Railroad Strike Nycrtrd

ISL now much folly, we'll as sciishness
j There was in the determination OF the rail
road brothcrhoods 10 call general strike is
revealed III the decision Of the United States
supreme Court, holding the Adamson law
constitutional. BY the solemn pronounce.
ment OF the highest tribunal in the land the
trainmcn are awarded the privileges to attain
which they were willing TO plunge the whole
country into industrial anarchy
We must believe that the close division in
the court FIVE justices UNFOLDING the law and
Tour declaring il nyaid-was something OF n
surprise TO counsel for the railroads. II IS
we'll known that many able railroad LAWYERS
had given il as their opinion under the veil
OF secrecy, OF course-that the Adamson law
was constitutional and would be upheld To
the lay mind certainly, tho reasoning of Chief
justice White appears unanswcrablb.
At any rate. the strike has been averted.
as well by the concessions OF the railroads
az BY the decision OF the court Secretary
Lanes fine tribute to the patriotism of the
railroad executives well deserved and
the country will echo it. BY the concession
of the cight-hour day the railroads assum.
an additional wage burden, variously esti-
mated al from $4,000, 900 to $50, 00O, 900
year. II ought TO go without saying that
the Interstate Commerce Commission will ap-
prove an increase in freight rates large
enough TO transfer this heavy expense from
the railroads and the shareholders to the
public. The public Is the chief beneficiary
from this assurance Of peace. and the public
should be willing to pay the cost.
But Congress also has duty which should
not be cvaded That 100000 of the lOO-
100000 people of the United States are i'm q
