The D. & H. Strike.

In the face of. two successful federal
mediations to prevent railroad strikes
the walk-out Of 5000 operatives Of the
Delaware and Hudson lines illustrates
the need Of a compulsory method
OF arbitration which will prevent
the disruption Of transport systems
upon which the public depend. This
strike was caused by the dismissal of
two men for disobedience Of orders and
the refusal of the company to reinstate
them on the demand of the union. Of
Fers of federal mediation were rejected
BY representative Of the operatives. who
declared that nothing short Of the
immediate restoration Of the discharged
men would satisfy them. The trouble
dates from last summer, when the
company discharged the engineer. con-
ductor and trainman of freight train,
one Of the cars of which jumped the
track and dragged for three miles and
a half. The company insisted that the
operatives were negligent in not hav-
ing noticed that the car was of the
track. while the men argued that the
morning was foggy and as the train
was light they had no way Of telling
that anything had happened. After
negotiations the company took back
one of the three men, but refused to
reinstate the others.
This is an issue that is susceptible
of easy adjudication by an unpreju-
diced arbitrator. 1t seems monstrous
to tie up q whole railroad system, and
impose suffering upon thousands of
people and inconvenience and loss upon
a multitude whose interests are de-
pendent upon the operation Of the rail-
road. simply because the justice Of an
administrative action in the enforce
ment Of discipline IL questioned. The
railroad company Is naturally DESTROYS
Of securing the highest degree of ef-
ficiency and trustworthiness on the
part OF the operatives. The men on
their part naturally resent what they
conceive to be an injustice. If there
ever was a field for effectual arbitra-
ton. on the theory that the operatives
are entitled to question the acts OF
the company. II is presented here. ano
failure TO bring about a settlement by
direct means in this case should serve
as an urgent argument for speeding Ut
national legislation along the line OF
compulsory arbitration.

Free Rides for Policemen.

Tomorrow subcommittee of the
House District committee will give
hearing on the bill now pending to
amend the public utilities commission
act so as to authorize and require the
street railway companies of the Dis
trict to give free transportation to
members of the police and fire depart
ments when in uniform. This legisla-
ton is necessary to restore a custom
which prevailed in this District for
many years. until prohibited by rulings
Interpretive of the public utilities COM
mission act. That decision has imposed
4 serious hardship upon the members of
the police and fire departments and has
operated against the interests of Wash
fngton by restricting the activities of
tie policemen and firemen. 1t is I'M
deniably desirable that these men
should be free to travel as quickly as
possible about the city. They are al
ways on duty. practically speaking. for
even when they are technically off duty
they are subject to call. The police
man who is on his way home from the
station house for his period of rest is
of police efficiency to stop and make an
sonal range. To do SO he must. if now
passenger on street car. sacrifice
the fare he has paid and pay another
after the arrest has been made AS Il
result of this Interpretation of the
statute policemen cannot but be less
acute to the call of duty when they
are riding at their own expense on the
cars The cost of the carfare which
these poorly paid men are required to
bear out of their own pockets is
burden on them Furthermore, there is
q lack of police protection on the cars.
Formerly when the policeman and fire
man rode free their presence on the
cars was a factor for the maintenance
of order. It has been suggested that
the District should pay for the carfare
OF the policemen and tiremen. but this
is really an impracticable proposition,
which cannot be worked out salts
factorily without very heavy expense.
1t costs nothing for the street railway
companies to carry the policemen and
firemen free. The cars are operated
whether they are riding or not, and
they do not take up space that could
be occupied by paying passengers, for
it is always understood that when rid
ing free these men never occupy seats
when passengers are standing. The
coupanies do not object to resuming
the former practice and there seems to
be no valid reason for opposing this
LEGISLATION, which will mean large
saving to the men, an Increase Of their
efficiency and an avoidance of need
legs burden of expense upon the Dis
trict funds if some way is sought to
have the municipality pay the fare.
1t is, of course, desirable that the
street railway companies should be
prohibited from granting favors to In
dividuals by carrying them free, out
this consideration surely does not oper-
ate to make it undesirable to transport
the policemen and f1remen without
cost

MI. Bryan and Diplomacy.

American criticism Of Mr.. Bryan as
Secretary of State has been reflected
In some Of the comment of foreign
newspapers on the subject. In England,
Germany, France and Russia the premier
Of the Wilson administration has been de-
scribed by the press as brilliant
orator and forceful agitator misplaced
In the Department Of State. Regret at
the choice has been expressed, and
speculation INDUCED in as to the con-
seauences. How could such man hope
to deal with duties for which he had
no shining qualifications?
Not, of course. as a distinct reply to
this comment. but fortunate in time
and subject was the dinner given Sat-
urday night In Mr.. Bryan's honor by
the House committee on foreign affairs.
Chairman Flood presided. and the
guests Included a large majority Of the
diplomats stationed in Washington.
The affair was one OF the most sue
cessful and enjoyable Of Its kind.
In introducing the guest OF honor for
a speech, Chairman Flood mentioned
his gifts, and his public services prior
to March last. and then said:
His greatest work. however, has been
accomplished since he became Secretary
Of state. BY temperament. intellectual
endowments. training. extensive travel
and deep knowledge Of foreign coun-
tries he came to the State Department

work of that position
This. 1t will be observed. takes issue
fatty with the American news which
has received so wide a foreign circula-
ton and acceptance. The very things
denied Mr. Bryan by his critics here at
home are credited to him by the chair
man of the House committee on foreign
affairs. Mr.. Flood, who has for years
been a follower Of Mr.. Bryan respect

This city passed a similar ordinance Ave

ApLA, e. STEVENSON DEAD.

Chicago-Adlai f. Stevenson, VICE
president Of the United States during
the second Cleveland administration.
died here late Saturday night at hos
pital. after an illness Of several
months. His three children were at his
bedside when death came.
Stevenson was IS years old. His
last illness followed five-months
vigil at the bedside OF his wife. who
died about six months ago. Steven
son suffered nervous breakdown,
and a month ago came to Chicago
frcm his home at Bloomington. ILL.,, for
treatment. His condition gradually
became worse and he entered a hos
pital. The burden OF his years and the
oppressive heat contributed to the ia
tai termination of his illness. He be-
came unconscious Friday morning and
was revived long enough to recognize
relatives. then relapsed. He was un-
conscious at the end.
The three children who survive him
and who were at his bedside are:
Lewis G. Stevenson, president Of the
Illinois Board OF Pardons. Mrs. Mar.
tina d. Hardin of Chicago. and Miss
Letitia Stevenson Of Bloomington.
