Disunion Among the Shopmen.

While In some places members Of
the railroad shopmen's organization
are returning to work in obedience to
the orders Of their national leaders
and in compliance with the demands
Of the President, elsewhere these
workers are insisting upon the strike,
defying both organization orders and
presidential ultimatum. The Presi-
dents command is, Of course, effective
only so far as it establishes a condi-
ton precedent to consideration of
wage demands. But the organization
orders are supposedly paramount. The
spectacle Of a large section of the
shopmen refusing to heed the COM
mand to return to work given by their
national officers must be disquieting
to leaders Of organized labor. Perfect
discipline has never prevailed univer-
sally in labor ranks. But the average
of obedience to general orders has been
high. To the extent that the labor laws
governing matters Of this character are
ignored by the workers the efficacy Of
organization is weakened. In abso-
lutte union only is there strength. Dis
union through lack Of obedience means
weakness in both offense and defense.

Speed the Price.Breaking!

Through a revival of the food ad-
|ministration machinery, undertaken ny
the Attorney General, it is hoped 70
gain prompt publicity for the guidance
Of the people in the matter OF prices.
Without an amendment Of the food
control act, however, there 10 little to
be expected from publicity alone. The
statute as the President noted to Con-
gress last Friday carries penalties, and
he has asked for its amendment to
put "teeth" in it % well as to extend
its scope beyond the technical period
of war.
The food administration undoubted-
ly accomplished some results for the
checking Of profteering during the
war, but it was without any real
power. It could only cancel licenses
Of wholesalers. Its right to suspend
the operations of retailers, which was
exercised now and then, was never
tested in court definitely. I'm
doubtedly such suspensions had a
moral effect, but the fact remains that
prices were kept high and have con-
tinued to climb despite all efforts.
Placing the reserve Army supplies
of food ON the market will not have .
helpful effect unless this is done on
a large scale throughout the country
simultaneously. The vending Of few
tons here and there will not break
the price trend, save, perhaps, for q
few hours in each community. The
Army foodstuffs must be used as
lever TO force down the general price
list.
Profteering prosecutions to be ef-
fective must also be simultaneous in
different parts Of the country, and
must be vigorously pressed and given
right of way by grand juries and by
courts. II these cases take the usual
course Of slow procedure they win not
yield the results expected and neces-
sary.
Prompt action by Congress on the
bill or bills composing the Presidents
recommendations is also required. In
fact, speed is the whole essence Of the
program Of attack upon the high iv-
ing cost, speed in reorganization Of
food administrative machinery, speed
in selling Army supplies, speed in leg
islation, speed in prosecution. It will
be the cumulative effect Of all these
processes that will break the high mar
ket and bring back normal prices, If
anything can accomplish that result.

Minority Leader Clark is of opinion
that the House. being in session, should
remain in session. In some remarks
made in debate Saturday, he said:
ssWe had better be recognizing con-
d5gions as they are. We are stuck.
We are going to be here until this
time next year, except, perhaps, for a
weeks recess in December for pru-
DENTAL reasons"
This prediction comes from a man
who has seen twenty odd years of con-
gressional service. He has led the ma
jority Of the House, has presided over
the body as Speaker, and is now lead
ing the minority. Surely. a man com
petent to appraise a congressional sit
uation.
Il is not to the point to lament the
fact. as some are doing, that Congress
should have been called together a
soon after the 4th of March as DOS.
sible. There were advocates Of such q
step IN Doth parties. All could see that
much important work was on the card
and should receive early attention.
There was delay. But, after q cou.
pie Of months, the lawmakers were
summoned; and they have been q
work ever since. And there is a good
deal to show for their activities.
But, - Mr.. Clark suggests, the thing
TO do 10 to keep on keeping on. The
general situation is graver than it wal
whom Congress met. It may be srsvel
still two months from now, or ever
earlier. Every week is bringing new
developments. Europe is still very
much unsettled; and that condition Il

for the tripartite control of the rail-
roads of this country find the propo-
sition in general disfavor they have
but themselves to blame for the re-
action that has occurred. They put
the proposition up to Congress in q
manner distinctly calculated to create
. prejudice against it. There was a
definite note of threatening in their
statements, a direct declaration, in
deed, by one of the proponents that
II this plan was not adopted the rail-
roads would be tied into hard knot.
Another spokesman for the Plumb
plan told the House committee that if
the present Congress did not accept
1t the labor interests would make sure
Of . Congress that could be educated
to that end.
Perhaps it was but a coincidence
that simultaneously with the proposal
of the Plumb plan as a remedy for
the high cost of living came the un-
warranted and unauthorized strike of
the railroad shopmen. If it was CO.
incidence it was q most unhappy one
for the Plumb plan, for it gave def
mite point to the suggestion that if
this measure were not enacted into law
the railroads would be "tied into q
knot" II it was not q coincidence, If
It was part of the campaign for com
peling action by Congress, it was a
most stupid blunder, for it aroused
the people Of the country to point
Of resistance that quickly manifested
itself on all sides.
whatever the causes, the fact is
clear that the chances of the Plumb
plans adoption at this session of Con-
Hres, II at all, are much less than
they were q week ago. The plan it.
self has been scored by practically all
interests except those directly afili-
ated with the movement for its adop-
ton. A soon as its terms were ex-
plaiAed--and they had to be explained
almsst Is . brand-new proposition, 90
inadequate had been the preparatory
publicity campaign-the people turned
upon 1t Is dangerous innovation cal
sulated to start this country upon q
socialistie career savoring Of the BUS
sian method.
One Of the causes Of the prompt fe-
action against this measure was the
yessatment still felt by the people for
the coercion exercised three years ago
BY the railroad brotherhoods to secure
the enactment Of the eighth hour law
nader threat Of q complete tieup of
the railroad lines by strike. Only the
fast that this country was conscious
that it was on the eve Of war and
was practically in q state Of war prep
ara*ion through the supplying Of NUM-
tioas to the fighting powers enabled
the brotherhoods to succeed in 1916.
A feeling undoubtedly prevails today
in the country that any hint of force
to compel legislation must be resisted.
Whether they misjudged the spirit Of
the people or not, it cannot be ques-
toned now that those who accom-
snied the demand for Plumb plan
legislation with talk of general strike
and use Of the word revolution have
distinctly "queered the pitch"
