Government Control of the Wires
lFrom Dc New York SUM-

The same considerations which led to
ule assumption Of control over the rail-
roads by the Government apply to the
telegraph, telephone. cable and wire
less systems. It is essential to the
successful conduct OF the war that
their service shall be uninterrupted by
strikes or lockouts, that the needs OF
the Government shall be provided for
first in their operation. that their faclll-
ties shall be denied 10 enemies Of the
country, and that divergent policies OF
administration shall not interfere with
the largest possible use OF their plants.
Under private direction the com
panies have been absolutely at the ser
vice Of the Government. There has
been no finer exhibition OF unwaverlng
loyalty than that which they have
given. Their obedience to the rules
laid down for their guidance has been
unquestioRlng, sympathetic and eflec-
tive. Likewise. II is highly improbable
that restrictions on communications ia
the enemy can be more severe under
Government control than they have
been under the close cooperation be-
tween Government and owners that has
prevailed since we entered the war.
But the situation now existing, the
telegraphers' union having called
strike for July 8, reveals a weakness
that might bring dire results. The
disconnected operators, being in private
employ, feel that their right to quit
work Is unqualified, and the threat to
utilize IT has been uttered TO compel
their private employers to grant their
demands, The employers, on the other
hand convinced that the demands made
on them are unjust and cannot be
granted without seriously endangering
their property, naturally and justly re-
fuse TO be coerced. Under such cir
cumstances the rights and the necessi- |
ties of the public, vitality bound up
