Theie is no need to pn over the re
cent history of this chapter in our lor
clctn relations. It is tresh ill public
rccolk, tioa. liui tin. M'iiel of the iuo
loniicd iieHiiti.itloiis with China is inter
estint;. It will be reniembeivd that the
chief powers of Kuropo insisted at llrst,
and very .siiuiixly, upon their iiound ot
flesh. Their ilemands upim China lor
indeuinity for the lloxer outrages were
noloi iously unreasoiiable. They lar ex--eeileii
China's ability to pay, unless
payment was to be lollected by heivsun;
of territory. It was hugely due to the
Cniteil Slates Unit these unreasomible
denianUK were finally somewhat abated.
The degree of abatement was not wholly
satislaclory lo ilic letiresentatives of
this government, but it was all that
they could accomplish under the Ur
lumstances and they apparently acciul
esced. An apportionment of the sum
exacted Horn China as damages was
nsreed upon. 11 was inestimably based
upon the actual damages sustained, to
gether with reimbursement for the
actual expenses incurred by the powers
In dispatching expeditions to the lescue
pf t(ielr beleaguered subjects. Thus lius

This was an exorbitant demand to

The Leading Hortrrage Holder.
OXIO OK the timely points made
by President Schwab of the
V t'nltod States Steel corpora
tion in his recent speech be
fore the Chicago Hankers' club was that
labor, not capital, had llrst mortgage
on that great corporation, He said;
"Many people Imagine that the bonds
nf the I'nlted .States Steel company are
llrst mortgage on Ils great propcitles.
They are not. If you give the subject a
moment's thought you will see that Urn
llrst nioiiKiigo Is that which Is owed to
labor, The United States Sice cm pm -atlon
pays to labor $l.in,0('li,i.K' a year,
efitiivalent to a mortgage debt of $:i,uuo,.
nuo.oiMi mi the pioperty."
Ill other words, the stake m labor In
this nulerprlie, not takins' Ir.lo account
any investmeiitrf which It may dlieetly
make in the hecuiilles of the company,
Is neatly llnee times that of capital.
Hut it Is obviously neiehsar.v, for the
interests of both, that the labor em
ployed should bo co-oneratlve and not
belligerent, Tho mistaken endeavor nf
soinu labor lenders to restrain Individ
ual elllclency so as to l.ct-p output down
to it dead level Is as liijinlous to labor's
interests as to capital's.
All Unmistakable Drift,
PALM, MOHTtlX, vlcu president
and ueueral tralllc manager
u f the Santa l-'e ralhoad, says
that mm of three things in the
mill cad business is sure to happen
within the next few yiars: The ligal.
Izatlon of pooling, whereby tlic i all
roads can make entorclble contracts
among themselves for a division of traf.
lie; or the unlllcatlon of ownership; or
the. taking over of the ownership of the
roads by the goviTiiuu-ni.
He gives theao as nlternutlvm. W
should not be surprised If they might
turn mil to be gradations. To scctne
enforclble coiitinctK uluoiig Ihe lo.uls In
rrspeel lo division or tralllc and to
guard against sicrct deals and ronct s
slum It hi now almost necessary to have
a tmlltcallnu of ownership. The ion
veiitlonul name for this Is "cniiimunnj.
of Interest." Hut II has many or the
eliariiclerlstlcH of a uiillled ownerslilp.
The ovvneishlp may not be tiullled, but
the control is.
I''ioiii this to government owneishlp
Is u sceinlngly long step, and one which
iniiny iieople do not want to coiiti'tn
plato. Hut It is loL'Ical, If a small
group or Individuals are to control the
railway Interests or this country for the
reason that It Is advantageous to have
control centralized, a powerful argu
ment In nut In the haiiili of those who
are clamoring for a still greater cen
tralization, one having no theoretical
Incentive to cut private above public
considerations. Very few thoughtful
persons are anxious to see this country
embnrlc unon the experiment of state
soclnllsin: but he Is blind to the signs
of the times who does not sec that they
arc rapidly drifting In that direction.
