INCREMENT
MEASURED IN CROPS

The average value of farm land
throughout the United States in 1910,
aside from buildings, was $32.49 an
acre. according to the census. In 1916,
according to the Department of Agri-
culture, this value had grown to
$3.50. an increase Of 40 per cent.
Since the total value of farm lands,
aside from buildings, was returned in
1870 as $2S.475, 100000, the total in
crement since then must be more
than eleven billions. The total agri-
cultural wealth production in 1910 ac-
ccrdirg to the Department of Agri-
culture, was $S,49S.311,413. The en-
tire production of that year would not
even pay increase in land values for
the six years since then, to say moth
ing Of the inflated prices that pre-
vailed during the census year. And
it requires as much expenditure of
labor and capital to make the land
productive as it did in 1910. Is it any
wonder that farm tenantry is increas-
ing?

CAPITALISM WASTE

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion says in a report on it's research
into the financial workings of the
New Haven system, that it disclosed
one of the most glazing instances of
mal-administration revealed in all the
history of the American railroads"
A reasonable estimate of the loss of
the New Haven by reason alone of
waste and mismanagement," the
Commission places at an amount be
tween sixty million dollars and ninety
million dollars.
For many a year to come these
transactions are to be a drain upon
the New Haven's resources and the
employees are expected to do constant
ly increasing labor without CORE
spending increase in pay in order to
make up this "loot."

that where the well-to-do are con

concerned, The Journal would like
to see the same charity extended to
the children of common wage-slaves,
that's all.

WHAT GOOD CAN MONEY Do

professor of the University Of
Chicago has been given $1,000 to be
used within the next twelve months
in whatever way he may think best
to accomplish the greatest amount of
good.
Naturally the professor is puzzled.
Without making known his identity,
a special writer for the Chicago
Herald, William l.. Chenery, has put
the problem up to the readers of his
column. In presenting the matter Mr.
Chenery says that the professor is a
democrat, not in the party sense, but
in the proper meaning of that much
abused term. He already knows all
the opportunities that charity offers,
but also knows thta there must be
better ways of using the money. AS
Mr.. Chenery says:
ale does not aspire to do things
for people. He does wish to aid
in building up system that will
enable people to do things for
themselves. He wishes to release
new human abilities, to liberate
capacities which are being sub
merged under the stress of today"
After all, the professor is putting
the same question that Henry George
answered in his open letter to Pope
Leo Kill The question was, what
can the rich man do to improve the
condition of Iabor?" George reviewed,
in answer, all possible ways of spend
ing money philanthropically, such as
giving aims, building churches and
schools, establishing hospitals, build
ing model tenements, encouraging
science, helping emigration, selling or
renting land below the market price,
and beautifying the city. In each case
his unanswerable logic led him to the
same conclusion. None of these sug-
gestions touched the fundamental
cause of poverty and distress, monop-
olization of land. The result in each
case would consequently be to injure
some as much as others were helped.
So, in the end he could only say this
of what the rich man could do:
"He can dc nothing at all except
to use his strength for the aboIi-
ton of the great primary wrong
that robs men of their birthright.
The justice of God laughs at the
attempts of men to substitute any
thing else for It,"

HOW THE MINERS
WON THEIR FIGHT

By forcing the greatest financial
interest in America to yield after a
strike seemed unavoidable, President
John P. White of the United Mine
Workers has abtoined concessions for
the 10000 anthracite mine workers
that would not have been dreamt of
a few years ago.
White did it by throwing down the
gauntlet to the operators at a final
conference and placing squarely on
their shoulders the responsibility for
the national disaster that a long and
bitter strike would mean at this time
He made them see it in terms of hui
man misery, civil disorder bitterness
and property loss.
Knowing that more than 100000
union miners stood solidly behind
White and the district officers with
him, ready to fight for their just de-
mands, the operators yielded, and
peace is assured in the anthracite
field for the next four years under
better conditions than the miners ever
knew before.
The hours of 10000 men are re-
duced from nine to eight, and the
shorter workday is established for all
time in the anthracite field. Contract
miners, already the highest paid men
in the field, receive 7 per cent in
crease, while the 10000 day men get
per cent increase in addition to
the same pay for eight formerly re
ceived for nine hours. Figured on an
hourly basis, this is equivalent to a
1872 per cent increase for the vast
majority Of mine workers.
Even more important in its final
effect is the recognition accorded for
the first time to the United Mine
Workers of America. The agreement
is signed in the name of that organ
i2ation, where in previous years the
operators refused to admit that it had
any tAlSlFlitt' ne llSul VI lOuIlteH
years to establish real collective bar
gaining in the anthracite field is won
at last, and the operators have aban-
doned for all time the theory that they
and they alone have anything to say
about wages and working conditions.
During the negotiations there was Il
striking demonstration of the power
of strong union to wiring a square
deal from newspapers and the bust.
ness community. The United Mine
Workers had the respect goodwill
and support of practically every ele.
ment in the anthracite district, with
its nearly 100000 population Lead
ing papers of Wilkes Barre, Scranton
and other big towns in the district
urged union recognition and con
demned the operators for rejecting
the demands. thus contributing to the
final favorable result.
Following the victories gained by
the United Mine Workers in both the
bituminous and anthracite field, this
great organization is assured of still
further growth in numbers and power,
and is today immeasurably stronger
than ever before.

THE SAME OLD STORY

The claim by the railroads that it
would cost $1OO,OOO,OOO to grant the
freight train crews an eight-hour day
is history repeating itself
The same arguments and the identi-
cal figures were used in the past
whenever any movement tending
toward the safety of employees was
proposed
When the air brake law was pend
ing the officials claimed it would cost
the roads $10O,0OO,O0O to put it into
effect. When the patent safety coupler
was first proposed, again the rail
roads stated it would cost one hundred
million. When the movement in favor
of electric headlights was under way,
once more they said it would cost a
hundred million
These figures of 100000 seem
10 be like the laws of the Modes and
Persians: fixed and Interchangeable.
Those who care to go into the his
tory of the adoption of practically
every safety device on modern rail
roads will find that they were uni
versally opposed by the officials and
that the same line of arguments were
used against every single safety APP
pliance that are now being used
against giving the employees an eight
hour day.
