SWITCHMEN'S AWARD.

Eight Hour Concession Sounds Well,
but Doesn't Mean Anything.
Members of the New York branch Of
the SWitchmen's Union of America de-
MED that the award Of the federal
board of arbitration, filed In the United
States district court, New York city,
on Dec. "a, constituted an eight hour
day as described by that body.
They've given us phrase we can't
collect on was the way one of the Of
ficials Of the union characterized it.
The eight hour concession was
awarded to the union by the federal
board after wage and hour contro-
versy extending over months. The
Switchmen's union Is affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor. but
not with the four transportation broth.
erhoods In train service that made the
eight hour day national issue The
federal board granted the request OF
the switchmen that "eight hours or
less shall constitute an eight hour
day." but denied their request for time
and half for overtime But they did
grant the members of the union. so
far as they had contracts with the va
rious railroads, a fiat increase of 5
cents an hour.
1.-THE trouble with an eight hour con
cession," the union official quoted
above said, sis that there Is no finan-
cial penalty imposed on the railroads
for working their switchmen more
than eight hours. The federal board
merely has said to the railroads, sTf|
you work these men more than eight
hours you must pay them at the same
rate as during the eight hours which,
of course, is no concession at all They
could have called the award six hour
day or even four hour day, because
just as long as the rate of pay after
the expiration Of the stated day re.
mains the same as before the men
gain nothing, at least by that particu-
lar concession"

First, there must Be an end o. the
bloodshed IN Europe on terms not 10
onerous 70 any as to kindie resent
ments. That will not at In with the
plans OF any OF the powers at war;
but let that pass. Then, there must
be remapping OF the world on lines
that viii afford national rights and
equality to those desiring them, those
desires to be ascertained, presume
bly,, by q referendum vote OF the peo-
pies affected. That would be viola
tive OF the established Sovereignty OF
many existing governments-hardly
any have not offended in some way
against the freedom OF peoples-so
there II another obstacle; but that
need not DO considered here. Next,
there II the freedom OF the seas-ac-
tual freedom with full equality OF all
nations, great and small-which will
be looked upon in some quarters as
q pronouncement by the President IN
favor Of GermRny's assertion as to
what she Is fighting for. FORGET Il
Tor the time being. Finally there Is
reduction OF naval ornaments. Mill
tary disarmament is expected as a
matter OF course, so far as Germany
is concerned II that country is van
pushed. But Ii not an oyerwhelm-
ing naval force as much menace to
peace as too big and too efficient an
army? Not unless II is used for ag-
erosion, say many. But can any be
sure that such a force will never be
improperly employed?
When all these other matters have
been settled in favor of humanity Il
will be a simple thing to organize a
world court and the police power to
enforce its DEGREES. Can we hope to
reach that point? That is, in reality,
the question raised in President VIII
sons address. We imagine II a sat.
isfactory answer can be found there
will be an end of all objection to par
ticipation by the United States in a
concert Of nations to foster the benev-
olent design. 1t is hope worthy of
any man. II is not original with the
President, but 1t is good that he has
expressed 1t. He may we'll feel con-
fldent that have said what the peo-
pie Of the United States would wish
me to say" And he may have equal
confidence that our people favor any
action that may be promotive of
peace at the earliest possible date, If
such action does not misrepresent
their attitude.
Having put before the world and
in particular before the belligerent
governments an ideal of peace, 1t is
for the nations to consider how near
ly they can, and whether they are at all
ready to do anything to bring them
selves to, regard it as a worthy aim
Of their efforts.
