AN EFFORT TO ROB THE
PEOPLE.

= FGOfLE.
J. Mr.. NJ. w. Fisher, Editor of tn
e Enterprise:
1 Congress is about to decide, il
the session which opens Decembe
, 4, whether natural resources be
t longing to the people, and official
: ly valued at hundreds of millions
/, of dollars. shall or shall not b,
given away to certain special in
terests which are already rigl
enough. Unless the people take &
: hand the decision is sure to e
against them.
, The iniquitous Shields water
power bill has passed the Senate
1t makes a present Of the pubic
waterpowers on our navigable
streams to the waterpower inter
ests. The power thus handed over
without compensation is estimated
at sixty million horsepower, or
double the power of every kind
now used to run every Grain, troll
ley. factory, shop, mill, boat, mine,
and electric light in the United
States.
, While the grant is ostensibly
limited to fifty years, it is in fact
perpetual, because the conditions
under which the people might re-
gain control of their property are
made prohibitory, as even advo-
Gates of the bill frankly admit. In
practical effect a perpetual mo-
nopoly is given away for nothing.
This bill has also passed the
House. but in a different and bet
ter form. It is now in Confer
ence. We know from the state
ment of Senator Nelson on the
floor of the Senate that the friends
Of the waterpower interests ex-
pect to control the Conference. It
is worth noting, therefore, that
the Conferees from the Ho use and
Senate are now meeting, although
Congress does not Convene until
December 4.
A vigorous effort was made to
pass this indefensible raid or the
public property while pubic al
tention was fixed on the intcrna-
tiOnal crisis last winter. 1t faiie d
because editors of the country
came to the defense of the public
and the bill was postponed
until after election.
Another vicious measure is the
Myers bill. which does for water
powers on public lands what the
Shields bill does on navigable
streams. The two are cut from
the same piece of cloth, and have
the same interests behind them.
The Myers bill is on the Senate
and will be considered
early in the coming session.
These two bills give away pub
lie property to powerful monvp-
olists. That is bad enough, but
the oil land provisions Of the Phe-
Ian bill are even worse. This bill
will be taken up Immediately when
Congress convenes. 1t disposes of
vast areas of public oil lands on
terms unfair to the public. 1t is \
almost unbelievable. but this meas
ure actually gives away the fuel
Ill reserves Of the United States
Navy to claimants whom the Su-
preme Court recently declared to
have no legal rights whatever.
The efficiency of the Navy, our
first and most important line of
National defense, is to be sacri-
feed to the profits of the Standard

road interests, and few other

IN N. Y. STREET CAR STRIKE
Labor Union ofacials Still Claim
Neary 200, 900 Workers Are Out.
Some Disappointment.

NEW YORK, September 2s-Labor
union officials who attempted to or
ganize a general strike here and in
westchester county in sympathy with
the striking street car men refused to-
day to admit defeat and still claimed
that nearly 100000 workers had quit.
They announced. however. that efforts
to call out others would be postponed
until Monday. when a meeting of the
local federated unions will be held to
consider what action shall be taken.
Hugh Frayne. chairman of the joint
labor conference committee which has
directed the endeavors to call out all
the trade unions, explained the post
ponement of further action by saying
that many of the unions had not had
time to consider the strike call.
The most serious disappointment
suffered by the labor chiefs was the
action yesterday of the allied building
trades with a membership of 100000
and the teamsters' union Of 10000 mem
bers in postponing decision on the
strike issue.
The strikers in trades outside the
street car men include about 10000
brewery workers and machinists.
