People Lose Control
 of Public Utilities

Washington, April 26.-The United States supreme court has ruled in favor of the New York Telephone Company in it's fight against the rates ordered by the New York public ser vice commission.
 The commission set temporary rates for the company, which secured an injunction against this procedure from the federal district court. The commission appealed to the United States supreme court on the ground that the company must first go to the state courts.
 This has been disputed point, but the supreme court now rules that the company can take it's troubles direct to a federal court The effect of this decision may be that the people in a state will no longer control these public utilities.
 The fight of the corporations to bring about this situation is interest ing. Several years ago the cry was heard that these corDorations should be taken out of politics." The cor porations made pretended fight in opposition Public service commis- sions were created to do exact jus tice between the corporations and the public Now the people find that the commissions may be discarded for the federal courts.

ROAD LOST MILLIONS
 BECAUSE OF STRIKE

Boston, April -26-By locking out their shop men, officers of the Boston & Maine railroad caused a loss of S3,Ooo, 900,
 At a meeting of the stockholders President Hustis acknowledged that the direct and indirect loss would reach that figure, The president was asked if this amount could not be saved if the road accepted the Baltl- more agreement, as has more than 100 other roads. To this query Presi- dent Hustis referred the questioner to his annual report.
 The New York, New Haven x Hartford railroads losses because of the lockout is $4,S65,768.
 These losses would also be avoided if the shop men were permitted to return to work without surrendering their manhood.

substantial sound.
 Neither IS reference made to the ad ditional $1.75 per ton which the public must pay the trust because of this cent wage increase.
 At the annual meeting of steel trust stockholders the other day, Judge Gary said that the immigration law lis one of the worst things economically" the United States has ever done.
 What the judge means, of course, is that the law Is one of the worst things the United States ever did to the seekers of cheap labor.
 These exploiters are furious that they have not free entrance into the Balkans and southwestern Europe, where they can secure the cheapest white labor in the world
 To reach this cheap labor, they make pleas that are really funny. Think of these labor exploiters, who would crush every ideal from man, talking about only favoring the admittance of immigrants who can measure up to high moral standard!
 The flight for cheap labor has reached the moral stage. The labor exploiters and profit grad-grinds have assumed a spiritual pose, and assure the public they would ennoble America with these ir111ni- grants.
 When once here, however, the immi- grants would be used for the same old wretched purpose. Their lives would be burned out before the furnaces of steel for the benefit of the few who would forget their moral Dretense.
 To aid this campaign for cheap labor unionists may expect frenzied publicity and how1s of labor shortage" from now until congress convenes. It will be the same kind of campaign that was Waged two years ago when labor was charged with failure to do fair days work.

LabOr-Baiters Can Not Whip a Union Like This

In the April issue of the Interna- tional Typographical Journal, Presi- dent John Mcfarland reports that the number of commercial printers now on strike for the 44hour week is 3,oo4, as against All the previous month. In other words the fight for the shorter week Is practically won.
 Since the strike was inaugurated in the book and job shops on May I, 1927, to enforce an agreement with the employers, the receipts from strike assessments, paid on percent age of wage basis by those members working, was $I4,383, 800, and the ex- pense of the strike $I3,64I,265. No set of employers, backed by all the banks, chambers of commerce and TO- tary clubs, could whip such labor organization.

Strike Cuts Profits;
 Paper Trust Badly Hit

New York, April 26-The long strike of paper makers against the International Paper Company has af- fected profits of that corporation which reports a deficit, last year, of $o,o72, ,3oo, Wall street declares that this is Hess favorable" than expect ed. As Wall street never speaks in superlatives, this admission is signif- cant. The previous years deficit was $8,o42,8oo.
 It is declared that common stock holders will not receive dividend for a long time, but with a patience wor- thy of Job these innocents gulp down their losses as big biz continues it's anti-union policy.
 The strike has been marked by es- pecially vicious injunctions against the paper makers, who have made re- peated attempts to adjust the differ ences. The trust, however, demands complete surrender. Its success, is in dicated by it's financial reports the past two years.

 IN FOREIGN LANDS

Trust Uses Petty Wage Increase
 To Uphold Labor Shortage Claim

Washington, April 27-"The II per cent. wage increase granted by the United States Steel Corporation is sufficient proof that Judge Ebert H. Gary Is cor rect in his assertion that there is a labor shortage" says the Washington Post, recognized spokesman for the national administration.
 This reasoning IS of the kind used by those who favor free immigration. The trusts wage increase simply means that workers will not labor in the steel in ferno for 36 cents an hour. A II per cent. increase is less than 40 cents an hour. If labor shortage exists in the steel industry, the reason is apparent to men who are willing to see.
 One newspaper correspondent who is considered a sort of official wig wager for vested interests, writes in another local newspaper that "the advance in wages granted by the steel corporation, it Is generally agreed, was due in no small measure to the competitive search for American labor"
 It will be noticed that these publicity agents never mention the former rate of 36 cents an hour. They talk about II per cent. increase, which has more
