OPEN THE .

The people of Paterson have protested
against the proposed abandonment Of the Nor
ris canal. It has been pointed out that with
brought from the mines Of Pennsylvania to
tide-water at New York harbor, and Incl
dentalIy to all the cities along the line of the
canal, at a greatly reduced cost. It has been
shown that the railroads have deliberately
choked these artificial waterways so as to
force all transportation to railroad lines.
Captain W. G. Clark, who carried on an agi-
tation in this vicinity a year or w ago for
the adjustment of all tolls on the Delaware
and Raritan canal, had facts and figures to
prove the great advantage to be derived from
the free use Of the waterways across this state.
While the railroads ridiculed all this argu-
ment, claiming that this is an age Of fast
transportation, nevertheless the fact remains
properly operated in the interests Of the peo-
pie, there is good reason to believe coal could
be sold at tide-water for $4 to $3.50 a ton in
stead Of Sc and $3.50, and even 81, the prevail
EiASOo IL ooAAC PloOCo az F1OoOh1s
It is proposed to abandon the Morris canal,
giving the state which holds title a mere mess
of pottage in comparison to the true value
that this waterway would be to the people if
properly operated. Whether or not it is pos
sible now to undo the work Of destruction that
the railroads have accomplished during the
past few years while the people were indiffer-
ent, is hard to say. On the Pennsylvania side,
it is understood, the canal leading from the
Delaware into the mines has been filled up to
a large extent. 1t would be a good invest
ment, however, to have this redredged and
the whole waterway equipped with modern
boats, operated under modern conditions. 1t
is by such methods as these that the peo-
pie can overcome the grip of the coal trust and
get their coal, which is one of the necessities
of life, at a reasonable figure.
At the present time the railroads control the
coal mines and, by throttling the waterways,
are able to fix their own prices for transporta-
ton so that the people are entirely at their
mercy. This process has turned bankrupt
roads into vast m~oney-making systems. The
Lackawanna alone has been transformed until
it's stock today is sold at an enormous premi-
UNI on the markets, when any can be had. The
coal combination has been the making of the
Reading system. The same thing is true Of all
the other roads running into the Pennsylvania
coal regions.
Millions of dollars of watered stock have
been issued and large dividends must be paid.
In order to do this the people are gouged by
the high price of coal. 1t is time the law
makers, who have the power in their hands,
looked after the peoples interests in this re-
gard. No greater step toward reducing the
high cost of living could be taken than by per
manently "breaking'' coal trusts and opening
the waterways across the state of New Jersey
for the free transportation of boats of all
kinds.
