A WAY TO FIGHT
INCREASE IN RATE
is BY INJUNCTION

An entirely new method of dealing
with Increases of rates by the rail
roads VIII be established If the De-
partment of Justice can maintain the
suit to enjoin rate increases which II
has brought in Missouri
Railroads are likely to find them
selves brought up hard against the
Sherman law at almost every turn,
provided the courts hold that IL
creases Of rates. proposed but not vet
In effect. can be enjoined, as Attor-
ney General Wickersham is now try
ing TO do in the case of the twenty
five Western roads in Western Trunk
Line territory.
1t is declared at the office of the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
high authority that in scores of cases,
perhaps hundreds Of them, increases
of rates have been made by agreement
between roads.
May Attack Agreements.
"If the Department Of Justice can
deal with the situation in the case of
the roads whose increases il is now
trying to enjoin." said one of the high
est officials of the commission, then
it will follow almost inevitably that
Il will be forced by the protests Of
shippers to attack other traffic agree
ments. I do not see how it can be
otherwise. AS a matter Of fact. the
increases Of rates are generally made
by agreement"
AS a matter Of fact. 1t is a nice legal
question whether an Injunction suit
can be maintained TO enjoin increases
of rates. This is admitted by able in
terstate commerce lawyers It is clear
the railroads are going to fight the
course of the Department Of Justice
TO the end. The war will be Waged
through TO a decision of the Supreme
Court.
This is not the first time the De-
pertment of Justice has had its at
tention directed to using this method
of cambating rate increases. Some
Six months ago. the matter was

Prompt Action Required.
Officials who have studied the matter
say il is probable that had the Depart
ment Of Justice waited until the in
creased rates OF the Western Trunk
Line committee went into effect, they
counld not have been enjOined under
the sherman law. All that could
have been done In case the rates
had become effective would have been

sCciatiOu or agreement. but the rates
themselves could probably not have been

The Interstate Commerce Commission
is looking for a flood OF complaints from
shippers on the strength Of the new
rates. But IL does not expect 10 take
these up until fall The commission Will
take a recess for the summer about the
middle Of this month. Ii will not re-
convene until some time in September.
From that time on, officials of the com
mission say. they will look for more

LOWER TARIFF; LOWER WAGE
"lf the Tariff Be Reduced We Cannot
Maintain the High Wage Rate
Now In Force"

IL the tariff be reduced we cannot
maintain the high wage rate now In
force. A lowering of the tariff would
invite an influx of foreign goods pro.
duced by cheap labor, and wages in
our country would have to go down
with the tariff as a matter of business
existence.-Mr. Frank A. Munsey, in
New York Herald
Mr.. Frank A. Munsey in that SEN
tence places American labor face to
race with the real meaning of the
tariff problem. His views as regards
this question are based on practical
experience, gained at considerable ex-
pense in the publication of a stagger-
ing number of newspapers and maga-
zines. For some time past it has been
a dull year indeed which has not seen
Mr.. Munsey found magazine or pur-
chase daily newspaper Already his
interests of this kind embrace a good
ly portion of the United States. and as
his activity shows no sign of waning
they may one day extend from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast and from
the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico
Mr.. Munsey as an employer of labor
is in a position to speak authorita-
lively regarding wages, his opinions
being based on first hand information,
and he will have rendered labor In the
United States an immense service if
he succeeds in opening it's eyes to the
fact that tinkering with the tariff is
In reality tinkering with wages. The
question to be answered is not, as Mr..
Munsey points out, whether protection
Is advantageous for this, that or the
other country, it is this: Are Ameri-
can labor organizations prepared to
accept the inevitable consequences of
radical downward revision of the tar
1fE One of these consequences, and
one that directly concerns labor, must
be reduction of wages. The aban-
comment, wholly or partially, by the
United States of the high protective
tariff principle would so stimulate for
eign competition with home industries
that American manufacturers to meet
1t would be forced to lower the pres
ent rate of wages. If they did not for
elgn competition would sweep them
out of existence, throwing labor out
of employment.
AS Mr.. Munsey says. If the tariff is
lowered, wages must be lowered. You
cannot have both high wages and a
lower tariff.

The Annual Free Trade Lie.

The Kansas City Star has been
claiming that the tariff on broom corn
was the cause of the high prices of
brooms. The Republicans have held
that 1t was a shortage of brooms. The
Star recently contained an article writ.
ten by one of its reporters saying that
the shortage OF broom corn last year
raised the price TO $3.50 per ton and
brooms to 40 and so cents each. But
big crop OF broom corn was now In

believe that as soon as the crop Is
ready for the market that broom corn
