FOR AFTER-WAR TRADE

The first cooperative organization to sell
American goods in Europe after the war has
been formed by a group Of western lumber
men. The strange thing about this is that no
group Of American producers should have
formed similar organization before now.
Even though the war threatens to last as
long again as its duration till now. the present
is high time to start peace preparations. Our
neutral soil, besides its better present fortune
than that Of the seat of war eniovs the adj
vantage that it may freely and fully make its
preparations for what will follow.
AS agencies above others to do something
for the future welfare, it is astonishing that
American business interests should not before
now have acted along the lines taken by the
lumbermen. A selling campaign for sncb .
commodity as theirs requires method Organ;
zation and plenty of time. In other lines of av-
portation Immediately after the war. sucb az

RAILROADS AND THE ADAMsoN ACT.

! Many questions both interesting and import
ant have been raised as a result OF the acton
of congress and the president in making the So
called eight hour bill law. OF course every
one knows that the Adamson act is law to IN
crease the wages of trainmen. Beyond this, as
Frank Trumbull. chairman of the railway
executives advisory committee, points out no
one knows just what this legislation means.
Presently it will be tested in the courts, and
then if it is found to be constitutional, 1t will
have to be Interpreted before it can be lntelll-
gently obeyed.
If congress has the power to prohibit de-
crease in wages, has it the power to prohibit
increases9 If congress has power to regulate
wages, must the wages be reasonable! Is con-
aress to determine what are just and reason
able wages for all railway employees as well as
for the trainmen? These some OF the
questions asked by Mr. Trumbull. Their bear
ing upon the situation created by congress and
the president is apparent They must be an
swered if the courts uphold the Adamson law
Not less important is the question, IF capital
which is fluid, flows in other and more attrac-
tive directions, how will new facilities be pro
#yided if wage demands are to be acceded to
without Investigations A writer In the cur
rent issue of the Railway Age Gazette says that
railway purchases have been and still are
much below normal Where will the railroads
get the money required for improvements unless
congress or commission raises the rates the
public must pay for transportation!

reached and the ship should be placed in charge
