SUNDAY To Be
PATRIOTIC DAY
President Calls on People
To Observe Day With
Red Gross Donations.

Washington, D. C., June 2S.-Pa-
triotic Sunday is to be observed next
Sunday in all Sunday schools of the
United States in response to an appeal
by president Wilson TO observe the
day by generous giving to the Red
Cross
President Wilson's letter follows:
To the officers. teachers and schol-
ars of the Sunday schools of the
United States Of America:
THE present insistent call of our
beloved country must be heard and
answered by every citizen of the
United States in proportion to his or
her ability to maintain the national
power and honor. Many citizens will
render their aid by force OF arms on
the battlefield, while others viii make
the nation strong by their patriotic
gifts and support 10 the common
cause. It is therefore highly fitting
that the Sunday schools of the nation
should observe a special patriotic day,
and on this occasion should make a
special contribution to the American
Red Cross for the alienation OF the
suffering entailed by the prosecution
of the present war It is my earnest
hope that your generosity may be IN
stinted in this. the hour of the ma
tons need, and that this special day
may mean much to YOU in the under
taking of the cause for which our
beloved land now contends.

RATES AND RAIDS

RATES AND RAIDS.-On the
plea that the eight hour law for rail-
road workers will increase operating
expenses the companies are demand
ing a 10 per cent increase in freight
rates.
The new law hasn't gone into
effect yet, but they want the rates
hoisted now. Nobody knows how
much operating expenses will be in
creased, ii at all. That makes no
difference. Give us our Is per cent
advance and give it quickly.
Fifteen per cent increase in freight
rates will be 80 per cent increase in
the cost Of living by the time it gets
to the tables and weekly bills of the
workers and producers.
That would mean that the railroad
workers would have to ask for an
other increase in wages, otherwise
they would be worse off than before.
Whereupon the railroad companies
would pry up rates again and repeat
the old situation.
This kind of thing has already
happened twice in our history and is
likely to happen again and again.
Every increase Of wages in either
the railroad or coal industry (having
about the same ownership is follow

prices to the public.

When these come to be examined
for Implications it appears that 40
per cent OF our railroad stock is in
the hands of two groups Of finanCiers
in New York city, who own or con-
troll two-thirds of our important mile
age.
1t is for their benefit that freight
rates are to be increased again. Not
directly for the sake of increased
dividends but for the sake of opera
lions in railroad securities, which
furnish the greater part of their
profits.
We give and give to these influ-
ences, tribute upon tribute. Wouldn't
it be reasonable to ask now and then
what we ever get from them?
