Visitors Come to Study Rate Laws.
Wisconsin is the mecca of ratema-
kers from all over the United States,
who wish to learn how it is that the
Badger state has solved the problem
of regulating the corporations in a
manner satisfactory to both the pub
lie and the corporations. Californians
and Kansas experts are among the Ia
test to come to Wisconsin for ideas,
and now that Illinois has copied the
Wisconsin law it seems likely that
that state will also have delegation
here soon to see how Wisconsin's rate
commission operates.
Attention of these other state
boards was called to the Wisconsin
rate regulation system especially by
declarations Of the members of the
Badger board that when President
Theodore N. Vail of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company,
which controls the Bell Telephone and
Western Union Telegraph companies,
in his annual report advocated corpo-
ration regulation by state govern
mental authorities he was advocating
exactly the system now in use in Wis
consin. The fact that Wisconsin's rate
laws, known for years as satisfactory
to the public, had proved So fair from
the corporation standpoint also as to
cause the head of great corporation
to declare in favor of such regulation
everywhere, has been largely respon-
sib1e for the renewed interest Of rate
makers of other states on the Wiscon-
sin railroad commission and public
utility laws.

HIS INTENTIONS WERE GOOD.
BUT


Vice President Olinger, of the Trades
Council isn't the only married man
who keenly remembers the omission in
the marriage vow of the one little word
"obey." There's a good story of how
he tried to remedy that fatal omission
and almost got away with It, Mrs.
Olinger was one of two ladies who were
obligated in the council Friday night
as delegates from the Label league. Mr..
Olinger administered the obligation
and after the usual VOWS had been re-
peated by the ladies, he instructed them
TO repeat after him the balance of the
obligation. It wasn't in the ritual. but
1T went something like this: "You here
by solemnly promise and swear that
your husbands will shall reign supreme
in your home" Not sensing for mo.
ment what was being "put over on
them" the ladies started repeating the
words, but We're brought to by the
broad grin which the president failed to
keep out of his eountenanee. President
Olinger is regretting that he didn't wear
a mask and another hubby is accusing
him Of being a quitter. Curtain.

The nation is shocked at the terrible
holocaust in New York city in which
one hundred and forty odd women and
girls met an awful death. The press of
that CITY unite in condemning the re
sponsible parties and clamor loudly
for investigation and punishment. 1t
is a noteworthy thing that no cutlery
was raised prior to the holocaust al
though hundreds of buildings in which
human beings were employed were the
same damnable death traps. The au-
thorities whose business it was to see
that they We're equipped with fire es-
capes, free exits, and all the necessary
means of safety, apparently gave the
owners clean bills as reports from time
to time indicated that they were safe.
1t was so before the Iriquois fire in
Chicago Building regulations there
We're in plenty but if regulations inter
fered with profits a way was found to
get around them. Human lives were
the penalty paid for the criminal neg
ligence of authorities and owners, and
the thoughtlessness of the public. All
over the country now a virtuous spasm
will seize the authorities and building
regulations will be made effective
until we forget But they cannot give
back the lives of those factory work
ers who We're MURDERED by lust
for profits; the empty chair by the
table, the vacant place by the fireside
i'll remain to rebuke those whose only
law was GOLD. The catastrophe en-
phasizes again what trades unionism
is doing for the workers. In a union
factory it could not have happened be,
cause the union will not stand for such
conditions. The trade union movement
places human life above all other con
siderations. The life and health Of the
toilers is the actuating motive which
sends year after year the representa-
tive of labor to our legislative halls to
plead for legislation that shall mini
mize the loss of life and health The
trade unions of this country propose
to make ifpossible such holocausts as
that of last week, which brought death
to the workers and sorrow into count
less homes.
