/ Of funds, as seldom before. The brother
hoods are prosperous. They are high
priced men-favored among wage-earn.
ers. And yet both railroads and brother
hoods are putting up the poer mouth.
This is taken from the latest state
ment of the brotherhoods:
'1f, after more than year, we have
failed to secure some relief, and train
and enginemen conclude to fold their
hands and starve in reality rather than
by degrees, should they be considered
as disloyal to their flagf"
If the brotherhoods are entitled to
shorter hours and more pay they should
have them, and can get them without
any irregular or disorderiy process
whatever. But neither delay nor ulti-
mate denial would bring starvation. The
men are not fighting for crust or a
shelter. As matters stand, they are
comfortably provided for, and deserve
the provision.
The strike program puts freight traf-
tic before passenger traffic. The public
is TO be pinehed in its food supply first,
and later in its opportunity to travel.
Nothing could be more reprehensible
than that; and if the program is carried
out the brotherhoods should, and will, in
stantly feel public displeasure. The
news from the warning nations Of Eu-
rope is saddest in its relation to the
undernourished appearance of the
women and children. The bread card
stories from London, Berlin and Paris
read distressingly in this country
But those nations are at war, each
insisting that it is fighting for its life.
Their injuries are being inflicted from
the outside. Part of the trouble which
toppled over the Russian throne pro-
ceeded from paralysis of the service
for distributing food supplies. Today
we are at peace, and our domestic ar
rangements are on peace basis. What,
therefore, could possibly excuse a par
alysis of our distribution of food sup
plies and the appearance of hunger in
the countrya A controversy about
wages and hours of employment affect
ing four hundred thousand out of a hun
dred million people? Such an act would
be colossal blunder which would over
whelm the blunderers.

q Strike Against the Nation.

Tho revolution in Russia. though it
promises ultimate control of the en-
pire TO the Russian people who are furi-
ously aroused against the German men
ace. in its immediate effect reduces Rus
sia's war efficiency in the struggle with
another without weakening at this time
the Russian attack or defense i'll the war
with Germany.
Russians fight against Russians in Or
der that Russia may battle more strong
" against the enemy. The United
States IS threatened with an industrial
war. in which Americans fight Ameri-
cans, with nc possible result of national
Strengthening, and with a certainty of
national weakening.
The United States is preparing itself
10 resist foreign aggression which may
soon eliminate in war, 1t needs as
seldom before in It's history the perfect
coordination of all its powers and re-
sources, including notably its railroad
transportation system, upon which IN
military efficiency so much depends. De
iicicncicS in.that system ha se developed
In the mere solution of the problem of
wise and fair distribution of the food
supply. The nation has in spots suffered
a riot-breeding food shortage. while in
other spots there has been food abun-
dance to the point of waste.
At this iuncture the railroad brother
hoods, while Indignantly resenting any
slur upon their patriotism, propose
10 paralyze the railroad system of
the United States, unless the railroads
Immediately surrender unconditionally
10 their demand for ten hours payment
fUr an eight hour day. They refuse to
await the Supreme Courts interpreta-
tion of the arbitrament by Congress in
their favor through the Adamson law
They refuse to submit to any arbitra-
tors whatsoever the question of fair
wages and fair hours, which is the issue
between them and their employers
BY striking at this juncture, in this
national crisis, while Congress is not in
session to a.bitrate as it ail in enact
ing the Adamson law, the brotherhoods
ALLEVIATE the public sympathy which has
50 often been labor's strong support
in controversies between employer and
employed. The brotherhoods seem to
the public TO seek to wiring from the
public necessities a private advantage,
whose merits they refuse to submit to
the arbitration of anybody, even of
sympathetic President. and Congress of
the United States. They will paralyze
the nations preparedness program and
its military efficiency, and they will con
denim thousands of Americans to distress
and semi-starvation from food shortage.
unless their despotic demands are i'm
rnediately and literally obeyed A strike
thus rooted, in last analysis, in selfish
disloyalty ought not to be begun. The
order for it should be cancelled.
The new Congress when it assemblies
VIII have as one of the most vitally i'm
portant of its legislative duties the task
of preventing by suitable legislation the
deadly injury of the kind of national
paralysis that is threatened by this
strike. The courage and wisdom to
guard against strikes against the nation
should not be lacking.

OREGON MAN
PINNED UNDER AUTO
Gland Sloan of Echo, Held prisoner
All Night ON Road, His Con-
dition Is Serious.

Pendleton, Or. Jan. PINNED be-
meath his auto in the snow, where he
had been imprisoned for IA hours,
Claud Sloan, prominent Echo sheep
man was found this morning mile
from Echo, frozen almost to death.
Both hands are frozen to the wrist,
both feet are frozen and one leg is
frozen as far up as the knee. He is
in a serious condition.
Sloan left Echo about 7 o'clock last
evening for his home four miles up
the river. When going up sidehill
road about mile from Echo, his car
slid in the snow and turned over,
pinioning him beneath.
The road is but little travelled dur
ing this time of the year and no help
came until o'clock this morning.
when Nelson Taylor, young man liv-
ing in the vicinity, came across the
unturned car as he was driving to
town. Sloan's wife had not been un-
easy because she thought he was at
the sheep ranch.
In the early hours of the night the
thermometer was near zero, but the
weather moderated during the night
and an inch of snow fell.
Sloan is now at his home under
doctors care.

Tobacco and Athletics.

George Duff, director of athletics at
the University Of Illinois, who is the
reatest coach of amateur ball players
in the United States, recently said:
There is not the slightest doubt
that the use of tobacco in any form
by growing boys, interferes seriously
with their proper physical develop
ment, while an excessive use has
very deleterious effect upon the ner-
.vous system and brain. So far as l
know, every prominent athletic train
er and coach in the United States abb
olutely prohibits smoking by the men
who are candidates for athletic
teams" Surely the experieces OF
these men are worth something.

FOREST NOTES.

The National Forests of Oregon
and Washington are being protected,
not only from fire, but from the rava-
ges of insects. Occasionally bark
geetles become so destructive on cer-
tain areas that the infested timber
must be promptly cut and burned to
prevent further damage to valuable
timber.
The work of classifying and opening
to homestead entry such lands in the
National Forests as are chiefly valua-
BILE for agriculture is progressing rap
idly. Already over seventy million
acres have been covered by field ex-
aminations and the final reports acted
upon.
Investigations by the Forest Pro-
ducts Laboratory, at Madison Wis
consin, have resulted in the use of
spent tanbark in the manufacture of
asphalt shingles to the extent Of 100
tons per week. The value Of the
bark has been thereby increased from
60 cents to $3.50 per ton.
There were cut from the National
Forests in the fiscal year 1916, 604-
920, 900 board feet Of timber. OF
this amount, 19,4S3,000 board feet
was cut under free use privilege by
42,055 individuals. In all. 10,S40
sales of timber were made, Of which
81 per cent were under 500 in value,
indicating the extent to which the
homesteader, rancher, miner, small
millman, and others in need Of II
mited quantity of timber draw upon
the Forests.
