statement:
Says The New York Tribune:
"1The President scarcely overstates
in saying to the representatives OF
the railway shopmen when rejecting
their wage demands: We are face to
face with situation which is more
likely to affect the happiness and
prosperity, and even the life of our
people, than the war ITSELF
The impossibility of forever spiral
ling wages upward will not be chal-
lenged, not even by the aggrieved
shopmen. Inasmuch as trans
rortation costs more than anv other
item constitute a tax laid on all consum-
ers, it is logical to ask railroad en-
ployes to be the first to desist from
whirlng the public around the de-
scending orbit.

still further increasing the cost or
production and therefore the cost Of
living comes to exactly the same

Thinks 1t Justified

"The Boston Transcript Inde-
pendent Republican,, finds complete
justification for the committees ac-
tion in amending the treaty, es-
pecially with regard to the Shan
tung amendment. Says this paper;
"What is it that the Senate commit
tee did that has made the Hot Cos
pellers of Decentralization so rabid
with rage? Why, it did precisely what
the Pres dent of the United States said
ought TO have been done if it could
have been done, ard what the Sec
retary Of State said ought to have been
done, and could have been done, and
what the expert official adviser of our
peace commissioners said should and
could have been done. The President
said in effect that he wanted to re-
store Shantung directly to China, but
couldn't because Japan would not as
sent to it. The Secretary of State said
that that should have been done and
that in his opinion Japan would have
agreed to it if the President had in
sisted upon it. Now, why rail at the
Senate for doing it ?"
''The Buffalo Express" Gnde-
pendent Republican, is strongly crit
ical of the committees action in
adopting the Shantung amendment.
''This action is tactical blunder,"
the paper declares, adding:
The Republican Senators
would better get back to the solid
ground represented by their hostility
to certain provisions of the league of
nations. They can carry their reserva-
tions to the covenant if they do not
break up their strength by involving
themselves in a fight over a side
issue"
"The Philadelphia Public Ledger
independently assails the committee
amendments as follows:
THE adoption by vote of seven to
nine of the blanket amendments where

to withdraw from all the various in
ternational commissions save that of

The Senate Foreign Relations Com

the United States from nearly all
the international commissions set
up by the treaty. The reparations
commission is one OF the few not
affected by the amendments, all of
which were proposed by Senator
Fall, of New Mexico. Washington
does not think the amendments
will be approved by the Senate
when the treaty is brought before
that body. Senator Hitchcock, the
Administrator leader, predicted
that the treaty would be ratified
before the end Of September with
out amendments. The Foreign
Relations Committee also decided
to recommend that the Shantung
section of the treaty be amended
so as to restore German rights to
China instead of giving them to
Japan. President Wilson has de-
cided to make his proposed tour
of the country in the interests OF
the treaty. He Will start within
fortnight and deliver fifty
speeches in twenty-five days.

and continues:
when the heads of the railroad
brotherhoods recently declared that
there must either be a substantial de-
crease in the cost Of living or sub
stantial increase in wages, the justice
of their demands was generally recog-
nized and President Wilson took the
issue to Congress. Since that time

the country, Federal, state and NUM-

The Week at Home

President Wilson refused the de-
mands of the railroad shopmen
for an increase in pay of from Is
to 27 cents an hour and gave them
instead an increase of 4 cents.
The President said increases in
wages could only have the effect
of increasing the cost of living
and would crush the governments
campaign to reduce the cost of
ing. He warned railroad labor
in general that halt must be
called on wage increases and ap-
pealed to the public to recognize
the gravity of the situation the
country faces. Only by keeping
the cost of production on it's pres
ent level, increasing production
and by rigid economy and saving
can the country successfully pass
through the crisis, he declared.
The railroad shopmen were greatly
disappointed by the Presidents
decision against the wage increase
for which they had asked, and their
leaders ordered a general vote as
to whether they vkhed to strike
or to accept the cents an hour
raise. The opinion of the leaders
is that the men will vote to strike.
The Pacific Coast is already tied
up by independent strikes of
switchmen, brakemen, yardmen
and shopmen.

DHE situation concerning the
threatened strike of railway
shopmen and the question of

n shopmen and the question of
government ownership as
provided for under the Plumb plan
have assumed increased interest
within the last week by reason Of
1.-The Presidents announcement
that the demands of the shop
men could not and should not be
granted at this time because Of the
fight no,o being aoaged by the gov-
ernnent to ioWer iiuing costs
0-The shopmen's rejection Of the
Presidents conciliatory a1vard
Of 4-cent q day increase, and
0uthori~a ton by their committee of
one hundred for another strike uote
Immediately.
2-The return OF President Gompers
Of the American Federation Of
Labor iron, abroad, his reported
stand IN behalf of the Plumb Plan,
and subsequent denial Of hauing as
yet taken any public position in
approval or disapprounl of the plan
1-The announcement from Cleue-
land by Warren S. Stone, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tire Engineers, that "the solution
Of the acage problem, not only on
railroads but in other lines OF busi-
ness, lies IN reduction Of the 1ir-
ing costs, not IN Increased 1cdges." )"
This stand Of the brotherhood chief
being interpreted as indorsing the
Presidents course aoith regard to the

demunds.)
5-The meeting IN Washington of
the e1ecutire council of the
American Federation of Labor
6-Tke strike Of shopmen and other
railway employees ~ California
IN defiance of uniou orders.
Meanwhile 100000 shopmen in
volved in the issue are voting on the
proposition to accept or reject the
Presidents 4-cent award in lieu of
their demand for increases ranging
from II to 27 cents an hour. Ballot
ing thus far, as in the previous vote,
indicates a majority of sentiment in
favor of a strike. Six shop unions
are involved directly in this country
and Canada; the other railway en-
ployes, numbering a million and
half or more, are less directly in
volved, but, as Director General
Illness effort to make all adjust
ments impartial is regarded as in
Guiding all railway brotherhoods,
action by the great body of workers
would be contingent upon that Of
the shopmen. Results in full Of the
strike vote now being taken are eX-
pected to be known by September 2,
the rail labor chiefs say.
The attitude Of the press gener-
ally toward the threatened walkout
of the railway men and the Plumb
plan has not wavered since both
problems arose. Only the radical
newspapers seek to defend the shop
men and Plumb plan of ownership.
The great majority of the news
papers are decidedly against any
such minority" and "socialistic"
action or legislation.
The following comment is con-
