do the employees WI, 1 indorse the provisions and peti. tions seeking to increase the frieght rates know what they are idoing?"
 It also asks. When in the name Of God will the working man get down to business and look at things other than he is wanted to by the corporations?'
 I feel that a reflection on the intelligence of the railroad em. ployes is implied in the asking of such a question and that the writ CT of the editorial in question did hot perhaps give the situation the thoughts and consideration it deserves, or he would not have passed judgment quite so pre- maturely as he did in this case.
 We might better ask, ';N hen in the name of God are the polit icians who have been given the support of the railroad employes. going to show that they are en- titled to that support?"
 Railroad employees must live and must necessarily pay for everything they have to buy to sustain life and provide comfort for themselves and their families.
 1t has been the common excuse that railroad rates have been so high that, the selling price of all commodities were governed ac- cordingly. Conditions in this country do not bear this out orl the claim in any m9nrer. from the Federal Bur eau of Labor show thst living increased Il per cent. ] in the year 1909 alone. Statistics from tbis same bureau also show that in the past ten years the in- crease in pay in all classes of labor in the industrial world and on railroads has amounted to only 12 per cent. or-1 per cent more than the cost of wing. in the year 1909 alone.
 The railroads have been re- gulated Co this extent as shownI from Interstate Commisson re- cords. Since 1883 to 1910 their compensation has been reduced 1 from 2 42 cents to POI cents forl carrying a passenger one mile, and from 1.22 cents to TT centsj for hauling a ton of freight one nile, or a reduction of about 40j per cent which means that ouri ,ailroads are hauling all traffic 40 ' per rent. cheaper than is being lone in any other country on the ace of the earth, estimated in Talue of American money.
 The Federal Bureau of In ormation shows the followingI IgHres as increases for the years 900 to 1908: .20.6 per cent 'uel and lighting. .30.8 per cent. Ietals and Imple- rents. ................ 25.4 per cent. ....~....16.0 per cent. u lumber and build : 1g material. ........ B 1 per cent.

in taking the position we do JUDO

 loves of railroads or as fair minc
 d citizens.
 You can take the tariff sheet
 f Oklahoma alone which ewer
 revised by the Oklahoma Corpol
 4tion Commission and put int
 efe in 1908 and which wer
 used for political purposes by be
 ing sown broadcast. Take the re
 duction in rates on coal, lumber

 all kin6s, foodstuffs, etc., whicl
 were reduced to the extent O taking $5,CC0,CC0 away from. tn,

 been saved to the people. ask in all candor, Did vol
 buy any one of the above article. any cheaper?" Did anyone else?' We have two million ot people in the state. Did they
 benefit by these reductions?' No! We have five thousand retailers, wholesalers .jobbers ir this state that did benefit by them, and they alone. as cCmpar ed with two millions. of people that did not.
 These are the men that. are arrayed against the railroads on the rate question, and they alone reap the benefits. Such being the case, the issue of doing the greatest good for the greatest nun her" is entirely eliminated sndthe mater resolves itself into "'cless legislation" for a select few.
 Railroad rates have been kept down, ard yet can you explain why l pay more for my butter, eggs. meat. coffee. tea, veget- ahles. chickens. bread. lumber. coal. etc. and alI~this coming on while railroads are hauling this same stuff at tariff rates as en- forced by the corporation con- IT ission? Take your own town. Shawnee, for instance: Tariff re- 1uced 83 cents per ton on coal from McAlester fields to Shawnee lumber reduction a two hundred mile haul from-points in the state 10 your town from $57, to $27. 60. Can YOU. now buy it any cheaper. and do you put it up to the rail- roads because you cannot? These are questions that we as citizens and as employees of railroads, are asking today. and about two mil l ions more will he asking in the | lear future, in this state alone. |
 There are are twelve millions # people dependent upon us as of railroads, and we rave a right to ask for this in- ormation, and, while we are not II from Missouri" '" we are open o conviction if supported by acts.
 You must remember that there re other corporations besides and it will stand us in and to regulate them. even if hey are not public service corp rations.
 Admitting that railroads have cen high handed in the past; hey are regulated now. If you . ad a horse that had been vicious nd you broke hlm, would you buse him forever after for what 9 was before you got control yer him. We have got to live and must ave living wage to do it upon, nd you must show us that we are rong in going at it in this way to et a living wage. 3
