THE SHOP MEN ON THE STRIKE ISSUE

1t is now apparent that a strong majority OF the leaders
OF the shop men are eager to allay all strike talk. In this
attitude President Gompers of the Federation of Labor joined
The shop mems union is a Federation union-and so do the
heads of the railway brotherhoods. The executive council, in
lis communication following its own refusal of the president $
program, indicated that its refusal did not reflect its Judgment
as to the merits of the suggested basis for a settlement, but
was due to a feeling that it had no mandate from the union
members to accept. 1t asked, accordingly, for a vote OF in
struction, and expressed the hope that serious consideration
would be given to the issue before authorizing it to call a
strike. The council now amplifies this warning by urging
acceptance of the presidents terms-at least, pending the
results of efforts to reduce the cost of living.
There is undoubtedly a radical element in the shops that
is ready to disregard every reasonable consideration and bring
ON a strike. The urgency of the leaders may suggest, indeed.
that this element is stronger than might be supposed. But
the men have due notice that agitation for an appeal to the
last resort will not be viewed with sympathy even by their
own leaders. and their associates in other railroad unions, to
say nothing of public sentiment1
That the time has come TO "call Off the race between living
costs and rising wages is a widespread conviction among
thinking Americans. The railway shopmen, if they are wise,
will accept the advice given them, and join the great majority
of American workingmen in a united effort to remove the
cause of their unrest-the high cost of living.

AMERICAN TROOPS IN sILESIA?

II leaked out from the war department last week That the
Fifth and Fiftieth regiments of infantry, stationed at Camp
Dix. New Jersey. have been ordered to prepare to go over
seas, TO aid in the policing of Silesia pending the plebiscite
provided for in the peace treaty. Now a resolution is pend
ing in the house of representatives protesting against the
expedition. Manifesily congress and the country should have
an explanation.
This is not the first instance of an attempt to exercise
authority under the treaty. while it is awaiting ratification.
An international conference under the labor articles has been
called to meet in Washington next October. By that time.
perhaps. the treaty may be ratified in some shape. But the
dispatch of troops to carry out the obligation imposed by the
Siesian article would be decidedly premature especially in
y Jew of the fact that the foreign relations committee has
voted to report amendments intended to relieve the United
States of all obligations to Europe.
The disposition of Silesia lies between Poland and Ger
many. The inhabitants will be called upon to indicate by a
referendum whether they wish to be attached to one or the
other country. 1t is an important coal mining and industrial
district, as well as being one of Prussias chief grain prov
inces. Wars have been fought over it. II became Prussian
property when an early promoter of the practices which raised
the house of Hohenzolern to power, and have lately brought
it topping down. seized the district from Austria without
troubling himself to declare war on his neighbor.
There will now be a hard struggle over it, A clause relat-
ing to the plebiscite provides that the disputed district shall
be placed under the authority of an International commission
belonging to them. The commission will displace the German
authorities for the exercise of sovereignty until the vote is
counted.
France, Great Britain and Italy, near at hand, can OF
course furnish all the troops needed to keep order in Siesla.
And the prospect is that the senate will not agree to having
the United States dragged in. At any rate. its consent to the
stipulation remains to be obtained. BY what authority will
the war department act. if it carries out its purpose to send
american troops to that patch of Central Europe?

MEAT PRICES AND PROFITS

A meeting was held in New York city last week at which
representatives of the New York State Association of United
Master Butchers and the federal food administration We're
present. After the meeting it was stated that the butchers
committee on fair prices had agreed upon a tentative fair
maximum margin list covering eighteen items of the important
retail meat supply of the city"-a schedule of maximum
profits which it is proposed to try out during September.
On this schedule appear the following items at the prices
named: Chuck steak, i3 cents a pound; whole cross rib, 20;
cut cross rib, 81; stew beef, 10; sirloin steak AZ; bottom round,
10; rib roast, prime, 10; whole top sirloin, IS; cut top sirloin,
~; leg of lamb, AZ; rib lamb chops, IA; smoked ham, 8;
smoked bacon, 10; pork chops, end, 8; pork chops, middle, IL.
These firgures represent, let it be understood, not the new
PRICES Of meat but the maximum PROFIT to be allowed the
dealer.
Only a few years ago the cost to the consumer of some of
these items was no more than the margin of profit now per-
mitted. Has there been an increase in the dealers overhead
expenses sufficient to justify such a margin? They argue
that there has. They offer figures, indeed, to show that in the
last year they have had to pay greatly increased prices for all
sorts of t~hings-rent, carriage, wages and the like; but none
OF these increases is more than 1925 per cent. What, by the
way, is the total percentage expense increase since the war
opened in 1914?
Whatever the answer to that question may be, the fair
price committee gives the public some excellent advice, as
follows:
"The committee urges that, in the weekly pur-
chases of the home, stew beef and lamb, pot roasts,.
corned beef, and soup meat7be included as a help in
solving some Of the high cost of living problems. One
difficulty is that so large a percentage of our people
insist upon purchasing only the higher priced cuts
of meat, to the exclusion of the others, for all meats
of the week.
"The committee urges that some of the meals
of the week be served with the lower-prced cuts,
which are equally nutritious, and in some instances
more so. The committee points out that a meal at
which stew beef or lamb is served with vegetables
costs about half as much as a corresponding meal of
sirloin steak. The nutrition is just as great, or per-
haps greater"
Consumers in every American town and city should take
that advice to heart.

CHEER UP

There are so many vexatious problems in the world j
ow that it can work no havoc to point out a few cheeri
in the news as it passes. Somebody has taken t
rouble to compile from one days grist the following:
Boston, Aug. 2%7-Sugar cargoes aggregating
100000 pounds are now en- route to Boston from
Cuba. Steamship Corrales, which is due tomorrow
from Havana, has a cargo of 100000 pounds.
Chicago. Aug. 27.-This years California raisin
crop is one hundred million pounds in excess of last
years.
Washington. Aug. 27.-Prices are beginning to turn
downward in various parts of the country. Attorney
General Palmer says all the government wants is a
fair chance to show what can be done totakc the arti-
fetal initiation out of the market.
Boston, Aug. 27.-Fsh prices are going down.
Haddock, mackerel and cusk are cheaper. Pollock
also have Joined the ranks of the lower-priced class
of fish and finnan haddie can be bought at two cents
a pound less than it could be a week ago.
Washington. Aug. 27.-The railroad controversy
is a struggle between the Judgment of the leaders
who are said now to realize the temper of public
opinion-and the radical. irresponsible elements
among the railroad employees. The danger is that this
railroad employees to a strike. But Washington does
not believe that this will occur.
Chicago, Aug. PA drop of 81 a hundred pounds
on the average for hogs, with lower prices for beef
cattle at the siockyards today was ascribed to several
reasons, including the general protest against the high
cost of living. Market men said the tendency was for
still lower hog prices. particularly after the fall mar
keting, and they professed to, sec a break in high
living costs.

WHAT CHANGED THE INFALLIBLEg

The president, who is now touring the country, made a
similar tour three years ago last winter. In a speech at Ds
Moines on tibet occasion he said:
There are actually men in America who are
preaching war, who are preaching the duty OF the
United States to do what It never would befOre-seek
entanglements i'm the controversies which have arisen
on the other side OF the water-abandOn its habitual
and traditional policy, and deliberately engage in the
conflict which is now engulfing the rest Of the world.
1 do not know what the standard of citizenship OF
these gentlemen may be. I only know that l for one,
cannot subscribe to those standards"
The principal nations of the world with whom we arc
now allied had then been at war nearly two years giving their
best blood to "make the world safe for democracy"-and for
us. The above is especially commended to those who are still
holding up Mr.. Wilson as the man upon whose infallible
vision" the future safety of the world depends.

we are told that for the present we must drop all class
thinking and all parisanism and all unite to help save the
country-but who doubts that before the president started on
the present trip he talked over the political effects of it care
fully and prayerfuny? And if the effects had not been e-
teemed favorable the journey would not have been undertaken.

Every day that the government waits to put an embargo
on those things that we are going to have need of in this
country we are making it harder for our own future. We
should be willing to send to Europe what we can spare, but
we shonld not permit the exporters to send there all that they
car exchange for high prices.

We are going to send troops over to Silesia to see that
the Poles and the Germans do not interfere with each other
while a vote is being taken to see which way the people want
10 jump. In the meantime, what European country will send
regiments over here to see that the colored voters of the south
are not kept from the polls and that their votes shall be
counted? And who is going to stamp out election frauds in
some of the larger cities?

The government might conserve the paper supplies of the
country by emitting a great many useless and repetitive things
from the published reports-and by quitting the endless pro-
t.aganda of circulars sent out.

That Glenn f. Plumb, who is a mere lawyer, seems to
have become a fanatic on his plan and he is more than i'm
patient with those who cannot go as crazy over it as he is him
self. There is nothing SO foolish in this world as the man
who thinks he has discovered a cure-all in which he himself
believes. There was Bryan in 1896, but that is now so long
ago that perhaps you have forgotten it, even if you were born
before that time.

MILLIONS OF SOCKS AND THINGS

1t now turns out that the government has on hand mil
lions of pairs of socks, undergarments, shirts, rain coats,
blankets, gloves and other wearing apparel which it has been
holding. Was the government afraid that by selling them it
would lower prices at a time when lower prices were exactly
what the people wanted and what they were entitled to have?
ii is admitted that the war department deferred to the packers
end Gamers when they held back the meat supplies and
canned goods, many of which have since spoiled in govern
ment s~torehouses, but did they agree with the clothing men
also not to depress prices-that is, to let them put prices up,
for that is what it came to mean?
But now these millions of articles that We're drawn from
the supplies of the country are to be released and the effect
of them ought to be good. If they had been released earlier
perhaps we would have been spared some of the spasms of dis
content through which we have had to pass. But even a
governments hindsight may be better than its foresight.
