'V the. Paine Lumbe.r Company, of Osh
"'J kosh. Wis. i and Mothers against Carpen
" -r ters! . unions and", union contractors of
New York city. The latter agreed to
' handle " only union mill' work . This
A; A-v meant that non-union .-concerns,.- doing
i .'f an. annual business of, $8,000,000, "were
Ahiit onfcof New York Citv. V
; Six years ago the Paine concern and 1
"i - ' several associates asked that the car-
" " ' i'
' A - , penters be enjoined from striking - on
, ' V 7 ' anjr , job where non-union trim was
used; from permitting " officers of the
union from telling inembers when the
non-union trim was being used; from
fining members for working onrnon
. . ' ; union trim, or from entering into agre
T ; ' . ments with contractors. ; , ,; ;
M. V' ,1 The anti-unionists .also made the very
1 V T modest request that the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and "Joiners be enjoined
: ' from publishing or circulating that pbr
"'."," tion of its by-laws which provides that
J J,"it is itheduty of ail district councils

recently investigated the;; strike of mo-

ways of Washington City, "when asked
by Senator Johhson, of California, why
23 employes were discharged . forin-

reinstated ;when the strike was on. Tle
"classic definition V given by the Wash

v itb the ; many absurd : reasons
given vby street railway, officials all over
the country; for their treatment of em
ployes under ; the name i-of "incompe
tency ? and discipline. For instao ce
this city has an ordinance requiring the
street railway" company to employ two
j-A . v ?
men on the cars in, order that one of
them can devote his time to operating
the car as motorman, while the ; other
conducts the carrier and is supposed
to, look after the safety of all passengers.
But, regardless of this ordinance, and, it
seems, in "contemptible, evasion', said
street railway; company : attempt to en
force a rule as" to the conductor depos
iting the fare'-of passengers in the till,
which - in many cases jeopardizes the
safety of aged and crippled passengers '
and .when a conductor 'violates the rule
in order that a passenger's safety Js as
sured, in compliance with the city ordi-.
nance, he is 'suspended for sixty days,
as company officials , say," as a part of
the company.'s discipline. The argu
ment ofi discipline? by the local rail
way company is as absurd as the Wash
ington company 's 'incompetency' ? def
inition, and the rule is an absolute eva
sion of the "two-man" ordinance; so we
believe it is up to the city authorities
enforce, the law and seeVthat the street
railway company, enforces no rule that
would in the least endanger the safety
of the public while riding on their cars.

Mayor Mitchel has notified street car
companies in New York that they, too,
are expected to bear war burdens in
stead pf exploiting the public
In a letter to President Shonts, of the
New York Railways Company, in opr
pbsins: increased rates, he said:
f.ni we naye heard no suggestion thaj
during this temporary period of stress-
the abnormal present profits of the sub
way be divided with : the public. It is
currently reported that the Interbor
ough Company has recently declared a
quarterly dividend of t five per cent,
thereby placing the company upon a 20
per cent annual dividend basis. ; .
"The whole community, including
and not excepting the street railway
companies, must' bear the burdens of
the present" war ; crisis. ' Perhaps this
.will entail a temporarily reduced in
come, but it 'seems to me that the New
York llailways Company -may i fairly' be
expected to 'do its bit' and carry. its
share of the burden with the rest of the
country." '. x , . a
"In answer to "Shonts' plea that in-"
creases were necessary to avert bank-
ruptcyi Mayor Mitchel said: . ;
a"To my mind it would seem that this
appeal for higher rates to avoid bank
ruptcy is in) striking contrast to the at
titude of your company at j th e reorgan
ization The public seryiee commission
then sonnded notes of warning and en
deavored to prevent, to the limit of its
authority, ! the : adoption ; of 5 a financial,
plan which,; in itsAopinion, Jwas ; un
; sonnd and represented o ? ercapitaliza
tion. ( The public can hardly be blamed
because your, company paid no heed."
