 The Weather and the Crops
 In New England and also In New York state and some parts of the middle west the farmers are now complaining. saying that in addition to the deflation in the prices of farm products, the weather is now contrib uting an unfavorabte influence, so that many farmers are in despair Not for many years has a drouth which can be compared with the one now prevailing parched the soil, ruined much of the hay crop and done almost incalculable damage to crops of all kinds, as is the case this year. In the upper part of New York state the soil has become pulverized by the scorching dry weather. Hay Is almost destroyed, and the hay crop of northern New York has been for years one of the chief agriculture products.
 Reports come to New York from other parts of the country that ike condi tions have prevailed at least Tn some sections. Unless bountifui ram should come speedily the promise of the early spring for harvest, record making perhaps. or certainly very large. will be found to have been false promise. However. in making the early spring predictions, it is all ways said that the contingency of unfavorable weather in the summer should be borne in mind. The coun- try. is so large, however, that unfav- orable weather conditions in one sec ton does not prevail in other sec tions, although some years ago the burning sun, whose heat was undi- unfinished for weeks, ruined much of the corn crop of the United States. That. however, was before the culti- vation of Indian corn became so gen eral throughout the south.

of the company should be given to en-

A special committee Of the Interstate

created to study living conditions and
fix wages and rates at given intervals.
Several times in my own experience
have found, after long waiting, when
no one suggested plan furnishing a
real solution of an existing problem
that a motion made and seconded to
carry out definite scheme resulted,
first, in it's being passed, and second,
in getting other minds to work out
something better as an amendment,
thus quickly bringing about successful
action. 1t is with this in view that
the foregoing is offered as point of

Equity in Public Utilities
A Plan to Prevent Strikes and Treat Capital and Labor
With Equal Fairness

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: When there is a fire in city
and building falls across the street
what do the authorities do first? They
clear the street, of course, so that
transportation can function. What did
France and Belgium do when their
cities and villages were devastated :?
They cleared their highways, so that
transportation could go on. What
would the people do if some one show
eled the debris back again? They GER
tainly would treat 'em rough"
1t is the evident duty of the govern
ment to put stop to any interference
with transportation by making such in
reference a crime punishable with
great severity. Measures to prevent
interference will be popular, provided
they are just to all
The plan which have to propose not
only has the basic principle Of justice,
but would be Of benefit TO all
AS in erecting building 1t is not
wise to build the superstructure until
substantial foundation has been pro-
yided, so 1t is not wise to start with
factors which are not of underlying
importance. Therefore, let US BEGIN
with the railroads, the greater arteries
Of transportation, which more than
anything else developed the country.
In order that our country may con-
tinue to develop, the use Of its arteries
must be protected from all interfcr-
ence. If the blood does not circulate
normally in the human body, disease
ana f1naly death follow. If the trans
portation (circulation) of country
GOES not function normally, prosperity
's restricted. Any man with red bleed
would defend himself should another
attempt to cut his throat. Why should
not the government of country exer-
c'se the same good sense in xesen.ioo
interference with the circulation ~
transportation?
Labor and capital combined in Trans.
portasion made the country what it il.
and only BY cooperation OF capital and
Iaoor can expansion continue. Capital
honestly invested must be honestly
treated by prompt payment Of interest
and return Of principal when due. Only
by such treatment can it be expected
that capital can be procured IN the
future At moderate rate II interest
in order that the country's transoorta-
ton may be effectively maintained and
extended.
There are about 1o7ooo, 900 people
In the United States. about two per
cent being railroad employees, OF these
very small proportion would ever
strike II not forced by few hundred

nit these few to continue to interfere
with the welfare of the whole people?
There are three parties to this prob
lem-the whole people, those who fur
nish capital and the laborers; the first
includes the other two. Everybody
will be benefited by strike prevention
except the strike makers, who will
have to seek some other occupation or
bear the brunt of public opinion.
| In order to treat the matter sue
cessfully as we'll as cthically the great
mass of the population must be fair
to the other two classes. If the public
through it's government is not fair to in
vestors, it will be difficult to obtain
money to keep even the present faci-
ties going and almost impossible to ex-
tend them If the ajority is not fair Il,
labor, it will be impossible to obtain it
in sufficient quantity or quality to insure
satisfactory results. The employee of
public utility should be on HIGHER
plane Of respect and confidence, since
his duty is to his country as we'll as
to the company which employs him. He
should be entitled to at least as much
for his labor as those who work for
an individual, firm, company or cor
poration, with some extra benefits
The plan Of compensation for labor
proposed is, first, to pay employees on
par with the average wage which
equal ability, Industry and conditions
OF labor command at the time and
locality in private enterprises, and
based also on the existing cost Of liv-
! ing measured by food, raiment and
rent, in,lucing heat, light and water.
The wage should be flexible to suit ex-
listing conditions. and periodically fixed
every three or six months, according
to the average Of prevailing wages in
private enterprises and the cost OF
living.
In addition to the regular pay an
extra percentage above the wages
should be paid by the railroad into a
fund for the benefit Of the EMPLOYEES.
interest to be paid to them scmi-an-
rually. If an employee dies, the prin-
ctpal with accrued interest, should 20
TO his heirs. If he gives reasonable
notice of quitting his job, or is dis
charged, the principal and accrued in
tfrest should be paid to him within a
reasonable time, based upon the usaees
OF savings banks. in order that. the
'und may have the advantages of long
Yeriod investment. II he leaves with
out timely notice, or does anything
