Write to Your conaressman.

ChicagO.-In an editorial demanding
that congress empower the interstate
commerce commission TO intervene In
the railway wage controversy the Chi
cagO Tribune says;
III there ever was a time for citizens
TO write to their congressman IT Is now.
The nation will have TO intervene In
this railroad strike for self protection
The nation wants justice done TO both
sides. Justice will not come from per.
mitting fight between the railroad
employees and employers.
All that can possibly come of II will
be intense suffering throughout the
country.
The public will not long maintain
the role of innocent bystander.
The interstate commerce commission
should he empowered To prevent this
threatened railroad strike. Congress
can so empower il.
This Is n national emergency. Write
10 your congressman about II.

TO SETTLE LABOR DISPUTES.
Federal Body Should Fix Railway
Rates and Wages.

Baton Rouge. La.-Commenting on
the prospective railroad strike for
higher wages, the Times says:
Congress should pass an act at once
giving the interstate commerce com
mission authority to settle the labor
disputes, just as it has the right to fix
rates.
1t Is more important that the inter
state commerce commission have the
right to fix wages and settle disputes
than it is that it have the right to de-
termine freight rates and prohibit re-
bates.
Business can hObble along under
high freight rates. Death would fol-
low a general railroad strike.
Both the railroads and the railroad
men may be able TO withstand strike.
but the public cannot. The public Is
not in a position to face general
strike of the railroads in the country.
The calamity is too awful to CON
template.
1t would be more frightful than q
dozen Mexican wars II should not be
in the power Of set Of men to bring
such a disaster to the public.
The commission has the right to say
what the railroads shall chlrge for
their service.
This commission should Oe given
the right to say what they shall pay
for the labor that it takes to perform
this service.
And it should be given this authority
