INDUSTRIAL
 COMMISSION
By Peter Racford

The recent investigation of the United States Commission Of Indus trial Relations brought together the extremes Of society and has given the public an opportunity to view the rep resentauves of distinct classes. side by side. and co study their views in parallel columns.
 Capital and labor have always been glariug at each other over gulfs of misunderstanding and if the Federal Industrial Commission attempts to bridge the chasm. it will render tho public a distinct service.
 The farmer has been sitting on the fence watching capital and labor fight for many years and incidentally furn- ishing the sinews Of war and it is quite gratifying to find them talking with, instead Of about, each other. When honest men smile and look into each others souls. it always makes tbe world better and far more satis- factory tO the farmer. who in the end. bears the burden of conflict than resolutions. speeches or pamphlets containing charges and counter charges.
 The love for justice makes the whole world kin. Understanding is an arbiter far more powerful than the mandates of government for there is no authority quite SO commanding as an honest conscience; there is no de- cree quite SO binding as that of the Supreme Court of Common Sense and no sheriff can keep the peace quite 80 perfect as Understanding.
 We suppose the time will never come when capital and labor win not be occasionally blinded by the light. nlng flashes of ayarice or frightened by the thunder peals of discontent But Understanding Is a Prince of Peace that ever holds out the olive branch to men who want to do right A man income is always a sacred thing for in .t are the hope, ambition and opportunity of himself and fam. fly, Dut there is nothing in a human heart quite SO divine as Justice and Understanding is its handmaideu.

THE BATTLE OF

 lt is interesting tO watch the forces of civilization battling for supremacy. The struggle now going on between the rubber and the iron tire promises to be the liveliest contest of the Twen. tieth Century
 The struggle is a silent one and there are no war correspondents to write vivid descriptions of the con fiict but the results are more far reaching to present and future gen erations than the war of Europe
 The rubber tire hes been maneuver. ing for point Of attack for several years and has captured a few unim. portant positions in traffic but 1t has now pitched decisive battle with it's iron competitor by hurling a mil. lion 'jitneys' at the street railways and the battle is raging from ocean Co ocean Upon the result of the struggle depends the future of the rubber tire 1T it is compelled to re- treat its doom is sealed but if 1t wins the battle it will revolutionize the transportation methods of this nation
 If the rubber tire conQuers the street traffic its next struggle is with the railroads Of tho country and then the greatest battle between economic forces ever fought out on the face of this earth is on for iron Is the un. disputed master in transportation, and IS fortified behind billions Of dollars and millions of men.
 Stephenson applied the steel tire to an iron rail in 1874 but it was 1869 before Che golden spike was driven at Promoutory Point which bound the country together with bands of steel lt took thc iron tire Gfty-fve years to creep from ocean to ocean but the rubber tire while warm from the creative mind Of the inventive genius sped across the continent like an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys ses The rcadbed was already pre- pared and therein lies the power oi the rubber tire over that of iron. for government builds and maintains the public highway.
 But iron is a stubborn metal and it has mastered every wheel thai turns, has fought battles with every element above and beneath the eartt and has never tasted the wormuoot of defeat, and when rubber hurls iu full force against this monarch o the Mineral Kingdom it may rcboun. to the factory stunned beyond recog cry.
