were sifted. boiled down and set forth.
side by side. it was apparent that
nothing definite had been accom-
plished and that the two committees
might continue their meetings indefi-
nitely without arriving at. any concur
sion whatsoever.
A Victory For Mediation.
1t was in such crises as these that
the mediation board was called upon
to step into the breach and calmly
and dispassionately review the situa-
ton and settle with Justice to both
sides the points Mt issue. In the case
of the threatened strike in the East.
when nearly every railroad there OPP
Grating was affected. the board OF
arbiters did valiant service. The strike
not only was averted. but Labor won
clear cut victory for its members
attached to the Brotherhoods OF En-
gineers and FiremeA. respectively.
were granted the principal demands
they had made and when all was con-
cluded this meant shorter hours with
better pay. After all that Is what
they sought and the minor points at
issue were dismissed.
President Wilson In The Breach.
Less than three months ago the
West and Middle West were convnlsed
with fears of big railroad strike in
their midsts. Again the enginemen
and fremen stood out for demands
which the railroads were not disposed
to grant without fight. The same
old threats of strikes were freely made
and for a time persons all over the
country momentarily expected the
word which would mean a complete
tie-up of all the lines operating
through the sections affected. This
meant a frightful congestion of freight
and at a time when crops were about
to move, as well as no end OF incon-
venience to those who desired to
travel, whether for business or pleas
ure When the situation became SO
acute that this lockout seemed newt
able, and there was a danger OF sert-
Gus interruption to the transmission
of mails, President Wilson stepped
into the breach and offered his serv-
ices as mediator. His offer was reaut-
" accepted and today the momentous
subject Is In his capable hands and
his ruling is eagerly awaited.
The West Virginia Strike.
The more violent OF the clashes be-
tween Capital and Labor. however.
have been confined to the mine dis
tricts and In several OF these the
conflict reached such proportions that
big loss OF life ensued In the ranks
OF strikers and the deputies who
sought to crush them. Conditions In
the west Virginia mines were 90
strained that COMMITTEES named by
Congress went to the strike scene and
Einterrogated an concerned. The Com

in the same breadth it is not my pur-
pose to connect the two. for all per-
sons of ordinary intelligence recog-
nize in the propounders of socialism
in this country some of the brightest,
most influential and highly cultured
men and women in this country. They
stand for their principles and invari-
ably advance arguments that are well
fortified with facts. The anarchist.
however. seemingly has no principle.
He worms his way into every situa-
ton where Capital and Labor are at
odds and his violent and fnfammatory
utterances draw around him motley
mobs that are as rule dispersed
with clubs and revolvers in the hands
of the police and deputy sheriffs. Or
gained Labor deeply deplores these
conditions and in all Justice 1t must
be said that they regret these OUT
bursts AS keenly as the better element
Of citizens residing in the communt-
ties where these conditions prevail.
The strikes for the last year have
covered a wide field of endeavor
Hundreds of thousands OF men. won-
en- and children have been thrown out
of employment and some OF these
lockouts extended over such long
period that suffering. want and
hunger, acute and poignant, followed.
In some cases Labor won its point
In others Capital trtumphed. But IN
the majority of cases cooler heads
prevailed and boards OF arbitration
were named to settle the differences
and arrive at some amicable agree
ment. In many instances settlement
was quickly reached. Others are still
pending and unless the unforeseen
arises some of the most momentous
problems Of the age will be settled
In this way.
A Strike That Would Paralyze Trade.
For time strike of the engineers
and firemen of the railroads operating
East of the Mississippi River seemed
Inevitable. Delegates appointed by
the enginernen and hremen conferred
with a committees harmed by the rail-
roads. These meetings were of such
deep seated moment that the public
awaited with bated breath each and
every word that trickled from the
council chamber. One day 4 would
be reported the operatives had gained
point The next this same public
would hear that the railroad Tnagnates
had remained adamant and refused
to bulge from. the stand they had
taken. Members Of both committees
