Vote to Yield

The railroad managers and the
brotherhood chiefs had been told Of
the seriousness of the international sit
uation, but the warning apparently had
fallen on deaf ears. 1t was evident that
the strike, which originally had been
set for Saturday evening at o'clock,
but had been postponed to permit of
further negotiations, undoubtedly
would become effective unless some
thing more interviewed than the mere
lomatic relations with Germany might
lead to open hostilties
The Presidents meuiators again COM
municated with the railroad managers,
however, with the result that they are
said to have voted unanimously to yield
to the demands of the brotherhoods in
order that neither at home nor abroad
had there been fear or hope that the
efhclent operation of the railways of
the country would be hampered or i'm
paired"
The agreement which averted the
strike was signed in Secretary Lane :
room at 5:15 Monday morning AS the
last of the nine to sign it attached his
signature, the tension in the little group
relaxed. The managers and the chiefs
shook hands with one another and each
of the Washington mediators.
The sun was just touching the white
fronts of the neighboring skyscrapers
with light. AS the dozen broke into
little groups the room suddenly became
silent and w. II. Carter. of the firemen
and engineers, looking out, said:
Why. look out there. It's the dawn
of a new day"
Evidently Mr.. Carter expressed the
feeling Of all. 1t was the first time
in many years that there had been such
an evidence of friendly feeling between
the men who run the trains and the mer
who manage them. At the bottom of
1T all, was the spirit of patriotism that
carried the day.

Informal negotiations will be start

1t is planned to make American vat
crs safe against submarines for all

American ships will receive full pro-
lection in the war zones from patrols
of the Allies. The plan would neces-
state the interchange of information

size. however, to permit their use far

contentment Of mind. Unreasonable
hours and lack of fair pay impair the
health and breed discomfort.
1T is not, however. a one-sided propo-
sition. The men. having devoted them
selves with the railroads to this public
service, must do their part.
Therefore the movement of trains
must not be stopped by such controver-
sizes. If one arises and both parties can
not agree, Congress can keep trains NOV
ing by fixing the wages and working con-
ditions just as it can settle public con-
troversies as to rates to be charged and
services to be rendered to shippers and
passengers.
THE logical result probably will be the
empowering Of some tribunal like the In
terstate Commerce Commission to settle
labor disputes. This would end strikes
in interstate industrial work and give the
men a tribunal from which they always
could obtain justice

under which rehabilitation of many
national guard units home from the

apparent purpose of holding the troops
in readiness for any necessary duty in
case of a nation wide railway strike.
Until tonight the existence of the order
had been denied at the department and
in finally confirming that it had been
issued officials declined to reveal its
purpose. Secretary Baker said. how
ever, that it had nothing to do with the
international situation.
1t was learned later that it was sent
