LABOR is ON TRIAL

Following our declaration of wal

dustry pledged their answering 10y

resources at the service of the Govern
ment. Loudest of all was the voice
of organized labor If we judge ii by
the utterance of its chief spokesman
no advantage was TO be taken OF the
nations necessity to change existing
standards
The country received organized la
bor's pledge in gOou faith. Even now.
with an overwhelming wealth OF evil
dence to the contrary. the nation is
loath to believe that this profession
of loyalty was merely an efficient and
convenient mask for selfish and trait
orous efforts to gain special ends at
the expense of the national existence.
This is a stern indictment, but one
justified by existing conditions. A
glance at file of newspapers for the
last seven months reveals one section
of the country after another. from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf, hampered
and delayed in its war work by a
craftily planned strike in some vital
industry. No example need be cited.
for every reader knows of instances
within his own community which are
ample proof OF this statement. The
number. no matter how large or small.
does not concern US as much as the
cause When investigation discloses
that the majority of these strikes were
direct violations of organized labor's
pledge-when it becomes evident that
organized labor is willing to sacrifice
national efficiency for selfish gain in
the form of exhorbitant increase in
wages, unreasonably short hours. and
a wasteful enforcement of the closed
shop principle-it then becomes time
to look at the issue from a larger
viewpoint than that of the parties di-
rectly concerned. The situation has
now become national menace. cry

1t will be evident to anybody who
considers the matter with an open
mind that the transportation problems
can best be solved by traffic experts.
Why cannot the railroads be told how
much food and how much fuel must
be moved in given direction in a
given time. and then let the traffic
managers find the means to meet the
requirements? Ii these experts can
not solve the problem it cannot be
solved. Least of all can it be solved
by the issue of priority orders. at
the request first of this authority and
then of that, regardless OF their con
flicts with one another or the avail
ability of facilities and equipment
Congestion can best be prevented and
transportation accelerated by the IN
interrupted flow OF traffic; and to
assure this nobody is more competent
than the men who know what equip
ment is available and who have spent
their lives in learning how to get
the greatest possible amount of work
out of the same.-Philadelphia Rec
