REAL ISSUE STILL UNSETTLED.

The passage of an eight hour law
by congress put quick stop to
the threatened rail strike, but it is
generally conceded it will not settle
the real issue which has been raised.
This issue involves the question of
permanent protection for the public
against great industrial wars, espec-
tally when they threaten the convent
ence, safety and welfare Of the gen
eral public. And as the transporta-
tlon companies are engaged in a SER
vice which is actually essential to the
convenience and welfare of the pub
lie, it is perfectly plain that while
the present program of legislation
may tide over the present crisis, it
does not go far enough and fails to
offer the real solution needed and de-
manded by the people.
The eight hour law which was rush
ed through congress to avert strike
by railway employees, in other words,
is merely makeshift to meet press
ing emergency-the price that is to
be paid for present industrial peace.
1t is a concession to Il certain class
OF dissatisfied employees, but it may
not serve to satisfy even those en-
ployes for any length Of time. While
this concession may be justified, more
over, on grounds of fairness and JUS
tice, the manner in which it has been
wrmg from the national law making
body is. not at all pleasing or salts
factory to the public. A sinister
threat of national calamity was includ-
ed in the strike program of rail en-
ployes, and the public cannot forget
this, even though allowing for the ac-
tion OF congress in enacting a law to +
pacify the members of the railroad I
brotherhoods.
The problem of a permanent safe o
guard against recurrence of such f
roubles, however, still remains to be +
iolved, and congress should address "
tself to this task without hesitation =
md while recollection of the present n
rouble is still fresh In solving this n
problem, moreover, congress should 81
'ay less attention to what the rail n
Dad employees or the railroad presi- h
ents want, than to what the general $;
ublic wants and actually needs. This fl
eed, of course, includes a system for Of
ftectively handling large labor trou- ii
les and industrial disputes of every
laracter, whenever such troubles and to
lsputes become a menace to public nj
and national welfare. T.,
nd the public will not rest or be tr
ltlsfed until such a system is pro- cL
ded. VI

 It is hoped to locate men AL neigh- borhood points all over the county, where small gatherings of farmers may be held to take up and discuss sueh matters as may be of special interest 10 them. This may mean poultry talk in tone town, pruning demon stration in ane sher, demonstration in another, a dairy problem in stiil another, and so on.
 The Agents monthly report was read and accepted.

Want Open Trolley Cars

Patrons of the Shore Line Electric Rsllway company between sCentral Village and West Thompson, the Put. nam division, are asking for open trolley cars. Why the company has maintained it's present stuffy closed cars with their hot plush seats is a mystery to the roads patrons.
 II has been stated that the open cars gre to be run ion Saturdays, Sundays .and holidays only and lthe public are asking why. One reason giveniis the difficulty experienced by the conduc' tors in collecting the new zone system fares on the open cars but this Is not satisfying the people who believe that the public who support the company should receive the first consideration and not the employees. So insistanl has the demand become for open cars that the Putnam Chamber of Com merce has been appealed to and will take the matter up with the road of- | fIicias.
