Shall Trolleys Exist

Because Of the making of fine roads
and the great number Of cheap auto
mobiles their competing service is
making the existence Of trolleys I'M
profitable. The capital invested is
earning no dividends, when capital is
as much entitled 70 a living wage as
labor.
In many towns and cities the great
increase in labor paid and mainten-
auce has not been met by an increase
in fares, altko the travelling public
now get two nickels where they for
merly earned one. Consequently labor
is getting all and capital nothing.
Scores of trolley lines are not earn
ing expenses and capital invested is
earning nothing. Many are now in
the hands of a receiver and will be
sold because the travelling public is
not paying an increase fare and
freight commensurate with the increase
wages they get.
Labor is entitled to a living wage.
Capital is also entitled to a living
wage on money invested and service
rendered.
