'and impassable state during the en
, tire winter
Alter a stubborn fight in which
- r obstacle had apparently been re
moved to gain cement to finish ih?
'excavated area before th winter

I members of the city commission tbij

been blocked In their attempt to Rt
enough cement to finish the work Im
I mediately.

' "e have notified the state roaa
icommisslon that the cement companion
'have sent expert to make special test
I of the sand and gravel which Is to be
used for the work, and upon their re
jport that t material la unfit for
concrete work, further shipments of
cement will not be sent here ' Mayor.
Francis and memhars of the city com
mission said I
I Aftr careful consideration and an
alysls of the attempts to block our
work, we have arrived at th- conclu
sion that It Is a move on the part of
the cement companies to block our
work so that their materials may be
shipped to other points."
This conclusion la made evident
when it is explained that the sand anu
J gravel discarded by the cement com-,
panv expert? Is from the same pits'
from which materials which form a'
base to the north Ogden pave7nnts
nml other city pavements were taken.
I These- materials ha e proven excellent.
I In nil work completed and the north
. gden pavement is considered one of
I the best In the country." I
"We have a letter from the Utah
Sa les company, signed bv nalph E.
I Bristol president and treasurer, that
the sand and gravel which has been
I distributed along the north Washing-1
(ton project contains eight pfr cent silt
and therefore la unfit for the work, j
THINK II N Lit EX4 USE
However, the fact that other work
Is being donrt In other parts of the
state with gravel and sand I'ontatnlng
a greater percentage ot silt. leads us
to believe that this Is simply an x-cusi-
so that the cement componles can
avoid the vvork here and ship their ce
ment elsewhere.
' A signed report of tests m.ide by
the Portland Cement association on
j-.ind ,ind gr.v 1 being used or. other
projects now under construction shows
ithat no objection Is being made at
'other points, on account of evt n higher
silt contents. It also shows the fllmsv
foundation of the excuxe being made
to us.
'The cement companies themselves
ihrouch their own reports show ihat
tht Utah Hot Sprlngs-Brlgham pave

and gravel containing as hl:h as 8.'

WHY DO NOT RAILWAY EMPLOYES
BUY AMERICAN RAILROADS ?
I Why do not the railway employes

I plan, which lo but a part of the Bol
shevistic crusade for the destruction
of capitalism and the establishment
of the political and economic rule of
the proletariat, still goes on. If tho
employes of railways, coal mines and
other Industries really believe that
those who own them derive lmme-nse
profits from exploiting their employes,
why do not the workers buy the In
dustries in which they are employed
and get the profit for themselves?

"This question has been given In

Railway Age. "by the advance in the
wages of railway employes which re

Why do they not do I his and atvtpt.

money to do this.
"The total par value of railroad

CIT TO THRU l kS
But. they would not have to pa
par. The iverugc price at which the
stocks of twenty-five large railroad
systems were bought and sold In the
open market last week was $58. 50
Taking this ns the average market
price at present of the railway stocks
outstanding, all the stock could be
bought for I8.I61.000.0DO and one
half of It. or enough to give absolute
control, could be bought for $1 Ol'O,
oftO.OOo On this basis the railway
amployes by saving and investing their
recent Increase in wages In railroad
stocks, could acquire ownership of a
majority of the stock of all the rail-,
roads within three years.
''If the co-operallve organization
which we have suggested the em
ployes might form did not wish to In

simultaneously. It could acquire first
one railway and then another. Thu
combined outstanding stocks of tho
Nw York Central and the Pennsyl
vanlan In tho east, and the Atchison.
Topeka A- Sinta Fe and the I'nlon
Pacific In the west amount to less
than $1,417 000.000. If the employes
desired to acquire control first of the
ownership and management of only
these four great properties thev could
buy a majority of the stocks of all Of
them at par with their recent Increase
ln wages In fourteen months
HV BHITO BURDEN
"The financial power of the em
ployes of tho railways would be anor
mous If they would but save a com
pajcatlvel small part of their wages
and Invest them in securities The
same thing Is true of the workers in
all other lines of Industry. Why should
they carry on propaganda to get the
public to tax itself to buy and turn
over to working men the management
of the Industries in which the ure

are engaged in If they would onlv

ist, or from farm hand lo' farmer'.'
If the opportunities for profit are so
greal and working men an so suro
that their management of Industrv
would be more efficient than that of
the capitalists they should feel surf
that If they saved their money and
bought the capitalists out they would
have Just s good a chance of making

capitalist would have.
MARK PROPITKCY.
Never was there In a time In the
history of the L nlted States when the
wages of railway employes and other
1 workers were so large ln proportion
I to tho prices of railway and other
I securities as they are now. Never,
herefore, were conditions so favor-1
tiblo for the workers to acquire finan
cial control of the industries In which
I thev work and show how well they
'could manage them
"Of one thing we warn the workers
; now. however. . This Is. that If they
1 do save their wages and invest as
suggested, they will soon find that the
difficulty 'of making profits in busi
ness and the ease of Incurring losses
are much greater than they would ever
suspect from reading the literature of
