Proposed Modification OF
Existing Arrangements

A provisional modification Of an
arrangement which has existed for
many years has been reached between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, The Anglo-American Cable
Company and the Direct u. S. Cable
Company, under which the cable sys-
TENS Of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection
with each other, but operated and
maintained separately, will be oper-
ated in direct physical connection
with each other and with the Western
Union land system.
Two objects are to be attained by
this arrangements:
First, n,ors efficient and sconomi-
cal operation.
Second. the infroducfion Of neso
forms Of service to the odUantags OF
the public.

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo-A Amer
lean and the Direct u. s. companies
will bring the eight cables Of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll. The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy viii place
the Western Union in a position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open TO enable
the Western Union to make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services as it proposes to do. would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height of folly.
Duplication Of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at Z cost Of
many millions, when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction Of rates OF Introduction

committee appointed to make the in- vestigation has already gathered a great mass of information, and will meet in Chicago today for the pur- rose of completing the inquiry. It will be some weeks. probably, before the committee renders its report to the association.
 Three plans for remedial legislation are under consideration: Close reg ulation of express rates by the inter- state commerce commission; acquisi- tion and operation of express com ranies by the government; or, the establishment of a government parcels post. It is well understood that a parcels post system. if made broad enough, would practically drive the express companies out of business. So far as the members of the vari- ous state railway commissions have stated their views, there is a decided sentiment in favor of the utter abo- lition of the express companies as useful middlemen, if such a scheme were practical, some of the com missioners going so far as to de- scribe the express companies as "barnacles and parasites on the com merce of the nation" Most of the commissioners are agreed, however, that government ownership is the least satisfactory of the three plans proposed The recommendations to congress will comprise, it is thought, both the regulation of express com panies by the interstate commerce and the establishment of a parcels post.
 Public attention having been direct ed to the regulation of railways to such a large extent, it was only when the railway commissioners of the several states began to act in concert in demanding a reduction in express rates that the country began to understand the vast extent to which tribute is paid to the express companies. Shrewdly foreseeing the coming storm, the express companies several weeks ago began announc- ing reductions in rates, but it is no longer possible for them to escape their share of federal attention and regulation.

Exit the Monetary Commission.

The senate having voted almost
 unanimously to repeal the law which created the monetary commission, the senators have once again furnished
 evidence of their quickened sensitive
 ness to public opinion.
 i The monetary commission was the
 his retirement from the senate he re- mained chairman of the commission The Rhode Island senator conceived
 the idea of establishing great cen tral bank" by the government and the monetary commission was devised
 for the purpose of gathering inform
 ation from all parts of the world Iconcerning the operations of the vari- ous financial systems in force, the scope of authority given to govern ment banks in the different nations, and with this information. complete data concerning the banking business in the United States. It was the intention to lay before congress a Comprehensive report from the com
 mission, and then press the project of the central bank. The report of
 the commission will, when rendered, Undoubtedly provide a great fund of Ivaluable information concerning the lou na or the several nations. It should prove valuable to the lawmakers at Wash ington.
 But the idea of central bank, from being very popular in congress and with the bankers of the United States, has rapidly lost favor with fuller consideration. Bankers quite generally were willing to approve the scheme, on the representation that it would provide for them great bank of discount to be available in times of financial stress or panic. Some
 thing of the kind is needed, obviously.
 Its need is generally admitted. Presi-
 dent Taft, after careful investiga- tion of the proposition, gave it his hearty support. But when assertions gained circulation that the central
 bank scheme was designed to give control of the country's money supply to Wall street-that "Wall street"
 would control the government bank,
 public opinion, needless of explana- tions showing the fallacy of these hostile criticisms, rapidly crystalized into opposition to the whole project.
 A forceful argument, so far as the public was concerned, was found in the assertions that the proposed bank. If created, would become such another menace to the government as Presi- dent Jackson found in the govern ment bank of his day.
 The abolition of the monetary com mission, as voted by the senate, is la significant recognition of this pub lie opposition to the central bank; and in all probability the project will not
 be urged very seriously when con- gress meets again.

The More Conservative Labor Unions

Two national conventions of rep resentatives of union labor-the ln- ternational Typographical Union. at San Francisco, and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, at Nor folk Virginia-this week will serve to bring to public notice the policies Of the two most conservative of the several great branches of organized labor in the United States.
 Tbe printers and the engineers un- doubtedly are the most conservative of the great organizations. A strike by the members of either organiza- ton is extremely rare. Both organi- zations stand squarely for the union principle, but also for a fair, square presentation of grievances for the consideration of employers and for :he arbitration of differences, and for strikes only as a last resort. The actions of hot-headed members of these organizations have at times brought on friction here and there, but the broad policies of the organi- zations themselves emphasize their conservatism.
 No doubt it is because printers and engineers are educated men, that their unions are seldom in trouble with employers-the history of labor disturbances has made notable the fact that the organizations in which there is the lowest average of edu- cation are the organizations in which the strike is the favorite remedy for grievances.
 The Republican is firm believer in the union principle, while disap- proving the extreme attitude of the most radical advocates of the closed shop" No person of unbiased mind can review the achievements of or ganized labor in the United States without conceding that the unions have been of immense value to the ldbOrer. It IS almost WILDLY uuS eo organized labor that laws have been enacted in various states prohibiting the employment of children in fac tories; that conditions have been made more tolerable for women workers; that the workday has been shortened, and wages increased; and that laws have been enacted to abolish foul, unsanitary workshops.
 It was with appreciation of these facts that The Republican, last fall, interposed its veto to proposal that the various printing houses in Phoe- nix should sever their relations with the union printers.

Again a Question of the Future

Aqain a Question of the Future.
 It being settled that the president will veto the statehood resolution now before him, interest in Arizona has shifted to the two remaining ques- tions: What MT. Taft will say, and whether congress at this session will pass a bill or resolution to conform to the presidents views and thus let the territories in.
 The forecasts of the veto message all say that MT. Taft will state his ideas in vigorous language. It will be rather difficult for the message to contain any elements of surprise, however, as MT. Taft clearly ex- pressed his sentiments to the people of Arizona and New Mexico in his trip through the territories two years ago.
 Whether congress will pass another resolution or bill at this session is very problematical. All the senators and representatives are anxious to get away from Washington, and the final adjournment will take place before many days. The necessary legislation can be put through the house, possibly, but the senate rules Cf Drocedure hermit such leiSurely action in that body that two or tnree senators can, if they wish. p,event further legislation on state hood at this session.
