under the Mueller law Would Coz:
sumo the Better part of two years; So
there does. not seem to be any hope
of Immediate relief iii that direction.
The public wants street car service,
and if the street railway officials can
not hold out hope for immediate i'm
provement of the service, then the
city council must do something to
afford that reliefssE:'.$
The city might take hold of the
system and provide the service that
the people are entitled to. This
would be a drastic proceeding but
entirely justifable under all the cir
cumstances.
AS another alternative, the jitneys
might be permitted to run without
oppressive restrictions. These could
take care of the shorter hauls and
permit street cars to be run to the
outlying districts and accommodate
patrons who reside in these sections.
With this arrangement, at least some
/ kind of a schedule could be ad-
hered to.
Objection may be made that such
an arrangement would operate un-
justly towards the company, giving
the short and profitable hauls to the
jitneys and compelling the street rail-
way company to take care of the
long,. Improbable hauls. Our reply
is that the public has suffered long,
has been patient and the time has
come when relief must be forthcom.
ing. Mr.. Warren states that many
of his cars are laid up awaitin g re-
pairs. Perhaps if the jitneys should
come back it would stimulate the

Who knows?
The Labor World appreciates the
position the city council is UP
against. We do not envy the commits
sioners their jobs. But a street rail.
way system should be, first of all, an
agency to serve the public; its func-
ton is not wholly to make profits
Owners Of p rivately owned public
service corporations cannot u ex.
pected to get that vision of the affair
but the public has right to expect
relief, however d drastic the action may
appear that will bring it about.

A HOPEFUL CHRISTMAS.

This is to be Christmas worth
observing. War is over, soldiers have
laid down their arms, and statesmen
are assembling in a parliament Of
nations at Paris to draft a iconstitu::
ton for the United States of the
World. There will be no more war
and no: more cbloodshed, An, era of
peace and good will is to be INTRO
duced in human affairs, and a new
order of thought, long in incubation,
is about t. to t. take Il it's place in the minds
of men and women everywhere. :,
It seems too good to be true, and
yet We sincerely believe the true
friends of justice, liberty and equality
of opportunity will outnumber the
adherents of the old school in the
peace conference. President Wilson,
Lloyd George and Premier Clemen-
ceau will be there, and that is
sufficient for our purpose. Their
thoughts will predominant. It is
their ideals that are shaping destiny,
and will crystalline into new world,
institutions. A new morning is dawn
ing radiant with the splendors of
freedom, and hopeful with the
warmth of human brotherhood.
This Christmas will mark the birth
OF new arrangement in world struc-
ture. The dream of yesterday is the
realization, of today. Racial preju-
dices, kept alive by kings to divide
the people,. will disappear as if by
magic. Education and enlighten-
ment, the offsprings of freedom, will
purge the. world of bigotry and in
tolerance. Open diplomacy and the
removal of economic barriers so long
enjoyed by the privileged, will UNDER
mine the citadels of greed. Moderate
armies and nominal navies for police
purposes only will compel thoughts
of peace more than Of war.
With this program in the making
are we not justified in looking for
ward with hope to the full realization
of the Christian ideal: "Peace on
Earth, Good Will Towards Men,"

TIE STREET RAILWAY MYSTERY

Cars run wild, the public do likewise,
and yellow taxis labelled "special'
know not whe Their they are bound
while the motormen and conductor
cites blandly insist they are really on
their way.
What is to be done to relieve the
situation? Hale the officials into
court to show cause why ADEQUATE
service is not provided? All of which
sounds we'll, but what the people
want Is immediate relief from an ex-
eeedingly vexatious state of affairs.
and not necessarily court action
Infringing out over a period of two or
three years and which might avail
nothing.
Aye, it is the great unfathomable
mystery, the mystery consisting in

who have thus far given no real

IT'S FOR THE BEST. .

Well here we are, back to the dear
old Labor World.Isszs6me what sadder
and trihe wiser from rough voy-
age on the treacherodls sea of politics,
tossed and*' beaten BY. the mad waves
of enmity, and finally stranded on
the shoals of disappointment and
humiliation, with our sails of reputa-
tion badly tattered, and our hull of
character split amidship. A wreck
Ing. crew of good friends are now
bidding on the salvage.
We might have expected our fate.
We were never trained for undersea
navigation, and we were too Simple
to steer clear Of the mysterious cur
rents Of scheming and the hidden
rocks of intrigue. We had no bust
ness to venture away from this port
of service 70 man: and We feel mighty
lucky to- be-. able to hobble back with
sufficient determination in our heart
to give the wheel of life another turn.
So here we are, NO mans master
and MO mans slave >andsback~ to this
labor of love, with little fear of the
plots of our enemies and greatly en-
couraged by the confidence of our
friends. The Labor World will make
good reading as soon as we get our
bearings. There will be no trimming
as there was::in formsr days when we
were Influenced moresor less 10y per-
sonal ambition. We will hit right
from the shoulder, > and we will en-
deavor to play our. part. in making
this better world in which to live.
After all everything happens for
the best. our, country is facing try
Ing problems: : Our LONG: experience
in the labor movement should count
for something in the, work of recon-
struction. The war, brought a better
understanding between capital and
labor than obtained before. This
close relationship must. be-, main
tanned, and it will be if the read
justment program is approached with
honest hearts and earnest minds.
"Our country first, in war and
peace IS not a bad slogan to adopt.
Let each Of us give the best that is
in us to the solution. ofsthe ;perplexing
problems awaiting settlement. Let
US be animated by the same spirit
of patriotism that characterized all
Americans during the war, giving
first thought at all times to the gen.
eral welfare, and there will be no
danger of Kaiserism or ,Bolshevism
In any form in the good old United
States. The patriotism of peace is no
less important than;the patriotism of
war, and it caHr for 10 less heroism
disinterestedness and self-sacrifice.
We are enlisted in this great. serv-
ice of peace and reconstruction. We
bank on our friendship; support US to
the limit in this cause as they have
always done in the past.
