RAILROADS WORRY I
OVER STRIKE TALK

Apmpos Of the big coal strike
which is now threatened the rail-
roads are worried to a great extent
as it is generally believed that ii the
strike is declared, as now seems prob
able, the railroads win soon be tied
up and WILDE unable to handle The
immense business they are expect
ing during the spring and summer.
The Baltimore and Ohio and Penn
slyvania andsothef roads in this sec
ton fear the outcome of the propos-
IA strike. and this matter has been
the cause Of number Of serious
between the traffic Of
ficials during the past week,
Most of the railroads are.witaout
facilities to store coal in large
enough quantities to enable them to
meet a strike Of any duration. The
Pennsylvania railroad. it is estimate
ed. uses about SIS, 100000 worth III
coal annually, and other roads con-
sumo correspondingly large quFn-
titles Of the fuel. The Baltimore
and Ohio would feel a shortage OF
coal as son as the Pennsylvania. II
mot soner. All the roads which have
large mining operations along their
lines would promptly confiscate
EVERY bushel Of coal that they could.
ret their hands on, and the roads
which dependupon affiliated or other
lines for their supply would soon be
Without coal, or would get it in such
small quantities as to almost tie up
freight traffic. This would be par
Iticularly disastrous at this time,
when only a brief hindrance OF free
movement would undoubtedly be fol
lowed by a lengthy period Of congcs-
Ition. a condition which all the roads
have been fortunate in avoiding Tor
more than year

Presidents Memorial Day Speech
Eu/ogizes The Army and Navy

resolution the hunger and the heat
and the cold. the scorching days and
the freezing nights. the grinding,
heartbreaking fatigue of the marches.
the wearisome monOtony of the camps,
and the slow suffering of the field
hospitals. So in the army and navy
today, in the last analysis we must
depend upon having the right stuff in
the enlisted man and then upon hav-
ing that stuff put into proper shape.
So again in our republic as whole
it is just as true in peace now as it
was fOrty-f1ve years ago in war that
it is the character of the average man
that must be the determining factor
in achieving national success or going
down to national disaster. Leadership
is necessary in order that we may get
really good results out of high aver
age of individual character: but with
out the high character in the average
individual the leadership by itself can
avail but little.
Now it is easy to say this in words
which shall imply merely flattery of
the average voter or of the average
enlisted man. l certainly do not in
tend my words to be SO taken 1t is
a sure sign of weakness in any man
if he is always wanting to be flattered,
and especially if he lets his head be
turned by. flattery. The average voter
needs to learn and to keep steadily
in mind the fact that if in the last
resort the real power is his, so in
the last resort the real responsibility
is his. He can not cast off on anyone
else the responsibility for our govern
mental shortcomings Nothing is
cheaper than to say that the people
are all right but that the politicians
are all wrong. AS a matter of fact
politics, and therefore politicians, will
in the long run represent faithfully
either the wishes or the Indifference
of the people; and If the people are
Indifferent the results are just about
as bad as if they deliberately choose
to go wrong. So it is with the en-
listed man. When l call attention to
the high place he holds. and must
ever hold in the esteem of every SEN
sible man, do 1t less with the inten-
ton of emphasizing the respect due
him by outsiders than with the in
tention of making him realize the bur-
den of honorable obligation resting
"non his shoulders. BY unwearied eff
fort he must learn to do his duty,
whether that duty lies afloat or
ashore, whether it lies in the cavalry
or the infantry, in the gun turret or
in the engine room. He must be able
to handle himself and to handle the
formidable and delicate mechanism
intrusted to his care in such manner
that if ever it becomes his fortune to
take part in battle for the flag another
page shall be added to the many
which go to make up the long honor
roll of American history.
In closing ask your attention to
the fact that our soldiers and sailors
are able to do their duty in great
emergencies even other than those of
war. Recently the most appalling
disaster that has ever befallen any
city In our country. the most ap-
palling disaster that has befallen any
