Lincoln, Nebraska.-Evidence given
at the western railroad rate hearing
in Chicago shows that the well-man-
aged roads are doing very we'll. and
are making good returns upon their
capitalization. 1t is the poorly man
aged roads and the roads that have
been looted and bled to death. that
are IN financial straits Yet the demand
is Tor blanket increase in rates that
would affect all roads alike, both the
weak and the strong. In Justice. any
increase granted should be only to the
weak roads, the ones that are in bad
financial condition. But that raises
this further question; Should the peo-
pie be called upon to guarantee returns
to railroads that have been looted. If
the people through government
agency must guarantee profits to rail-
roads regardless of what their man
agement has been, it seems to us that
the people through the government
should have something to say about
who should manage the railroads.
This regulation business gets us in
deeper and deeper Surely it must
end ultimately in government owner

The Lucky Life Savers Gain

Washington.-Because a provision
in the new law creating the coast
guard escaped the eagle eye of con-
gressmen and senator's, all surfmen of
the old life-service will be retired on
three-quarter pay basis, which will
give them more money than they drew
whiie IN active service. The conptrol-
Ter OF the treasury has ruled that the
three- quarter retirement paw must be
calculated on a yearly basis. The
surtmen ordinarily worked but six to
eight months a year and were paid on
monthly basis only when they
worked. The comptroller says that
their retirement pay cannot be cal
Dculated under the law on the basis of
part OF the year but must be paid
on full II months.

IN MEMORIAM

To you, fair babes of Ludlow, who
gave up your lives on the alatr of in
dustrial freedom:
Ludlow has become the synonym
for tragedy On the 10Th of April.
1914, more than 20 women and chill
dren, went down to death among the
flames of FIRE and smoke while the
whiz of the leaden rain belched from
the machine guns of murder, chanted
the awful requiem over the dead bod
les of human beings that were sacri-
hced to appease the hatred of insati-
able greed. They did not die in vain,
for all over the bosom of the contin-
ent the story of the brutal slaughter
has been written into the memory Of
every man and woman whose hearts
beat for liberty, and the story of the
Ludlow massacre will remain indeli-
bly, engraved on the memory of labor
until the solidity of the working class
shall purple the horizon of the not
far distant future with the rosy dawn
of that coming civilizationwhere man.

breath of freedom and no master shall
dictate the amount.

A TRIBUTE TO A SMALL. BUT
HEROIC AND MIGHTY BAND
(By Samuel Lewis)

They did not wear the scarlet coat,
For blood and fire are red,
And Arson's blood was on their hands
When they found them with their
And poor dead people that they
And murdered in their bed.
-Paraphrased from "The Ballad of
Reading Coal"
The Twenty of the Mighty Soul
arose in the morning and looked to-
ward the coal-ribbed hills.
The April sun-the rising sun, the
warming sun--shone full in their wan.
tired and harassed faces
1t was a sun that smoothed the
care-lines from the foreheads of the
old and weary. 1t softened the work
worn, sweat-creased cheeks of the
middle-aged. 1t caressed the happy.
laughing faces of little children.
1t was the glorious sun of a new
day-April 20, 1914. - peeping its
promise over the hills of Ludlow
town.
1t played among the weather beat
en-, winter SCARED tents that these
people for seven months had called
home. 1t warmed the bodies of old
and young. 1t sent ambition and the
thrill of new life into aged and youth
full hearts. 1t breathed of coming
flowers; of summers green vigor, of
the springs beauties and pleasures.
God was good He had sent His
best to his children. 1t was for man
and man only, to mar the heavenly
splendor.
Before the day was done, all ordi-
nary things would be changed. Bright
day would be turned to darkest night.
Sunshine would become gloom.
Beauty would be sadness. Laughter
would drown in tears. The bugle-
blown "reveille" would be changed to
taps" for this courageous score.
The funeral dirge of eventide would
replace the joyful music of the morn
ing. The sun rising in promise for
the living would go down in benedic-
tion for the dead
