THE RAILROADS AND ARBITRATION

1t would seem that in view of uncertainties
concerning the outcome of injunction suits to
prevent the enforcement of the so-caled eight
hour law, the trainmen's Hrotherloods would
regret their rejection of the arbitration plan for
the settlement of their controversy with the
railroads. Developments of the last few days
have made it clear that the dispute not set
tied when the Adamson bill was passed, and it
is said pretty good authority, that, if a
strike to be called, none of the leading
railroad presidents would be surprised, not
withstanding the later more pacific talk Of the
brotherhood heads The roads cannot be
blamed for trying to stay the operation of the
law before the supreme court has decided the
question of constitutionality because, one
railway official pointed out, if the law went in
to effect January first and it were subsequent
ly declared invalid, there would be way for
the companies to recover the additional wages
that had been paid. They are bound to protect
their stockholders as far it is possible for
them to do so. If strike is forced, the roads
will have the sympathy of the public as long as
they stand for the principle of arbitration
which the president and congress ignored.
From the beginning Of the controversy they
have been willing to submit their case to arbi-
tration. They willing to do that now,
cording to one prominent executive. No other
method of settlement gives any assurance that
the rights of all the parties interested, includ-
ing the public, which ''pays the freight will
be protected

AMERICANS WILL TAKE A CHANCE.

News that more than five hundred thousand
dollars month is being invested by persons in
the United States in the monthly drawings in a
leading city of Germany must startle many
Americans. The impression had become well
set here that Germany had been so effectually
cut off from communication with this country
by the allies that the maintenance of such a
systematic traffic in lottery tickets or in any
other commodity was impossible But Sur
veyor Thomas F.. Rush of the port of New

duces a convincing looking supply of the
