Labor Nav Make Trouble.

Perplexing questions involving Ia
Dor, loom as the government pre-
mares for the return Of the railroads
to private operation on March l.
Conferees in congress on the rail-
road bill anticipate month OF ne
gotiations before reaching an agree
nent. the conflict between the anti
strike provision of the senate bill and
the voluntary arbitration plan of the
house bill presenting their most dlt-
ficult problem.
Meanwhile the railroad admin
stration will be confronted with the
demands of railroad employees for in
creased wages, accompanied by
threats of general strike.
Wilson Action Pleases Officials.
President Wilson's decision to de-
lay the return of the roads until
March / is received with satisfac-
ton by congress and railroad Off
cials. Organized labor wanted an
extension Of government operation
for at least two years. The addition
al sixty days, however, gives that
much more time for the presentation
Of demands for wage advances to the
government rather than direct to the
railroad owners.
Dissatisfied with the progress
made by the administration in it's
campaign to reduce the cost Of liv-
ing, railway brotherhoods' officials
are preparing to renew the demands
which they withheld temporarily at
the insistence of President Wilson.
Members of congress fear an at
tempt to use threats Of strike to
force action on the wage adjustment
sections Of the railroad bill.
Conferees on the railroad bill will
not meet again until Monday.

mittee reported out the measure
and the result was not published De-
cause the association did not want

entng congress
The machinists' membership is
100000, but more than 10000 are
employed on railroads.
Tumulty Explains Delay.
President Wilson Wednesday
night announced he would return
the railroads to private ownership
March l.
The president also announced that
the railway express companies Woulo
be returned at the same time.
In announcing the decisions OF the
president, Secretary Tumulty issued
the following statement:
Last May in his message to the
congress the president announced
that the railroads would be handed
over to their owners at the end OF
the calendar year. 1t is now neces-
sary to act by issuing proclamation.
In the present circumstances, no
agreement having yet been reached
by congress in respect to legislation
on the subject, it becomes necessary
in the public interest to allow a. rea-
sonable time to e]apse between the
issuing of the proclamation and the
date Of it's actually taking effect.
"The president is advised that the
railroads and express companies are
not Organized to make it possible for
them to receive and manage their
properties if actually turned over to
them on Dec. 81, and If this were
done 1t could raise financial and Ia
bor combinations of serious ma
ture.
The railroad and express com
panies should be given ample oppor-
tunity to adequately prepare for the
resumption of their business under
the control and management OF
their own stockholders, directors and
officers. Therefore the transfer OF
possession back to the railroad CON-
panies will become effective at 1901
a. m, March /, 1920"

Poland and the Wide World.

The commander Of the Polish army in
France insists that Poland needs help now or
not at all This is because the Poles could not
await the slow movement of the peace council
to establish authority over former Polish
provinces held by Prussia, but set about to &C
complish their repatriation by force.
General Pilsudsky, at the head of affairs in
new Poland, has told Ignace Paderewski he in
tends to manage things in his own way until
the Poles have held an election, when he will
loyalty support the will of the people so ex-
pressed This election involves the Poles in Prus-
STA, who have been warned not to vote under
pains of being regarded as traitors by the Prus-
sian government. To settle the question
armed forces have FLASHED, and greater battles
are in prospect.
An outsider is inclined to the opinion that
the Poles, after being in subsection for genera
tons, could have waited few weeks longer
for their full freedom, when they would lose
nothing of material or even of sentimental value
by so doing. Poland will be restored in full
but the renewal of the fighting over possession
of the part to which Prussia clings with such a
feeble hold is not an inspiring spectacle. A lit
tie patience would go long way here.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-01-07

Six weeks after the invasion of Belgium in
1914 Colonel Roosevelt in a magazine article
wrote ut is certainly desirable that we should
remain entirely neutral, and nothing but urgent
need would warrant breaking our neutrality and
taking sides one way or the other" The Lus
itania had not been sunk Our rights on the
high seas had not been attacked by Germany.
The gross injustice to the colonel OF putting
This early expression into a high school war
syllabus" for use in 1919, with no explanation
Of the coloners eager militancy after the real
situation had developed, is apparent to the
meanest intelligence. Who did it? That ques-
hon is not answered,
But on the cooners demand William l..
Ettinger, superintendent of schools, orders the
.spunging of the offensive selection, and Col
onel Roosevelt is satisfied. We cannot help
thinking that the Americans who are taxed to
support the schools are not satisfied. They can
see pro-Germanism in the preparation of that
syllabus" Who is the pro-German?
OF course, the explanation of the former
president is clear enough, If, indeed, any ex-
planaton were needed The declaration for
neutrality "was loyal support of President
Wilson's policy, but it was an erroneous sup
sort, and no one has any business to quote it
without stating the fact that was then, at the
,utset of the war endeavoring to support the
president and that, as soon as became con-
sinced he was wrong, | ceased to support him
md took the position which held the next four
ears and which today hold"
Propaganda is not dead yet, Its weapon OF
Misrepresentation OF our public men is still
being used. Those who use it should not merely
nave their arms stayed against particular vic
tim They should be put where they cannot use
the weapon at all again., That is the plain doc
,trine Of Americanism.- brooklyn Eagle.
