The Actors Strike.

Now the actors have caught the
strike fever. As result Of q recent
organisation and the presentation Of
demands upon the managers that were
ignored enough Of them struck last
night in New York to close fifteen
theaters. Some Of the managers tried
to carry on the shows with under
studies and curtailed performances,
but the audiences would have none Of
that sort Of thing and demanded their
money back, with the result that the
houses were darkened. Now the man
ayers declare that they will fight the
union, which has the title of an "equity
association" and there may be merry
war on Broadway. An actors strike
is somewhat Of novelty. Some years
ago an organization was formed among
vaudeville performers called the White
Bats, with the feminine members Of
the profession styling themselves tho
White Mice. They undertook to die.

The Presidents Counter Demand.

On the eve Of his appearance be-
fore Congress on the subject Of the
high cost of living the President has
taken a position with respect to the
striking railroad workers who are seek
ing to force wage increases that ma
terially aids in clarifying the situa-
ton. Informed by the Senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce that in
the judgment Of that body the power
to adjust compensations and rates re-
mains in his hands through wartime
legislation, he has instructed the di-
rector general of railroads to proceed
with the case of the shopmen who are
asking for more pay, on condition that
they return to work.
Inasmuch as the men who are now
out Of the shops have acted on their
own responsibility, against the orders
and advice of their leaders and with
out strike vote, the demand Of the
President that they resume relations
with the railroads before their pay
question is considered cannot be ig-
nored without precipitating . condi-
ton Of total Generalization within the
organizations themselves. It would
seem assured that there will DO q re-
newal Of work in the shops.
At the same time the fact cannot be
ignored that the problem itself 10 far
from solution. The railroads are not
today earning expenses. Whether this
is due to government management or
to the extraordinary conditions due to
the war or to the high wages preysil-
ing, the. books sshow a deficit. To
raise wages in the shops, with other
increases, already urged by the clerks
and other classes Of workers, in pros
pect, means that the rates must be
advanced or Congress must appropriate
. deficiency grant Of federal money to
pay the difference. The burden Of
these additional compensations must
fall upon the people either through
increased transportation rates or
through taxes.
One billion dollars is the amount
estimated as the cost Of the increased
wages now demanded. It is not to be
doubted that if these demands are met
others will be forthcoming, and the
total addition to the railroad cost may
rise to two billions. To such an extent
will the cost Of living be increased,
for, whether in taxes or In rates, the
money must come from the people, the
consumers Of necessities moved by rail,
of whom the men now demanding more
compensation are q part.

And then when this emergency
passes, another may arrive. This is a
time Of changes and surprises. No
body may say what a day may bring
forth.
The present Congress has been just
~ complimented on its readiness for
business when it met, and on the
amount of business it has transacted.
It took hold promptly and has labored
diligently. It faced q crowded card,
and tackled it with understanding and
resolution.
This excellent record should be- con-
tinued. Serious as was the situation
when Congress met, it is much more
serious now. In two months many
questions have taken on new phases,
and some new questions have arisen.
Where relief is sought, relief, If pos
sible, should be rendered. Confidence
much shaken in the business world
should be restored. Everything must
function in an orderly manner if the
people are to prosper. 1t is time
for teamwork and plain speaking.
In q word, America expects every
man to do his duty. And in order to
do his duty every man should be, and
remain, at his post. And the higher
the post, the greater the necessity for
the man assigned to it to give to its
duties his best and most faithful at
tention.
