at any rate, to take care OF all increases in
the wages Of railway employees thru ap-
propriations from the public treasury.
walt Until Conditions Normal.
'In such circumstances, it seems clear
to me, and l believe will seem clear to
every thoughtful American, including the
shopmen themselves, when they have taken
second thought, and to all wage earners of
every kind that we ought to postpone ques-
lions of this sort until normal conditions
come again and we have the opportunity
for certain calculations as to the relation
between wages and the cost Of living. 1t
is the duty of every citizen of the country
to insist upon a truce in such contests
until Intelligent settlements can be made,
and made by peaceful and effective com
mon counsel. l appeal to my fellow cttt-
zens of every employment to cooperate in
insisting upon and maintaining such a
truce. and to cooperate also in sustainin g
the government in what l conceive to be
the only course which conscientious public
servants can pursue. Demands unwisely
made and passionately insisted upon at
this time, menace the peace and prosperity
of the country as nothing else could and
thus contribute to bring about the very
results which such demands are intended
TO remedy.
should Meet One Claim.
There Is, however, one claim made by
the railway shopmen which ought to be
met. They claim that they are not enjoy
ing the same advantages that other rail-
way employees are enjoying, because their
wages are calculated upon different basis.
The wages of other railway employees are
based upon the rule that they are to re-
ceive for eight hours work the same pay
they received for the longer day that was
the usual standard of the pre-war period.
This claim is, I told, well founded
and 1 concur in the conclusion of the direc-
tor general that the shopmen ought to be
civ en- the additional 4 cents an hour which
the readjustment asked for will justify.
There are certain other adjustments also.
pointed out in the report of the director
general which ought in fairness to be
made and which will be made.
Let me add. also, that the position
which the government must in conscience
take against general increases in wage
levels while the present exceptional and
temporary circumstances exist, will, of
course, not preclude the railroad admins
tration from giving prompt and careful
consideration to any claims that may be
made by other classes of employees for re-
adjustments believed to be proper to secure
impartial treatment for all who work in
the railway service.

LEXINGTON TO BAT!
Citizens Ask Governor Allen To Go
After Profiteers.

Nearly 200 employees of the Rock
Island shops in Harrington have asked
Governor Allen for a thoro investiga-
ton into living costs. They declare in
their petition that local merchants are
charging exorbitant prices for mer-
chandise.
In Topeka last week Representative
y. y. Lamb said his store would well
come any fair minded, honest investi-
cation. He resented, tho, the activi-
ties OF office holders with political am
billions who were masquerading as re-
formers without legal authority. He
said he was willing to come to Topeka
to help pass a real anti-profiteering
measure. He objected. however. to
the make-believe crusade which he
said provided only the remedy of
arousing an anarchistic spirit thru
sensational publicity. Now Herring
ton shop men have asked Governor
Allen TO make n general investigation
IN their community.

THE PRIVILEGED OBJECTOR

Returning American soldiers
are inclined to be critical about
the politeness with which So
called conscientious DIRECTORS
are being treated. And their at
titude seems to be, in measure
justified.
They have heard and read a
bundantly about the apprecia
ton with which America has
viewed their heroism in the face
Of hardships too heavy for
blasphemy and dangers too ap-
palling for description. And
now they are beginning to look
for the proofs Of it.
And when they learn that 1876
DIRECTORS have been released
from Camp Funston with an hon
orable discharge, they begin to
suspect that some one has been
kidding them.
