Railroad Rates.

Passengers vote and freight does
not" sagely observes the New York
Times in supporting its view that pas
senger tariffs are likely to figure pre-
dominately in the forming of pub
lie opinion of the present scale Of
charges for railroad service. With
nation deeply concerned in the rednr-
ton of the cost OF living, and with
declines noted in a good many com
modities, there is likely to be a good
deal of discussion of transportation
costs because these enter inevitably
into the general problem. The Union
has held. and still holds, that whit
the country wants first of all is ade-
quate service, and that it is willing to
pay for it: bat there can be no doubt
that there is a question whether or not
the advanced passenger rates are not
in some cases defeating their own oh
iect. Authorities are not agreed on
this point. Probably it will require
analysis to prove who are right. In
complete figures have shown consid-
cradle increase of passenger earnings,
but more data will be needed to reach
very definite conclusions.
The Times declares, however, that
the fifty per cent surcharge on Pull
man accommodations is bringing hard
ship alike to the roads, the Pullman
company and the public. 1t insists the
increase is too great, and that it Is
causing falling off in business. We
are likely to hear more of this argu-
ment. The man who has to make a
fairly long trip by rail gets very
definite idea that he is paying lot
for what he gets. With a passenger,
there is no passing along OF higher
transportation charges to somebody
else. while added freight costs of goods
can be shifted of course, to the ulti-
mate consumer. So, while the total
freight bill to the nation is much great
err than the total cost of passenger
accommodations, it leads less directly
to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Union.

CURRENT COMMENT
Test of a Vermont Law.

That the commissioner of industries
is determined to give workmen full
advantage of the workmen's compensa-
ton act is shown in the recent decision
in Bennington case. Simeon }. hel-
ley while cutting lumber for the Hoos-
ac Lumber Co. in Woodford was fatal
ly injured and his widow asked for
compensation provided by the work
mems compensation act The company
objected, claiming that Mr.. Kelley was
earning in excess of $4,000 year and
thus not entitled to compensation, also
that he was cutting logs by the thou
sand and was therefore a contractor
rather than laborer. The commits
sioner overruled these contentious, APP
parently holding that to be excluded
by the $4,000 wage limit workman
must be steadily employed or actually
receiving $1,000 from the firm or cor
poration at the time of the accident,
and ruled that cutting logs by the
thousand is piece work rather than q
contract. It is said the case probably
will be taken before the supreme court
for decision before these rulings by the
commissioner are accepted.
Employers will watch the case with
considerable interest because it will de-
termine the extent to which they are
liable for injuries received while man
is working on contract. A company
cannot dictate the conditions or the
risks of man working under con
tract and some will feel they should
not be held responsible for accidents
occurring under such conditions,
Several years ago, when there was a
commission of three handling the
workmen's compensation the board de-
eided that corporation was liable for
the injury of man in the employ OF
painter to whom the corporation
had given the contract for painting one
of its buildings but the decision of the
commission was reversed when the
case went into the courts. Brattle-

Charles w Barron, well known as
a writer of finance and economics, de-
clares the country is laying the foun-
dation for a business boom. He calls
it "audacious" to say so in view OF
present conditions but he says it new
ertheless. OF course, the country is
getting ready for a boom. II cannot
stay down always. Business has got
to be better. Hard times are not ever
lasting-not in country so rich in
possibilities as the United States is.
Therefore, Mr., Barron is not so auda-
cious in his prediction a. he seems to
think himself. The only question is
as to when the tide will turn, whether
it will be promptly or long delayed.

MILWAUKEE AND THE 26TH
DIVISION,

Marshal Foch of France seems to
have become confused over the location
from which the 26th division was large
" recruited during the World war, for
he apparently gives Milwaukee credit
for the performances of the 26th. Dur
ing the course of his address at Stras-
burg. Alsace Lorraine recently, Mar
shall Foeh declared: 81 who have seen
them will tell you that the Goth and
32d divisions fought to the limit in
the Argonne. They gave without
counting the cost, and in particular
they took formidable positions at
Montfaucon. And they led us victori-
GUS to the Meuse and from the Mouse
to Sedan. That is why ask you not
to forget Milwaukee to-day To the
general public it is not known that
Milwaukee is entitled to any credit for
the performances of the 26th Yankee
division) in the war, for it had been
generally supposed that the 26th was
made up largely, if not entirely, of
New Englsnders. II Milwaukee had
any considerable part in the goth di-
vision it was not known outside of
army circles.
