THE-UNEARNED INCREMENT The United Association of Railway Employes, organized in The Dalle3 last summer, has issued running or ders to railway men and their wlve, calculated to gather all them in Elks' temple Wednesday night for the first Grand ball given under its auspices. Many will ask, "What is this new organization? The United Associa tion of Railway Employes is a pro test against Hie unearned increment. It is aimed against expensive' or ganlzatlon and waste. It stands for economy and fair wages and proper working conditions? Human rights are exalted by it instead of property rights. , It is the one big union of railway men. There are now 15 unions of railway men. Each of these 16 unions has its own organization, its own officers and directors, its own expenses. Each! acts independently I for the good of one particular craft Thus it is seen that each prganl zatlon is expensively conducted. It is seen that certain men are paid big salaries for taking care of the interests of one craft. With a view to eliminating, much of this expense the United association is function ing. It hopes in time to bring all railway workers under one head, un der one set of officers and board of directors. A vast cut will thereby be made In expenses. Speaking generally, this unearned .increment thing is causing much of the unrest that flares through this and other lands. Some men are get ting too much for doing little, where as others who do much receive little. It is all very well to declare that in the main a man gets out of life what he put3 in. That will do for' a generality. But it doesn't always work in concrete cases, not by any means. We know earnest hard working men associated with certain firms ,for long years who are today nol much further advanced than they were in the beginning. They have not been getting their share of the profits. Consequently, they are in poor circumstances, whereas others who have been buying their talent are exalted in a financial sense. The unenrned increment is work ing for the men who benefit to the detriment of the other fellow. As a result of this condition, the fellow who puts in hard work and ability but gets little back, is dis gruntled. He is having a difficult, time to pay his bills. He has ai daughter or sou in the university, J perhaps maybe buying a little home. on the installment plan. And some one else takes what is a rightful return on his effort someone gets an unearned Increment. Thus the poor are growing poorer and the rich are becoming richer. The great middle class of America is disappearing. God help the nation If the middle class is eliminated by the faulty distribution of reward for service by the unearned increment One big reason why the United States has progressed far beyond Eu ropean and Oriental nations is taat this country bas a strong virile mid dle class a class of doers, ambitious ami full of enterprise. ' Yet if this ambitious and enter prising middle class which accom-iMltT- sMBt ft til I is pushed Mt three! kiac sarewerded for IU work, this nation will slump down to the par of European lands and Orien tal lands. ,. Progress here is largely a history of the middle class. The United Association of Railway Employes is a determined effort in concrete form to maintain the mid dle class that the United States 0 11U11 VUUllUUC 11 1VUU IUC TT - industry. It- is a plan to eliminate waste in high places. It sets, out to curtail I extravagance. It proposes to apply ' this waste so that the men who are now underpaid will get their just . deserts in the matter of pay. This I organization declares that every man I who does a dollar's worth of work shall receive a dollar In money and that those who do but 50 cents worth of work shall not receive a dollar for that service. Thus high costs are but a knockout blow -inasmuch as the public in the end must liquidate the, bill. The organization is young. It may succeed and it may not. But at all events its principle is right. Slain 6061 Bennett Taxi Main 01 tf LOOKING BACKWARD (Prom The Chronicle, April 25, 1896.) Mr. P. C. Sexton .has purchased a half interest in Mr. R. H. Darnielle's feed yard and the two will hereafter operate it jointly. e The citizens' meeting last night was sparsely attended, and little en thusiasm was manifested by those who did attend for or against the chemical engine. After a few desul tory remarks the meeting adjourned. iDr. H. W. Sturdevant, the aenuA.. wishes it distinctly understood that he does not intend changing his place of residence to Astoria or elaewhere. The report is abroad owing to the change of residence of T. P. Stuute vant. An attempted burglary wa3 made on the safe of Van Dyn, Adams & company at Tygh Sunday night. .The attempt to blow open the door was a failure, and the would-be robbers left without obtaining any money, n ittle merchandise abstracted from th'e store was the only loss, barring tho damage to the safe. No clue is known as to the burglars' Identity. Dr. Grant and party left this morn ing on the Regulator for Portland. Mr. Grant's photographer will take views along the river of the several points of interest, among them a precip itous rock on the Washington side, which has been termed "Dr. Grant's castle," r about 20 minutes' run from The Dalles. The views will be circu lated throughout the east, which will doubtless do much to induce immigra tion to this state. The orchestra disbanded last sight.
