Strike Menace Ayerted.

When representatives of the railroad brother
hoods yesterday agreed to submit their differ
ences with the railways to the Federal board Of
mediation and concation the greatest danger
that has menaced the business interests Of this
nation since the outbreak OF the European war
temporarily averted. The action of the en-
ploycs means that strike of 100000 men that
would tie up nearly all the railroads in the coun-
try losses of millions of dollars and in
fict some kind Of damage on nearly all of the
Ioo,Oooooo persons in the nation has been post
poned indefinitely
The settlements OF the recent strike Of the
garment workers and the more recent strike of
street railway employees in New York City are
fresh in the minds of the public and the public
probably will accept the submission of the rail
road workers case to the Federal officials as
evidence that the railroad quarrel soon will be
satisfactorily settled. But there still remains
the possibility Of the Federal officials failing to
adjust the differences.
However the record of the board OF media
tion and Cancellation shows that it has been
highly successful in handling labor and capital
tanglcs and there is reason to suppose that the
board will be successful in its efforts to adjust
the railroad troubles.
The submission OF the case to the board prob
ably will be accepted a victory for the rail-
roads. The railroad officials for some time have
been willing to have impartial body take the
situation under consideration, study the issues
and try to reach agreement. but the employees
seemed hostile to all outside interference until
yesterday
The sudden change in the course OF the en-
ployes may have been due to the growth OF a
strong public sentiment against strike-senti-
men that has been gaining in force and growing
more widespread every hour since the strike vote
sentiment will cause the employees to treat with
the board of mediation and Cancellation on a
basis that will bring a speedy termination to the
trouble.

Paper Consumption Curtailed.

The Federal Trade Commission, which last
week began investigation to determine wheth-
er paper manufacturers have combined to bring
about shortage in news print paper, has ad-
journed until the middle of September. The
adjournment has caused disappointment to hum
dreds of newspaper publishers who entertained
hopes that the commission would speedily ascer-
tain the cause of the paper shortage and suggest
some means of bringing the paper supply up to
normal
The publishers, left to their devices, now
are casting about in search of all practical
methods of protecting themselves, the adver-
tisers and the readers. The most recent action
by publishers taken in Philadelphia yester-
day when the heads of the newspapers reached
the following agreement:
"All daily, evening and Sunday newspapers
will Immediately reduce the size of their issues
to the extent OF a total in excess Of eighty pages
weekly.
That beginning September next the &C
cepting from wholesale purchasers of unsold
copies Of all morning, evening and Sunday news
papers will be discontinued. Heretofore this
privilege has been granted to newsboys, news
agents newsstands and carriers"
The famine in news print paper has created
situation hardly dreamed OF few years ago
The shortage has caused nearly every publisher
in the country to adopt some means of curtailing
paper consumption The situation must interest
every intelligent person because it already has
had consequences Of concern to advertisers news
dealers and readers in many large cities.
Some publishers have been compelled to raise
the price of their paper to cents. Others have
raised advertising rates A large number have
abolished the return privilege, and many others
have reduced the number of pages printed daily
The war seems to have figured as one of the
causes Of the paper shortage. Since the begin
ming OF the a number OF mills which have
been manufacturing print paper have dis
continued this work and begun manufacturing
book and wrapping paper. The prosperity Of
the nation likewise seems to have had an effect.
The big increase in business has resulted in more
Advertising necessitating more pages in news
papers With the growth OF advertising there
have been increased circulations which greatly
reduced the reserve supply of paper
The result has been that some publishers
today actually facing suspension OF publica
tiOn and those who more fortunate rapidly
are being forced to adopt unusual expedients

David Davis, whom Lincoln appointed
associate justice OF the supreme court at
Washington as soon after his inaugura-
ton as vacancy occurred, was always
of the opinion that he was first of all the
Illinois politicians to discover in Lincoln
the qualities which would admirably At
him for the Office OF president OF the
United States. Others in Illinois deemed
Lincoln worthy OF the vice-presidential
nomination. and his party organization
was strongly in favor OF Lincoln's cleo
ton to the United States senate.
But Judge Davis believed he had ex-
plored further into the mystic depths Of
Lincoln's character than any other OF
trc men who lived with and were asso-
ciated with him, and in that way discov-
cred qualities that were above the un-
derstandinS OF the ordinary man. In al
most precisely these words he set forth
this experience TO some of his friends,
who. like himself, were members of the
United States senate between 1877 and
1888.
There is no doubt that Judge Davis
was persuaded that he, also. possessed
qualifications which, were he elected
president Of the United States, would
make 1t possible for him to become Lin
coins true successor after the latter's
second term expired. He believed he un-
derstood better than any other man what
Lincoln's view of reconstruction was and
that view was entirely in accord with his
own.
Therefore, Judge Davis was suspected
in 1858 Of nourishing presidential ambi-
tions. He was disposed to part company
with the Republicans because he did
not fully indorse the Republican recon
struction policy He was also one OF the

first to perceive that organized labor was
likely soon TO possess political power,
and he felt that IL he could champion
organized labor and so direct politics as
to assure a coalition between orga nized
labor or between the workingmen Of the
United States and the Democratic party.
he would thereby create so strong 8
party as to insure success at the presi-
Dental election IL not in 1853, certainly
in 1872.
When the Liberal Republican orGaniza-
ton was perfected in 1872 Judge Davis
did not conceal his ambition TO receive
the nomination, although he suspected
that he might have a rival for that nom
ination in Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois.
Judge Davis. however. believed that he
could so guide events that the working
men, the Liberal Republicans and the
Democrats would form a coalition or fu-
sion party, and with him as a candidate
would be triumphant at the polls
His name was brought prominently be
fore the Liberal Republican convention.
but was cast aside with that of Charles
Francis Adams because the delegates
by some strange whim made choice OF
Horace Greeley
1t was observed by Judge Davis friends
that after 1872 he seemed TO be indifTer-
ent to presidential politics and appeared
at times to be tired OF his place upon
the supreme court bench. He welcomed
that curious combination in Illinois OF
few Republicans and the Democrats
whereby he WAS Of a sudden elected

Crosser Bill Opposed.

The minority report of the House District
Committee against the Crosser bill, filed in the
House yesterday by Representative Johnson
chairman OF the District Committee, is a docu-
ment that represents the opinion of large ma
jorty of the people of this city. In citing the
many reasons why street railways should not be
seems to strike the nail on the head in declaring
that the best argument against municipal owner
ship now is that there is absolutely no demand
for it on the part Of the people
There has been a demand here for gov
ernmental operation of our traction systems and
if the Crosser bill had not been supported by the
Commissioners of the District in the face Of
public sentiment it is likely that the bill would
not have been reported to the House The
minority report calls attention the lack of JUS
tce in forcing the residents of the city to buy
the railways without referendum.
The minority report also contains this:
"If the Washington Railway and Electric
Company has not earned a dividend during the
last years, then it seems conclusive to US
that it would be bad proposition for the Dis
trict OF Columbia to tax the people to take over
company which is losing money under the
favorable circumstances set out by the propo-
nents of the bill 1t would be bad
proposition for any other city to deliberately
set out to acquire public utility which the pro-
ponents of the measure themselves assert is a
losing proposition, and it would be for the
District of Columbia under all the circumstances
which have been set out to do So"

Suffrage for All.

Women suffrage must come, and it will come,
sooner or later, for every State in the land.
Women need the ballot; they want it; they are
entitled to whatever help it gives in meeting the
difficulties Of life. 1t is silly to argue, as do
some of the anti-suffragsts, that defeat Of the
movement in any State means anything but a
temporary setback to be followed BY a renewal
Of the fight from the beginning. Mr.. Hughes
wisely recognizes all this, and proposes not only
the submission, but the ratification, of the Fed
fight His is strong and logical advocacy of
the womens cause. They could gain no more
