Moving Freight Cheaply.

FROM the Hartford Times
Proposal that motor trucks loaded
with freight designed for distant desti-
nations should be loaded upon fiat cars
and carried in trainloads rather than
moved over the highways individually
under their own power seems entirely
sound.
For several years one of the great
trucking concerns has had an arrange
ment with MidWestern railroad where
by it has moved many long distance ship
ments IN that fashion. The New Haven
Railroad announced a similar plan be-
tween Boston and New York several
months ago.
Now it appears that the Truck Drivers
Union objects to that proceeding. 1t is
threatening a strike unless it is aban-
doned. The unions interest is its fear
that men will be thrown out of work.
The real question at issue is what is
the best and most economical way to
move freight. Whatever the outcome of
the present strike threat, the matter will
ultimately be decided upon that basis.
If freight between New York and Boston
can be moved more cheaply and more
rapidly by combining train transporta-
ton with truck pickup and delivery,
without necessity for loading and re-
loading cargoes, that is the way it will
be done, in time.
1t is the way it ought to be done. Solu-
tions of economic problems which deny
or avoid the logical procedure are not
sound and cannot stand. The movement
of trucks by train would lessen con-
gestion upon the highways. 1t would
bring added revenue to railroads, needed
seriously.
Perhaps the plan would result in less
unemployment than the truckers union
feels. Increase in employment at termi-
mails might make up for most of the un-
employment caused by ceasing to op-
crate trucks over the road In any event,
progress toward the best way Of han
ding freight should not be blocked.

present its view, and to be confronted
with the truth not with physical violence.
On P. 286 DR.. Schaff gives this: "At
the spot in Geneva where Servetus was
brunt the representatives of the French
Protestant churches have placed monu-
ment with an inscription renouncing the
principle which made possible the ex-
ecution of the Spaniard three hundred
years before. 1t runs:
1--WE, respectful sons of Calvin, our
great reformer, condemning an error
which was the error of his age. and
firmly attached to liberty of conscience
according to the true principles of the
reformation and the gospel, have raised
this expiatory monument October ~,
1909"
Liberty of conscience! Exactly. But
long before that, in Philadelphia, it had
been declared by a body of Presby-
terians (Witherspoon, who had recently
signed the Declaration of Independence
among them) God alone is Lord Of
the conscience" A great Protestant
doctrine and glorious one.

Taxicab Insurance
Law Claimed Inequitable.

Law ClAlmeO 1neQulI6OIe.
To the Editor of The Star:
THE passage of the compulsory taxicab
liability insurance bill shows an OBJ
vious lack of understanding of the taxi
cab situation in Washington. In its
present form it flagrantly robs the inde-
pendent operator of his privilege to
compete with the larger organizations
in his puny. hopeful attempt to sustain
living.
No more biased, oppressive and mo-
nopolistic piece of legislation could be
conceived. A large percentage of the
taxicab industry in Washington is a
mere exploitation of human labor in
the consummation Of conspiracy be-
tween automobile sales projections and
usuriouS finance companies.
To these agencies and the large feet
owners this bill is a boon in that it will
tend to eliminate private competition
and enslave the driver.
Here is the classification Of taxicab
drivers:
l. ner-driver-Now able to earn
from 50 to IS per 8 to IL hour day.
2. Rental driver-Working from IL to
18 hours per day and averaging from so
cents to 50 per day.
The present bill will permit fleets to
operate at only slight additional cost,
whereas individual owners will be forced
to pay a per diem rate equivalent to
reducing his earnings below the living
scale now permitted him.
Up to the present, fleet operators have
been fretting, because, despite the
meager earnings of their drivers, they
cannot force them to operate shabby
equipment; work seven days a week, or
pay cab rental when business has been
bad and the driver is left with only a
few cents to eat on. For these drivers
can work for an independent. With
independents stiff1ed, the driver must
accept the mandate of the fleet owner.
Other cities appreciate the classif1ca-
ton of each taxicab as an individual
public utility-and treat each taxicab
as a separate entity-with each operat-
ing on the same streets, subject to the
same taxes and licenses, and an equita-
BILE right to sink or swim under ike
privileges.
OF what conflicting mind is Con-
gress which in the same breath appro-
pirates money for the investigation OF
monopolies and passes legislation tend
ing to produce them.
Where is the champion OF constitu-
tional equality to prevent the subordi-
nation of the privilege these independ-
ents now enjoy to meager living IN
favor of few greedy, powerful operators.
