Editorial Opinion
LABOR UNIONS SHOULD
I'D
REBUkE THEM.


From the Boston Transcript,
Sporadic strikes OF railrosd employees
throughout the country represent CON
duct which the leaders Of labor should
be the first 10 rebuke and discounten-
ance. Under the circumstances these
strikes are wholly intolerable lt is
not only that the demonstrations are
ill-timed, occurring as they do only q
few days after the announcement Of one
OF tho most liberal increases Of wages
ever accorded by any employer, pri-
vate or public. 10 is also that they
flaunt defiance In the face Of the COM
pact which the government has ar
ranged for the peaceable settlement OF
all disputed points In the new wage
scale.
There has been neither time for these
striking employees 10 submit their re-
quests 10 the new arbitration board for
review, nor apparently any disposition
on their part 30 seek out its decision.
They have avoided its judgment despite
the fact that the memi crship of this
board is evenly divided between repre-
sentstiyes Of the United states Railroad
Administration and the officials OF the
mems own organizations Il is to be
assumed that the oountry's responsible
labor leaders will promptly put down
such insubordlnation in war time. II
they do not, then Director General Nc
Adoo should accept no course Of COM
promise toward the striking workers, |
but show them, now or never, the pow
er Of the federal government 10 en-
force its decrees.

War--As Waged by German Submarines

the German submarine commander OF
the U-i5i cast adrift all the passengers
OF the Carolina-consisting OF many
women and children-and left them,
nifty miles Off shore, to the mercy Of an
approaching thunderstorm.
The miracle that saved many OF them
was not OF the German commanders
doing.
II was as much murder TO do what ne
did as II would have been had he sunk
the Carolina with all on board.
This sort Of thing is not war-it is
cold-blooded assassination, and OF
harmless non-combatants.
The world will never be safe as long
as atrocities like these are practiced.
The people Of America are determined
upon that.
They are determined to win the war,
and to stamp out such practices for
ever.
And the Kaiser's raid on our coast
has only strengthened that determina-
tion and made every man and woman
OF America resolve so TO end this war
that such things shall never again be
possible in a civilized world.
Evening journal., 1918-06-13

The American people are not TO be
frightened by any submarine raid that
can be made on this coast.
Sooner or later-sooner we trust
there will be no more other side Of the
ocean.
The vigilance OF the nayies OF three
nations has attended to that.
The Germans are building them fast
er than ever-but their number is not
ncreasins-indeed, It seems to be d.
mlnlshing.
All that the Kaiser and his sea lords
have done In this raid is to bring home
to the American people the necessity
OF stamping out the Teuton method OF
warfare forever.
