Philadelphia, March 6. The great
car strike has been one of the most re
markable labor troubles In the history
of the country In many respects. The
Immediate resort to violence by the
strikers or their sympathizers was one
of the features of this strike. Usually
In such controversies rioting and de-'
structlon of property does not come un
til the strike has been In progress for
some time, and bitterness has been in
consequence produced, but in Philadel
phia tho trouble began on the first day
of the strike.

the crowd of moneyed men with whom
they are associated, are Burnham of
Connecticut, Sutherland of Utah. Craw
ford of South Dakota, Dixon and Car
ton of Montana, Richardson of Dela
ware. Frye of Maine, Bailey of Texas
(whom some would put in the million
aire class). Chamberlain of Oregon, Mc
Cumber of North Dakota and Lorlmer
of Illinois.
These rich men of the senate own
between them pretty close to a quarter
of a billion dollars, which Is rather
above the average of wealth In the
United States.

loose from their fastenings and cases badly
damaged and scratched. One piano badly

This piano is displayed in the window of the

The balance of the pianos, while damaged as
far as the cases are concerned, are not injured
in any way as far as their musical and playing
qualities are concerned.
We have made claims for damages to the
railroad for the entire carload of 20 pianos and
they have promised an early adjustment of the
claim.

Distribution of Oil Wealth.
Portland. March 4 To the Editor of
The Journal The profit system under
modern Improved methods of production
has come to Its logical conclusion or
end. When by means of modern dla
coveries and Inventions one mail, and in
many cases a child, can touch a button
turn on power, put In motion and oper
ate a machine that can and does pro
duce as much as 10 men can and do con
aume the necessity for redistribution of
surplus values, wealth, la not hard to
find by Intelligent thinking men and
women. These conditions apply to all
Improved methods of production which
now dominate every line of Industry.
It then logically follows that but one
tenth of our producing force can be en
gaged in producing for our use or con
sumption. As long as the remaining pro.
ducing force of the government can be
engaged In the production of this ma
chine or other contingencies to our wel
fare causing reinvestments, profits are
i redistributed and stagnation Is avoided.
Th very moment that thess channels
fall to- carry the' necesaary return in
the (employment of labor .stagnation,
unemployment and panics ensue. Buxli
Is the condition with the wealth of John
D. and sooloiy today, ,
It Is said Ihat during- the reign -of the -Roman
government the congested wealth
of the nation was .redistributed three
tlmea before the final fall of the gov
eminent. K Title Is being duplicated In
the trust Investigations now under con
sideration by title government.
It is not that John wants to give
away his accumulated wealth, but' that
he la forced to do so in order that the
profit system In the management of
production may continue andspiot ab
ruptly end.
Let us remark right here that while
John I). Is feigning to distribute gra
tuitously thl unearned Inorement, sur
plus .value, .or. WlYU.'rtunefss you
may wish to call It, he Is very careful
that It be handed to the middle and leis
ure Class In the way of Increased edu
cational facilities of those classes and
that It continues the old system of
profit taking for the reacouinulatlon of
private fortunes. Well he knows that
wlth-Uia, gxiB.Xac.irftXiJUaJi.oJiili.en.-"?
clety he or his heirs can absorb and ac
cumulate through the channels of sur
plus value of all Immediate future pro
duction and again replace his private
fortune at his pleasure.
Only those who have studied tms
questlonu as defined In the Marxian sci
ence of surplus valuo can understand
the true reason for his action In this
proposition.
The informed of the so called middle
and leisure class understand this per
fectly, hence John D. heeds their Advise.
To acknowledge this fact would be to
admit of the correctness of the Marxian -laws
and the Socialist principles of gov
ernment and would revolutionise social
conditions. .
All of the wise know these things to
be true, and the social "drift" who allow
others to do their thinking for them sre
not aware of the facta and wonder at
John's magnanimous generosity, consid
ering him to be very, very charitable,
where a Just right of replevin, for dis
tribution, would give It to the people
that created it.
Socialists understand these facts, and
will yet give out that Information t
every person In a way that it will be
understood and appreciated by and
through the study of correct principles
for the management of society.
It is coming. C. W. BARZEE.

The Colorado Warm Blast.
Representative Taylor of Colorado
takes every opportunity to elaborate on
the beauties, resources, etc.. of his state.
He says that there is not a state in
the I'nlon that ha one-half the variety
or aggregate amount of the natural
resources that la within the state of
Colorado.
The climate excels that of all other
states in proportion as It exceeds In
altitude. The soil, climate and moun
tain streams make the agricultural and
horticultural resources the garden spot
of the nation. Colorado exports apples
to London, where they top the market
of anything that has ever been known
In the United States, both In price and
quality.
The precious metals exceed the out
put of any other state, and the coal and
water power are sufficient to run an
empire for a thousand years. He ends
up an Interesting talk on the state
with the statement that Colorado Is the
brightest Jewel set In the crest of this
continent, where she shines as the Koh-
inoor of all the gems of this Union.
Here is your chance for a large savingin price.
We cannot ship the pianos back to the factory to be refinished. Freight and
time prevent and we need the stock.
To those who are not particular about the case, but want a fine piano, a fine
tone and action, absolutely durability and want to save from $100 to $150 on
a new piano, here is your opportunity.
One piano $110, another $145, others from $190 upward according to the
amount of damage done to the cases.
This sale begins 9 a. rn., Monday, March 7, 1910, and is the greatest money
saving sale of pianos ever held in Portland.
Payments will be made to suit the convenience of customers.
A small first payment and easy monthly payments for the balance secures one
of these fine instruments.
Do not miss this opportunity; call early and make selection of pianos show
ing least damage. ' .
TTrgs paolflo Defense
The 13 senators ajid members of the
house representing the states of Wash
ington, Oregon and California, through
a committee of which 8enator Piles Is
chairman, have taken up with the pres
ident and Secretary Meyer the question
of providing. In the pending naval ap
propriation bill, for more adequate pro
tection to their coast line. The entire
delegation la a unit In urging better
defenae for the Pacific all the way from
Seattle to San Pedro, which Is the port
of Los Angeles. They have outlined a
plan which has the support of the com
mercial bodies of all the leading coast
cities and has been laid before the house
committee on naval affairs.
Discussing the situation with regard
to the defenses of the Pacific, and in
line with the argument made to the
president. Senator Plies says:
"Our people realize that the coast de
fenses of the Pacific are Incomplete and
have not even an adequate manning de
tail, but aside from this fact there Is
a long stretch of coast line from north
to south entirely unprotected. To meet
this condition we believe that there
should be provided a mobile defense
which can best be done by a fleet of
submarine torpedo boats. The agita
tion for this sort of defense has been
going on with our people for more than
seven years, and although there are
now 27 such boats In the navy or build
ing, there are only four on the Paclflo
Coast. Two of these are under con
struction at Seattle and two at San
Francisco, even less than are stationed
In the Philippines."

necessary. Remember, you cannot be too particular about your plate; the best
is a comfort, and the other kind almost worse than nothing.
