A Compromise in Wages.
the Shreveport Caucasian,

From the Shreveport Cancasida.l
The industrial peace of the United
States is threatened with strikes. The
menace, which is serious. may he avert
ed. since it is now apparent that the
railroad men will accept the comprO-
mise offered by President Wilson. 1t
is being estimated that over two mil
lion men are in the mood of striking.
There prevails general unrest. result
in. from the decentralization which fol
lows the horrors of war. Wages have
been increased steadily but are mad
e,luate to meet the demands of living.
since the prices for everyday needs
have scared beyond all limitation. 4
general railway strike at this time
would paralyze every industry in the
United States The grievances. OF
which there are strenuous complaints
would become intensified. A strike OF
this character would he equivalent t.
revolution.
Who would profit from such an up
heaval?
Thousands would he involved III
ruin.
As expressed ut Il conference of of
ficialS of the unions with Samuel Com
pcrS president and other members OF
the American Federation of Labor in
ATTENDANCE. it was said if there was
to lie strike. every class of railwa!
employees should he willing to join ii
the movement. but quoting the report
1T is our honest Judgment that /,
fatal mistake would be made by ou1
members to assume the responsibility!
of tying up the railroads at this time
when the President is evidently doin:
all possible to reduce the high cost o
living. 1t is but fair to assume tin
President will have the loyal supper
of IL majority of the American public
in his effort to procure this mucl
needed relief We would. no doubt. b.
charged with obstructing his efforts. .
1t should be understood, however
that if the Government fails to effec
Il substantial reduction in the cost o
living within Il reasonable time. WI
reserve the right to put the strike vot
into effect"
1t has been believed that in ninet.
days the profiteerS will have beel
brought to their senses through con
gresSionll legislation. that will operat
effectively If not, the strike delayed
may become effective.

Prohibition and Thrift.
IN the American issue.

From the American Issue
Evidence is coming from all direc-
tons that prohibition Is promoting
thrift among the people. The number
of bank depositors and the sum total
of the bank deposits are increasing
greatly. Real estate transactions are
more numerous. Not only are more
people purchasing homes for them
selves. but homes already purchased
are being put in better repair House
hold furnishings are better, as also
clothing and food supplies.
The recent demands Of hotel and
restaurant walters for increased wages
is Il side evidence of this thriftiness.
The walters allege as the reison for
their demand. that where a customers
brain is fired with drink he tips much
more generously than the same man
will do when he is sober.
1t is in the interest of our whole
people that the citizens of the nation
make the most judiciouS use Of theil
funds. The citizen will be more self
poised and independent. and the sun
total of our national wealth will be
greater

WHY a League of Nations.

From Successful Fd'minJ.l
1t NAV not he Il perfect state paper.
1t may have some faults that will have
to he corrected later. Our own Con-
stitution has been amended. yet it Is
conceded to he one Of the most perfect
instruments ever drawn. When many
nations instead of the people Of one
ntaion. attempt to draw up articles Of
agreement, it is natural that the result
is compromise.
1t must he the present constitution
for a League of Nations or none at all.
Amendments must come when neceS-
sary. Perfection to begin with Is I'M
attainable. \ demand that the con-
stitution be perfect. that it suit every
objecting lawyer who wants to air his
legal knowledge. is absurd. The queS-
ton is, shall we prevent future wars
or not?
The question of our unpreparedneSs
had less to do with the beginning OF
the war than the question of what
nations would participate. Had Ger
many ever dreamed that England
would side with Belgium, and that
Italy would violate the Triple Alliance
between Austria. Germany and Italy
and that the United States would
eventually side with the enemies OF
Germany. there would have been nt
| war.
The war formed two leagues OF ma
tions-those associating themselves
with the Central Powers and those
who allied themselves against this
greedy. military power. The big league
whipped the lesser. What we wan
now is a perpetual league Of nations
which will stick together, IL league
composed of the stronger nations Il
least. so that it will be known in al
vance what may be expected if an!
nation starts IL war. None will IN
started with such IL league IN existence
Germany is anxious to be a member
the League of Nations.
\ reduction in ornaments. leavin
only IL national police force; abolish
ment of compulsory training and sc
cret diplomacy. and government OWL
ership of all munition plants will max

in. When we get back to normal thinF
ing. and our war-Shattered nerves qui
twitching in fear. we can amend til

if need he. What we want now Is
beginning to the end Of war. If thi
is the way you feel about it. let you

He saws that in his opinion had there
been a strict enforcement OF the law
regarding vice. gambling and illegal
lipuor selling. there would have been
no race riots in Chicago. Thus liquor,
and not prohibition, is one big contrib
uting factor in the case.
The liquor interests have published
the statement that riots and disturb
ances will follow prohibition. Are
they making good this covert threat
in Chicago!
But. after all. the lesson of the riot
may he worth more than the cost. 1t
certainly will he if citizens generally
will heed it's teachings. Mr.. Thrasher
fixes the responsibility equally upon
the citizen and the derelict official.
The citizens offenSe. he said. Is repre-
scented in his Indifference to law ell
forcelnent. and concludes:
Unless citizens and officials JOIN
hands in demanding and securing IA
better enforcement of those laws which
affect public morality. we may expect
a reign of lawlessneSS in Chicago COM
pared with which the recent Outbrea K
has been but Il mere amateur perform
ance.''
1t will be observed that he does not
advocate surrendering to the vice ring
as IA preventive of riots. He advocates
conquering these forces that have
brought about the disturbed condition,
gamblers. vice lords. and booze sellers.
That is good doctrine. In other words.
the lesson in it all is for the forces OF
righteousness to line up solidly against
these criminals who are defyinS the
law and elect and support officials
who will execute the laws as they are
written.
