POETRY
THE FouRTH OF JULY.

 Haine, from her farthest border, gives the first exulting shout. And from New Hampshire's granite heights the echoing peal rings out :; The mountain farms of stanch Vermont prolong the laundering cal. And Massachusetts answers Bunker HilF' "a watchword for us all. Rhode Island shakes her sea wet locks acclaiming with the free, And staid Connecticut breaks forth in joyous harmony; The giant joy of proud New York loud as an earthquakes roar, Is heard from Hudson's crowded banks to Fries crowded shore. Still on the booming volley rolls, OCT plains and flowery glades, To where the Mississippi's flood the turbid gulf invades; There, borne from many mighty stream uTon her mightier tide, Come down the swelling. long huzzaS from all that valley wide. And wood crowned Allegheny's call, from all her summits high, Reverberates among the rocks that pierce the sunset sky. While on the shores and through the swales. round the vast inland seas. The stars and stripes midst freemen' S songs are flashing to the breeze. The woodsnan from the mother takes his boy upon his knee And tells him how their fathers fought and bled for liberty. The lonely hunter sits him down the for est spring beside To think unon his countrv's worth and feel his country's pride. While many a foreign accent which our God can understand Is blessing him for home and bread in this free fertile land. Yes: when upon the eastern coast we sink 10 happy rest The dav of independence rolls still on- ward to the west Til dies on the Pacific shore the shout of jubilee
 That woke the morning with it's voice
 along the Atlantic sea. O God look down upon the land which thou hast loved so well And grant that in unbroken truth her
 children still may dwell. Nor while the grass crows on the bill and streams flow tl,rou~h the vale May they forget their fathers faith or
 in their covenant fail: Keen God the fairest. noblest land that
 lies beneath the sun Our country. our whole country. and our
 country ever one"

LABOR MARKING
TIME ON STRIKE
Will Not Act Until After
Compromise Is Again
Presented.

Further organization for action to aid
the striking city firemen in event the
compromise proposition to be submit
ted to the city Tuesday fails, featured
meetings of several unions Sunday. La
Dor now is marking time until the final
answer is received on the proposal for
firemen to return to work under their
old status and without prejudice.
Just what form this union action will
take has not been revealed by labor
leaders, but it is declared that plans
under advisement will define clearly the
attitude of affiliated bodies and will
bring out just where the union people
stand.
Another meeting of the firemen Sun
day was attended by all members on
strike. The Trades and Labor council
ately after the city's answer is re-
ceived and should the offer be rejected
it is predicted that union action will
start Wednesday.
Should the compromise proposal be
rejected, it is understood that the fire
men will then present to the city a
statement of conditions and what may
be expected from the union men. Solid
cooperation of all crafts is claimed
action planned will be laid before the
commission for consideration before a
final answer is given.

Classes one to four are usually less
carload merchandise; classes five and
six usually represent merchandise in
carload lots.
Shipments taking first-class rates in
clude such commodities as boots and
shoes, dry goods, clothing, some kinds
of furniture and similar goods. Among
the articles taking second class rate
are machines of various kinds, including
sawmill and woodworking machinery.
Canned goods, less carload shipments,
take third class rates, and fifth class
when shipped in carloads. Certain
kinds of paints in metal cans, white
lead, ETC., take fourth class rates
Class A includes sand, gravel, brick,
salt and similar commodities shipped

takes class G rates and grain and
grain products are governed by class
ID rates.
1t is conceded by nearly al. the ship
pers traffic associations thar to pro-
vide an aggregate annual net railway
the aggregate value of the railway
property, as contemplated in the recent
transportation act, and to provide for
the wage increase awarded by the fed
eral wage board, an increase of approx
mately 40 per cent in the freight rates
will be necessary. Thus when the pres
ent first class rate from St. Louis to
Memphis is raised from Sly cents per
100 pounds to $1.1S per 100 on October
], a 40 per cent advance on the $l.1S
rate, amounting to Al cents per 100
would increase the rate to $165 per
100, or more than double the present
rate. Other rates would be affected
in the same way.
A general increase in freight rates
is sure to come, but Memphis shippers
have not entirely abandoned hope OF de-
feating the proposal to eliminate river
competition in the making of local
rates. Interior cities have been fight
ing Memphis rates for years, and the
local shippers organizations have had
a continuous struggle before the inter-
state commerce commission to main
tain the natural advantage in rates that
the citys strategic location of the Mis-
sissppi river has given it.
When the river was alive with steam
boat traffic, the railroads assumed the
burden of the fight to obtain lower
rates to river points than to interior
cities in order to compete with the river
traffic and get share of the business
With low freight rates based on river
competition, quicker service and more
aggressive solicitation of business, the
railroads in time drove the steamboats,
from the river. But even after the rail
roads had practically eliminated river
transportation they recognized the In
fluence of potential competition and
were content to handle the business on
rates based on river competition, and
RETAINED from joining in the fight OF
the interior cities to raise the rates to
river points.
Only by establishing steamboat lines
and restoring actual competition on the
1sty u lah rrta DVI l., Ia
state commerce commission will be
compelled to consider, can Memphis
hope to retain, or regain. its present
advantageous freight rates.
