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

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.

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.

The Telephone in
Business
By far the greater proportion of business today in this coun
try is transacted by telephone. It has become the , ordinary
means of securing prompt and satisfactory results in the busi
ness world. Many business firms are extending the use of
the telephone to include their transactions over the entire ter
ritory they serve. Buying and selling by long distance telephone
is bringing satisfactory results whenever tried.
The essential thing in sales work is service to your pa
trons. Use of long distance "lines will increase the efficiency of
your service and the expense will be less.
For service to all points ask for Pacific Long Distance.

It gives me great pleasure to announce that I have taken the agency
for the well known
J. E. TILT SHOE CO.'S.
LINE OF MEN'S SHOES
Most of you know already there is no better shoe made than the Tilt,
and considering the extremely high standard of workmanship and materials,
the prices are exceedingly reasonable.
Tilt shoes sell from $9 to $9.75 in the different leathers and lasts. I
want every man in this city to see these shoes, that he may personally judge
the fine quality and craftsmanship. I have a stock of Tilt shoes now in my
store at Third and Court streets, opposite the city hall. Every pair is guar
anteed. I also have cheaper lines or shoes, but I am sure you will be more
than satisfied with the unusual value3 shown in this particular line.
In most places Tilt shoes are priced from $2 to $3 more than I am asking.
Come in apd let me fit -you to a good comfortable stylish shoe.
JUST A WORD TO YOU MEN
WITH BIG FEET (
You want something with a broad toe and
yet something stylish. I can recommend Tilt's
