Brotherhoods Against 1t

TT is not surprising that the railroad brother
l hoods opposed to government owner
ship Of railroads, government operation Of
railroads Or even government control of rail-
roads. 1t was to be expected that these
CARNATIONS would fight any move which tho
government might make in the direction Of
Federal supervision of the interior trans
portaton business.
In the first place, the government as an
employer has never tolerated a striker Men
who sell their services to Uncle Sam have the
right to petition him for the redress Of
wrongs, but not the right to paralyze the
governments activities by walking out in Il
body. They nay ask for more money and
they may get it, but they are never per-
mitted to subject the government to a
hold-up. forcing it to come across" at the
point OF pistol.
In the next place, any government which
is at war and decides that a certain industry
is vital to its life has the privilege Of draft
ing its citizens in such numbers as may be
necessary to keep that industry operating to
full capacity. The mere fact that the United
States government should undertake the con-
troll or operation of the railway system of
the country means that the government re-
CARDS the service of the railroads as vital
and if il is vital, railroad employees might
properly be drafted.
These arc the general considerations which
against any plan Of Federal control of the
railroads. The men represented in these
brotherhoods cannot regard with favor any
condition which bars them against either
strikes or threatened strikes. The exercise
of this privilege has worked so advantageous
ly for them in the past that they naturally
cherish it as inalicnable right The
chances are that President Wilson will re-
mind the brotherhood heads that this govern
ment will exact as much from them as it will
exact from the owners OF the railroads. If
the government must draft the properties of
railroad owners III order to win the war il
may properly draft the men who make the
wheels go round. If the railroad presidents
and railroad managers are egslated into the
service of their country for the period OF the
war, the railroad operatives may expect to
be legislated into it as well.
No action along this line will cost any rail-
road employee who does his duty his Job
Nor will it cost him dollar in pay. The
men on the trains and in the yards will be
called upon to perform their work for the
government i'll exactly the same manner in
which they perform it for the individual rail-
road companies. Perhaps when all this il
made clear to the brotherhoods, these organi-
cations will periodically withdraw their OBJ
lection to any measure which the President
may regard as --eceSSary to the country's ar
efficiency.
