all that that implies.
A list of the banks, trust companies,
Insurance concerns and railroad and
industrial corporations owned or con-
trolled by Morgan shows a total of
more than 10000, o00. 900 in resources.
With these back of him Morgan, it is
felt certain in financial circles, can
do about as he pleases with the
finances of the country, no matter
what monetary legislation is enacted
by congress, and there is general
feeling of wonderment in Wall street
as to where the aged flnancier is 60
ing to get off. It is known that his
recent activity in assuming control OF
the big banks. trust companies and
insurance companies is all part of one
general plan that was decided on by
Morgan and his advisers following the
panic of 1907.

RAILROAD MEN PROTEST
Object to Proposed Changes in
Laws Affecting Carriers.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The presidents
Of six of the biggest railroad systems
in the country called on President
Taft and asked him to postpone his
demand for amendments to the Sher-
man antitrust law and the rate law.
The president refused to do so, yet
announced later that instead of send
ing in one message on Wednesday,,
as originally planned, he would divide
the message, sending in one section
Thursday and the other Friday.
The general opinion here is that the
railroad men were rebufed. Special
interest attached to the meeting be-
cause it was the first attempt made
by the captains of industry to inter-
fere with the Taft legislative pro-
gramme.
> The railroad men filed a blanket
objection to the entire railroad legis-
lative plan of the president. They
said that the country was enjoying a
period of rare prosperity in spite of
the complaint of high cost of living.
Crops were good, the factories were
humming and the railroads were haul
ing great quantities of freight, all Of
which meant national prosperity. It
would be fatal mistake, they argued.
to change this by asking for radical
legislation.

THE TELEGRAM FAIR TO
TOILERS OF TWIN PORTS

In these days of the subsidized
daily press it is refreshing to be
enabled to peruse one up-to-date
daily that does not carry the ball
and chain of allied capital-that
does not wear the golden shackles
Of Wall street dangling from the
pencils Of it's editorial force.
Such paper is the Superior
Telegram published across the
bay in the other half of the Twin
Ports.
The Telegram is broad enough
in it's editorial management to
print both sides Of the labor ques-
ton and is not afraid to give the
workers Of the Twin Ports full
need of credit that is due them.
When comparison is made with
the attitude Of Duluth dailies. in
this respect the Telegram stands
out as eminently deserving of the
patronage Of working men in gen.
eral and union workers in partic.
ular.
The foreign news service Of the
Telegram each day contains news
Of labor interest that the spbsi:
died press in this section dare moi
print. The Telegram is essential
" a workingman s daily and the
j.. workers of the Twin Ports shoulc
support it as such. >>S i. III II

TRUTH, OF NECESSITY
Barred, is HIDEOUS

They own us, these task mas
tiers Of ours; they own our
homes; they own our legislators.
We cannot escape from them.
There is no redress. We are told
we can defeat them at the ballot
box. They own the ballot box.
We are told that we must look
to the courts for redress; they
own the courts.
We know them for what they
are-ruffians in politics, ruffians
in finance; ruffians in law; ruff
ians in trade, bribers, swindlers
and tricksters. No outrage too
great to daunt them, no petty
larceny too, small to shame
them; despoiling a government
treasury of million dollars, yet
picking the pockets of farm
hand of the price of h loaf of
bread.
They swindle a nation of hum
dred million and call it finance,
they levy blackmail and call it
commerce; they corrupt a legisla-
.ture and call it politics: they
bride Judge and call it law;
they hire blacklegs to carry out
= their plans and call it organiza-
ton: the prostitute the honor of
a state and call it competition

fare of the workers, is the best
indication Of the kind Of court
construction that the. anti-Sher-
man trust law receives, declares
Raymond Robins, who has become
we'll known as the result of his
efforts in behalf Of labor. = -
The inconsistency of the inter-
probation put upon the law is
clearly evident > The la Dor union
today is the biggest curb on the
trust. 1t insures the workers at
least little in the way of wages,
1t helps the toiler to secure at
least a petty livelihood from the
profits of his employer.
"This decision puts in the hands
of the employer the right to at
tach the property Of the individual
unionist and secure damages
therefrom. It puts into the hands
of organized capital the right to
put labor unions out Of existence
wherever it desires to do so, In
this respect it is similar to the
Taft Vale railway case in Eng
land.'

SCALES FALL FROM EYES
or WALL STREET ORGAN

The Wall Street Journal, as it's
name implies, is no labor organ.
But it has a piece of labor news
that is we'll worth reprinting. In
speaking of the high cost Of liv-
ing the journal says:
"An investigation under the
auspices Of the Sage Foundation,
made in New York this year, dealt
with the household budgets of 318
representative families Of working
people, reporting incomes varying
from $500 to $1,1O0. Less than
half these families were supported
by the income of the father. Above
! the $500 limit, in the majority of
cases, mothers or fchildren were
contributors.
It was the conclusion of the ex-
pert investigators than an income
under $500 is not enough to per-
NIT the maintenance Of normal
standard of living for an average
family of five. In the 5000 and
$500 groups, almost without ex-
ception. some deficiency in living
was found.
In three-fifths of the number
the housing accommodations av-
eraged one and half persons to
room. In one-ialf of the 5000
group and in one-third of the $500
group fuel was gathered on the
street. 'One-third of the 5000
group stinted their members to
less than the minimum allowance
Of 81 cents per person for food.
In the 500 group 80 per cent
were reduced to or below the
minimum. These families did not
average an annual expenditure of
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1910-03-12

$40 for health, and only one in ten
of the lower group and one in six
Of the $500 class had a cent to
spend in the care Of teeth. Ex-
penditure for church, for amuse-
ment and recreation was reduced
to nil, and provision for the fu-
ture was impossible.
"These figures need no COM
ment. They are the common STORY
Of poverty. But it needs to be
borne in mind that impoverish.
ment is not simply of the present
generation. It is an inlpoverish-
ment Of the race, of the rising gen.
GRAFTON, who are to be the produc-
tive forces Of the future.
According to these investigat-
ors, whose opinions have been con.
firmed by others, family income
Of from $500 to 5000 may provide
the necessities, but it is not until
the $500 point is reached that a
decent living is attainable. .
A large proportion Of the pop.
ulation of the United States is
now unable to reach the $500 linn
it. Every advance in prices in.
creases that number. If the ad:
vance Of prices continues the al
tentative is inevitable that wage.
and income must be increased 0,
family life and the home, which
constitute the cornerstone Of SO
ciety, must be sacrificed. ~"

of living =. ,:.:,.- =. =.

CITY'S NEW SEALER HAS
MANY EYES UPON HIM

Duluth has new. sealer of
weights and measures.
George E. Duren was named as
such last Monday night by Mayor
Cullum and his choice was approx
ed by the city council.
Duluth has long needed live
man in this position and the eyes
Of many will be on the new ap-
pointee to see that he faithfully
performs the trust imposed on
him.
Report says that there is great
work cut out for a fearless man
here in Duluth along the line Of
investi cation of weights and meas
uers.
Many grocers and butchers are
charged with habitually giving
short weight
Short measure in feed stores
and in green produce is also al
legged. Many complain that that
last ton of coal they bought lasted
a suspiciously short time and came
in a suspiciously short package.
It is up to Mr.. Duren to see if
these charges are true and to set
things right if they are:
He must be fair to all and in
Inundated by none.
In that way and that way alone
will he justify the wisdom Of
Mayor Cullum's choice.
Never was there a time in Du-
uth' s history when officials with
backbone enough to protect the
people from robbery were more
needed.
Mr.. Duren can make a record
for himself in his department as
has Milk Inspector Luxon in his
by making the grafters, big and
little, toe the line and give the
people a nickel's worth for five
cents.
Like the police and health de-
oartments the office of sealer of
weights and measures should be
kept beyond the reach of politi-
clans and grafters.
