Working to Prevent q Strike.

Next Monday President Wilson Is to
meet representatives of the railroad oper-
atives and corporations which are now in
opposition in the matter of demands for
wage increases, and also members Of Con-
gress, in the hope of effecting an agree
ment upon a form of amendment of the
Erdman act that will pass Congress and
will operate to prevent a strike. This is
an excellent move in the direction of in
dustrial peace and will be OF immense
value to the country IL 1t succeeds.
There Is general feeling that an ef-
fective method of settling industrial dis
putes should be provided by law. The
present system has been proved made
quate. 1t Is not compulsory and there Is
no assurance that the findings of an
arbitral commission will be accepted. Just
now the mode OF adjustment is under the
ban of both labor and railroad disap-
prevail. Differences exist between the
House and Senate relative to the terms
OF the necessary amendment and q dead
lock has been created In the presence Of
which looms the menace Of railroad
strike involving at least 900 men and
threatening the complete paralysis Of the
transportation systems of the eastern
states.
In these circumstances dalliance with
the situation is an invitation to disaster
The President Is moving in the direction
OF industrial peace by getting together
representatives of labor and capital and
Congress. frank talk over the short
comings of the present statute and the
differences between the proposed amend
ments will probably lead the way to an
agreement that will prevent strike of
disastrous proportions. The fact that in
practically all such cases there is an ulti-
mate adjustment without conflict does
not warrant dependence upon the meth
DDS now provided for settlement. This
may prove to be the exceptional case of
irreconcilable difference. The narrow es.

The Summer Outings Charity.

For several years Washington has been
giving the mothers and children of the
poor summer outings that have been of
incalculable benefit in preventing sick
ness and distress. These women and
children. carefully selected to insure the
enjoyment of this outing by the most
worthy and needy, have been taken from
the city during the season of hot weather
and sent into the country, where they
have lived in well ordered camps, with
the best of food and watchful medical at
tendance to insure their health. In many
cases these outings have prevented Sc
rious illnesses that would have been
menace to the homes and the maintenance
of the families. They have lightened the
burdens borne by the wage earners and
have greatly contributed to the solution
of Washington's charity problem.
The summer camps have just been re-
opened for the season and money is
needed for their maintenance. Only
through popular subscriptions can this
good work be carried on, and the time
has come again for Washington to sub
scribe the funds required. There should
be no doubt of an abundant giving Of
money for this most beneficent charity.
The maintenance of the outing camps
cannot be classed as luxury. They are
an absolute necessity if the purpose of
charity is to prevent suffering and to
build up permanent self-support among
the poor. To give these women and chill
dren each two weeks of rest from house
hold duties and life in the city during
the heated term is not an experiment in
practical charity, for the good results are
definitely known. In numerous cases
homes that would have been wrecked by
sicknesses resulting from exposure to the
city heat have been saved. The men of
many families have been spared the ex-
pense of illness and have been encour
aged to continue their work of maintain
ing their homes. Women have been
strengthened for their own tasks and
children have been restored to health
This good work is under the direction
of the Associated Charities. and the
women and children who are sent into
the country have been under the observa-
ton of this most valuable organization, so
that their selection is matter of careful
choice to the end that the greatest good
may result from the camp experiences.
There is nothing haphazard about this.
and those who give to the fund can be
assured that every dollar will yield a
maximum of benefit to the community.
1t Is necessary to raise this fund early
in the season so that the management
of the camps may be planned for the en-
tire season without the anxiety of de-
pendence upon the chance of liberal or
meager receipts from week to week. Give
now and make sure that Camp Good
Will and Camp Pleasant do their utmost
for the aid of Washington's poor during
this present season.

All work is performed at the cost of

Altogether Beyond Him.

A leading New IoTk newspaper once
sent man to cover the big Baltimore
fire. He was specialist in what
some one has termed "marshaled ad
jectives," and he was depended upc..
to impart the necessary color" to the
leading story on the great conflagra
ton. With him were sent half dozen
other men TO get the detailed facts.
The descriptive writer fell in with
a party Of convivial spirits, and as the
fire kept spreading and relentlessly
eating into the vitals of the business
section of the city he kept moving
from saloon to saloon with his friends
As soon as one was burned out he
moved on the next Needless to say
no descriptive matter from his pen
was seeping into his New York office
from the wires
The managing editor was frantic
and began to lombard Baltimore with
a series Of frenzed kilograms. BY
some rare good luck one Of the mes
sages reached the descriptive writer

THURSDAY, AUGUST I, 1913.

Some figures compiled recently by
the Illinois Central Railroad Company
show the safety of passenger travel as
compared with trespassing on trains
and railway property.
Comparing the year 1912 with 1888 it
i. shown that there has been an in
crease of A. per cent, in the death rate
per million of population. an increase
of lis per cent, in the death rate due TO
murder and 60 per cent decrease in
the death rate due 20 passengers killed
in accidents to steam railway trains.
The accident statistics for the fiscal
year 1912 show that there was an aver
age of three-tenths of on passenger
killed in passenger train accidents each
day as against Jas persons killed each
day while trespassing. In other words
practically fifty times as many trespas-
sers were killed daily. This illustrates
the difference in hazards Of those who
walk on railroad tracks or dispute the
the right of way at crossings and those
who take passage on trains, fast or slow,
for journeys, long or short.
The heavy mortality due to trespass-
ing is shown in the quarterly accident
bulletins of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and that body has frequent.
~ called attention to this feature of its
reports. The bulletin for the last
quarter Of 1912 recently was issued.
Out of a total OF 2,6ll persons killed as
result OF accidents in October Novem-
Der and December last, 1887 are class
flied as trespassers. The casualty lists
and the burdens of the railroads would
be lightened greatly Il Americans could
be cured of the dangerous habit of tres
passing on railway property.
