One OF the interesting gatherings Of tho week has
been that Of the Federation Of Labor which has been III
session IA. st. Paul. This Is the greatest labor meeting
OF the year. ana its deliberations are highly important.
the delegates have given an impressive denomination
OF their loyalty to the nation, and in a message to Presi.
dent Wilson President Gompers stated their sentiments
and delivered their pledge Of hearty and united support.
The president has taken a hand in the telegraph
situation. and in a letter to the heads Of the employing
companies he urged as q patriotic duty acceptance Of the
terms recommended by the war labor board, Those
terms Of settlement were believed by the eminent Nom
bers of the board to be fair and reasonable. The repre-.
sentatives Of the employees agreed to accept them: but
the companies hung back. The presidents message was
followed by the announcement Of acceptance by the
Postal company. ana Of the fact that the reply OF the
Western Union will be made on Monday. II that reply
is unfavorable action will undoubtedly be taken by tho
government to prevent a strike. Whether this will be
through tAe taking over Of the business by the govern
ment or in some other way is a matter Of comparative
Indifference to the public.
An interesting indication Of the policy to be pursued
by the government with reference to the railroads is
found in the announcement by Director General McAdoo
that the government will spend this year in round num-
bers a billion dollars on permanent railway construction
work. This will be largely in the building Of sidines.
improvement OF terminals and purchase of rolling stock.
The greater part of this money will be spent in the ter
ritory north of the Ohio and east Of the Mississippi.
where both population and freight congestion are great
est, and where there is. therefore, the most need for rail-
way Improvement.

THE PRESIDENT Mods

There is an adage about a nod being az good a. a
wink. The saying is capable Of several constructions.
but the words have often been suggested Of late by the
suggestions that have come from the White House in
relation to various matters Of public Importance.
On a number Of occasions the President has suggest
ed in rather mild terms that a certain course of action
would be proper with reference to some pending matter
OF controversy, and Immediately the controversy has
been disposed OF. 1t cannot be said that in all cases tho
parties primarily affected have yielded with perfect will
ineness. To their credit it may be said that in most
cases they have accepted the Presidents decision and
followed his recommendation from a patriotic desire to
cooperate with the government in every possible man.
ner. and to avoid making their own affairs a cause Of
embarrassment to the nation. There have been other
cases In which there is room for the belief that the
yielding has been prompted by the knowledge that con-
cealed IN the presidential grove was a hand Of iron, and
that in case Of necessity the grip Of that hand would be
felt in full force.
The President has nodded in connection with the
difference between the telegraph companies and their
employees. He reviews the decision of the war labor
board covering all the points at issue. The employees ex-
pressed their willingness to accept that decision, but the
companies refused. Matters proceeded until a great
telegraph striketwas seriously discussed. The President
enters the situation with a very earnest suggestion to
the telegraph companies that they also assent to the
decision Of the board. and immediately the Postal COM
pany fell into line. The answer Of the Western Union,
it is announced, will be filed on Monday.
The recommendation Of the President is made mild
ly. but very earnestly. And from its tone. as we'll as
from tho necessities Of the case. it may be taken for
granted that If the course urged, should not be taken,
steps would Immediately be taken by the government. to
avert a strike and maintain Uninterrupted the com1nuni-
cations Of the country. Just what steps might be taken
is a matter of minor concern. The country is not spe.
cially interested at this moment in questions Of public
ownership or operation. It is interested in obtaining
service, and it will demand the service, no matter what
measures are necessary to secure it.

CHEERFUL COOPERATION

MI. Hoover suggests that the American peopla eat
less beef until further notice. in order that a proper
supply may be kept going across the seas to our soldiers
and our allies. Very well, less beef it is. We will eat
less beef and more Of something else. Some time ago,
because of conditions then existing, an effort was made
to curtail the consumption Of pork, because that meat
was the ono specially needed. And the people respond
ed, cheerfuly and promptly. They will be as prompt
and cheerful now in substituting pork for beet. They
have cut down their consumption Of wheat nour by more
than 50 per cent, and thousands OF. persons who never
tasted any but tho whitest Of bread are using all sorts of
coarse substitutes, and paying more money for them,
and acting as II they enjoyed everything but tho price
feature Of the case. ~
Under tho pressure Of war emergency the govern
ment has stepped in and undertaken the regulation OF
the private affairs Of the people in a remarkable man
ner. Not only in the matter Of price, but in methods of
doing business. is permission to use this or that COM
