Must Appoint Tribunal.

There is but one way out, in my
judgment" he continued. and that is
to appoint a tribunal with the power
to adjust these matters which has the
time to consider and the opportunity
to know the facts. Such a tribunal
must not only have the power and be
prepared to do what is right and just
by the labor employed on the rail-
roads, but must have authority and
power to see that property is not con-
fiscated by its decisions. For should
you confiscate the property of the
transportation companies you would
break down the channels of transpor-
tation as effectively as you would
break them down in a strike, with the
resultant injury to the people. A tri-
bunai of this kind must also have the
authority and opportunity to consider
elers, who in the last analysis will
bear any increased burden that falls
on the carriage Of property or per-
sons over the transportation lines.
IF you want a final and just solu-
ton of such "A controversy you are
practically driven to leaving the de-
cision to a governmental commission
that has full and ample opportunity
to investigate the rates of wage. the
earning power of the transportation
burden that rests on the shipping
public. an5 to determine: First. what
is a fair, just and living wage for
the man; second. how far this charge
can be placed on the capital Of the
corporation without breaking il
down, destroying the value of its
securities. bankrupting its property.
and taking away from the investing
public a fair return for capital in
vested; third. how far an increa sed
charge for labor, interest or supplies.
can be handed down to the public
without doing injustice to the shipper

BRUTE FORCE MUST END

Establishment Of d governmental
commission or board with powers 10

transportation rates was advocated
in the Senate today by Senator IN
derwood of Alabama, a democratic
member of the interstate commerce
committee.

mission as the proposed tribunal. or
discussing the Cummins bills plan to
prohibit strikes and lockouts of en-
ployes. senator Underwood said the
interests of the public. of capital and
of railroad employees require such a

of Congress, he declared, to create
an agency to determine wages as well

Editorial

Can you realize that in
1885 no newspaper had a
circulation of more than
5000, and very few had half
that many?
There were no street
sales, no newsStandS and
very few were sold at the
paper offices.
The price was many times
that of present-day papers,
and the size many times
smaller.
The Morning Post of
New York (1S53) was the
first attempt at penny
paper, but it lived only
three weeks.
Newspapers are of fairly
recent history as a class.
The first one was published
in Frankfort in lois.
There was a sort of gov
ernmental gazette in Rome
prior to that time. but it
hardly deserves the title OF
a newspaper.
Present-day newspapers
are the greatest achieve
ment in human industry.
