House of Representatives for the
great state of Ohio.
Mr. Welty was commenting upon
the failure to prosecute trusts under
the Sherman Act and the still more
remarkable failure to punish trusts
when they were prosecuted-old
stuff, but Of present significance.
He minated that a few prosecu-
lions of the kind, sustained and
propmtly punished by the courts up
on conviction, would do much to
end profiteering. Moreover, he said
chat the courts were too lenient with
wealthy malefactors. mot a single
person has been sent to prison, eX-
cept a few labor leaders" Welty told
the House judiciary committee.
Well that's true. But it is the
usual way, time honored, hoary with
age and venerable by precedent.
The Sherman Act has hit many la
Dor organizations hard enough and
laborites still harder. But it has
hurt no trust and dissolved none
that one may observe.
The Sherman Act is only an Incl
dent. like the Lever Act The Lever
Act was intended to prevent interfer-
ence with the traffic Of commodities
needed in the war. and the admins
tration said positively and openly
that it was not aimed at labor.
But labor is about all that has eX-
perienced its power; in the Goa
strike and in the railroad strike
and in other industrial activities OF
non-activities. Ostensibly and theo-
rerically and by legal fiction we are
at war with Germany, and although
peace has reigned more than a yeal
men are still being convicted anc
sentenced under war laws-that is
men who have direct or close con
nections with the working class
Yet the press dispatches announc,
with cheerfulness that the STANDARD
OIL of New Jersey has secured
monopoly Of the German oil trade
Tor SO many years, and the Guggen
helms have acquired the control OF
the German electrical trust. So
while We are failing and enjoinine
workers for interfering with wal
with Germany, American capitalist:
are acquiring interests in Germany
with whom we are theoretically a.
war.
The war becomes a real and tang
i5le thing in the eyes Of the law
when il is desired TO jail a laborite
but the war is thing Of the awful
past when it comes to capitalist.

with the approval of the Board the
owners may apply such amount of
deduction on any mortgage indebt-
edness due the United States for the
purchase of ships. This is an insidi-
Gus form of subsidy in the guise of
tax exemption. 1t permits ship
owners to capitalize their surplus
earnings, procedure condemned as
profiteering.
Section rs establishes a subsidy tc
American shippers through the
agency of payment for carrying
mail.
There is no provision in the bill to
prevent our competitors from Sc
curing control of our ships.
The proponents of this bill avow
their desire to build up an Ameri-
can merchant marine and to develop
the nations resources and enable our
| producers and manufacturers to COM
pete on better terms in the worlds
markets. When carefully examined
| however, the bill is seen to be ar
! effort to turn over the peoples re-
sources and their ships to the big
| financial interests to which most of
the ships already constructed have
| been allocated, under terms and con-
ditions which are properly subject
| ing the Shipping Board to the most
severe criticism, and which have
shaken the faith of the American
people in the business sagacity, if
not in the integrity, of some mem
bers of the Shipping Board.
Government ownership of the ships
to be operated by lease or charter,
is not the only question involved in
the present bill. The majority of
the farmers Of America favor such
government ownership and operation
of the ships by charter or lease. The
.arge farm organizations without eX-
ception, are on record, as opposed to
shipping subsidies such as is provid-
ed in this bill.
The purpose Of a merchant marine
is to develop the agriculture and
manufacturing of country. The eff
feet Of the Jones Merchant Marine
bill is to put the American farmer
and the American manufacturer at
the mercy of American or foreign
shipping rings, and to prevent our
government from exercising any con-
| CfOl over ocean freight rates.
The debates on the floor of the
Senate on this bill indicate the ex-
pectation on the part of the Senate
Committee on Commerce that we
shall have a shipping war. That
there will be severe competition for
ocean borne commerce between our
own and other countries is evident
Private ownership of the merchant
marine will make such warfare bit
ter, and likely to lead to most Sc
rious consequences.
Government ownership enables us
to control the relations as to ocean
| transportation and commerce, be-
tween our own and other countries in
the only practical and effective way.
We must condemn this bill as a
vicious reputation of the purposes
for which we entered the war. 1t
is un-American and uneconomic. 1t
should, we believe, be defeated in the
interests Of the American people for
tn reasons we have given.
Yours sincerely,
GEORGE p. HAMPTON.

THAT RADICAL"
COL. HARTLEY

From the following telegram from
Seattle last Monday it appears that
Colonel Hartley, that reactionary
radical, has been flirting with the
women voters of the G.. o. p. per
suasion, fearing the Triple Alliance
will steal EN- from i'm:
Col Roland H. Hartley, of Ev
erett, a republican candidate for gov
ernor, told the King County Women's
Republican club last Sunday that the
effort being made to draw women
out Of unorganized politics and at
filiate them with nonpartisan polltl-
cal movements is a specious trick
brought down to date in the inter
ests of the Triple Alliance, Nonparti-
san League. Socialism and other
radical groups
Don't be nonparisan in your
politics., advised Col. Hartley. 1t
is only through organization, politi-
cal organization, that we are able to
accomplish the things necessary to
bring about government. This talk
of non-partisan politics is subtle
propaganda designed to disrupt party
organization and give Socialism, /.
". W.ism and the Triple Alliance
and Nonpartisan League control OF
the affairs Of government. My ad-
vice to YOU is that if you find that
YOU are not in sympathy with the
Republican party, join the Democrat
ic party, but don't take any stock IN
any organization dedicated to prlnci-
piles Of radicallsm.
In the first paragraph the Colonel
injected q modicum Of truth. The
Triple Alliance is counting the
women voters, but is not asking them
TO Join "other radical groups The
Triple Alliance is leading the way
TO political freedom from politlca
serfdom under Republican or Demo
cratic rule.
In the second paragraph, after beg
cling the women not 10 be NOnpar
ti~an. he admits that through poAu
cal action only can we hope to galI
those things necessary TO good gov
eminent. The Triple Alliance differ.
from the Colonel only in that it be
heves political action necessary u
get rid Of bad government.
The Colonel prerends TO bellev;
there is some sort Of connection be-
tween the Triple Alliance and the
l. W W The latter do not believe
in political action, while the Social
ISIS, Republicans and Democrats dc
believe with the Colonel in the neces-
siry Of political action. From these
three parties the Triple Alliance

THE UNITED STATES
AND THE RAILWAYS

When the United States was III
the midst Of active preparations for
war it was found that the railroads,
under private ownership We're un-
prepared for the emergency The
mauagements were found incompe-
tent. not because the managers We're
incompetent but because the owner
from their Wall Street headquarters
handicapped and hampered them in
the interest Of speculation in stocks.
A chaotic condition existed.
The government was forced to take
control Of the roads as a military
necessity. The government found the
railroads in such bad physical condi-
ton it was found absolutely neces-
sary to spend vast sums Of money in
repair, reconstruction and equip
ment
Did Congress exact from the rail
roads a return Of the money eXpend-
ed for repair, reconstruction and
equipment?
NO.
But Congress, after having paid a
liberal rental in addition to the bet
terment Of the roads, returned them
to their owners and gave in addition
enormous sums of the peoples money
and imposed upon the people enorm-
Gus tax burdens.
Did Congress, enormously suppos-
ed to represent the people Of the
United States, steal the wealth eX-
pended by them upon the roads ? No,
Congress- forcibly "held up" the peo-
pie. took from them their substance
and gave it to the corporation gam
blers whom they really represent.
Congress committed this "hlgh-
way robbery" while the people were
looking on and against the most Wig
or0us protests.
Every congressman who voted for
the Cummins-Esh bill is comparable
with the trustee of a church who
would rob his church and give the
money to a gambling house.
Every voter in the United States
should secure a copy Of the final
roll-call on the Cummins-Esch bill
and vote against every man who
voted for it,
This great wrong must and viii
be righted, and the railroads returned
to government ownership and control
as public necessity.
