COURTESY ON THE RAILROADS

THE ancient disposition of one class of
- Government employees to regard cour
tesy as a negligible factor in the days
work seems to have afflicted some of the
railroad operatives at the instant when
they found themselves under Federal con-
troll. Otherwise A. NJ. Smith regional di-
rector in the eastern district, would not
have found it necessary to issue the sharp
rebuke which has just been sent to Off
cals and employees against whom COM
plants were made by travellers.
Courtesy makes life easier Private
ownership recognized this rule. and It
recognized. too the propriety and wisdom
of meeting its public in a helpful and
cheerful mood. If railroad men are to
become Germanzed under Federal control
and in the absence of the competition
which made courtesy necessity of the
days work, then most people will hope to
see the old order restored at the earliest
possible moment.

BACK TO THE LAND

THOSE who love to toy with theories and
L the like have begun to wonder about
the ultimate result of a universal increase
in the costs of transportation. In Read
ing a trolley ride now costs eight cents.
Gasoline and automobiles are TO be taxed
anew. That, of course, will force great
many persons to use the street railways
with n view to economy. But II trolley
fares continue TO go up, good many peo-
pie will feel that they cannot afford ID
ride at all. They will walk.
Now walking takes a lot Of time if one
has to walk far. Industries are conducted
on the theory of quick transportation.
When thousands of workers decide to walk
to and from their employment industry
will not be speeded up. 1t will be slowed
down. And yet the general public will
not be able TO save money, because shoe
leather is still going up in price.
These are complicated days.

"State House" will hereafter be closed

America.

In Defense of Labor

TO the Editor OF the Euening Public Ledger:
Sir-ln yesterdays papers there appeared
an ad asking mechanics to stick to their
jobs and claiming that the discomfort Of
labor and It's shifting around is due to Hun
propaganda. However, we have the state
ment, OF the war labor board in Washing
ton that the remedy for this condition IL
to be found only in the standardization Of
wages.
Not only would this stabilize the labor
market but the production of war material
would increase at least 40 per cent You can
not blame skilled man, with the cost of liv-
ing continually mounting, for trying to inn
prove his Ncondition.
