A LoNG-DIsTANcE ANNOUNCEMENT.

Chicago gets IS per cent of the net earnings Of
the street car lines of that town, amounting to big
slice of its municipal expenses annually.
Now tinkles in a long-distance telephone call
from the same Chicago announcing that the city
clerk has received check for $1e9,5sl from the
Chicago Telephone Company, being the ciy's share
Of the company's gross receipts for the first six
months of 1918.
Just little time back there was announcement of
general revision-downward- telephone rates in
Chicago.
To Washington people, paying about the highest
rates charged in any comparable city, these certainly
sound like long-distance calls, don't they'll

RAILROADS AND ANTITRUST ACT.

If there is any combination in this country that
is quite without excuse justification, economically
industraly financially in any other way it is that
one which has brought the water transportation OF
this continent under domination of the rail carriers
The water routes natural competitors of the rails
Free and untrammeled they constitute an important
guarantee that will not be perperated by the
railroads, and that uneconomic methods of transpor
tation will not be forced upon the public.
1t is the testimony Of all experts in transportation
that good deal of waste is injected into our trans
portaton methods because railroads have insisted on
taking business that tcouldhave been cheapy done
by the water routes. Water transportation is vastly
cheaper than that by rail. 1t ought to be encouraged
and promoted, and in recent years there has been
countrywide awakening to its importance. But while
the public has been talking the railroad interests have
been acting; they have been gathering in the financial
CONTROL the stock ownership of the steamship lines
that represent competition with the rails. They con-
troll very largely the terminals on rivers and salt
water alike, that are available for the Of water
carriers. Through their financial domination they are
able to prevent the substance Of real competition.
Out Of this condition arise such arbitrary acts as
that by which the railroads withdrew from Washing
ton and Baltimore the freight delivery service that
had been in effect for generation That service was
themselves. 1t was originally granted without doubt,
as means of taking business away from the water
carriers, which were then independent Of railroad
control. But in recent time the railroads have
come absolutely to dominate the water routes, and
therefore are able to protect themselves against the
possibility of real competition in that quarter Thus
fortified they now withdraw the delivery facilities
without reducing their rates, and the two cities must
pay the bills.
The announcement that, in retaliation, the busi-
ness interests will institute prosecution under the
Sherman law with view to sever the relations be-
tween railroads and ship lines, arouses wonder not
that such course is to be adopted, but that it
has not been adopted The situation has been
well known for years. The Governments own most
skilled investigators have laid the startling facts be-
fore the country. II is condition that prevails not
only as to the North Atlantic coast and the Chesa-
peake region but on all our coasts; from Maine to
Alaska on salt water and fresh; on Great Lakes and
the river systems the condition is found. The
antitrust act intended for just such conditions.
If the Administration will not act on its own initiative
then Congress should be appealed to for formal de-
mand that such action be taken.
