the price of steel, which would mean to break
down the wages Of this country, resulting in
something akin to Bclsheyistic chaos
An action Of this kind would never have
been taken by the railroads OF the country had
they been under private control. II Is possible
that here and there two or three railroad man
ayers OF narrow vision would have held OF and
refused to buy steel except at lower price.
but broad men OF great constructive power
would never have permitted themselves TO be
hampered in this way. They would have seen
the need Of acting quickly. They would have
seen that the losses by holding back and halt
Ing the wheels OF business would be far greater
than the small difference in the price OF the
steel as between their views and those OF the
steel producers. They would not have bag
gled over an Insignificant issue while the
safety OF American business-and that means
of American civiliZation-was in the balance
They would not have been among the classes
who fiddle as did Nero while Rome was burn
ing.
But the Railroad administration, dominated
by small group Of men set in their ways
thinking only OF their own narrow side OF the
case, utterly failed to take a broad view of
national and world affairs. II they had been
willing to sacrifice themselves in the estima-
ton Of the public in order to show the utter
futility Of government control, they might be
entitled to credit for their unselfshness, but
no one can possibly imagine that this was the
motive which dominated them. They simply
held the dollar so close to their eyes that they
could not see that beyond that dollar were the
mighty factors which might overturn all civil
ization unless we can BY employment and pros
perity in America and by continuation of
high wages save this country from becoming
the devils greatest workshop.
II is tnexpressibly lamentable that the men
who dominate the Railroad administration in
this issue made blunder OF such tremendous
possibilities for evil. They cannot too quickly
reverse their position If they want to do their
part, to the salvation of American business
and American civilization.

Singer to Tell of
Lusitania Disaster


One of the numbers on the program
which the audience will listen to with
a great deal of interest is the address
of Mr.. Williams, one of the survivors
Of the Lusitania disaster which Will
be delivered at First NJ. E. church on
Thursday evening, May Is.
Three members OF the Welsh choir
were drowned with the sinking of that
ship by German submarine. Mr..
Williams was in the second saloon of
the boat when the crash came and he
likened 1t to the crack of doom. His
description Of the fight OF two thous-
and passengers, the gradual sinking
of the ship and the struggle to save
themselves from drowning was pathet
ic.
