DRESlpENT WILSON'S plan for tenn
l porury settlement OF the controversy be
tween the railroads ana the hroihcrhoods. 10
which the employees already have agreed. is
so emiuenty fair and practicable that. * he
poiutCdly says. If strike COMES. the puhlic
Will know where responsibility rests. Il Will
rest OH the railroads. and no amount OF special
pleading can relieve them Of il.
In urging concession by the roads OF the
cight-hour day the President is fully sup
ported by the strong considerations OF reason
and experience he brings forward. To ahjec-
tion against the eight-hoUr working day As
a principle lie not only makes the uuqUes-
tonahlH true general assertion that Tile sys-
TEN has the sanction Of society III its favor.
but refers specifically to the fact that ''tho
railroads which have already adoutod the
eighI-hour day do not seem To be AK any
serious disadvantage i'll respect OF their cost
of operation compared with the railroads
that have retained the ten-hour day
To the railroads conention that conces-
sion by them OF the eighthour day would sac
rifce the fundamental principle OF arbitra-
ton. he rCfrans from making the obvious
reply that the country Will make for him:
that. In respect TO that feature Of the con-
troversy, his judgment is virtually the deci-
sion Of an arbter. He heard, as fully as pos
sible in so brief time, the arguments OF ho,h
railroads and employees. and his insistenCc
on the ciCht-hour day is the result OF his
deliberately formed opinion. Except for its
lack of finality, his decision is entitled to the
weight OF arhitrament Understanding
this, the public would not give its moral sup
port to further demand by the railroads for
formal arbitration OF this issue. as 4 condi-
ton OF temporary settlement
But apart from the merits of the ceht-hour
system and the Presidents opinion as 20 its
Justice. urgent reasons for the acceptance Of
his plan arc 10 be found in his suggestion

Owners or Agents Must Cut Weeds

D EAL estate owners and agents will find
IN it hard to convince either the Admins
trative Board the public that il is tho citys
duty to clean away the weeds from private
property. From the viewpoint of reason. it
is clear that ownership OF any property,
whether real or personal must carry with it
such burdens are attendant on that owner
ship The fact That vacant property is un-
productive does not alter the case If II did
it would be equally reasonable to demand the
exemption of vacant property from taxation.
And precedent and parallel cases likewise
oppose the contention of the real estate men.
Owners and their agents are required 10 repair
or remove dangerous constructions; they are
required to remove snow and ice from side
walks adjoining their property though the
streets are controlled by the city-and they
compelled to remedy insanitary condi-
tons. Ii weeds on private property are con
trary to the ordinance. ii is the duty of tho
owner or his agent TO make the weeds behave.
Ty Cobb says the President knows more
about strikes than he does But when il
comes 10 spikes. Tyrus yields To no man.
