THE RAILROAD RATES
Manufacturers, Farmers, Shippers and
Commuters Manifest Interest In the

New York, June 1.-The fight for
and>against the increased freight rates
by the railroads Of the country is rap
idly taking on titantic proportions.
On the side Of the railroads are being
lined up the manufacturers of railway
materials, equipment and supplies, and
through them every person who draws
benefit from the sale or manufacture
OF materials used by the railroads and
all merchants who profit from the wage
earners of those so employed.
On the other side are the manu-
facturers, farmers and shippers gener-
ally. Injected into the fight are the
thousands of commuters who are en-
ragged by the announcement that all
communication rates are to be increased
to meet the increased pay rolls OF
the railroads.
The commuters first wanted to know
why they we're to be the goats" and
stand the burden for the wage increases.
Then came the announcement that
freight rates we're going up for the
same reason, and the commuters have
joined hands with the shippers to aid
the attorney general in his fight to
keep rates down.
The inevitable result is a conflict
that will interest every man, woman
and child in the United States. So far
the railroads have the worst of the
struggle, inasmuch as the increase OF
freight rates in the west has been en-
joined in the federal circuit court and
the eastern roads will probably be kept,
temporarily at least, from raising theirs.

ton in various parts of the country.
but especially in the south, will be one
of the subjects considered at the fiftlcth

The situation, as it exists in the
various southern states, has been
thoroughly canvassed by the officials OF
the association, and lengthy reports
will be made on each state at the con-
vention. The report will show that
there has been a decided improvement
from the brewers standpoint through
out the south.

The railroads have apparently de.
clared their intention to do as they
please and to continue doing it until
stopped either by the decisions OF the
courts upon existing statutes or the en-
actment of new legislation to restric,
their privileges. This is believed by
many to be the true meaning of the
general advance in light rates by
nearly II ra'lroauP. OF the y. .sec
States. II is recognizeu IN washington
as a,deClaration of war by the road,
against the public. 1t is not against
the government for the government i.
claimed to be in sympathy with the
railroads, nor against Congress, for
Congress has shown that the majority
in both houses is willing TO serve the
railroads. 1t is a declaration to the
public that it must submit To railroad
eXactions until it can control the gov
ernment and Congress and force legis
lation and governmental action for it:

ALEX ANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE i, 1910

THAT socialism is the greatest prob
lem Of the church and the nation was
emphasized by the United Presbyterian
assembly in its closing meeting Tues
day in Philadelphia. Rev. DIR. Charles
" Stelzie. head of the Presbyterian
labor reform movement, said that the
church is slowly, but surely, losing
ground among, the laboring classes,
that there are more open air meetings
held throughout the country By social
lists in one day than the church holds
IN two weeks. Continuing the reverend
gentleman said:
Thousands hope thaf>the dissolution
Of the labor unions will solve the prob
lem. But the trouble is not confined
70 those countries alone where labor
unions exist No country in Europe
of the world is free from the spirit OF
social unrest. The under dogs are 60
ing to fight for industrial democracy al
some time in the near future. 1t IS only
question Of who will rise up to leac
them. Cities are going to be the
dominating influence in the struggle
for they are giving the churches anc
the reform agencies no end OF trouble
that they cannot surmount. The labor
ing man in America goes through life
like lean. warped animal and has M
future, but his dismal old age TT
never smiles, because to him laughing
is lost art Can we preach hell fire
to these people? We cannot, because
they live in it and that is the very thing
they are trying to escape. The creates
Of marvels is that no worldwide in
surrection has started; the blind patience
OF these people is a wonder.
The substance of the above is learC
occasionally from representatives Q
other denominations. 1t is a noticeable
fact that the number Of working mel
who attendl most churches is becoming
smaller year by year. There must b'
some reason for this apart from thu
degeneracy of the age. The church, /
seems, should be the refuge of the veal
and heavy-laden of the world, blu
the class upon whom the Great Author
Of Christianity pronounced blessed
take but little interest in things spirit
uel. Why is this +? and to whose door
shall blame be placed

and boxed them off with consummate
skill. He swung his opponents around
