Administrations. The determining
issues of the next four years will
be the trusts and tariff and on
neither one has Wilson proclaimed
himself progressive. He has been
very emphatic in his desire to pro-
mote competition by strict en-
forcement of an amended Sherman
law. In this respect he will be able
to do little more than Taft has
dom. The futility of splitting up
the trusts will become more and
more apparent in the next four
ars. The latest decision declaring
he Hartman merger of the South
ern Pacific and Union Pacific illegal
will leave thu common people cold
and Indifferent though Taft and
Wickersham are patting themselves
on the back for great victory. The
public does not believe that the re-
hottest advantage will accrue to
them.
In commenting on the opinion Of
the Supreme Court, Samuel 0. Dunn
editor of the Railway Age Gazette,
said:
"The decision cannot do any good;
it cannot cause competition in rates
because competition in rates was kill
ed when the laws required that all
rates should b. published and gave
the interstate and state com.n ssion-
ers power to fix them 1t will not
stimulate competition in service, be-
cause there already is competition
in this respect between the Harri-
man lines, the Sante Fe, the Gould
lines. the Chicago. Milwaukee and
st. Paul, the Hill lines and the
Canadian roads, and the separation
of the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific can hardly increase it.
1.-THE decision will tend to increase
the operating expenses of the roads
directly affected by destroying the
remarkably efficient operating Or
ganization which has owed much of
it's effectiveness to the fact that it
has directed aid co-ordinated the
operations of 1900 miles of rail
way.
The economic opinion Of the
world is unanimously against at
=tempts to compel railroad COMPETE
ton, and the United States is the
only civilized country where such
attempts continue to be made"
Wilson will find that he cannot
establish his progressiveism by his
progrsm of enforce d competition.
The severest and most paternalistic
regulation by commission alone will
satisfy the people, short of govern
ment ownership. And Wilson does
MOI believe in commissions.
When Inc tackles the tariff his
trials and tribulations will com
mence in earnest. The people are
disguised with all the dilly dalying
and .temporizing of the past and
want immediate radical action. Now
it may be the part of wisdom to go
slow aud mot disturb conditions.
But the public wants conditions
disturbed" That has been the
trouble all these years for condi-
tions have not been unsettled ex
cept upon the deliberate maniputa
ton of the money powers. 1t is
very evident that big business is
satisfied that it has nothing to fear

from Wilson. Some thing will have
to be done to appease the urgent de-
mands of the people but it is a safe
bet that they will not lick the mas
ters hand for the sop that is thrown
them. No, we insist, the Journal
to the contrary, that the public will
come to regard Wilson with all due
respect as level. headed, gentlman :
ly liberal conservative but he will
at no point arouse any great en-
thusiasm Or fanatical loyalty such
as many today feel toward Bryan,
Roosevelt and LaFollette. Wilson
wi | make Jan effort to revise the
tariff cautiously, graciously and
painlessly in accordance with his a
vowed intentions. Some real re-
auctions be expected. He will pro
badly commence more law suits and
prosecute them more vigorously than
TAFT. But the progressive public is
already Disguised with painless,
scientific revision which, if there
was ever anything in it, has been
discredited by Taft and with trust
prosecutions which add millions to
the dollar despots' exchequer. The
only sure test of effective progress
sive cunning will be groan and a
squeal from the dark cave of the
big business bear. But tender :
hearted ..Mr. Wilson could | never
persuade himself to make big bust
ness squeal, for it might disturb
conditions" To be sure he has
bagged a few bosses and has re-
ceived a liberal bounty OF applause,
for they are an acknowledged pest.
But the hunt for the big "protect
ed" game requires different equip
meut and bigger gun. Popping a.
way at vermin may scare the prize
game but the aim of the sportsman
is not TO scare but to scar and bring
down his quarry. 1t is safe to say
that the big game hunting will be
even better four years from now
than it is today for under undisturb'
ed conditions it will.propagst itselI

SILK .WEAVER'S STRIKE.
Five Thousand Skilled Workers in Patterson NJ j. Con
Quoting a Unique Labor War Without Violence.

PATTERSON, N. while public
attention is centered on the Lawrence
strike a walk-out of radically diff
ferent character took place at Pater-
son. Quietly, but determinedly,
without blare of trumpet or beat of
drum, 5000 silk weavers, the back
bone of Americas premier silk city,
peacefully stopped work. Disdain-
ing picketing and too enlightened for
rioting, they have abandoned the
usual strike methods of organized la
Dor and do not ask even for recogni-
ton of their union or for closed
shops They are skilled workers
and the Patterson mills are a close
preserve where an unwritten eXclu-
sion law is more powerful than any
unionism.
Federal returns show the average
weekly wage to be $12.38 for men
and 81 for women. The specific
demand of the weavers is for a gem
eral increase, but the real cause of
the strike, now a month old, was the
underlying fear of the introduction
of the four-lOom system, which re-
