Railroad and Union Proposals.

IL is difficult to understand how the rail-
road operatives now negotiating with the
eastern transportation companies can JUS
tify a refusal TO go into an arbitration on
their demands on the ground that the cor
porations wish 10 refer to the same body
of unIpires certain questions now in dis
pute beyond the scope Of the claims of
the men. Surely 1t is quite as important
TO secure an arbitral decision on the con-
tentions OF the railroads as on the con-
tentions of the men. OF what ADVANTAGE
would II be to confine the immediate arbi-
tration to the questions raised by the
operatives only to have new arbitration
precipitated in a short time. perhaps i'm
mediately. on matters which the railroads
themselves deem worthy of adjudication.
Is arbitration to be only for one side of
the industrial equation? Already IL is
sided to the extent that the railroads
are virtually compelled to accept n de-
cision rendered under the Erdman act.
while the unions are not sb compelled.
and they can reject the award and strike
after ii has been rendered. There is in
the present state OF the law no power
TO compel acceptance on the part of the
workmea. for the organizations repre-
senting them have no such existence in

law as to subject them to judicial require
ment To urge that only the demands OF
operatives are to be presented to arbitra-
tors is either to deprive the railroads OF
the right of adjustment or to force them
to adopt arbitrary measures of decision
almost inevitably leading to strikes.
1t is said on behalf of the operatives at
this time that the railroads proposals
have been presented suddenly. without
warning, and therefore with no opportu-
nifty on the part of the unions to prepare
to meet them. Surely the board of arbi-
tration organized to consider this present
issue will give the operatives ample op-
portunity to prepare their case If the
whole question of wages and working
conditions is opened. with the demands
of the operatives opposed by the aues-
tons and proposals of the companies.
There will be no public patience with
the unions IL they insist upon the eXciu-
sion of the railroad companies proposals
from the contemplated arbitration, with
a strike resulting from this refusal to go
into court on the basis of the respective
contentious of the two sides. A strike In
such conditions would lack the essential
of popular approval and support If the
demands of the men are fair and edui-
table they will bear scrutiny in the light
of the propositions advanced by the rail-
roads The suspicion is created by the
present attitude of the unions that it is
feared that if the railroad companies
propositions are excluded the wage scale
will be fixed BY the arbitrator irrespec-
tive of the equities which the corporations
now seek TO establish and once fixed. will
not he changed if later the companies Sc
cure second arbitration to pass upon their
propositions All considerations of fair
ness and common sense would seem to de-
rnand that the whole case be submitted
10 one arbitration. to effect with the least
possible delay the best working basis ana
understanding between the companies
and their operatives.

The Bones of Columbus.

Assistant Secretary Osborne OF the
State Department brings an interesting
and important if true" story from Santo
Domingo TO the effect that the remains
of Columbus. heretofore supposed TO
have been inferred in Spain, are in reality
reposing in the cathedral at the Domin-
lean capital This is probably the be-
ginning of controversy. the outcome OF
which will he awaited with interest. in
cidentaIly Mr.. Osborne makes the sug-
Gestion. which is worthy of consideration.
that the bones OF the great discoverer be
placed upon the first ship that passes
through the Isthmian canal. There is a
certain appropriateness about this pro-
posal which will be appreciated by any
one who remembers that when Columbus
started out from Palos it was with the
idea of finding shorter route to the In
dies than that which had been previously
followed, by way OF Cape of Good Hope
and the Indian ocean. The existence of
a great continent or brace of continents
stretching unbroken from the arctic al
most to the antarctic seas was unsus-
pected by the yoyagers. Had there been
then a break in this continental reach at
Panama Columbus would probably have
found il and would have gone on toward
India. though he would have discovered
the way long and dangerous and unprof-
liable. He did not know that beyond the
new world stretched the greatest of all
the oceans. which he would have to cross

which lay in his path To take his bones

four and a quarter centuries. the people

The Tour to Washington.
From the Boston Advertiser.


The advocates of woman suffrage who
have engineered the automobile tour 10
Washington have hit upon d very pic
turesque means of bringing their claims
to attention. No town through which
they pass can fail to notice their enthusi-
asm and great many persons Will De
led to give serious thought to their argu-
ments who would not have otherwise
noticed what they have to say. The
whole country is open-minded toward
the suffragettes and is very willing to give
them fair hearing, and there should De
no doubt that they will command respect
and attention from the lawmakers when
they reach Washington. But as the
cause has been advanced in good many
states to the stage of trial, it is probable
that the question of woman suffrage viii
be Judged quite as much by the way In
which women vote as by the parades &c
which the advocates of the cause are
much given.

Closure in the New" Senate.
ON the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
in the bad old days when the United
States Senate was a millionaireS' club in
popular estimation, government by cour-
tesy. or unanimous consent, was a cher
ished institution Jimita ton of debate
How rude and cheap The party leaders
had UNDERSTANDINGS, and when they were
ready to stop talk, everybody, except al
occasional intruder. stopped talk. The
system satisfied every body-the people
alone excepted, But We have a new Sen
ate, a Senate which rcvises House tariff
bills downward, which investigates lob
bying In its own camp, and such a Sen
ate should realize the absurdity of its
old rules or absence of rules. Such q
Senate should provide for proper limita-
ton of debate, for the prevention OF
filbustering and individual Strikes

Congress and the Currency.

Evidently the currency reform oil as

defended il more stoutiy.
The maueuver Is proving successful. IN
that the Public is alive 10 the subject ana
Tho bill is under searching examination
Those III charge are hearing from the
business world and needing some of the
suggestions offered. Changes in the bill
have been made and others are IN CON
templation. The measure as II passes the
House will differ materially from the
measure as first proposed.
Later will come the test in the Senate
and il is a safe prediction that changes
will be made there. Consider the action
in the case of the tariff The House ma
1oritv stood firmly for its duties and
schedules and asked the Senate TO &C
cept its bill But the finance committee
of the Senate went through the measure
paragraph by paragraph. and made many
changes for which in its report today IT
gives reasons. And the Senate in open
debate may make other changes
The fact is. as has been repeatedly
stated. the currency problem is more diff
politician than the tariff. II makes sharp
er divisions in both the business world
and the political world than the tariff, the
trusts, or any other issue prominently
before the country. Bankers divide on it.
Merchants are at odds And as for the
politicians the fact is that the great ma
iorIty of them not only have no advice
To give. but arc misty about advice Of
fered by those supposedly competent to
advise.
All things considered is currency re-
form likely at this session? For six weeks
ut least the Senate will be occupied with
the tariff The minority has no bill, but
is full of objections TO the majority's bill.
and these will be offered and emphasized
in way to compel the majority to be
at attention.
The Senate. then, at the close of the
tariff debate will for the first time be able
10 give undivided consideration to cur
rency reform. and will require little
time to go over the subject in the light
OF what the House may have done.
recess of month after the tariff bill has
been disposed of is suggested. But even
if that is taken. and the time is devoted
to a study of the currency, weeks will
be required after Congress reassembles
for the Senate to pass upon the PROPOSE
ton.

Gov. Foss and the Tariff.

Gov. Foss is said to be considering the
question of fourth term, and somewhat
with the view of laying the foundation
for a presidential boom for 1916. He is
popular in Massachusetts,, as the result
of his course in the governorship, and
some republicans as we'll as democrats
venture the prediction that if he stands
again this year he will be elected.
At the same time it Is stated that a
manufacturing plant in which the gov
ernor is interested will be transferred
from Massachusetts to Canada, in order
to escape the injury which 1t is believed
the Underwood tariff bill will infiict on
such industries.
Business. of course. is business. Man
ufacturers are not at work for their
health. and if Canada invites them with
terms more alluring than those offered
in this country. many may be expected
to accept the invitation. 1t is reported,
indeed. that many have already accepted,
and that large blocks OF American CAPT.
tai are now employed In Canada.
Still. Gov. Foss is more than a bust
ness man. He Is q politician as we'll,
and as such must study other interests
besides his own. He must consider
American conditions, and when they are
not satisfactory to the American welfare
he must labor to make them SO. Where
the dollar Is the heart is, and IL Gov.
Foss' personal capital Is transferred to
Canada the prosperity of that country
may become his dominating thought.
The Massachusetts, executive does not
like the Underwood bill. He has for
some years advocated downward re-
vision of the tariff-in fact, he went over
from the republicans to the democrats
on that proposition. He supported the
democratic national ticket last year. But

When all the noise is stopped.

And mute will be each bird.

A Dangerous Safety Isle.

Objection has been raised against the
so-caIled isle of safety at the corner
of 18th street and New York avenue. con-
sisting of large circle formed by stakes
and ropes at the point where the con-
vergence of three streets leaves an ex
tensive stretch of asphalt. The purpose
of this circle was to provide a place of
shelter for pedestrians. The idea is an
excellent one inasmuch as there is at that
point no bit of parking to break the ex-
panse OF asphalt for the benefit Of those
crossing the street But whoever drew
the circle had a most liberal idea of the
needs of the pedestrian and quite failed
to take into account the vehicular traffic.
as the diagram which was printed in
The Star yesterday clearly demonstrated
On the line running north and south less
space is permitted between the circle
and the curb than is granted between
curbs below the intersection of 18th and
III streets. In the same way on the line
running east and west the circle en-
croaches upon the street space and mar
rows il as compared with the driving
space in II street east of 18th. But the
most remarkable effect of the safety isle
Is on the north side. where the barrier
reaches to within about four feet of the
car tracks. If vehicles going east on
New York avenue at this point follow the
natural line of traffic they must go OH the
tracks. 1t Is announced that this isle of
safety is officially regarded as a ''circle, ="
TO be negotiated under the traffic regula-
tions by the '.gyratory' method, that is
to say, with vehicles passing east on
New York avenue making a detour
around the south and east sides of the
circle Arrests have already been made
for violations OF this ruling, of which
no warning had been given. This
is a totally unnecessary interruption
of the ordinary course of the traf-
fic, especially as the channels on the
south and east are narrowed. Convenient
as the circle may be for the assemblage
of pedestrians with no particular objec-
tive or for the drilling of organiza tons. it
proves in practice to be actually a source
of danger, and the Commissioners should
promptly cause it's contraction to reason
able proportions SO as to restore the full
widths of the streets for vehicular traffic
at this busy point Certainly before the
permanent curbing is laid the matter
should be more thoughtfully studied, with
consideration for the needs of all classes
of street users.
