A DANGER TO ARBITRATION

The old mediation program, pro-
vided under the Erdman law, proved
wonderfully successful in settling
differences between railroads and
their employees. 1t provided for
mediation first, which almost always
succeeded; and after that, for arbi-
tration.
The Erdman act was expanded
into the present law, and until the
present case has been at least equal
ly successful. Arbitration has been
reserved as the last resort.
In the present instance, the ord'-
nary mediation proceeding has been
crowded aside, and the case taken
to the White House, for mediation
by the President. Mediation has
not produced its accustomed results;
and now one side in the controversy
insists upon arbitration, while the
other is not willing to accept it.
A most unfortunate outcome might
follow. Even to restore amity and
avoid a strike, would not compen-
safe for the sacrifice Of the principle
Of arbitration. That principle should
be maintained at all hazard, simply
because it is not humanity possible
to provide Presidential mediation in
all labor differences.

creating the shipping board. Whether
government investment in ships is
desirable or not, a properly consti-
tuted shipping board should be use
full in a great variety of ways. One
Of the things absolutely necessary
to lay foundation on which Ameri-
can shipping may be built up in a
healthy, safe, permanent fashion, is
more knowledge, better understand
ing, more intimate appreciation, Of
the requirements Of this country, the
program of other countries, the kind
Of competition to be met, and the
whole detail Of regulation and man.
agement.
This study Of the marine problem
in its widest scope should be made
by men fully equipped for it; and the
salary now carried by the bill Is not
one calculated to attract that kind of
men. The activities Of a properly
equipped shipping board would go
far to save the government owner
ship experiment from the disaster
that many critics fear; 1t would also
contribute a great deal to determine
the proper direction that our efforts
for maritime rehabilitation ought to
take.

THE SHIPPING BILL PASSED

The Administration has won its
long and determined fight by the
passage Of the shipping bill through
the Senate. This measure has been
earnestly opposed by large proper
tion of people who most sincerely
desire development of an American
merchant marine, but who are con-
fident that government ownership,
and possibly government operation,
do not constitute the correct
methods.
Whatever may be the right or
wrong at this point, there is one
thing about the legislation which
deserves the serious attention of the
conferees, to whom the measure now
goes. The House bill placed the
salaries of the shipping board men,
bers at $4,000 annually. The SEN
ate has cut this to $1,000.
No more important provision Is
e-ssinsS in the measure than that

THE ARMY BILL VETO

President Wilson's veto Of the
army appropriation bill ought not to
interfere seriously with the measure
becoming law. 1t appears that he
disapproved the measure because of
q provision that had been written
into the revision of the articles Of
war; a provision that he regarded
as generally subversive of discipline.
The general merits and character of
the legislation and Of the prepared
ness program it represents have not
been called in question. Aside from
this provision, which seems to have
had a. personal purpose, the Presi-
dent makes known that he approves
in general even the revision of the
articles of war.
There ought to be no complication
about the passage Of this measure.
It is reported that there will be an
effort to eliminate the entire revision
Of the articles of war, in which
case a contest may ensue. There ia
no justification for such an effort,
and 1t will not be believed, short of
absolute demonstration, that such a
condition will be allowed to arise.
That the President should have
authority to veto single provision
in an appropriation measure without
affecting the rest of the legislation
10 more than ever demonstrated by
this experience.

PERFECTIN0 STEEL RAILS

The hidden imperfections Of steel
rails have been responsible for a
large proportion of railroad acci-
dents. The railroad managers and
stesl makers have long sought means
to guard against these imperfec-
tions. 1t has been found in many
cases that a rail that looked per-
fectly sound contained a fssure
which could not possibly be detected.
American railroads have steadily
increased the weight and strength Of
their rails; but they have also cor
respondingly increased the weight Of
cars and locomotives to be carried
over them, and the proportion Of ac-
cidents due to bad rails is larger in
this country than in Europe. chiefly
on this account.
After long investigation and ex-
perimentation the New York Central
has perfected, it is announced, a
process for reheating rails that is
claimed to remedy these defects. De-
tails Of the process are not an
nounced; but it is said that the pro-
portion Of rail breaks has been re-
duced from one in 600 to one in
$4,000. This comes pretty near to
eliminating this cause of accidents.
Incidentally, it will remove an OBJ
lection to American rails which has
never been justifiable, because un-
der like conditions of traffic the
American rail sustains wear as well
as the Belgian or British.

Hot Stuff.

A clergyman was very fond Of a par
ticularly hot brand Of pickles. and, find-
ing great difficulty in procuring the
same sort at hotels when travelling, al
ways carried bottle with him.
One day. when dining at restaurant
with his pickles In front OF him. a
stranger sat down at the same table.
and pretty soon asked the minister to
pass the pickles. The divine. who en-
jcyed a Joke, politely passed the pickles,
and in a few seconds had the satisfac-
ton of seeing the stranger watering at
the eyes and gasping for breath.
'I see by your Dress" said the man,
when he had recovered. shat you are a
parson."
II am, sir"
IT suppose you preach"
"Yes; about twice a week. usually"
do you ever preach about hell fire ?''
inquired the stranger.
"Why, yes. Sometimes I deem II my
duty to remind my congregation Of eter-
nal punishment"
"I thought So" said the stranger,
but you are the nrst of your class
ever met who carried samples."-

SOME SURPRISING TRUTHS
ABOUT MEXICO

Mexico is giving the world a dem
onstration of the economic wonders
that sometimes come to pass in coun-
tries under the burden Of great trib-
ulation. It was recently pointed out
that the exports from Great Britain
are now steadily and apparently Sc
curely larger than before the Euro
pean war began. 1t appears that
the same thing has been accom-
plished in Mexico since the Madero
revolution began.
The fiscal year ended June 80,
1911, showed exports from Mexico Of
STAG, 600, 900. The Madero revolt was
about beginning, but trade conditions
were approximately normal. A year
later exports were $14s, 900, 900; and
since then the fiscal years have
shown:

COsTLIER BOOKS IN PROSPECT

OF the making of many books
there may be no end, but of buying
them there may be, according to re-
ports that the cost of reading, like
the cost of living, is going up. Many
publishers already have denied that
they contemplate any general in
crease in prices of their publications,
though they are by no means sure
that such action will not be neces-
sary later.
Unfortunately one class of books
likely to be hit first are the text
books. These occupy about the only
field in which a rise in price would
be a hardship. Those who can
afford to buy new fiction usually car
