my favorite writer's are two New

common soldiers. | always watch for
their letter.; not because they have to

Zone of them in particular is a crack
erjack writer. Each week he sends
two letters, one to his mother and the
other to his girl; never more, new less.
And such letters! They never refer to
the war, or anything he is doing, or
what goes on about him. One week,
for instance, he will send to his mother
a ten-page discussion on s'how to roast
a potato in an open freq the next
week his girl will get an essay on s'The
Futility of a Field Omelet,n or a dis
sertation after the n of Fabre on
s'The Perversity of Certain Military In
sects," or "Why Certain Sausages Be-
have Better Than Others in the Frying

those letters. 1t did not occur to him

enormous demands of other war in

production to the danger point.

INVESTIGATION DEMANDED

The most unfortunate incident that
has arisen since this country's entranc,
into the war is the dispute between
the railroads and the brotherhoods OF
trainmen and conductors. The dispute
is frsught with much danger to the
transportation interests Of the country.
The seriousness of the charges made
by Messrs w. G.. Lee and A. Il. Gar
retson. heads Of the trainmen and con-
ductors. respectively. would seem TO
leave the Government no choice but 10
fully investigate the emtire matter.
Messrs Lee and Garretson allege that
the freight congestion is the derect re-
suit Of conspiracy on the part Of the
arrangements of the various systems
to discredit government control and the
eight-hour law. Not only Is this SER
ious charge made by both these great
labor leaders, but il is substantiaied
by numerous other members Of the two
/ brotherhoods.
IL is almost unbelievable that the
heads Of our great transportation sys-
tens could so far forget the first duty
Of American citizens as to exploit their
country in this great crisis Of her his
tory. for purely selfish ends. On the
other hand it is almost unbelievable
that two such prominent leaders of the
people should be deceived into laying a
charge OF such seriousness unless they
were firmly convinced Of its Truth.
The country had thought that the
graceful manner in which government
control was accepted by the manage
ment Of our railroads, that all were in
perfect harmony with the Admlnistra.
ton in the effort to bring the war to
bring the war to a speedy close. We
were feeling proud of our transporta-
ton systems and pointing to them as
evidences Of the deep loyalty Of all
classes of our people. We had also
rejoiced that the great labor organiza-
ticns were standing so staunehly by
the government and would throw their
great strength to the making Of the
world safe for democracy.
But this CONTROVERSY is of too SER
ious a nature to be passed by. II in
wolves two Of the most powerful inter.
ests in the country. and the very life
Of the nation is affected. Ifthe charge
is true. there is treason to deal with.
If false, then two of Americas great
est labor leaders have sadly fallen
down on their jobs and have brought
their organizations into bad repute.
Since the matter has gone so far, il
is up to Congress to thoroughly inves-
tigate. No preiuntory probe should
be tolerated. but the country should be
made fully acquainted with every fact.
The railroads are more than ever the
arteries Of the nation in this crisis, and
consideration for no man or set Of men
should be permitted to interfere with
their free operation.
Use the probe and probe to the
bottom.
