Sir. A query addressed to men in
the "ffont seats:
By what right are you there inner
itance, price, ability? Who sat there
before you did, how cane he there
how long did he stay and whcrc did he
go when you took the seat?
Are there men IN the aisle by whom
you pushed unfairly; are there men
behind whose view you are obstructng
unfairly?
What Of your duty to those left be-
hind? Did they help you attain your
position? Are you helping them SIS
much as you might? Are they deprived
of even fighting chance because Of
you?
To-day there are men, young and
vigorous, spending hours hunting any
kind of a job. Night after night they 90

the answer is always, "Non4" What
of their future. their chance FOR mere

Think well, you men in the front

by your acts and policies any other is

National Transportation
Interstate Commerce Commission
New England Decision

To tbs Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: cu do well to give proper en-
phasis to the recent decision of the
/ Interstate Commerce Commission SIS
illuetrating its extraordinary powers.
Tho commission awards 10 the COM
plsinant carriers Of New England s.
blanket increase IN their proportion
Of the joint rate on interchange bust
mss With carriers beyond New Enc
lsrd (eXcepting Canadian railways)
/ The award has immediate effect and
a . blanket adjustment applies re-
garoloss Of specific equities in individ
ual instances. The opinion is remark
abe Tor the sharp opposition of con
curing and dissenting commissioners.
This New England joint rate divi-
sions case raises profound and far
primarily in the Interpretation Of g
specific law, namely, the transporta-
tion act Of 1920. But the law itself
only gives expression to natural prin-
ciples ALREADY underlying the whole
business structure.
In the undirectsd, free processes Of
trade are Developed slowly a solidar-
ity ana integrstion that soclalize local
Or temporary advantages which bear
disadvantageously on individuals or
localities without compensating sd-
vantages to society as whole. AS
business becomes more Of regular
operation IN the performance of serv-
ice and less OF private speculation
the integration that goes on rcarpraises
local advantages and disabilities In
the interest Of the whole process.
In thc mind OF the majority of the
commission the underlying thought is
- national transportation system y
whose parts must be maintained if
they are not to be abandoned." Com
missioner Potter, in concurrence. refers
to the increased collection from ship
pers authorized by thc commission ns
authorized primarily in the public in
tercst to insure transp sportation through
out Che nation" In sharp contrast dis
ssntine Commissioner Hall denies that
Congress can Curb the strong and
foster the weak under the euis9 Of
protecting the public interest" These
Two positions arr irreconcilahlc. This
process Of indignation We believe is
inevitable, because natural and night
and in the interest Of the highest e.
nciency. But there is need for progress

which this Indignation must proceed.
