'arry of Indianapolis yesterday afterloon during; the course of his address before ' the Richmond Chautauqua on (the subject of "Wealth." Prof. Zueblin discussed at considerable length the methods employed in accumulating wealth and the manner in which wealth is distributed. lie declared that the trusts are Inevitable; that ,they are here to stay, "for" said 'Prof. Zeubiin, "if we are to have industries of such great magnitude we must have the management in the hands of a few. The average workingman is awakening to these conditions. He sees organizationof capital on every side and he organizes. The great world of industry newcomes forward with an employers' association. This great organization stands up and has the audacity to proclaim that this body will deal with the laboring men only as individuals. Think of it. Men who are organized themselves refusing to deal with organizations cf other men in less fortunate circumstances. D. M. Parrv, of Indianapolis, the leader of this movement of employers is certainly doing a good work. lie is doing more than any one man to bring about the organization of the laboring men through revolutionary reaction. It is a splendid thing when you get a sturdy fossil, to uit him vn where all may see him. Is it logical for Mr. Parry and others of his class to advocate organization if capital, organization of employer and to stand against organization of employes? Organized capital and organized laFormation of Monopolies. In speaking of the great industrial organizations. Prof. Zeubiin described the manner in which the -formation of the great corporations has come about. The production of material with the least expense, he said, was the real result of these great organizations, but at the same time the product therefrom does not reach the consumer at less cost. The profits o! the jobber, the retailer and what-not all add to the product and the consumer pays it. Labor saving devices also were discussed by Prof. Zueblin and he declared one of the nuzzles of the industrial world to be "what becomes of the labor displaced." They enter the "new industries" yet it is difficult the speaker said, to account for them all. "It is a wonder that any tf us are employed, seemingly," declared Irof. Zueblin. Periods of indus trial depression were touched upon and the great cycles of these periods of depression referred to. In every country where industry plays a prominent part, the same thing is to be noted, the speaker said. yet it had not been satisfactorily explained what has caused it "The United States Bureau of Labor," said Prof. Zueblin sent out quiries as to the cause of the industrial depres sion of 10 to lot. persons. The explanations offered were varied. Some said it was due to capital, others to! labor conditions, other to overproduction, and there were a score of other causes given. But one canso neutralized the other. The explanation of these depressions that most nearly satisfies, is that the power to consume and the 'desire or ability to consume does not co-exist, in the same person at the same time."

PANHANDLE WILL OBEY BUTE BILL

Recent Railroad Legislation Becomes Effective Today on ail Lines. MEANS ADDITIONAL WORK NEW TARIFF SCHEDULES NOW MADE NECESSARY HAS CAUSED THE EMPLOYMENT OF 20Q CLERKS FOR THREE WEEKS. Publishers Prssj Philadelphia, Aug. 27. The railroad rate bill passed by the last congress becomes law tomorrow. Something of the amount of work required of a railroad corporation in arranging to comply with its provisions will be seen from the following statement authorized by the Pennsylvania com" pany: 'In futherar.ee of the well-settled purpose and policy of the Pennsylvania railroad company in good faith to observe and comply with all substantial requirements of the recently enacted Rate Bill, its principal traffic and transportatiaon officers, and other officials, in conjunction with its counsel, have, since the passace of the bill, been diligently and almost continuously, engrossed in the onerous exacting and complicated work necessarily recuired to accommodate the situation. "While the methods and practice heretofore pursued by the company in respect to the filing of tariffs with the interstate commerce commission generally accord with the letter and intent of the Rate Bill, there are, nevertheless, now required manifold modifications and additional specifications of the company's numerous and volumnious tariffs on file with the commission, and also supplements covering and revising all such switching charges of the company as relate to interstate commerce, most of which have heretofore been -regarded as essentially local in character, and not under the provisions of existing legislation, so related to interstate movements as to constitute an element thereof. "This work of formulating and preparing needed changes and modifications in existing tariff schedules and additional supplemental schedules has been so voluminous and expensive as to reculre the continuous and exclusive service of 20 clerks during the past three weeks. Fortunately this work was becrun so early that most. If not all. the tariff schedules will have been approved, printed and in the hands of the local agents for posting, and also filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission by or before August 28, when the Rate Bill will become effective." Although no extra elerlii have been taken on in the local freight offices, the present force has been kept busy making copies of the new rates.whlch will be sent to all shippers on this division. According to local officials the Pennsylvania system has not suffered by the new requirements as have some of the railroads, as their freight rates are practically uniform.
