"There are many men who would

A Righteous Undertaking.

President Wilson will have the backing
Of every innocent bystander in his efforts
to force the railroad officials and their
employees into arbitration, and he should
use every legitimate resource to bring
about that method OF settling the diff
ferenees
Neither side has been quite fair with
the public, neither side has told the
whole truth for publication concerning
its aims and ambitions, and il is high
time for both sides to realize that they
are playing a game fraught with great
danger TO the welfare OF the country as
a whole and to the comfort and safety
of thousands who have a right to full
protection from the grieyous possibilities
OF such a strike as is now threatened
There are those who would rather see
summary end OF negotiations and the
inevitable disaster that would follow
than to permit the president to obtain at
this time whatever prestige might be
gained from procuring the consent of
both sides TO arbitration. The Traveller
is glad to say that it is not among that
number Do those who feel and talk that
way realize what a burden OF misfortune
and misery nationwide railroad strike
would bring to the people of every sec
