Railroad Stocks and Congress.

| In the course Of his criticism of the pending
| railroad bills, Senator Lafoette INDUCED in
considerable argument that is beside the point
| He especially emphasized the prospect of all
increase in value Of railroad stocks in event of
the final passage of either the Cumnlns or
Esch bills.
Such an event may reasonably be expected,
and there is no good reason why it should not
be so. Investors in railroad securities are en-
titled to whatever protection just and equitable
laws can afford. Because capital has been EN-
ployed in the great transportation industry is
not reason why it should be outlawed. One
of the greatest causes Of so-called failure" Of
the railroads to meet the emergency in 1917
was the fact that capital could not be secured
wherewith to purchase equipment and make i'm
provements needed to take care of the business
When the government took over the lines, il
proceeded to make consultations and otherwise
rearrange the systems after fashion that was
prudent and business-like, to secure the most
efficient use of the lines and rolling stock as
existing But the government had rigid1y pro-
hibited the corporations from doing those very
things. Hundreds of millions of dollars from
the United States treasury went TO buy material
they could not get the means to buy, because
the restrictions placed by the government were
so strict that investors in railroad stocks and
bonds could not see the returns they sought.
Freight and passenger rates were horizotaly
increased from rs to 50 per cent, and a deficit
that already amounts to more than billion
dollars was saddled on the public funds.
Yet certain elements apprehend that fur
ther increase in transportation charges would
be forthcoming when the roads are turned back
to their owners. The added cost of operation
as we'll as the capital required for imperative
extensions and betterments demands this. But
this does not justify opposition to pending
measures because their passage will restore rail-
road stocks and bonds to public favor. Capital
employed is surely entitled to earn its wages,
just the same as labor. and no one questions
that railroad labor has benefited enormously by
reason Of government management of the rail-
roads. Why should not capital share in this?
Then, if investors prefer private to public own
ership should the plan suffer because it is more
likely to attract idle money? h.

One Way to Force Down Prices.

The president OF the American Woollen COM
pany has taken steps to force reduction in re-
tail prices at Lawrence, Mass Telling the local
dealers that 1T is useless to raise wages and
find the effect lost in an increasing cost of liv-
ing" he threatens that if reductions are not
made he will open retail store at which his
workmen may be supplied with all necessaries.
II am acting from a Christian point of view, y
he says. Now that he has set about it, we hope
he will keep on. After the happy workers in
the woollen mills at Lawrence have their wants
attended to, Mr.. Wood may get wider vista,
and note that some who buy the things he
makes are paying prices that looks as if they
were considerably inflated If he can thus be
induced to assist in bringing down the cost of
clothing, he will be setting example other
manufacturers will doubtless be glad to follow,
and in time this Christian view" will bear fruit
all along the line. 1t would be glorious
Christmas gift for the nation.

The game of basket ball calls for a
physical machine able to 20 at top
speed for two Commute periods of
keen action. During a three-month
season, one must not overdo. There
fore, the loss of weight calls for a
let up in daily practice.
First-Eat proper food. The mind
and body only react quickly when
not overburdened. Tasty or greasy
dishes as pork or fried potatoes
should not be eaten. Do away with
stimulants as coffee, tobacco, etc,
for the excitement of the game is
more than sufficient for heart action.
Never eat within three hours before
practice or game. A full stomach
causes sleepy reaction.
Second-Sleep and live regularly.
During the season, one needs steady
nerves and plenty of pep" You
need at least nine hours regular
sleep, 10 .. m. to 7 a. m. or better

Reply TO a Travelling Man

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 3.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: A few days ago !
read in your paper a copy Of tele-
gram sent to Woodrow Wilson by a
number Of travelling men in regard
tc the present situation, every word
of which heartily endorse.
l can imagine no greater calamity
than nation of jobless working
men, and Indications now point to
such condition. When our presi-
dent called for the aid Of every man
in the crisis Of the war. was he
ignored? No, because Americans
never fail in task of righteous
duty. Perhaps I am misinformed,
and our honored chief is not aware
of the suffering caused by a lack of
coal. Perhaps there is no such a
thing as the mine owners being
forced to comply with their en-
ployes' demands until this can be
settled to the satisfaction of all. And
again, 1t may be that our govern
ment admits its helplessness. Ger
taiHly one must not suffer needlessly,
and genuine effort should have some
reward.
1t seems to me that cooperation
Of the government with the people
and for the people instead of power
full individuals should lead to a safer
and more satisfied nation,

NSfandN nf Labor

Omaha, Dec. 5-To the Editor of
The Bee: It's reiterated everywhere
in the press that few miners, a.
small minority of half a million, are
in the attempt to hold up and impose
their wills on 100.000,00O.
This 100000 includes the
women and children of the land,
while the 100000 in question ex-
cludes these, which, If added to it
would make the number 100000
instead Of 100000. Add to these
100000 the number of those who
sympathize with them, practically
the whole ranks OF labor, and you
will have something like an equal
division of the nations population on
the side of the miners; and II the
miners are yet in the minority, they
surely constitute q very respectable
minority.
The present situation divides, the
people into two we'll defined camps;
the employers of labor on one side
and the employed on the other
Capital and Labor" This talk Of
small minority is purely the soph-
istry of capital and the press.
The labor side to the controversy
Is at this tremendous disadvantage,
that the entire press Is in the en-
ployers' camp. The press is itself an
extensive employer Of labor and its
entire advertising patronage is made
up of employers of labor; and even
though it were willing to give labor
an equal deal through its columns,
it dares not under penalty of losing
the patronage on which its very ex-
istence depends. So much is this true
that labor is left practically without
an impartial Judge and advocate
without printed voice to plead its
cause.
With handicap like this 1t surely
takes more than handful of miners
to make the stand that labor is max
ing and has made. It stands because
of the backing of the millions, not of
money, but Of men and women, be-
hind 1t. A. B. BROWN.

Omaha, Dec. ITO thb Editor of
The Bee: There has been quite a lot

as to publish cartoons on their
front pages of the miners refusing to
work and causing people to suffer.
That is no doubt true to a certain
extent. But we haven't noticed any
, pictures of how the miners have
lived, and their home conditions for
the last few years. Many a man has
kissed his wife and Riddles goodby in
the morning and on the way to the
mines he plans to work little hard
er the rest of that day so maybe
there will be a few dollars over on
pay day that is above the store bill
so as he can get some Of them a pair
of shoes, or something similar to
brighten up their little faces.
And he goes down in that dirty
hole. Maybe he comes out o. X. and
maybe they take him home on a.
stretcher, never to work again. Mr..
