EXPRESS COMPANIES EXTORTION.

The express companies of the United States pay
60 per cent Of their gross earnings to the railroads.
and of what is left after all expenses paid, they
declare dividends of IL per cent investment
that is principally water.
These startling facts have been brought out by
Attorney Frank Lyon, representing the Interstate
Commerce Commission at the hearing in prog
before the commission Here some Of the
charges against the express companies which Mr..
Lyon has undertaken to prove:
Extortionate and unequal rates; over-charges and
overwhelming; collecting at both ends inefficient
service; combination with railroads for the oppres-
sion of the public; usurpation of governmental bank
ing, and commercial functions; unreasonable
dividends
Here are the chief benefciaries of the express
monopoly, enumerated by Mr. Lyon j. Pierpont
Morgan. Henry G. Frick Cornelius Vanderbilt,
George F. Baker Jacob II. Schiff Charles NJ Pratt.
Hartman estate, B. P. Cheney estate, Lewis Cass
Ledyard.
That the railroads are gradually turning more
and more Of their business into the express COM
panies. which largely owned by the same men
who own the railroads over which they operate, is
indicated by figures gathered by Mr.. Lyon the
increase in percentage Of express business other
activities of the railroads. This table Of figures

freight, 1926; from passenger traffic, 1OS78; and
from mail, 1907. The population of the country
increased in the meantime only 1926 per cent
IL was also SHOWN ny MI. Lyon that the bulk OF
the express business OF the country in packages
on which the charges from fifty to seventy
cents, thereby proving that it is the small shipper
who is hardest hit The attorney further cited proof
OF exclusive contracts between the express and rail-
road companies, showing that before the former
could cut the" own "melons' they first had to turn
over 90 per cent of their entire gross revenue to
the railroad companies
William Savacoll attorney general of New Hamp-
sh1re, told the commission the American Express
company had obtained complete monopoly in his
state, having bought up all rival companies, and
that since this monopoly had been in effect there
mad been an increase of 100 per cent in rates.
Everybody who testified against the express CON-
panes-and among the witnesses were representa-
t1ves OF commercial and trade associations from all
over the countrywide of the monopoes the express
lines have obtained, and that there had been \
gradual increase OF rates. varying all the way from

WHY NOT APPLY IT I'm DULUTH?

Arthur Brisbane editor Of the New York Amer
lean delivered most creditable and courageous
address at meeting of the Real Estate Brokers of
New York city. The occasion for the address was
an attack made by another speaker on the Sullivan
Short bill now before the New York legislature
This bill aims to relieve congestion of population
IN New York city by reducing the tax rate on i'm
provements one half and proportionately increasing
the tax on land values. The bill was attacked by
certain Mr.. Levey "a stalking horse for the
single tax theory" The majority Of those present
either have thought that they have some interest
IN maintaining system that forces people to live
under disease-breeding conditions and consequently
appauded Mr.. Level. II firmly believe Mr. Bris-
bane said, and it is belief that is slowly growing
that the earth should be free the water and the
sunlight. We have abolished slavery-that is the
slavery OF the body but not the slavery of wages
and yet only a few years ago there were many in
tell1gent men who argued ably that slavery could
never be abolished As long as the earth REQUIRES
development the suggestion to take any of it is for
private ownership is preposterous
The single tax scheme is not going to become
the law OF the land just yet although Henry George
was the superior of all who criticize him. But as
long as the earth must be improved by human effort
the principles OF the single tax theory will continue
10 be discussed with more and more seriousness
You real estate men in the business of
developing the only real thing in the world in the
shape OF property. Any method therefore, that
lies in the direction Of letting people get it to de-
velop, whether by single tax or any other system.

alr. Brisbane certainly gave these real estate men
something to think about
Would it not be worth while to give such a
scheme trial in Duluth

ST. PAUL LABOR PAYS
TRIBUTE TO G. B. HOWLEY

At the meeting of the St. Paul
Trades and Labor assembly last Fri
day night the following testimonial to
the worth and tribute of respect for
the services and the momory of the
late George B. Howley was offered by
Delegate Quincy and unanimously
adopted by standing vote: ...s,.
'|Whereas, In the infinity of Divine
wisdom, our friend and brother,
George B. Howley, former president
of the Minnesota State Federation of
Labor, has been removed from per-
sonal companionship with us, and we
are thus deprived of his active aid in
our great work of improving condi-
tons for the hosts of men and women
who toll for livelihood; therefore be
it
Trades and Labor assembly of St..
Paul and the whole body of organ
lied labor in Minnesota have, suf-
fered the loss of one of their ablest,
most potent and most resourceful pro-
moters and defenders.
Resolved, That as president of the
State Federation of Labor for four
years he made record for efficiency
IN office and clearnesS OF vision, en-
ergy of action and straightforwardness
in the performance of duty that is
seldom equaled and has nowhere been
surpassed.
"Recolved, That, although his act
i've personal aid in our movement
has been taken from us, nothing can
remove the force of his high example
of zeal and industry for the welfare
of union labor or dim the memory
of his great services to it.
."Resloved, That while We recog-
nize the emptiness of all human con-
ISOLATION in hours of great bereave-
ment, our heartfelt sympathy goes
out to the stricken widow of our de-
parted brother and his surviving
friends in this time of their grievous
affliction, and we commend them to
the only source of comfort known to
mankind when death invades the
household.
Resolved, That a copy of this
preamble and these resolutions be
forwarded to the widow of the de-
ceased, and that they be sent to the
labor papers in the state for publica-
tion." -,-. ... E

patriots who endured hunger cold, heat, dangers
from foes abroad and lurking foes at home; who
suffered the lack OF almost all necessities, giving
their services often without pay, and holding on
till victory was won. In these great crises there
was no though of ':graft' or What can get out
OF it The only thought was to secure free and
happy country to posterity Could one the
illfed iltclothed furnished army of the colonists
struggling for day to make distance for which
an hour would now suffice, he could not look on
unmoved.
These men solved their problems in sincerity,
using their best Judgment with no selfish thought
1t is great heritage they have left u.s. Today there
are problems, serious questions that affect not only
the present generation but generations to come
Are we doing our part to help solve these problems?
What heritage are we leaving to posterity? Will
future generations be able to honor our memory as
we honor the memory Of those who came before us!
These the questins that should be suggested by
our commemoration of the birthdays Of Washington
and Lincoln.

JUDGE NOT, THAT YE
BE NOT JUDGED,
BY the Rev. Charles Stelzlc.

When the average man-on the
other side-thinks of organized labor,
his mind reverts to acts of lawless-
ness committed by members of trades
unions. When he thinks of corpora
tions, he recalls the acts of shame
done in the name of "big" business.
When he thinks Of the church, he
filings at you the weak or insincere
actions of a handful Of: men in his
tory or men in present-day life. And
it's always a cheap way of prais-
ing ones virtues, or the virtues Of
ones class. f-.= : ~. . ss?y SD,
il would stand out in condemnation
of the self-righteous critics Of their
fellowmen. Trades union and cor
poration and church have each been
guilty of enormous offenses, but each
may be proud OF prodigious endeavor
to make for the right and the true.
Just now organized labor is in the
crucible. 1t has been there before.
but it has never failed to come out
cleaner and purer. That's what a
crucible is for. The hotter the fire
the purer the gold. The discussion
Of the alleged evils in the trades
union is sure to result in a discus
sion Of the good, and the pointing out
of the weakness will unquestiona bly,
develop its points of strength. For
the men Of labor are no FOOLS. They
naturally resent the implication OF
weakness--for aren't they human? p
but they themselves are not so blind
but. what they see wherein they look.

A REFERENCE TO WOODED LANDS.

In the most friendly way possible. The Labor
World wishes to refer The Weekly Record to the
Virgin forests In other words usually considered
more iorceful than eloquent: 'back-up.'
This highly respectable newspaper wishes to call
the attention of Mr. Meningitis efficient board oil
editors from the chap with the periodical efusions
down to the humble office 'devil,' that The Labor
World was for the public ownership Of public service
corporations before the Record the light.
Last weeks edition Of the Record said: 1.-The
Labor World finally joined with us (referring to
the recent fight for the bonds) but we feel that it
has been our fight all the way through
While we have the highest respect for the plumed
crowd who are responsible for the other sheet, we
wish to register mild objection and call attention
to the fact that The Labor World in the fight
from the very beginning and that is just II years
ago.
The Labor World does not wish to parade it's
virtues any more than it wants to be considered a
martyr to the cause but if the Record suffered from
want Of business that suffering called forth long
drawn yelps of anguish.
BY it's attitude on the bonds, The Labor World
lost business too but while we needed it, were
glad to be able to maintain independence. 1t
was not the kind of business The Labor World was
looking for.
The Labor World is proud Of it's attitude and is
proud to have been instrumental in swinging the
election the right way The moral was worth all
the sacrifice it brought.
The Labor World is not complaining.

spond. May success attend the protest,

SABATH HITS AT THE ROOT.

Congressman SABBATH of Illinois deserves the
credit OF introducing the first bill in congress aim
ing at rational solution Of the cost Of living ques
tlon Mr.. SABBATH proposes to admit number of
food prducts free Of duty The proposition is so
sensible that there ought to be no doubt whatever
OF immediate passage of the bill. But while there
ought to be no doubt there is considerable, never
theless The average congressman has strong pre-
!udlce against taking the tax Off Of anything. The
more burdensome the tax, the more he hates to re-
peal it. If it not for this prejudice the high
cost of living, business depression and hard times
could have been ended long ago.

A SHORT SERMON ON
CAPTURING THE CHURCH
(By Rev Charles steizIe.)

10y Ncv SnarjeS oIcIZlS.)
When some working men denounce
the church because of it's supposed
lack of interest in their affairs, in
timating that if the church were to
fulfill it's duty in this respect, there
would be a decided change in their
economic condition, these working
men unconsciously pay the church
something of a tribute. The natural in
ference is that the church is really
a great factor in the social and in
dustrial life of the community.
Few thinking men will deny this
statement. If the church were to COM
nit herself to definite proposition,
there is no doubt that the thing would
come to pass.
There are many reasons why it is
not always possible to work out the
plans which are submitted by i'm
patient reformers. And, usually, these
reformers are outside the church, as
Stunning the position of dictators. They
seek to whip into line the men whom
they profess to scorn. Sometimes they
are men who have gotten out Of the
church because they felt that the
church moved too slowly. They seem
W LII 6CC Cuot Ill leaving CAC 1AoCACu-
ton they forfeited all right to de-
mand of the church those measures
for which they stand, for no man out
side the church has right to dictate
a policy for it's guidance, because the
church is purely voluntary organi-
cation. This must be s1f-evident.
The wiser and fairer thing to do
is to remain within the church., even
though it does not always follow
readily, and seek to mould the thought
and the life of those who have in
fluence and power. Why cannot the
God-fearing, man-loving Christian
workingmen capture the church? This
is altogether within the realm of pos
sibilities. Then they will be in a posi-
ton to say just what the church shall
stand for. Then they can make the
church whatever they choose.
