Railroads, Strikes and Allegation.

The settlement this week OF the
big strike on the Sunset Central lines
gave relief at least for time, from
great public strain.
The strike had been planned on so
large a scale that IL promised to par
alize business throughout a vast in
dustrial region. The country is glad
that a settlement has come so soon,
but still there is left a feeling of
dread lest we may soon have a recur-
renee OF the same trouble.
There are labor agltators who live
off CT their fellows by fomenting
strife and W hen once they succeed in
winning a strike they are apt to very
soon look out for other lines on
which TO raise contention, so that
there Is no end to their activities.
There are many people who are
gratified whenever there is any com
plant against railroads. Such people
fail TO recognize that whatever Grip
pies the efficiency of railroads. brings
evil effects upon the country.
No country can develop and pros
per without transportation facilities
and unless railroads are permitted to
serve at living profit, they cannot
serve to advantage and therefore the
country Is loser.
Texas needs more railroads, but
the promoters will not care to build
them if they must carry the burden
Of strikes. damage suits and forfeit
ure court trials to clrcumscribe their
efforts and fleece them of their just
and fair earnings.

UNpERwooo's FATAL ADMISSION


In the opening debate on the tariff
bill Mr.. Underwood made the follow.
ing remarkable statements:
Il do not contend that increase Gin
the cost OF living) is entirely due 10
the high protective tariff system" he
continued. but IL is safe to say that
the main reason for the increase has
grown out OF taxation system which
aided only the large manufacturers
and the privileged classes.
We are reducing the tariff in the
interest Of the consumer and we ex.
pect him 20 get the benefits OF IL.
bur OF course We cannot say there
will be any immediate benefit 20 the
consumer"
Let IL be observed that Mr.. Under
wood does not promise a reduction in
the cost OF living as the immediate
result OF his tariff bill. For what rea-
son. then. is the tariff bill 10 he
passed? II direct and positive bcne-

and his associates have been feeding
