POPULAR TRUSTS

1t IS becoming harder to connect the trusts" with
"plutocracy. Big corporations coming more and
into the possession of the great middle class of
we-to-do Americans instead of a few very rich men,
This tendency has been in recent years in the
of such corporations the Pennsylvania railroad
and the steel trust with their stockholders running
into the hundreds of thousands It has been given
impetus by the preference of multimonares for
free securities That has left investment in standard
corporate securities more open to small investors.
Corporations too, have got into the habit of making
special appeals to such investors, particularly their
employees their customers, thus killing
two birds with stOne-getng the capital they need
for further Development and spreading friendly in
terest in their prosperity
The extent of this movement has not been realized
by most people business reviewer says that there
customer-owners of securities in the United
States today than the total number of security
ers in the country 10 years ago. Likewise there
more employee-stockholders than the total number Of
stockholders 10 years ago.
AS a striking example OF the new situation, he
records the fact that during the present year alone
the electric light and power companies have sold
ly 200000000 worth of their securities to 225000 in
dividuals
Soon the people will literally own and control the
trusts the public service corporations and the great
industrial corporations we'll. They are probably
about half way to the consummation nova fact
which helps to explain the riendness to big busi-
and also the improved morals of big business.

THE BIG CITY

Well we've been to the Big City and we've spent
Iots OF money and we've had great time but heavens
what relet to get back to place where you're not

around.
People OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, swarms, hordes of
them Streets full of them stores teeming with them
theaers crowded with them and even the churches
running over with them.
Surely God never intended folks to be all crowded
up into congested Masses falling over each other like
ants, pushing, squirming, pulling, putting, painting
rushing everywhere you 90.
We sat through wonderful performance in a
gilded palace which Pharaoh would have been proud
to build. We ate in a gorgeous food emporium so
gaudiy decorated that there was hardly square inch
of wall or ceiling visible and with orchestra bigger
than we have ever had in the valley for our most
elaborate occasion. We wandered through stores with
garments costly it would take months salary lust
to buy single garment-and never saw familiar
face Not single soul to care whether the mob de-
sroyed not Eating at the fine restaurant wasn't
half much fun eating lunch at Bill Clements or
Elmo Loynd's or Bobby Burns where every person
comes up and SlapS you the back and wishes you
merry Christmas or inquiries after the kds-and be-
sides the food wasn't nearly good.
And we tried to get to the other side of town

the right street and then we had to walk blocks and
blocks to get to the right house and by the time we got

All of which leads rise up and remark that
there are lots of compensatons in living in a small

where you get somewhere without starting the day

address since the last election. Only
registered citizens will have the right
to vote at the primaries in August and

CLIENT, Belgium, July 15.-The In

staged in the hall and gardens in
which the Worlds Fair Of 1908 was
held, brings together representatives
of thirty million co-operators from
forty different nations. This remark
able exhibition will continue to Sept.
Is. 1t has been arranged by feder-
alton Of Belgian cooperative societies
in the most ideal spot possible. There
are societies or departments of socie-
ties which concern themselves with
the newly born, with the feeding and
clothing of the people, with the erec-
ton and furnishing Of houses, with the
education and amusement Of people
(there is a fully equipped cooperative
theater in the exhibition), with the
encouragement of thrift by means of
labor cooperative banks, with the cur
ing of the six and the provision of ar
tificial limbs, with the spread Of educa-
ton by printing and publication of
newspapers, and with the recreation
of the people at vacation homes in the
country and by the seaside. The ex-
position displays everything from
sample shoes to ships and sealing wax
made by cooperative societies scat
tered all over the world.
The opening of the international ex-
position marks the fiftieth anniversary
of the founding of the Belgian coop
erative movement. From the little CO.
operative bakery which Edward An
sele and dozen poor fellow workmen
started in the back yard of an inn
has grown to enormous proportions, to
has grown to enormous proprtions, to

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-Not
having been able to blame the Cal
ifornia hoof and mouth epidemic on
the l. W. W., the police are now max
ing strenuous efforts to blame them
for number of recent fires in San
Francisco lumber yards. Some of
these fires were probably incendiary,
but there is no evidence to connect
the l. w. w. or any other labor or
ganization with any of them. This
fiimsy excuse may be used as a pre-
text for renewed raids on defense
and other headquarters. Because of
recent raids, the California branch,

now be addressed at Box STA, San

MORGAN RAILROAD
men TAKE PROFIT;
WORKERS LOSERS
"Poor" Railroads! Big
Profits; No Wages!

Another railroad closely connected
with ]. P. Morgan and his financial
interests has Just announced the cut
ting off a rich mellon. The Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad in its report for
1928 shows the companies net rail-
way operating income-or net pro-
fit $42,133,129, an increase Of over Is
million dollars, or 1851 over the pre-
ceding year.
j. r. Moron, director Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, is also
director in the First National Bank
Of the City of New York, and direc-
tor in the First Security Of New York,
both Morgan controlled banks. Thru
these banks the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad is connected with the other
large railroads, with the United States
Steel company, and the Electrical
Trust.
Paul NJ. Warburg, another director
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
is also a director in the Western I'm
ion Telegraph company.
At the same time the announcement
of the immense profits Of the Morgan
interests was announced, the United
States Court Of Appeals dismissed
equity suits brought by the railroad
unions against the Pennsylvania Rail-
road for S15,OO0,0OO. The shopcrafts
union men claimed back pay due them
under decision of the railroad labor
board. But when the workers sue
for their rights against the Morgan
interests the courts intervene and al
low the Morgan men to split their
40 million dollar dividends.
