upon the railroads for their living?
s.2AIl5.
| What Is the minimum number Of work
ers dependent for employment mainly
upon orders from NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
locomotive companies, car manufacturers.
ETC.?
More than 100000.
Multiplied by five-to-a-family. this
means7
Upward OF 100000.
Making the grand total OF persons sup
ported by the railways what?
Approximately l5.o0o.0O0 or one in every
seven Of the country's total population.
How much do the railroads pay to their
1.sfS.Ss5 employees in a year?
81. go G25, ,2S6
How many cents Of each dollar the rail-
roads spend do these employees receive in
wages?
Fully ~ cents OF each dollar.
How many cents of each dollar re-
ceived are paid for materials and sup
plies for all purposes?
About . cents.
Does labor get any considerable share
OF this?
The bulk of 1t goes into the pay en-
velopes of those who produced or manu-
factured these materials and supplies.

railroads during the year ended June 30,
1914?
p.oss 1885.
ings after paying operating expenses and
taxes?
S716, ,sSS,2 40.
Who are the greatest taxpayers in the
whole country?
The railroads.
How much did they pay last fiscal year?
SIC, ,l9l. $50
Are their tax Ievies increasing?
The increase this year over last was
81. SD. 402. or at the rate OF a million dol
lars more every month.
How do tax payments compare with
dividend payments?
Exact comparisons for 1914 are not
available. but in 1913 4.14 per cent was
paid in taxes and 4.92 per cent was
devoted to dividends and surplus com
bined. Conditions are much poorer
now.
The statement was recently made by ,
people that "as the re-
ceipts OF the railways are $4,000, 600 900 /
and as there are 2O.0oO.00O families in |
the United States, the average expendi-
ture per family for railway transpor-
tation is $3.50. or one-fourth OF its in
come" Is this so?
The person who INDUCED in that arith-
netic forgot to add that 5000 100000, or
100 for each family In the country. Is
,aId back by the railroads in wages ana
alone, to say nothing of taxes
n other respects the statement conveys
misleading notions.
How do railway freight rates In the
rnited States compare with those oI
ther countries? l.
American freight rates are the lowest
n the world.
How do the railroads spend each dol
ar they receive? What are the exact de-
ails?
The railway dollar Is spent thus, IL
rnts and fractions of cents.

New York coffin makers have won their strike for
higher wages and shorter work day. One of the
workers, commenting on the victory said: 1T must
be admitted that coffin making is not a cheerful occu-
patton, and no matter how much of an optimist a
man would be he would be bound to be discouraged
If he had to work from eleven to fourteen hours a
day at making collins for less than fair rate of
wages in these days when the cost of living is so
high. The living who are willing to work have as
good right to living wages as the dead have to a
decent funeral" All of which is incontrovertible
logic And while the price of coffns will probably
be advanced there will be no meetings of consumers
to protest.

A referendum of this kind would have seemed, a

The feminist movement is progressing rapidly in

college hazed of their classmates injuring her

told to go to temperance meeting in the tabernacle

When she refused she was taken to the attic of a
house in the town, her clothing stripped off and she
was beaten until the blood Iodine wa smeared
