of the farmers' union put forward this
proposition:
"If congress in its wisdom sees fit
to give these railroad men their de

any of these classes of workers as to
the railroad employes, if the masses
of the people are going to foot the

It i.s significant that while the rail
road workers insist on sharing the pro
fits of the railroads, they do not pro
pose to share any deficit that occurs
in operating the roads. The railroad
employes do not intend to stand any
loss. but. to make their earnings as
high as possible at the expense of the
public. One of the brotherhood lead
ers objects to the plan of putting rail
rond profits back into the railroads in
the form of improvements. If the gov-
ernmeni ov.-nership, profit-sharing plan
were put into effect, it is possibe that
the railroad union men would divide
the railroad profits among themselves
and their operators. Then if it was

New York City's Big Structures Stand
on Land That Is of Sacred
Memory.
The land on which the Equitable
building stands, and the territory
around and about it, is of sacred mffln
ory so far as early American history
is concerned. Just across the way on
Broadway was Burns' coffee house,
where the Revolution really started.
Here was erected at a later date the
City hotel:, the scene of many memor
able functions during tlie early days
of the republic.
On the northeast corner of Nassau
and Cedar streets is a bronze tablet
which rerufe as follows:
On the site' of the present, subtreas
ury, at Pine, Nassau and Wall streets,
a new city hall! was erected in 1699. In
front of the building was a cage for
criminals, with whipping post and
stocks—but not the kind of stocks they
sell there now. When independence
was declared' the- building became the
capltol and was called Federal hall.
