from Congress that his strike prevention
plan cannot be written into law. The
chief defense of presidential interference
was that the railroad strike threat was
"a situation that must never arise again"
but it has arisen. Congressman are, Of
course, more fearful than the President
OF labor, which has opposed a measure
to make strikes unlawful pending inves-
tigation The voters have nothing more
TO give or withhold from Mr.. Wilson, but
the Congressman come up for reelection
next year, Tho perils which confront his
railroad program present a situation
which will test how far the President
still considers himself the supreme leader
OF his party.

The trouble with New York as a port
and the reason that commerce is grad
ually slipping away to other ports
seems to be that the railroad terminals
are nearly all on one shore and the
piers of the steamship lines are nearly
all on the other shores-News item in
New York Sun.
This is why Philadelphia, with a
long water front directly accessible from
the railroads, is bound to increase its
foreign trade, Proper cooperation he.

can give US an equipment of piers and
terminals which viii reduce the cost OF
transfer from ship to train to a minimum.

Talk on War Situation.

An exceedingly instructive talk was
given Tuesday evening by Robert II New
comb of Maiden, Mass, on the various
phases of the war situation. good
sized audience was present in the town
hall and listened to the speaker with close
interest. Mr.. Newcomb, of the Boston g.
Maine railroad company was one of the
representatives sent several times to
Washington in conference on the rail
road situation throughout the country.
He gave accurate and detailed informa.
ton of what it means for this county to
take up the burden of war. ut is best,
said he, to know just what we are up
against 1t we don't make sacrifices we
will find ourselves paying Germany's war
debt. IF New England is not to be cold
and hungry this winter New England
must learn degree of frugality she has
never known before"
| Mr.. Newcomb spoke convincingly of the
lack of preparedness throughout the coun.
| try at the outbreak of the war and of the
wonderful strides which have been made
since that time.
He gave accounts of the work of the Red
Cross in creating an atmosphere of clean
| illness and purity for the boys of this
country who in the relaxations from grim
duty will have no homes in which to re.
main A rising vote of thanks was given
Mr.. Newcomb by the audience at the
close of the address.
