Embarrassed by Riches

Tight money has been a dead weight on stock market enthusiasm for several weeks. and it may remain so for some time to come-possibly until after the turn of the year. Under some circumstances money scarcity and high interest rates ;would be good grounds for feeling pam iclSy. In this case, however it is just the reverse. We are suffering from an Embarrassment of riches. It takes the |, lk of the spare money of the banks and trust companies to finance the enor- nous crops that have been raised and to pay for it's transportation from producer sn consumer. No such drain has ever reen made before upon the banking re- sources of the country. The pressure lon that account has deprived Wall street of the money required to carry on the bull campaign which every body expects. Re- taxation can hardly be looked for until after the grand distribution of interest and dividends on and about the first of January. To meet this demand the banks

 A Club and a Wedge

The report of the wage commission is at once a club and a wedge and organ ized labor identified with the utilities sys- tems will be slow to give employers a chance to invoke popular sympathy and cooperation for suppression of violent methods. The threat of MT. Stone during the acute stages of the earlier negotia- tons hy him on behalf of the engineers to starve out 100000 people if the de- nlands were not granted is not likely to be again repeated.
 The full import of the findings of the commission will be better understood by the general public and by spectators and investors as time goes on Both the rail- road men and leaders of organized labor dc not have to wait. They have already fully grasped it's significance. It is the first impressive move to secure legisla- tion placing capital and organized labor on an equality. Tyranny by railroads has been stopped through governmental action. In self defense. capital has or ganized nation wide movement to place organized labor under corresponding re- strictions Labor leaders will fight this move as a matter of self preservation. If 1t carries, they will be out of jobs and have to go to work iona living. Already the report is being denounced as an in- cipient conspiracy for the enslavement of labor,

STRONG PRECEDENT IN SETTLEMENT IF B|G WAGE DISPUTE Eastern Railroads and En-
 gineers Bring NeW Into the, Adjustment ! BALKAN WAR NEWS ) ES VERY CONFUSING General Opinion, However, Is That
 Peace Will Come and That Re-
 markabIe Prosperity Will 4 Soon Begin 
By ". c. NICHOLAS


 New York; November 30.--(Special.) )- The most important news development of the week was the report of the special commission appointed to settle the dispute between eastern railroads and their engi- neers. The adjustment of the wage de- mands was dwarfed into insignificance by the larger issue brought to the front a plan for permanent peace between capi- fal and labor employed in the conduct of general utilities, the country over. As yet the suggestion from this impressive quarter has had small stock market ef- feet, but as a powerful instrument for lasting harmony in the management of the chain of colossal industries it must Eventually be for the general enhance s1ent of the value of properties repre- scented by billions of capital and millions of working men.
 The report of the arbitration commits sion is regarded by railroads as dis 2 tinet victory. The increase in wages is not a high price to pay for the weapon Of defense fashioned and placed in their hands-the proposition to create federal ! and state wage commissions with arbi- trary powers to make and enforce terms of settlement of disputes.
 The essence of the report is it's unquali- fled stand that the public is a paramount factor at interest in such controversies and that it must be considered first that both railroads and their employees are servants of the public not its mas ters. The application of this principle ex- tends to all public utilities corporations, and logically takes in street car systems in cities, trolley systems as we'll as gas, electric and water eompanies-all com- panies whose creation and existence are by favor of the public for whose con- venience and service they were called into being. In accepting franchises, con- ferring upon them the right to do busi- ness, these companies go under pledge to give value received

People Will Defend Rights

Railroads for years lorded it over the public but were finally brought to see -the error of their ways. Organized la- boz fought the railroads to standstill and now that the railroads have their shands tied by regularly constituted com 'ntissiors the employees are charged with Throughout the entire struggle the rights of the public have been ignored or subord- inated-"the public be damned" as the late MT. William H. Vanderbilt said The . damned master is slowly coming around to realization of his rights and of his power to enforce them. Having brought tho railroads to terms it now remains to bring organized labor employed as an inseparable part of the utilities systems to terms.
 Organized labor has seen and felt this danger and realizes that the report of the arbitration commission is an entering wedge to discussion and action on an is- sue it wouAl like to delay or dodge. The issue is not a new one, but this is the first tinie the railroads have been able to get it before the law making powers as an authorized expression of a body claiming to represent the public The five outside commissioners felt a. keen sense of the duty they owed the public in this investigation, by refusing com pensaton for their five months of service on the board, though they might as well have pocketed s20,0o0 a piece. This ac- ton Is added dignity and impressiveness to the finding.
