THE SUPREME AUTHORITY

It is noticeable that the very strong body of men who are members of the railway executives advisory committee is persuaded that the organization of the federal reserve banking system may, in general way, point to the remedial leg isation which, if it be secured, will en- able the railroads to obtain the funds they need and will put an end to the ap- prehensons of shippers and business men of increasing railroad congestion. The federal government should be, in the opinion of those who have given deep thought to this subject, the one master power over the railroads. It could ex- erclse that power through such machin- cry as, by way of comparison, it already employs to control the national banks through the machinery of the federal re- serve system, with the subordinate ma chfnery of the federal reserve district.
 The relation of the railway systems of the United States to preparedness. in the opinion of men competent to pass an opinion, is the most important factor in that work.

HEATING THANKS
TRADES ASSEMBLY
Honored on Occasion of A. F.
of L. Home Dedication
Writes Interesting Letter Of His Part
at Historical Ceremonies in..Wash-
ington City Last. Week

The following letter OF appreciation
from Congressman Edward Keating will
be of interest to the working people Of
Colorado:
Washington, D. c., July 8, 1916.
Thomas P. Rodgers, Secretary Protein,
Trades and Labor Assembly,
Box 372, Denver, Colorado.
My Dear Mr.. Rodgers:
1t afforded me genuine pleasure to ac-
cept the commission contained in your
letter of June rs. The same mail
of the State Federation of Labor of
Colorado asking me to represent that
body at the dedication exercises. In ad-
dition, President Gompers invited me to
attend as chairman of the Labor Group
in the House of Representatives. So
found myself on the platform in a three
fold capacity, and did my best to do
Justice to each.
The dedication of this great office
building. or labor temple, as President
Gompers prefers to call it, marks an
epoch in the progress of the American
labor movement. ! question if its full
significance is appreciated by all our
friends. As gazed at the building the
other day felt that it was a Gibraltar
erected BID the hands of the nations toll
to come it would prove a shelter in
times of stress, as well as a citadel in
which the hosts of labor might prepare
for their attacks on the entrenchments
of injustice and special privilege.
The labor movement is no longer a
tenant in the capital of the nation. It
owns its own home.
The Associated Press and other great
news agencies have undoubtedly carried
the story of the dedicatory exercises, in
Guiding the big parade and the speeches
of President Wilson, President Gompers
and Secretary of Labor Wilson. There
fore I will not burden you with a de-
scription of this event further than to
say that they We're sufficiently digni-
fled and impressive to be in keeping
with the occasion. I am having the
speeches placed in the Congressional
Record and I may have some extra copies
printed and forwarded to you for dis
tribution among your membership.
In conclusion permit me to request
you to convey to the members of the
Trades and Labor Assembly my deep
appreciation of the honor they did me
in asking me to represent them on this
historic occasion.
With best wishes I remain.
Yours sincerely,
EDWARD KEATING.
