A Fortunate ProviSo.

1t is fortunate that the tariff bill itself defeats
its own clause granting a preference to American
vessels. The Attorney General finds an easy way
out for the administration from the embarrassment
which this i'll conceived clause would have occa-
stoned He condemns the plan, not because 1t
would be unconstitutional on any intrinsic
ground, but because 1t is prescribed by clause
of the tariff bill itself which provides that nothing
i'm it shall be so construed to abrogate, impair
or in any way affect treaty. He holds that the
preference plan would affect many treaties and
that therefore it must not be applied
We might wish that a similar proviso had been
inserted in various other laws the operation OF
which has affected treaties In some cases the
laws have had that effect unintenionally and such
n proyiso would thus have averted undesred re-
suits We should dislike to think that any law
had been made for the purpose of overriding a
treaty. for even If treaty is bad and should be
modified or abrogated it should be dealt with de-
Gently and in order as a mutual contract between
two powers and not as something that one OF the
signatories can tear up at will.
In any case it would be a good thing TO have
such proyiso inserted in law which might other
wise affect a treaty in order that the distinction
between domestic laws and foreign treaties may
be accurately and unfailingy observed.

High Cost of Living, Wages and Rates

The arbitration commission headed by Mr. Seth
Low bases its report in favor Of an increase OF
wages for the railroad conductors and trainmen
primarily on the increased cost Of living. The
commission finds that the cost Of living for wage
earners such these has increased per cent since
1910 the time of the last wage adjustment 1t
awards per cent additional wages. 1t holds that
this award closes cycle of wage increases among
railway employees, but this fact offers no hope of
relief for the railroads. since the cost Of living
keeps on going up and a new cycle of demands will
no doubt soon be opened.
But since the increased cost Of living is a good
ground for wage increases, why is not it equally
good ground for freight rate increases? The rail
roads cost of living has gone up. This present
award sends it up again by total of S6O0,Oo0 "A
wear for the railroads in the Eastern territory.
The railroads should have the opportunity
for equitable treatment as their men, and should
be permitted to show the public authorities con-
trolling freight rates that their economies Of man
agement have not kept pace with their increasing
expense bills and that they too, need higher wages
from their paymaster, the public. Doubtless they
can do
Evidently the arbitration commission making the
present award thinks that they do so and
should be permitted to DO so, TOT IL says:
At the present time ton of freight is moved IN
the Eastern territory more than three miles Or. Il.
Elk 80 for the value of twO-cent postage stamp.
This is the cheapest railroad service to the shipper to
be found on the face of the globe. In the face Of
such fact il would be unjust to say that rail-
road employes must continue TO be satisfied only
with what can be paid from freight rates as low as
this The Interstate Commerce commission, and not
this arbitration board has the duty OF determining
whether the railroads earn in addition to their
other charges without increase of freight rates,
the rates of paw that this board believes TO be due
at the present time to the conductors and trainmen,
which rates are embodied in the award following.
