there was scarcity and high prices, but
when Industry was fully resumed we
had a long period Of falling prices. 1t is
true that In many instances wages do
not keep pace with commodities when
the latter arc rising but. on the other
hand. wages do not fall as fast as COM
moditles when The latter turn down
ward
Labor generally loses on the rising
scale. but gains on the falling scale, and
the gains last longer than the losses.
Il venture TO predict that the wage
earners will come out Of the situation
the gamers. because the decline In what
they viii buy will be greater than in
wages u has always been so. All the
improvements in industry by invention
and the accumulation Of capital work
for the benefit Of labor.
As for the proposal Of the railroad
brotherhoods that Is not a matter 10 be
discussed In hot blood 70 Is a question
Of national policy TO be settled by fair
discussion, not considering railway
owners and railway workers alone but
the interests OF all the people.
How can the railways be most efl-
clently operated so that the trassports-
tlon charge which the public must pay
shall be as small as is consistent with
Just treatment OF employees? Railway
investors are entitled 10 have a fair re-
turn on their capital as compared with
investors in other industries and en-
ployes are entitled 10 fsir compensation
as compared with employees In other in
dustries. This is the general principle
upon which the railroad problem
should be solved
I don't believe the railroad men
want any more than what they believe
10 be fair. but the leaders are in the
position Of advocates and attorneys.
They see one side Of the case only and
arc mlsled by the vast amount N mis-
information, distorted statements and
half-truihs that are current
THE owners Of securities Of the
principal railroads have nothing to fear
from any fair inquiry into the value OF
the properties. The railroad invest
ments Of this country as class are
Evening journal., 1919-08-15

certainly as clean a. any other form ef
investment.
There have been inscriptions pro-
moters in railroads as in other lines OF
business, but the stockholders have suf-
fered most from them. The great body
Of public railroad financing has been
honest and sound as the whole and The
public has received full value and the
best service in the world.
THE idea that the Government can
borrow in billions OF dollars at per
cent. under present cosditions is mis-
taken one With only a small public
debt as formerly, Government bonds
free OF all taxation were in demand by
a small class OF investors at low rates.
That proves nothing as to the ability
20 float great loans.
Let anyone ask himself how many
people he knows who want per cent
investment 10 would be unjust and
practical Reputation for the Govern
ment, after ascertaining the fair cash
value Of railroad property. TO forclbly
take It over for a Government security
which would not bring Its faoe value on
the public market. According 10 the
argument OF the railroad men in their
own behalf, money has so deprecated
that per cent. con a given sum Is no
more than per cent. flve years ago.
This Is not matter which directly
concerns commercial banks so much as
IL does savings banks, life insurance
companies and private investments. but
whoever has invested in good faith in
railroad securities should have Just
treatment. Moreover. 10 is necessary
that the present holder be treated in
such a manner as will not repel invest
tents in the future
Questions must be thrsshed out in
fair. candid discussios and settled with
a desire 10 deal Justly. Neither side

Present Situation---Wages
Will Not Fall With Prices
SEES REMEDY IN
ORDERLY INDUSTRY

NEW YORK, Aug Thames A. still
nan. president Of the National City
iank, has analyzed the present eco
,omic crisis in an interview with the
-nlted Press, emphasizing the follow
as points
The world Is short Of the COM
mon necessaries Of life. and that is
she first situation 10 be dealt with.
The high cost of living Is the re
suit Of the wars destruction, which
makes The world short Of neces-
saries Of life
'Nage learners Will come out Of
the present economic situation the
gamers.
Labor may lose now. owing 10
high prices but it will gain when
prices drop. because wages will not
recede IN the same ratio.
The present railroad question
should not be considered as a dis
pute between employers and labor
but as one OF national policy
Railroad men are misled by mis-
information distorted statements
and half truths.
Railroad investments as a class
are certainly as clean as any other
form Of investment
The public has received fun
value from the railroads and the
best service in the world
The general situation at this time Is
one which calls for temperate speech, -
any sense Of social responsibility will
want TO say or do anything that will IN
crease the confusion and excitement
which exists
Patience is a great virtue Just now
The world has had enough OF fighting
Organized labor has onlcially indorsed
the League Of Nations on the theory
that the world has reached a stage Of
ciyilizatios where 10 ought 10 be able 10
devise a better way Of settling disputes
between nations than by war
That general principle is just as true
in disputes in industry and between
classes as 10 is IN international affairs.
There should he a better way to settle
them than by strikes ,lockouts or other
means which entail f0ss and suffering
settle our differences without threats
or violence as becomes free people
ANY fair proposition Will win in this
country in the long run.
THE war has interrupted industry
and made many conditions abnormal. II
is responsible for the high cost Of liv-
ing by causing a great scarcity Of all
the necessaries. 10 is just what was to
be expected after the Withdrawal Of so
many millions Of men from production
The remedy is in orderly industry The
whole situation viii right itself as pro-
duciion is increased. Food will go down
and clothing Will be cheaper.

October Weather

1t seems that the Prince of Wales has just
heard about our Indian summer" and is worry
ing about the kind of weather that prevails in
the United States at the end of October. Natur-
ally, familiar with the fogs and damps of the raw
autunns of England and northwestern Europe,
persistent oceanic climatic conditions which led
the French revolutionists when they reformed
the calendar to label October "Brumaire," or
foggy, the young prince is quite unaware that
the continental climate which we share with
Canada normally gives us an October of blue
and gold brliancy, with clear, crystalline skies
the rule, and the only interruption to this type
OF weather, with its sharp tang early frost in
the air. is the return of the dreamy. halcyonic
days which suggest the return of the summer
and have been called POLITICALLY Indian summer
ever since the early Colinial days. The phe-
nomenon of Indian summer has always in
teresed English writers, though most of them
who have discussed it in error as to its
causes, and the phrase long since has played its
part in English literature as synonym for the
peaceful tranquil. golden evenings of life, the
second summer of ones declining days. 1t is
true the meteorologists have shown the phys
cal similarity of our Indian summer to Saint
Martins sumner of November and Saint
Johns summer" of December, which figure in
European folklore. But Indian summer" in
October has quality all of its as the last
gorgeous hues of the maple and dogwoods and
the oaks color the vistas and make late Octo-
Der the most delightful time of the year. So
the prince need not worry about our October
weather. if it be normal it will be quite
tinental and as "American' as anything else
that he will experience over here and quite as
stimulating. and a golden memory he will never
forget.-Philadelp Ledger.

Nebraska's Potash Industry.

When the blockade of Germany shut off the
supply of potash salts supplied by that country
to American manufacturers of fertilizer, great
cry went up on both sides Cotton planters and
farmers along the sandy shores of the Atlantic
bewailed the lack of fertilizer needed to make
their land bear profitable crops, and the Ger
mans rejoiced that the world would be de-
prived of the supplies that could only be grown
by the aid of potash.
1t was then that Americans turned to the
alkaline lakes of the west Much publicity was
given to packing company and great powder
making concern for extracting small quantities
of potash from kelp, but little was said Of the
golden waters of northwestern Nebraska
from which was drawn supply of potash, even
in excess of requirements, SO that when the war
ended large quantities of the precious salt we're
held in storage.
After the armistice began campaign on
part of the southern democrats for the reStora-
ton of the German product to the American
market This can be bought cheaper than the
Nebraska and as millions of pounds of it are
now stored in Germany. awaiting shipment, the
recent order of the Department of Commerce.
lifting the embargo, is hailed with delight by
the fertilizer makers and their customers.
Nebraska was all right when the war was
on but that at peace with Ger
many, let us buy over there because it costs
less The Nebraska potash will keep till an
other war comes, or until the German surplus
flched from the mines of A1sace has been ex-
hausted. Soon we will be buying from France
or from Nebraska, because the German stores
will not last forever, but while Heinie can cut
the price no attention need be paid to Ameri-
can interests.
