Editorial Opinion
RAILROAD MEN WHO
WANT TO KEEP AT WORK

" ~ ~ MIL - IT ffRAhAA
From the New York sun.
The 100000 railway men in train
service who threaten to strike do not
look so imposing when we read that
more than $4,000 workers in the em-
ploy Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
alone have signed a petition protest
ing against a strike and asking Con-
gress to enact laws compelling arbi-
tration in an industrial crisis such as
the present.
AS a matter OF fact the great mass
Of railway employees want only to be
allowed to keep at work. There are
1900 900 of them who are not asking
for an eight-hour day as a basis OF
wages. Shopmen. clerks, switchmen.
teiegraphers and the rest outnumber
the trainmen nine to two. These em-
ployes cannot see why they should
be jobless and unpaid while small
minority is using force to gain its
wholly pecuniary ends A strike
means severe hardship for the t,s00,-
600 with neither gain nor compensa-
tion al the close.
The trainmen are only rs per cent
OF railway workers. The plea OF the
other 50 per cent. for the arbitration
OF the trainmen's demands, so that
they can continue to work in peace
and security, ought TO be loud enough
to be heard not only in Congress but
in the Blue Room Of the White House
Evening journal., 1916-08-24

But in this specific case. as in all
others. many things are to be taken
into consideration besides the desires
Of the workers. The men concerned
in this prospective strike are only
one-quarter Of the number of work
ers employed by the railroads OF the
country. They already are the high
est paid workers. in their field Their
demands, II granted. would put on
the railroads burden OF expendi-
ture which they say they are unable
to meet with justice to other em-
ployes than members of the four
brotherhoods. 10 their stockholders
and the public. which demands a high
standard Of service and safety.
The second great fault Of the Pres
idents plan is that it fails to take
into consideration all these elements

mands. which yet must be consider

No necessity exists for such a

HENNEssY's INTERESTING ROOK.


VATE have received from John A. Hennessy. Demo-
w cratic reformer of prominence and for many
years managing editor Of the New York Press copy
Of his new book Whats The Matter With New York?
story Of the Waste Millions" In the foreword the
author, who is uncompromising foe Of Tammany
Hail. says:
This book is not written to expose all the evils Of
State government but uncover few. It's main pur
pose Ia to show how. with small effort several mil
lions Of dollars may be saved the taxpayers each year
and with rising standard efficiency. Several i'm
pottant departments are left untouched, that con-
abuses easy reach be presented accurately
the information those ready TO do what they can
in having the the state on lines nearly
parallel with the successful trade achievements OF
individuals
Mir Henncssy contends that. with efficient organiza-
lion. the New York state budget can be cut within
year by s5OOOO0O and within three years by from
S70OO00O to SS0OOOOO with increased activities.
He also holds that continuance of the present system
will lead not later than 1917 to direct TAX that will
remain. with ever-growing volume from year to year.
Among other things Mr.. Hennessy points out that the
the state expenditures for all purposes in
1915 over 1901 Is 2S per cent In 1901 the total was
s2f597s4l in 1915 the outlay Sei9O2S71 The
increase in the valuation real estate in New
York state in 1915. as compared with 1901 is 119 per
while the in population in 1915 over 1901
only 34.5 per cent
The book is exceedingly interesting, not only as an
exposure governmental defects and abuses but also
because Of the suggestions made looking TO the curing
OF those evils.
