There ve never any difficulty upon the part of any we! organized labor union to obtain loans ae sesh servative banking institutions, even thoug! ie Joans were for the purpose of financing stri ase Several authenticated instances are on recore where labor unions negotiated large loans from banks for the purpose of Waging strikes and se- n through the depositing of gilt- government bonds. tablished by organized by the Inter- cured the loa edged securities such as The first bank to pe ser s opened in Washington Se iaT A caneiktien of Machinists. The second | strictly labor union bank to be incorporated and opened was at Cleveland, Ohio. It was opened ‘by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and as the Brotherhood of Locomotive was known Engineers’ Cooperative National bank. This institution was so successful that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and other railroad brotherhoods have gone extensively into the banking business. They control the People’s | Co-operative State Bank at Hammond, Ind., aj bank in Minneapolis, one at Spokane, one at Pittsburgh, and it is announced that before ue elose of the year the railroad brotherhoods w il open banks in Cincinnati, New York City and in Boston, Mass., tho arrangements in each case now being practically complete, buildings being leased and capital stock subscribed. In addition to these banks which the railroad brotherhoods own outright, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers recently bought very heay- ily in the Empire Trust company of New York, one of the oldest financial institutions of that city, and representatives of the brotherhood will sit on the board side by side with men whose names have long been cited as “horrible exam- ples” by labor publications, Inspired by the banking success of the rail road brother! abor unions have gone into the banking b ather extensive ly. The Amo I othing Workers of New York State on of Labor, and the Inter- national Ladic rent Workers have opened banks in New City, The Brotherhood of Railway Telegraphers has opened a co-operative national bank in St. Louis. The Central Trade Unions of Philadelphia have opened a bank at that place. The Alab State Federation ol Labor controls the Federated Bank and Trust company of Birmingham. A number of local la- bor unions control a bank at Tueson, Ariz. Lo cal unions control a bank at San Bernadino, Gal., and Chicago labor unions operate the Am- algamated Trust and Savings bank of Chicago. Labor leaders deny there is any motive back of their entering the banking field other than the fact that it is sound policy. They believe that by depositing the tremendous funds of natic vods, oth and international labor organizations in labor | banks and by handling individual accounts of the members and friends of labor organizations they can consolidate the financial resources of organized labor in a perfect legitimate wuy and at the same time earn for the organizations owning these banks a very handsome return on the money invested. All the labor banks thus far are run on the perative plan, whereb dividends to stockholders are limited to a cer tain per cent and all earnings in excess of that are shared with all depositors. Stock Interests Protest Western stockmen are entering a vigorous pro- test against a proposed reduction of the tariff on Canadian cattle. One protest filed with west ern senators and congressmen as well as with the tariff commission states: “We are informed that thé American Farm ‘able to a stock-finishing industry. The natural pil Rice tac 8 ee at 2. The Casper Dally Tribune issued every evening and course is for the beef animals to be brought to ‘The Sunday Morning Tribune every Sunday, at Casper, ‘the best the} | up his own state first before he instructed others possible grass-fed condition and shipped to the American cornfeeder for final condition- ing. This process unites the grass lands of ‘Western Canada to the corn fields of the Miss- issippi valley, and is a mutually beneficial Fe lation. The tendency is for the numbers of our range cattle to decrease; and that is or probably will be the tendency in Canada. The time may come when we might wish it were otherwise but the chances are that Canada will not be able to increase materially the numbers of its range and perhaps even with free trade restored it will not be able to keep up the present propor- tion of its exports to the United States to the total number of cattle marketed in this coun- try.” Mr. Silver’s argument 4s predicated upon the fact that the bulk of the cattle coming from Can- ada are stockers and feeders. The cattle raised in the west are likewise principally stockers and feeders, that move to the feed lots of the corn belt states to be finished for beef, and the proposal made would simply increase the supply and still further reduce prices that are already forcing the range man out of business. It is not too much to say that a reduction of the tariff ns asked for by the American Farm Bureau Federation would be absolutely disas- trous to the people of the range country. The producer of the foundation of beef in this coun- try is entitled to consideration. He has gone through a disastrous and disheartening period has suffered more than any other. To increase his burden at this time would not only be an in- justice to him, but would force him out of busi- ness entirely, - It is also contended by the Farm Bureau thet if the Canadian growers continue to produce feeder cattle and are barred from American mar- kets, they will develop a trade with Eastern Canada and Great Britain to our detriment. |** Britain buys comparatively little meat from us. If the condition suggested were brought about so that Canada were shipping large quantities to Great Britain the result would be not increased | pu competition for the United States, but increased competition for the Argentine, where England at the present time buys most of its imported cattle, The entire application seems framed with the welfare of the Canadian and not the American cattle grower in mind. It is a matter of no small wonder to the Western American cattle growers that the American Farm Bureau Feder- ation is so ardent in its championship of the Canadian cattle man and so entirely oblivious to the distress of their own countrymen. We believe that the cattle tariff should be a protective and not a revenue tariff. That the present tariff does operate as a resriction on the importation of nadian cattle is demonstrated by the filing of the Farm Bureau’s application. The producer of cattle in this country is entitled to protection from his government, at least to the same extent as a “manufacturer,” as Mr. Silver calls the cattle feeder. The American producer of livestock pays taxes upon his land, upon his cattle, and upon his in- come for the support of his state and national governments. His competitor in Canada pays no taxes for the support of this government, which is one very good reason why the American pro ducer should be given an advantage over his foreign competitor. We can see no legitimate reason for allowing Canada to dump its surplus |! supply of cattle on us when we already have a surplus supply for which we are having great difficulty in finding a market. So long as America produces a surplus of beef, a tariff sufficiently high to exclude all foreign livestock, should be the settled policy of the Unit- ed States; and the application of the Farm Bu- reau Federation for nullification of or change in the present Rrotective tariff, should be denied. cs Misses an Opportunity Ever since the governor’s cenvention open sea- son on Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, has been enjoyed by the press of the country, Living in a glass house himself he would throw stones 1t President Coolidge, in the matter of prohibi- tion enforcement. His suggestion that the presi- dent take personal cha prohibition is what might be called the magnificent gesture. It was Former Governor Allen of Kansas that came for- ward at this juncture with the very significant suggestion that the Pennsylvania governor mop in the fine art of enforcement. Governor Allen declared in so many words that if he had ordered the Philadelphia saloons to close, as Governor Pinchot did and they dis- obeyed him as they have disobeyed Governor Pinchot, he would have the military on the job the next morning. And in this attitude Henry Allen is more than right. Governor Pinchot is the executive of the com- monwealth of Pennsylvania. It is his duty and he has ample power to enforce the law and he |was clearly within the law in ordering the sa- loons to close. 1t was not necessary to institute court action because that would merely amount | to having the courts order the saloons to close. |; fhe closing was not a matter for judicial deter- mination because there was no question of their} being open ‘in defiance of the law, and when the |! aw is openely defied it is strictly a police mat- ter to enforce it, What is significant is that presidential aspi- rants are on the side of enforcement, which is u pretty clear inference that they believe the pre- || ponderance of public sentiment to be on the side| of enforcement. If this were so, congress will || jhaye to consider the question of enforcement | more seriously than it has done heretofore.
