PLEASING no TIE prRLIc.

THE fact that the strike of the railroad hreme has
- been averted is exceedingly pleasing to the pub
lie Nor is there any question that It also is pleas
ing the railroad officials and the fremen themselves
The railroads did not want their to strike and
the hremen did not to strike although Il is like
ly they would have done II the railroad officials
had consented arbitration Of the questions in dis
pute. IL Will be seen therefore that the outcome of
the controversy in the main is satisfactory all
cerned, and especially TO the shipping public, which
most concerned Il is true that Elisha Lee chair
man of the Conference Committee OF Railroad Man
ayers in his letter to Judge Knapp of the United States
Commerce Court and G. W. w. Hangar, Acting Com
missioner Of Labor, said that il only under the
strongest protest they able to voice that he and
his associates agreed to arbitrate the fremens
troyersy under the Erdman act That however counts
for nothing with the public Its chief concern was
that the strike and the business confusion paray
sis that was to attend 1t should be avoided
Mr.. Lee says the government, the public. is re-
sponsble for whatever the consequences may be- and
that question the public should seriously is
whether, in compelling the railroads TO arbitrate under
defective and inadequate law, and in thus securing
temporary convenience and accommodation, they are
not sacrificing their permanent welfare He insists
that the whole situation is I'm the hands Of the
Government and the people, who have taken it out
Of the hands Of the at time when the latter
hoped TO make a stand for the public good
We think that Mr. Lee should bear i'm mind that the
Government and the public did not compel the rail-
ROAD managers 10 90 anything or the sort Ihe repre-
senatives Of the Government made request,
and not a command that the questions in dispute be
submitted &C arhitrat aaaer the Erdmaa act There
compuslon. We think the general. public un-
dorstanding is that the managers held the situation in
hand until 1t had to the breaking point and that
having done they only too glad to escape
responsibility for precptatng strike by ,passng the
entire controversy to Erdman Arbitration
Board for final adjudication Those managers did not
want strike. They knew that il the iremen went out
it more than likely that the engineers also would
go out when non-union men put on in the places
of the striking iremen Nor did they have any assur-
that the trainmen would follow and that every
operating branch OF the service would be tied up The
Erdman act be defective and inadequate There
is this consolation, however; the present arbitration
will show its strong points and its weak points and
provide safe guide for amending the to make il
what It was intended to bean instrument enable
corporations and their employees settle their differ
without resort TO strike and the consequent dc
morslizatiCn Of the business Of innocent parties

cRIrrrNBFHc AND THE rEN.mOuR LAW.

TATE publish in another column today a long tats-
w mcat by E b. Grncnbcrg manager for the
Reynolds Candy Company, in which he sets forth his
objections certain features Of the Ten-Hour Work
Day bill for the protection of and girls in this
State Mr. Grifenbcrg says he is opposed to ten
hour day that the bill is so framed that it really
would reduce his establishments to eighthour day
basis; that his expenses would be increased fifty per
cent in the item OF employment and that the BILL
we're 70 become effective would naiet great hardship
upon him while at the time place restriction
upon others who are engaged largely in the line
of trade and who i'm constant competition with his
establishments. AS Mr.. Grinenbcg says positively
that he is in favor Of the ten-hour bill so far its
fundamental principle is concerned but that he does
not wish to have such a bill reduces shs stores TO
eight-hour day, think it would be the part of wis
dom for the members Of the Ten-Hour Law Committee
TO confer with him and what changes be made
that will enable him and others similarly situated to
work a ten-hour basis.
When a prominent merchant says positively that he
fayors ten-hour law. and that he does not think
girl should be worked longer than ten
day, he certainly lays exceedingly satisfac-
tory ground an understanding with those who are

win give ten-hour day TO the working women and
girls As we view IT, IT would not be wise polite to
lose such valuable measure simply because Of in
sistence upon provision that provides eighthour
day for and a ten-hour day for others. We have
supported the Tenour bill earnestly and still
port it and eager to It passed. It is too val
liable a piece OF legislation to be wrecked by an un-
