TM latest statement hon out bf
the I nlti il Slates stiel corporation
Rimwh 1 1, in hisivety how easily die peo
pie are plundered when all the prod
ucts of one class of industries have beea brought under one management
and It is thus enabled to fix whatso ever prices U may. The statement i
putiiished for the encouragement of
investors and, when this is done vol untarily and the corporation really
boasts of the millions It Is filching
from the people, one may see how fu
tile would bo a law to compel such
corporations to make their earnings and investments public. Yet that la
the means by which some of the Re
publican statesmen would proceed to
suppress the trusts.
In view of the fact that the state
ment is made for the benefit of In
vestors it is fair to assume that. It shows the exact truth regarding the matters with which It deals, and, be
cause of the popular prejudice that
these coniliiiiatious have evoked, It Is morally certain that it has Pol bM exaggerated. It puts the earnings of the corporation for the last three months at M,74,43. For the nine months ending with September total earnings, after deductions for repairs, renewals and maintenance, and for interest on bonds and Sxed chart 's of sulisldary companies, were $lol.ll2.168. Subtracting lt.?74,10S for sinking fund on bonds of subsidaiy com panics and for deprecation and reserve funds the remainder is t90.3$s0M, which is applied on the se. initios of the company. And after the apportionment of $ 13.rtso.oon for Interest on bonds and for the sinkint; fund then Is left a net halam of T,688.051

Parry of Indianapolis trying to1 bring about a MttlepMBt between the tnlneis and UtS i' i.n. vh ania opera tors.

In pppgreta SblcIl provides for an eight hour day. As an individual em-
iployer of labor he has raised his voice
time and iura in a;imst orginizeo labor and his fa lory at Indianapolis Is a non union OOBCerB. In fact, Mr. Parry has resisted every effort of his employes to orgBplpp, and hns invoked tho means that VOUld tend to this end, for Instant disi haige was the penalty for Joining the onion. Not fhret months uko the DatloBaJ orpaplser of eatriage factory employes visited In dlanapolis for the purpose of organiziiiu Parry's men, but Parry showed such a bellicose attitude towards the union tl at the attempt whs abandoned. But here is Mr. Parry's opinion of organized labor, n- aaprcsapfi by him in the Indianapolis N ws of Friday, s.pt. 19: "It is the dp am of the labor movement of this country to plai e all labor
in one mighty trust, and then to pipif i ze th" employers al libitum Should this ever come about, it. will be a ea;;e of the tail waggtag the dog. for the ordinary mind is not so con Stltuted as to run a lariv enterprise suei-es:-! nil;.. Tin mh-essful employer represents the h.ain of progressive cnterptlse. The workers are the handK and feet by whii h pa is enable 1 to ex scute. If UM brain is paraly'-d then is little nie,) for the hands and feet in the world's economy. Men would
still live, but they would lapse back into barbarism. Just as active, ambitious intelligence is given rein, so does the world progress.'' The "walking delegate" is an rye sore to Mr. Parry, and in the same In terview he characterized him as a pro fc3sional agitator and attributes to him all the trouble that exists betwe. n labor and capital. 'These men."' h says, "make a specialty of bptcblAl trouble," and he PPMt 00 to BthM subjects, in all of whtcb he shows i marked antipathy to labor arapwlU tlons. Mr. Parry Is an Ideal Rapubllcaa but the only Atfferei b bin and others Is that pt "ppepkfl DSt ll meeting" when otfcu 1 1 I Um ruhe 0 policy, keep quiet, i'.ut how a mar holding such sentiments could hop tt he influential 1n bringing about a set tlement between the mine j aad ppera tors is something t lint the fat i do no' reveal.

launched once more into tho subject of reforming the financial system of the country, but the general impression of his audience was that he was more of a troubatluur than a financier. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, was in Washington recently and did not heeltile lo state his position in regard to the coal situation. He said "Senator Hill is wrong and Attor ney Oeneral Knox is right." The coal trust and every other trust can be controlled by the common law, ad enactments perfectly within the power of Congress.
