Pooling The Railroads

Ledger.

been and will bring to them needed
governmental assistanc His position
as secretary of the treasury must, as
the president says, greatly facilitate
financing the railroads so as to enable
them to make their necessary repairs
and tide them over difficulties in
which their weakened and waning
credit has involved them Surely con-
gress viii not withhold action to this
end.
In governmental control the neces-
sary adjustments of compensation will
secure practical pooling of earnings, q
great advantage in the present emer-
gency. So, too the nagging restric-
tons imposed by state commissions
may be mitigated at the discretion Of
the director. The relation between the
government director and the Interstate
Commerce Commission will secure
more helpful action by the latter than
when the railroads are under one so
close to the president. This will help
solve labor difficulties which are sure
to press at this juncture and which
may have to be solved as the English
government has solved them
The gloom which has pervaded the
railway offices Of the country for
months should be Hghtened The coun-
try is to be congratulated on the pres
idehtS action.

The news that the president has put
the railroads under government direc-
ton is welcome on the whole. The Sc
lection OF Mr. McAdoo for the su-
premely important place of director is
a good one While Mr.. McAdoo has
had little experience in the actual
operation OF railroads, he has had
much in railway construction and
general corporate matters, especially
Ion the financial side. AS he is to con
tinue at the treasury he cannot be ex-
pected to give minute supervision to
railway operation. He musician on
the present admirably constituted War
Board of Railroads, which is to be con-
tinued. His appointment win give
them the power which they need to
make their coordination of the rail
roads a success. He is so close to the
real and sole seat Of power in Wash
ington that delays in decision. hereto
fore obstructive in other fields of ext
gent goyernmnt activity, may in rail
way matters be avoided.
Mr. McAdoo's superintendent of the
railroads will doubtless be sympathet-
ic The burden and complexities of
their operation have been almost more
than their managers could bear. Now
they may well feel relief because Mr.
McAdoo, with his experience, will
realize how difficult their task has

EVERY REvElLLE A NEW YEAR,

Any moment may mark the height
of that tide in the affairs Of men,
which taken at it's flood leads on to
fortune" The golden gates of any
morning may open on avenues of sue
cess undreamed. On any unheralded
day one may perhaps hear the call Of
unprecedented opportunities. Fortune,
honor, the developing spiritual life, the
eternity Of God-may hinge on the
events of some short period of stress
and strain, Of moral struggle.
Every reveille awakens the soldier
to a new year The sunrise gun booms
sometimes on deaf ears, but it calls
some to a glad performance of service,
which, however seemingly mental, may
be of incalculable Importance to the
world
But the first day of each recurring
january seems in a striking way the
beginning Of a new epoch-and to
some it is. Who with the dying year,
does not think of it's sorrows, its sins,
its successes, its service who does not

Of an evil life-his willing submission
to some degrading vice or appetite!
And when taps" is sounding for the
dead year. and in the solemn hush
which follows, what soldier is there
who does not determine to correct the
mistakes of the past-to be more
worthy of his mother, his country, his
God!
Resolutions are written. New leaves
are turned in the book of life. Old
enemies of our souls are throttled. The
deep dug trenches of bad habit are
stormed and yield to our onslaught.
With God as our ally. we can win a
complete victory
Fortunately the New Year is yelled.
We see but step at time. But
whatever the year has in store for us
as individuals or as a nation, we can
still by helpfulness and heroism make
our lives sublime We may do our
utmost to promote internal reforms in
our country and to make her victorious
over her foes.
Surely Ammo Domini 1918 is also a
year of our Lord. G. B. L.

And if you heard the frightened cry

The world is now our neighbours yard
And there the wild beast roams;
And all the children of the earth
Are menaced in their homes.

SOME PICKETING ILLEGAL

Little Rock, Ark.-By a three to
two vote the state supreme court has
ruled that it is unlawful for strike
pickets to carry a banner in front of
a non-uniOn concern.
The court does not deny the right
of workers to picket, but distinguishes
between that right and when it is
carried on as indicated above.
The court said that "the labor union
or its representatives and employees
had the right to exhibit the placards
in question to the public, but it is a
far different thing to say that the
right to exhibit these placards to the
public carried with it the right to
patrol or to picket appellee's (the
employers places of business with
these placards so as to interfere with
his lawful business"
In effect, the court rules that the
story Of antagonism to fair conditions
on the part of an employer may be
scattered broadcast by trade union
lists in this state, but it must not be
told in front of the employers place
Of business.

UNITY BRINGS CHANGES

Clarksburg, w. Va. - Seventeen
years ago Mother Jones was arrested
by United States marshals and taken
at night to Parkersburg and placed
in jail with eight union miners for
violating a federal injunction.
Five years ago two miners were
notified that if they distributed bills
announcing an address by Mother
Jones in this city they would be shot
to death.
This year one Of the features of
Clarksburg's Fourth of July celebra-
ton was a parade of union miners
and other workers. AS orator of the
day Mother Jones headed the parade
in a carriage in which were also
seated the mayor and the chief of
police.

REJECTS BORLAND
PROPOSAL

Washington. - The National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees has
scored heavily by President Wilson's
veto of the Borland amendment to
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, which provided
that the work day of government en-
ployes should be increased from seven
to eight hours.
Under the present law government
officials can extend the work day
when conditions warrant. Congress-
man Borland urged that the eight
hour day be mandatory, and cited
organized labor's position on the
eight-hour day. The American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor assisted the gov
ernment employees and showed that
the Borland plan did not provide for
overtime and that not single depart
ment executive had suggested that
this legislation is necessary.
Mr.. Borland insisted that his
amendment would result in great
saving to the government, and his
opponents replied by asking why he
did not favor reducing the amount
of the appropriation carried in the
bill.
In vetoing the bill President Wilson
said:
"At the outset of the war | felt it
my duty to urge all employers in the
United States to make a special effort
to see to it that the conditions of
labor were in no respect altered un-
favorably to the laborers.
Having taken this position in an
earnest appeal to other employers,
/ do not feel justified in asserting to
measure in which the United States
as an employer changes the condi-
tions of the labor of it's own employees
unfavorably to them, and | feel the
freer to take this position because
/ have not learned from any quarter
that the employees of the government
of the district have been slack in their
labor or have demurred from doing
any of the necessary additional tasks
which the time and the exigencies re-
quire On the contrary, l have learn
ed that they have cheerfully done
additional labor and have not needed
the compulsion of law"

"WORK- -OR-FIGHT" LAW VETOED

Phoenix-Governor Hunt has vetoed
a proposed "work- k-or-fght" law be-
cause it was passed by the state legls-
lature without due regard for condi-
tions in this state.
He says it is not a question of eff
tional ideals, and that when it be-
comes necessary to cOnscript labor
and wealth, such action should be a
national policy and not left to the
varying actions of the states.
"The chief industry in this state" ="
he says, "is mining, and practically
all the companies do not give en-
ployment to men over 45 years of age.
The bill, which l am disappearing,
requires all men to work up to the
age of 60. If men who have reached
the advanced age of between As and
60 years are compelled to work in a
state that limits their usefulness
proper safeguards must be placed
around the fields that are open to
them. Farming, for instance, is a
new industry in this state, and with
out any legal restrictions or prOvi-
sions of employment. If this bill
covered provisions for minimum
wage, housing conditions or any pro-
vision whatever insuring a decent and
American standard of living for work
ers, it might justify telling man of
advanced years he must work at least
SO hours a week, in state where his
field of activities is greatly limited.
"The bill passed, to me, is drastic
and shows little time and study in
its preparation, but, rather, tends to
that form of war hysteria which is
so apt to infict upon the people of
our country the very obnoxious form
of tyranny which we object to so
strongly in our enemies and would
be apt to make a mockery of the
very democracy which we are fight
ing to preserve.
Nothing in the Investigations that
have been conducted throughout the
state convinces that we have any
real vagrancy problem. We have a
certain labor shortage, but that must
not be confounded with the question
of vagrancy. Vagrancy exists chiefly
in communities that sanction whisky
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-07-26

and prostitution. Our state, having
eliminated both of these evils, is re-
markably free from the professional
vagrant The government is wisely
and actively considering the question
of labor shortage and vagrancy. Gen
eral Crowder's recent work -or-fight'
order for men Of draft age will elm
mate young men from unnecessary
industries. The department of labor
is efficiently assuming charge of the
entire labor question, and all employ
ers have been requested to secure
their labor through government agen-
cies. In this state an order has been
issued prohibiting outside concerns
from coming in and securing labor
to take outside the state The effect
of House bill No. 2, if approved,
would, am convinced, merely be to
keep labor from the state and divert
it to other states where the laws are
more compatible to our ideals of gov
ernment.
"The bill carries no emergency
clause, and, in any event, could not
become law until 90 days have
elapsed. That would make it effective
at a date close to the fall elections,
in view of which fact-and if any
such legislation is necessary-it had
far better be placed before the people,
through the initiative. In a state
whose constitution provides for direct
government by the people, no one has
the right to assume responsibility
for a measure that would appear to
attack the very bulwarks of our form
of government"

10 LABOR UMPIRES NAMED

Observation-Disclosures Wilson has
named 10 men to act as umpires in
controversies which cannot be settled
by agreement of the membership of
the national war labor board.
They are Henry Ford, of Detroit;
Matthew Hale, of Boston; James Har-
ry Covington, Of Washington, former
ly chief justice of the District Of Col
umbia supreme court; Charles Cald-
we'll McChord, of the interstate COM
merce commission; V. Everit Macy,
of New York; Judge Julian William
Mack, Of Chicago; Henry Suzzallo,
president Of the University of Wash
ington; former Governor John Lind,
Of Minnesota; William R. Wilcox, of
New York city, and Walter Clark, of
Raleigh, N. c., chief justice of the
supreme court Of North Carolina.
When the war labor board fails to
agree in controversy the matter will
be referred to an umpire selected
from the above list. The umpire will
be chosen by unanimous vote of the
board members. In case the vote is
not unanimous the name will be
drawn by lot.

Mooney in Shadow of the GaIIOws
Labor Representatives Meet in Washington Next Mon
day--President Will be Asked to Take Case Out of
California State Courts War Measure

In addition to pointing out the gov
ernment's needs to allay distrust
among the working classes Of allied
countries by guaranteeing a new trial
for Mooney, speakers at the coming
rhass meeting in Washington will
inaugurate a fresh and determined
campaign for the liberation of Warren
x. Billings, the 21-year-old boy now
serving a life sentence for alleged
completely in the bomb explosion.
The bitter injustice of Billings in
generation lies in the fact that he
was convicted almost entirely on the
testimony Of Estelle Smith, the wom-
an who has since the trial made a
complete confession of her perjury
and Of the bribe of $4,000 offered
her by members of the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce.
Following the conviction of Billings,
an effort was made by the labor
haters to convict Mrs. Mooney and
Isadore Weinberg on the same testi-
mony used against Billings. By that
time, however, the corruption of Dis
trict Attorney Fickert and his wit
nesses. was so clearly shown that Mrs.
Mooney and Weinberg were quickly
acquitted.
Weinberg, it should be remembered,
was charged with having driven the
automobile in which Mooney is said
to have carried the suitcase full Of
dynamite to the scene of the explo-
sion. The evidence used against him
was exactly the same as that brought
against Billings, before the exposure
Of Oxman and Estelle Smith had oc-
Cured. Weinberg is free, and Billings
is serving life term in prison.
1t is worth recalling that a tran
script of the Billings trial-even be-
fore the exposure of perjury used in
convicting him-persuaded W. Bourke
Cochran, after a careful reading, that
Billings was innocent, and induced the
Brooklyn lawyer to cross the con-
tinent and give his services without
pay to the defense Of the Mooney
prisoners.
