GREED DID 1T

What was the matter with the
steamship Eastland, which rolled over
in the Chicago river with the loss of
more than 1000 lives, is revealed in
the correspondence between the gen.
eral manager of the company operat-
ing the vessel and Secretary of Com
merce Redfield more than a month
ago.
Discussing the provisions of the La
Toilette law, which does not take ef-
feet until next November, the man
ager insisted that obedience on his
part would decrease the revenues of
the boat 40 per cent and add consider
ably to the expense. In reply the
Secretary said that he had no option
but to enforce the law after it be-
came effective; yet he did not fail to
warn the steamship manager that by
taking advantage of existing law in
the mean time he was needlessly en-
dangering the lives of the passen-
gers.
What the owners of the Eastland
did was to seize every dollar from
a holiday crowd that was permissi-
BILE under the present regulations.
They assumed the risk, knowing it
to be a risk, for the sake of profit
alone. Under the La Toilette law
providing for life-saving apparatus tEe
Eastland's passengers would have
been reduced to more than one-third.
In that case it is probable that there
would have been no such overcrowd-
ing as that which caused the boat to
capsize at its dock.
If the disaster had happened in
mid-lake the toll of death would have
been much greater. There were at
least $50 persons abroad, and there
were life boats and RATS for only III.
Greed took every chance permitted
by loose law loosely enforced. ALI
the inquests, investigations and trials
that are to follow will point to moth
ing but greed that gambled with hui
man life.-New York World.

Letters found by the United States

BILE for the Denver Post. These dis
close that the Post was paid $4,000
