unico que toman en- cuenta, para acep-

p~robacion de que ell presunto diputa-

revolucionaria.
Por ESQ Carrasco empezo diciendo:

-Pues fue listed muy valiente y
muy revoluciona~io-dijo n de los
diputados, en- tono de burla.
Lo hicieron general sin haber COM
batido nunca.
Luego exclama Carrascosa: Soy ge-

ha dicho que alguna vez he pretendido

thing very different. What it is | hope to be able
to make clear in the articles that will follow this and
i think you will agree before / thru that harsh
criticism of Russia by any American is ranky UNI
just and that what the real situation calls for is the
utmost sympathy but not word of blame
Beset by thousands difficulties and dangers

faced, all kinds of difficulties of which you in this
county have heard nor suspected nor dreamed,
Russia has kept on with the most amazing fortitude
and resolution, and when you to know the whole
story you will be filled with wonder that she has done
as well as she has.
None but very great people could have pulled out
of that hole.
But for today want to talk about our own country

The obligation on the part of
the utilities to pay their employees
a sufficient wage is primary OBJ
legation independent of the ques-
ton of profits or losses. The con-
stitutlon of the state of Washing
ton, article IL, section Is, re-
quires the legislature to pass laws
to esta blish reasonable maximum
rates of charges for the transpor-
tation of passengers and freight
and to correct abuses and prevent
discrimination in rates by rail-
roads and other common carriers.
The laws of 1911, chapter III,
establish a public service commits
sion with power to establish such
rates. The state has it within its
power to relieve utilities If the
return upon their investment is
insufficient. There is no law that
permits the utility to compel the
employee to contribute out of the
sum necessary to provide himself
a home, to educate his children,
and save something for his old
age, in order that the utility may
show a profit.

Eight hours is the proper stand
ard for a days work. Conductors
and motormen are now required
to work seven days each week. In
other employments six days suf-
flee. There is much more reason
for limiting the hours of employ
ment in the case of motormen and
conductors than in other indus
tries where the eight-hour stand
ard has already been established.
No vacations have been granted to
the employees of these companies,
neither have they been permitted
day in lieu of Sunday, or any
relief whatsoever from continuous
employment Work in many in
stances exceeds II hours per day.
