They still think that the old czar is an immense chap, and that the Prussian idea of the iron heel is entirely 0. K. as applied to American labor. They believe that it is all right for them to or- ganize and to consolidate and even to monopolize a public utility, But their gmployes must not have the privilege of bargaining collectively. Poor tyrants—they have missed their day. They know not that their day is doomed, They have refused to give the plainest courtesy to the federal mediation board and have ruthlessly discharged employes before mediation could begin.

Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Company, Seattle, Washington, Gentlemen: I am a stockholder of yout Company, and every time you allow any person in Seattle to ride on your street cars for only 5 cents you give away some more of my money. I worked hard for every cent I invested in Seattle’s street car system, and I know that Seattle and its people are too great to stoop to any longer using my money without even paying the interest on my in- vestment. Have you told them that my investment in Preferred Stock of your Company de- clined from 185 to only 35? Have you told them that I AM RECEIV- ING NO INTEREST ON MY INVEST- MENT? When I sent my money to you I did my bit to help Seattle become one of the world’s greatest cities. Surely the people of Seattle do not know that they are using your stock- holders’ money without even paying interest on it. Yours truly, VAN WAGENEN ALLING, 1218 No. 8 So. Dearborn St., Chicago. The above letter, which speaks for itself, was recently received by this Company. PUGET SOUND TRACTION, LIGHT & POWER :CO.
