sponsibility sobcrs men so that they seriously consider their obligations and duties to themselves and their fellow men, They hesitate under the weight of such responsibilities to incur public dis pleasure and to fly in the face of public opinion
 Then back of it all is the powerful irresistible force of public sentiment. It is the court which, after all, compels recognition. No organization or group of men can successfully carry out a movement which is opposed to public sentiment and vice versa, organizations and groups ot men are compelled to re- opinion in an affirmative way.
 It Is this powerful, compelling moral force which, after all, settles every great question affecting the public interest. The inevitable result of the working of such a plan would be wage agree ments for fixed periods of time and un- interrupted operation of the coal mines. D

Seamen's Wages
 Raised

Washington, May I8,-The ship ping board has raised wages of sea men in it's employ Of more import ance, however, Is the support given the organized seamen's claim that competent American and foreign sea- men are being replaced by incompe- tents, I. w. W's, European reds, and narcotic smugglers.
 This claim is now upheld by a spe cial committee of the shipping board, headed by Commissioner O'Connor The committee says "the riff-rag ele- ment and the disloyal radical have no place in the American merchant mar inc"
 This report is a vindication of the seamen's union, which was defeated two years ago in a joint attack on working conditions by the shipping board and private vessel owners. At that time the unionists waved all de- mands for union recognition and ask ed the board and the private owners to agree to employ only American citizens or those foreigners who had declared their intentions This offe, was refused, both by the board and the private owners. The refusal re- suited in filling the ships with the ''riff-raf" that the boards committee now objects to.

 Court.

The labor question presents new problems unknown to the courts of equity when our government was fOund- ed Equitable rules appertain for the most to property rights rights of capital and the courts of today persist in stretching those rules to crush labor organizations on the theory that labor is commodity without the slightest recognition of the human souls and the American homes which the term labor connotes. By legislative acts labor has been declared not to be a commodity or article of commerce. Yet the courts re- fuse to give recognition to this obvious truth.
 The fact is that the labor question is in a class by itself and should be SO treated by the law because of the human elements composing it. That this IS so is indicated by the employers in number less establishments where all differences with the workers are settled peaceably because justly and where strikes are therefore unknown. It has been recognized by Congress and by the state legislatures generally in the countless special laws passed to regulate child labor and that of women, the hours of labor and working conditions, minimum wage laws anl workmen's compensation acts. Human rights, interests, and aspirations may not be treated by the law

THE DECEPTION OF
 DECIMAL FRACTIONS
By LEVI STEVENS LEWIS.


 Mir. Albert J. County, statistician of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, writes: The average freight revenue per ton mile declined from mills in 1891 to seven and three -tcnths mills in 1915 and in order to earn profit of one cent" a ton of freight must be hauled distance of more than five miles, This information Is wonderful considered in the light of other we'll es- tabished knowledge,
 Mir. County should explain When were the rates so reduced? By whom i? And why?
 One thousand tons of freight hauled 100 miles at 50 ton, allowing 5000 for cost of transportation, yields $5,4OO profit, which IS five cents and four mills profit per ton per mile; twenty-seven cents profit per ton for five mile haul
 Fifteen hundred tons hauled 100 miles at SC per ton, allowing $7OO for cost of transportation, yields $500 profit or eight cents and three mills profit per ton per mile, namely, forty one and one-half cents profit for each ton hauled distance of five miles.
 And what about the average" rate (incOme) per ton per mile?
 The railroads charge from $98O to $9760 a ton from Chicago to Omaha, according to classification, which is two to twenty cents per ton per mile. From Cleveland to Chicago the rate Is from two and one-half to twenty cents per ton per mile. These are about the average rates" collected. A schedule of rates to and from hundreds of other points might be cited, but it's not worth while The average rate" figured down to fractions of mill, no man knows; not even Mir. County. It appears to be somewhere between two and twenty cents per ton mile; at least ten times as great as MT, County's unauthenticated word declares 1t to be.
 The people of the United States are taxed millions of dollars every year for misinformation concerning this funda mental economic problem in which the prosperity of all is involved' yet never the less if I've don't greatly over-rate the intelligence and patriotism of the American people they will, ere long, in sist on knowing, with approximate ac- curacy. the truth concerning railway in come, railway expense and railway proht.
 The railroad problem will be, as Senator Capper has so declared, "The Big Question: before the 68th Congress;

 1 have quoted from the Daugherty injunction sO-Called Do not forget that the United States of America itself was the complainant in that suit And bear in mind that the Constitution forbids Congress to make any laws abridging the freedom of speech or of the press. Also remember that the injunction from which l have quoted was granted upon of the Attorney General, without notice to the labor unions or their members. There was nothing before the judge ex- cept such papers as the Attorney General saw fit to submit. Yet this in- junction was so issued which, by stroke of the pen, turned into crimes acts which before that had been innocent and unpunishab1e.
 I say it turned innocent acts into crimes.

Bosses Use Blacklist
 to Fight Labor Unions

San Francisco, May I88.-The pro- secution of building material men who maintained a blacklist against em- ployers who recognized trade unions has revealed that the industrial as sOCiatiOn raised large sums among business men to crush unionism and the material men refused to sell to union contractors. The anti-union- lsts called this system the "American plan"
 Detectlves in the employ of the as sociation followed deliveries to see that no employer friendly to the building unions secured material.
 Anton Lettich, plumbing contractor who instituted proceedings against the antl-unionists, failed to secure ma ter1al, though he offered cash pay ments. He was forced to buy in Los Angeles where he was blocked by the industrial association. He then bought supplies at Sacramento.

HOW TO BRING PEACE TO MINES

(By international Labor News Service) )
 Washington, D. C., May 18.-The United Mine Workers of America, in a statement filed with the United States Goal Commission through Secretary William Green and Vice President Ph1pl!! Murray, point out why complete unlonlzation of the mining industry offers the only road to industrial peace in that industry.
 Mir Murray in his statement declared the commission "by an aggressive and fearless attitude can compose all diff terences which exist in the unorganized mrn1ng sections" By guaranteeing the right ot workers to organize and bar gain collectively through the United Mine Workers or other union systems, he sad, miners would achieve uni torn1ty ot wages and working condi- tlons and regularity and continuity of employment"
 The union, he added, has no purpose of establishing revolutionary or worker control of the mines, but does demand a voice in the control of the coal in dustry"
 Secretary Green, asserting that strikes were constantly encountered in the operation of non-unOn mines, said that union recognition and joint wage agreements provide the only way through which the coal industry can be stabilized"
 It may be charged by those opposed to union recognition and collective bar gaining that if the United Mine Workers were completely organized they would strike and paralyze the industries of the nation at will" Mir. Green continued. 1t must be frankly admitted that If this were true it would constitute a grave menace to the welfare, comfort and happiness of the American people. The answer to this Is
 "First-There could be no strike ex- cept at the termination of contract period, and then only in the event of failure to agree upon a new wage agree ment
 Second-The moral responsibility of the operators and miners would be so great and solemn that they could not, except in extreme emergency refuse to agree upon the terms and conditions Ot a fair and reasonable wage scale.
 Human experience shows that re-
