AN EXAMPLE OF REAL CRAFTSMANSHIP

Suspension of all strikes throughout the states ana the
declaration of a labor truce for six months or more, on a basis
of the status quo, or existing rates, to enable the president to
bring about a reduction in the cost of living was recon-
mended by the New York State Federation of Labor in a
report made public yesterday.
There is q high quality of craftsmanship possessed by
somebody in that organization and there is craftsmanship
and a high quality of patriotism in the membership that
approved the report. Mr.. Lloyd Georges recent warning to
the British people is quite as much a warning to the Ameri-
can people. In fact, we are in greater need of it than they,
dangers into which they were running, in WHEN they have
almost engulfed their fortunes, and they are rapidly regaining
self control.
But we have been moving head on and with increasing
speed into exactly the disaster which the British people now
toresee and seem sane enough to avoid. If we have any
advantage it is because our descent was from a higher level
of fortune. We are not so weakened by years of war and our
reserves are greater than Englands were when the armistice
came. But on the other hand we have not yet realized the
destructive possibilities of industrial Reorganization and the
paralyzing effects of widespread industrial disorder.
The vital necessity pointed out by the British prime min
lister of VASTLY increased production" and curtailment of
waste is vital to us also. Yet we find universal and increas-
ing extravagances and an industrial warfare which is dimin-
ishing production in steadily increasing degree.
Legitimate demands of labor for bringing income into
fair relation With necessary expense have now become a
comparatively small phase of the labor conflict. The most
exaggerated and irrational demands are made and are multi
plying. The result can only be a disaster involving all classes,
including the wage Garner.
If American labor, the most prosperous in the world, and
the most assured of steady progress, surrender itself now for
the first time in its. history to the hysteria of the time and to
the indictments of radicalism bent upon the destruction of the
American system, it is undertaking suicide in the most effect
i've way.
We are not yet ready to believe American common sense
and constructive instinct have been so shaken. We are conf
dent reason and self control will reassert themselves. But it
is high time for their return. Sane and courageous leader
ship in the labor world is Immediately called for, and back of
it must be the intelligence of a rank and file awakened to
the certainties of destruction toward which the present mood
is sweeping the whole country.

LABOR IN THE PEACE TREATY

Senator Thomas of Colorado, with that fearlessness and
acumen which we have come to expect from him, went to the
heart of an important matter in his speech last Friday when he
sharply criticized the labor provision of the pending peace
treaty.
rational promise of success, to settle the labor troubles of the
world through an international labor conference which is to
be an integral part of the league of nations. Labor is some
how to be put on a uniform basis everywhere-which would
appear to imply a dwelling down of the American workingman
to foreign conditions of compensation and environment. Are
our laborers ready for that?
Moreover, as is the case with the whole league of nations
proposal, these labor provisions look to the setting up of a
worldwide authority in opposition or addition to the authority
of the United States. American workers are to be put under
the supervision of a foreign body in which a majority vote
will determine disputed questions. 1t may be argued that this
! supervision will not really amount to very much; Mr.. Wilson
has been telling the senate foreign relations committee that the
entire league covenant is q moral rather than a legal instru-
ment. But here are the only two alternatives-either the
league with all its brood of obligations is real or til not;
either it has a real binding force or it has none. Ii it has
snch force we ought not to put ourselves in its power, and if
it has not, it is a delusion and a sham from which constant
MISUNDERSTANDING and jealousies are bound to flow.
**
Senator Thomas makes a. strong point when he says:
'Inasmuch as organized labor correctly speaks of
itself as a class, it is entirely appropriate to say that
by including this program in the treaty, distinct nego-
tiation and separate organization are given to a class.
To enthrone q class, whether by revolution or by
treaty, is but to estrange other classes"
The basic argument against Bolshevism is that it ZEN
thrones a Glass; 1t is fundamentally undemocratic for that
reason. And the proposed labor provisions of the peace treaty
comes under the same condemnation. A treaty OF this sort
should be for all the people, not for any one faction or ele-
ment in the community.
In the judgment of Senator Thomas, the establishment OF
he international labor conference as part of the machinery
of the league Of nations would soon be followed by proposals
for the extension of its power. That would indeed be a natural
development. 1t is like the league of nations as a whole, a
dubious proposition, visionary rather than practicable, resting
on assumptions that do not exist, making its appeal to 1.-THE
universal desire for peace and brotherhood, but in reality
inviting new friction, new envies and new controversies
Senator Thomas has performed a genuine public service
in calling attention to the hazardous character of these labor
clauses. Let us remember that he is a member of the presi-
dents own party and that in exposing their dangers he has
absolutely no political axe to grind.

LETTING ALL THE PEOPLE RULE

1t is reported that Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin will in
troduce a bill in the United States senate on a plan worked
out by Nathan L. Amster. A summary of the plan, written by
Z. M. Young, appears in the NewsYork Commercial. In COM
menting on the plan Mr.. Young quotes from Mr.. Amster as
follows:
The railroad employees believe that 1T would be
- intoleralle to deny them a voice in the management
of the railroads. says Nathan L. Amster. 'They are
justified. But they must bear in mind the fact that
that founders of this republic believed that ii was
undemocratic and therefore uncomfortable that the
interest or desire of one segment of the people should
be- considered before the interests or desire of the
whole people"
That is the main point for which the Tribune has CON
tended, that the tremendous power involved in control of
transportation shall not be placed in the hands of any group
particularly a group that might be interested in the use OF this
power to advance its own interests without equal regard for
The people as a whole.
To quoto now from Mr.. Young:
Mr.. Amster does not believe that it is democratic
for either Wall Street or the employees to dominate the
management of the railroads. The owners have
rights. And, what is by far more important in his
opinion, the public at large has rights.
The Lenroot bill, which is the result of an agree [
nlent between the senator whose name it will bear,
and Mr.. Amster, will provide for unifcation of the
railroads into a great national system, with manage.
ment vested in a board nominated and selected after
the manner, which is most in accord with the true
conception of democracy. In other words, 1T is pro-
posed that the management shall be in the control of
a board whose members shall include one repre-
sentative of the state railroad commissions, and rep
resentatives of commerce, industry, employees, agricul-
ture and security owners.
The same desire regarding justice toward the
employees that inspired Mr.. Amlster has caused such
organizations as the Boston chamber of commerce to
recommend representation in railroad management
for the employees. So it can be seen that we have
come to a new way of looking at things which would
have been a great shock a half century ago.
The scheme of Mr.. Amster will by no means sat
isfy the small coterie which ran the railroads be-
fore federal control: 1t perhaps does not GO as far as
some of the more extreme element among the broth
erhoods would have it go, or as far as many others
would like. 1t does not go as far as any group which
would like to hog it ALL want to go. But the scheme
is democratic and gives every one a fair show. That's
the important thing.

THE SENATE AND THE PRESIDENT
It was Woodrow Wilson who wrote this in his "Histor.
OF The American People" lin volume Z of that work.:

1t was Woodrow Wilson who wrote this in his "HistOr
OF the American People" lin volume 4 of that work.:
SIN April, 1914, Mr.. Tyler sent to the senate a
treaty of annexation which he had negotiated with
Texas. Secret negotiations, a piece of business pri-
vately carried to- completion and made public only
when finished, suited well with the presidents
temper and way of action. A man naturally secretlve,
naturally fond, not of cOncealments, but of quiet and
subtle management, not insincere, but indirect in his
ways of approach, he relished statecraft of this sort,
and no doubt liked the Texas business all the better
because it seemed to demand, in its very nature, a
delicate and private handling. The senate rejected
i the treaty by the very decisive vote of i6 to 35, men
of both parties alike being irritated that the president
3 should spring this weighty matter upon the country in
such a fashion, taking no counsel beforehand save
such as he chose to take"
But that was before Woodrow himself became president
1t makes q lot of difference who happens to be president.
