Editorial Opinion
DIsLOYALTY AND FOLLY.


From the New York Tribune
The report comes from well in
formed railroad circles that the four
brotherhoods, unwilling to wait any
longer for the Supreme Courts de-
cision on the constitutionality of the
eight-hour law, are going to call a
general transportation strike. Il is
hard to believe that the brotherhoods
will be guilty OF so monstrous an out
rage and, from the point of their own
interest, so monumental a blunder
This Is the time-above all tines
for national cooperation and ma
tional unity.
The Drotherhoods. made demands
last summer for a higher wage rate
per hour. threatening a general strike
unless those demands were acceded
to. Congress passed law making
their pay for eight hours work what
II had formerly been for ten hours
work. The Supreme Court is about
TO decide whether the law is consti-
tutional.
To refuse to await that verdict il
10 show contempt for the orderly
processes of Government The broth
erhoods submitted their case to Con-
gress and the courts They are bound
in equity and decency to let their
appeal take its course-to hear what
the court of final resort says before
taking any other action.
So much for the insult to Congress
and the judiciary involved in the new
strike threat. AS for its general pol
icy, that is one of incredible folly. 1t
means nothing less than suicide for
the four brotherhoOds. The people
will not submit 10 being made victims
OF a general interruption Of transpOr.
tation. There is a shortage Of food
everywhere. TO shut off freight SER
vice now would mean universal suf-
fcring. Il would lead to an irresisti-
bic popular demand for the suppress
sion of the labor unions responsible
for the strike
But there is something still more
serious. The United States is practi-
cally in a state Of war. The railroads
are primary instrumentalities of ma
tiOnal defence. They must continue
to do their work or the Governments
becomes impOtent In cases OF a
strike the Government will have no
recourse but to take over the opera
ton Of the railroads and TO proceed
against the conspirators who are try
ing TO cripple their service.
In the present crisis general
strike is unthnkable. The idea OF II
is abhorrent 10 every true American.
If it comes, those who participate in
it will learn to their sorrow what il
means to arouse this nations wrath
by an exhibition of selfishness and
disloyalty in time Of peril.

WHAT PRICE, THIS FRIENDSHIP!


Being at peace with Germany.
though she has slain more than 200
OF our citizens on the high seas. and
with Mexico, though fully as many OF
our people have met death in most
cruel form on her soil, there is no
particular reason for us to be excited
because the twain have perfected a
system of wireless communication.
Under the circumstances there is
nothing for us to do. So long as VIC
have no more than a diplomatic quar-
rel with Germany we cannot protest
Mexicos furnishing her with all de-
sired information by wireless, nor re-
ceiving from her orders to be trans
mitted to the thousands Of spies and
emissaries of unrest ene Kaiser has
scattered about our territory
Nor can we object effectively If, as
Is reported, an army of German re-
servists from the United States is mo-
bilizing across the border in Mexico
to do us injury. What right have we
to complain if subjects of a friendly
Power desert for a time our friendly
territory to seek that of a friendly
neighbor?
The price we are to pay for all this
earnest friendship will be revealed
sooner or later.
II may be revealed before Congress
meets on April 16, in extra session az
