Congress Has A Big Job Ahead.

United States met and pressing problems solved
President Wilson unfortunately has fit to delay
his recommendations in regard to settlement Of the rail
road question until "a later dates NO riddle IS

largest industry in the country and the industry which
the entire country depends, fast degenerang into dp
idaon through the depreciation of its property and the

the railroads and the policy of its future management
things which must be settled without delay.
The second emergency problem before congress is the
fuel situation With winter settled down the country
the management and operation Of the mines be pro-
vided for. If the trouble is essentially labor trouble
then the settlement should be made that basis and it
should be q permanent adjustment.
The high of living be dealt with BY congress
at this time It should not be gone at with the fanfare
and flourish Of umpets that accompanied the recent cha
enge the wicked proteers and which since come to
nothing But the problem should be as one tackles
any difficulty. Congress should either provide genuine
and fair solution frankly admit to the country It can't
be done There may be profeerng But the great chief
Of high living costs is not profeerng, but made
quate production inflated currency and the general desire
Of the people TO get the dollar easy rather than by pT0duc
