The strike would have paralyzed
every industry in the land. Every man
uracturing plant would have been
forced to shut down for lack Of raw
material. Every mine would have
closed for lack of transportation of it,
product to consumers. Famine would
have been the portion Of all our large
cities. Perishable crops on the farms
would have rotted on the farm. Tho
cost of living in our great centers ot
population would have increased more
than 100 ner cent. Violence and blood
shed would have. succeeded TO bank-
r1ptcy and hunger. These are only a
few .of the dire calarities that would
have come upon our people. A war
with Germany and Mexico both would
not prove as disastrous as the threat
ened strike.
Ii the public had not had such vital
interest in the issue Of the strike
it would have been exactly right Tor
the president and the congress TO keep
hands off, but, the situation being
what it was, the prevention of the
strike was triumph of content over
misery, prosperity over calamity, en-
ployment over fdleness. and, cost what
it may it was cheap.bargain.

weasel words, he reveals that he waa
for the strike, and challenges Wilson
for the way he averted that awful ca
lamity. Mr.. Hughes talks like boast

of the railroads should have been de-
fled and dared to do their worst But
he is only boasting. Had he been
president and charged with the re-
sponsibility that came to Mr. Wilson,
he would have done precisely as VII

Arbitration.
PILGRIMS CHEERED
BY HAGUE GREETING
Optimism Is Now Prevalent
Judge Lindsey Decides to
Sail Home.

tBy Cable 10 Tho Tribune,


The Hague. Jan. 9.-The perch on
which the dove Of peace roosts Is all
festooned In honor Of the Ford pill
grims.
The crusaders have found renewed
hope in The Hague after their scuttlc
through Germany. The opening re-
ception held in their honor at the
Witteborg Hotel, the headquarters OF
the expedition, was the most cordial
they have encountered in their wander
ings. The billboards proclaim the
dates of their meetings, and altogether
this business Of disseminating peace is
picking up.
Switzerland has sent the latest re
cruits to the Ford ranks. Five repre-
entatives Of the republic are on the
lay TO The Hague to Join the delegates
# other neutrals in forming the per
manent peace board. which is the out
growth of the pilgrimage. They will
reach here as soon as war burdened
traffic permits.
The board-so Its sponsors plan
will be composed Of Ave members from
each neutral nation. The Americans
have taken the lead. Of course, and the
pilgrims In session here have decided
that William Jennings Bryan, Henry
Ford and Jane Adams shall be three
Of the FIVE representing the United
States. Norway, Denmark, Sweden and
Holland have already sent delegates,
and Spain is expected to do likewise.
The purposes Of the board are:
First, to obtain expert advice on how
TO proceed second, to take the initia-
tive In approaching the warning ma
lions with peace terms, and, third. to
be prepared to sit indefinitely and re-
ceive and pass on peace proposals:
Nine Rosika Schwimmer, the Hun
garian delegate, said to-day:
Information has reached me from
influential sources that the establish
ment of an unofficial arbitration body
will not be unwelcome. This has given
US renewed encouragement that peace
IA less remote than is generally be-
lieved."
The pilgrims are still wondering al
some OF their experiences in the dash
through the Kaiser's realms. + or in
stance, there's Oscar Plaintiff. treas
urer Of the junket. who Is still sur
rrised at the thoroughness Of German
foresight. Mr.. Plaintiff decided to
carry part of his money supply in gold;
He was a bit astonished when he found
that the bill for the special train pre-
scented by the Germans equalled ex-
cctly the amount Of gold he carried
Incidentally, the expedition IS costing
$500 day.
For the time being things are run
ming smoothly. The newspaper men
have apparently been eating too much
meat, as they were assigned TO a vege-
tartan hotel. The students Of the party
will sail on Tuesday on the Noordam.
IS the Rotterdam would be overcrowded
with them on board.
Judge Lindsey, who was mentioned
as an American member OF the perma-
nent board, has decided to sail back TO
America. He announced to-day 1t was
imperative that he return with the rest.
The expedition will hold meetings this
week at The Hague, Rotterdam and

Accessory of Trench Life Seen on
Streets More and More Frequently.
Paris, Jan. e.-The war OF 1914
brought the cigar TO Paris with the
English; the war Of 1914 brought
Tommy Atkins's pipe. Shortly after
Waterloo, Roger dc Beauvoir declared:
1.-THE cigar is the last word Of dandy

ished gentlemen OF our time may be
identified II is az the same time the
supreme elegance and the supreme in

Tommy Atkins's pipe has not reached
the distinction Of the cigar OF the
Restoration. and is still excluded from
smoking dens Of exclusive society, but
il is seen with far greater frequency
in the street. and when the rough
bearded soldiers come home from the
trenches II is likely 10 get anywhere,
for some millions Of English pipes
have been distributed among them; by
way of reciprocity, sor.e hundreds OF
thousands Of elegant French brars
have been imported into Great Britain
and its colonies. Australia, particu-
larry, has taken to the French brar
and is keeping the French pipe trade
busy filing its orders.
Before the war the pipe had its
place in France, well defined after the
ORDERLY routine Of French life, as an
adjunct Of a fishing trip, hunting
expedition, an outing in the country
or roughing trip in the mountains.
Al fashionable resorts, "a IN town, II
was pushed aside by the cigarette.
The pipe seems 20 have become an
INDISPENSABLE accessory Of trench ire,
where anything that will help 70 XIII
time is welcome. Il IS At the same
time a distraction and an occupation
and. as one soldier put 1t, 1T has the
advantage Of keeping the end OF INC
nose warm; It also permits the util-
ization OF 1. common kind OF coarse
tobacco. which the soldiers say IS made
of sticks that are too coarse for ccisa-
rettes and not big enough to make d
