The following is taken from the
February issue Of the Rock Island En-
.ployes' magazine:
The mis-information Of the public
in regard to the truth concerning the
railway industry of the. United States
is very largely brought about by the
publication Of articles in newspapers
and maya mes which are either viii
fully distorted OF else distorted in ig-
nOrauce. The prominence given these
articles by periodicals and the speech
es and declarations along the same
lines made by demagOgic politicians
are no doubt aroused by similar mo
tivos-the politician hopes to secure
votes on the strength Of his attitude
Of Standing ZIP for tho rights of the
! dear pecple'-and the periodicals hope
. 20 extend circulation for the same rea-
. son.
Recently the Cosmopolitan magazine
printed an article entitled The Real
Reason for High Prices IN this arti-
Gle the writer again sought TO lay the
blame for high prices upon the rail
roads. and made the fat-foOted declar-
alton that most Of these great organ
izations referring 10 the railways of
the United Statesl are already paving
heavy dividends on watered stock, and
offered no evidence as to the truth Of
the statement The editor of the EN-
ployes magazine took the trouble 10
write the Cosmopolitan magazine in
regard TO this matter. and the cores
pondence reprinted below shows that
the editors of Cosmopolitan magazine
were unable or unwilling to present ev-
idence in substantiation Of their dec
larations.
The following correspondence
speaks for itself:
