The Railway Strike in Virginia.

Some one is to blame for the state of dis
order and lawlessness which has grown out OF
the disagreement between the Washington and
Old Dominion Railway and its employees to
wages and hours of labor. Five weeks ago
when agreement reached to arbitrate
the differences, which apparently by no
means insurmountable, there was every reason
to look forward to an early adjustment salts
factory to both sides. Today company and
employees are in hostile array and violence is
threatened if men engaged to take the places
Of the strikers attempt to operate the cars.
Meantime great inconvenience is being unjustly
imposed upon the hundreds of persons living
along the railroad line who earn their livelihood
in Washington. They are the innocent victims
and just at present the chief sufferers.
The fact that organized labor has repudi-
ated the action of the men in striking pending
the process of arbitration would under ordinary
circumstances be proof satisfactory to the general
public that the employees are in the wrong; but
on the other hand the majority of the patrons
OF the road, who thoroughly informed as
to the conditions under which the men work,
are said to sympathizc with them and approve
Of their course. The men, too, present rather
strong statement Of their case, specifying numcr-
alleged instances of violation by the COM
pany Of the terms of the agreement adopted
for the operation cf the cars, pending arbitra-
ton. These charges, specifically made, have not
as yet been specifically denied by the company.
If they are accepted as true the presumption
that the company has failed to keep its bargain
is justified and if they can be proven to the
labor organization with which the carmen are
affiliated reversal Of its position is to be
expected
There indications, however, that the strike
was inspired by the prospective failure of arbi-
tration rather than by the company's violations
Of the temporary working agreement and il
this is true the situation becomes more difficult
though not necessarily hopeless. The men are
entitled TO fair wages for fair days work. and
even were the company disposed to deny them
this, public sentiment would not permit, unIes.
the men by deeds of violence or disorder forfeit
their claims to public sympathy.
Presumably the roads revenues are large
enough to enable it to pay fair wages; if not
its revenues must be increased, it must discover
and put into effect some new economies in
operation it must so out OF business.
Whatever the circumstances there is no excuse
| for violence, and by rcsorting to it the men
will lose everything in the end The only course
is to continue to seek the solution through ar.
btration, and if this method becomes utterly
hopeless then it would seem that the State
authorities must take hand.

traditional financial policy Of the gov
ernment Taxes had not yielded
enough. loans could not be had fast
enough, and early in 1852 il had be-
gun the issue OF notes from the Treas
ury OF the United States which were
for the time irredeemable, but which
were nevertheless made legal tender
in the payment OF debts.
Late in 1861 December zSth) the
banks OF the country had suspended
specie payments. The paper OF the
government became almost the only
currency. and its bulk rose steadily
from million TO million.
War and the depreciation OF the
currency brought in their train an in
flstion OF prices. Farmers had been
getting little profit from their crops
transporting them to market over the
railways had lifted the cost OF their
production quite to the level OF what
the merchants would give for them
Many planters used their corn for
fuel But the war made gram exceed
ingly valuable. The purchases of the
government alone changed the whole
face of the market. Money was once
more easy 10 get, the paper money Of
the Treasury. and could lie used at its
face value as well gold itself to
pay the mortgages of which the older
time Of stress had piled up.
The "greenbaCks" OF the govern
ment became for the agricultural re-
EiOns OF the North and West a symbol
of prosperity.
Conservative constitutional lawyers
had doubted from the FIRST the legal
ity OF these issues. Every serious stu
dent OF the times in which the con-
stitutiOn had been framed. and Of the
dominant motives Of its trainers. was
convinced that one Of the chief OBJ
Jects OF the statesmen who led the
convention OF ITS7 had been TO put
government in America once for all

policy.

UndesnabIes.

Corporal John Robinson. Of the British army,
Irish by birth, exchanged prisoner by the
accident Of war, testified yesterday in Old
Bailey on the trial Of Sir Roger Easement for
high treason, that:
Easement visited 800 Irshmen in his camp,
Offering $50 to each who would desert the
British colors
About fifty Of the 800 Irshmen accepted the
offer and enlisted in the German army.
His testimony was corroboratcd by that of
John Cronin, another exchanged prisoner
"Cronin said they were promised that if
Germany emerged from the defeated the
German government would pay their transporta-
ton TO America
These fifty soldiers were not conscripts or
pressed men, but volunteers who entered the
British army without compulsion. They under
took the dangers Of soldiers life OF their own
free will Their violation Of their oath and en-
lllstment against their country, to fight the men
with whom they had stood side by side are
therefore peculiarly abhorrcnt, and the posi-
bility that their present employers may event
Iually transfer them to that portion Of America
embraced within the boundaries of the United
States is a matter Of serious import to this
country.
The United States docs not want them 1t
has no room for them II Germany considers
them good enough to wear her uniform, they
should be good enough to wear her citizenship;
and certainly this nation should offer no asylum
to such as they.-New York Sun.

A Truly Desperate Plight.

When did political party ever approach its
national convention in any such hopeless condi-
tion as the Republicans Of 1915? They have no
candidate of any considerable degree Of popular
ity except the man who wrecked them four years
ago, and will wreck them again if he can, if
supporters and enemies. 1t looks as if it would
be about equally fatal to them to nominate him,
or not to nominate him. Root is very able
old and he is even older in his political ideas
than he is in, years. Justice Hughes is emf
nent person but the only reason for the special
for several YEARS. and bcrcfore S was On out W Of 1o
tics in 1912, and hasn't been talking about the
great war. This is vitality important to the Re
Pub1cans, who are reduced to the extremity Of
denouncng the President for not assuming a
more aggressive attitude toward Germany, and
at the same time conciliatng the German-Arer-
cans and assuring the country that Republican
success would not involve the country in war.
This is worse than riding two horses; it is riding
three horses-Philadelphia Record.
