There Must Be No Strike

N/IlLE neither the statement OF the Presi
w dent nor that OF the railway brother
hood heads gives fat guarantee that there
will be no strike, the public is given the dis
tinct impression that on understanding was
reached at the White House conference which
will prevent any tie-up in the country's trans
portation system The United States must
not suffer such a calamity as a general rail-
road strike would bring. Upon that point
there can be no possible difference Of
opinion. Even the brotherhood chiefs. who
have spent the past thirty days discussing
in onlinous tones the determination OF their
followers TO quit their posts if more wages
are not forthcoming. dared not reiterate such
warnings after their talk with the President
On the contrary. they expressed the convic-
ton that strike would be the most deplor-
able thing that could overtake the country
at such a time as this.
II is not to be doubted that President
Wilson. in the course of the two-hour con-
ference at the White House. INDUCED in some
very plain II friendly. conversation with the
brotherhood representatives. 1t may we'll be
imagined that he told his visitors that no
nation engaged in a for its life could
allow paralysis OF its whole industrial srs-
tenn, and that q government which failed to
exercise all its powers to prevent such a
catastrophe would be unworthy Of popular
confidence.
1t is easily conceivable that President Will
son went even little further and cand1dlv
reminded the brotherhood chiefs that in the
case Of dire necessity the whole railroad
system Of the country might be placed under
military control, the tranmen drafted into
the military service and the railroad man
ayers subjected 10 orders from government
authority. In his letter inviting the train
men TO confer with him. the Presiden, init
mated broadly that he might find himself face
to face with such possibility as that.
Nobody questions the right OF the railroad
employees TO petition their employers for
more pay. Nobody denies the fact that liy-
ing conditions have reduced materially the
purchasing power Of 4 dollar fact which
railroad managers know and should con-
sider in connection with the demand OF the
trainmen for more money. But there mus.
be found some peaceful means OF bringing
the railroads and their men together IT. the

of our citizenship 100000 men for service
in the military organization in some capacity.
The 90,000,000 OF our population mot in
cluded in this organization are as much obli-
gated to support the great undertaking as
the 100000 enrolled for military service.
Every industry in our midst may Lot be main

directly to the support Of the war must be

supposes such redistribution OF labor as will
count most efectually in the supreme obiec-
tive. To this necessity both labor and capi-
tai should adjust themselves uncompla ninsly
as patriotic duty.
