nothing to do with the financial jug
glery and political chicanery.
The employees reject a proposal for
arbitration, because IN previous con-
troversy, which they agreed to arbi-
trate, they found railroad servant,
a crooked lawyer, sitting on the arbi-
tration board. This wasn't square
deal, TO say the least, and the men re-
member it. But this can be remedied
by Congress. A general strike won't
bring relief Arbitration and iegis-
lation must be the final solution.
The Order of Railroad TelegrapheTs,
which isn't involved in this threatened
strike. set fine and practical example
a little while ago. This great union.
by dint of quiet effort, slipped law
through the Texas legislature giving
all railroad telegraphers Sunday
holiday-four days off in each month.
The railroad magnates are now
scattering little leaflets hypocritically
telling the public that the mems de-
mands would mean a wage increase OF
one hundred million dollars year for
is percent of the employees; that II the
other so percent were given the same
percentage of increase the public
would have to pay 332 millions year
in higher passenger and freight rates,
an average of 1890 for every family
in the United States.
If this argument were true, which it
isn't, everybody would see the neces-
sity of government ownership of the
railroads and demand of Congress the
necessary appraisal and confiscation.
But 1t means nothing of the kind. The
eight-hour day will create more jobs
for train service employees. and there's
plenty OF work for them to do. The
overtime now paid would cover the
cost of extra men. Besides, the rail-
roads have no notion of giving the
| "other SO percent" anything at all
! There isn't any prospect of further en-
! forced increases, and every railroad
. official in the country knows this to
! be true. The men might try to get
more. but the railroads are prepared
to resist them.
The railroads want higher rates, re-
CARELESS of the employees and their de
mands for the eight-hour day, and the
narrow minded liliputians who are
striving to mislead the public imagine
that now is the time TO gain the big
advantage of having the Interstate
Commerce Commission assume the
rate-fixing power.
If the people must pay all the rail
road expenses, and the railroad own
ers pay nothing from their profits, tho
time has come for public ownership.
, The stupidity of the leaders on boil
sides of this controversy, and the den
, sity of public ignorance regarding thu
, issues and their remedy, will be posi-
Z lively astounding to the historians Of
. fifty years from now who write of the
problems of this period.
The present threatened strike is due
!. TO the inefficiency of the Long-Earet
. Animals who are presumlng TO lead q
r horde OF helpless investors, and to the
e stupidity of number of the same type
] of men who are misleading an arm!
of honest and deserving workers.
:. The remedy will be found either II
J. government ownership, or in compul
/. sorry arbitration, with strict govern
e mental regulation.

Great Captains" Merely Stupid Dolts

Compulsory arbitration seems to be
the only remedy for devastating
strikes. sucn as Is now threatened by
the $4,000 train service employees of
the country. -oh. but that would be
un-American." says the shallow think
er. ''sure to result in tyranny"
Compulsory arbitration. on the con-
trary. would be strictly American, for
It is eminently common-sensible' and
can be made fair and square for all
concerned.
The welfare of the public, the inter
ests of the people. are of paramount
Importance. The threatened strike
will greatly injure the public, causing
enormous loss, therefore the people
should make strikes unnecessary by
passing compulsory arbitration law
One that would assure a square deal
for the people, who have the most at
stake; the employees, who have only a
job TO consider, and the railroad inyes-
tors, who are-concerned only for their
dividends.
The employees demand an eIght-hour
day and time and half for overtime.
The demand is right and just, but q
general strike isn't necessary TO OBJ.
tain II. Congress can pass the neces.
sary law within an hour. Why isn't
1t done? Because of the opposition
of the railroad lobby; too many rail.
road defenders in both houses, sur.
vivals of the bad old times.
BY uniting their influence and finan-
cial resources in a publicity campaign,
the railroad unions can, within year,
compel Congress to pass the neces,
sary law, and this publicity campaign
wouldn't cost as much as one day OF
a general strike.
Mulish stupidity is at the bottom OF
the trouble. Railroad owners some
day will realize that the eight hour
udy Will bt W SllAi
some day the employees will realize
that nothing Is ever gained by gen
eral strike. Industrial wars are fool
ish and useless in this country. Con
gress and the state legislatures have
ample power to give all necessary re
lief and to enforce a square deal fo
all concerned.
A general railroad strike is simpl!
revolution, and "revoluting" ism
popular in this country. Only wild
eyed fanatics and shallow.pate leader
see any advantage in them.
Within six months, by campaign
of publicity in the newspapers
handled by men who know their bus
ness, the railroad workers could OF
tain or be assured of winning every
thing which they now demand. TIL
railroads are using newspaper space
in the hope of misleading publ
opinion, for half-witted blind ma
can see their purpose-the hosting c
rates to equal the inevitable concet
sion.
These aren't big men who are MAJ
aging both ends of the controvers!
They are small, weak, and more
less ignorant leaders, blind to tn
paramount welfare of the public an
equally blind to their own interests.
The ablest men in the railroad Sc
vice are to be found among the SUI
