The Railroad Trainmen.

The pronunciamento issued by the
Representatives of the railroad
brotherhoods respecting proposed
railroad legislation has the merit of
bfevity, and on that and other ac-
counts is entitled to and will receive
most respectful consideration. 1t in
vites to discussion, and discussion will
follow
Take the first paragraph:
"That it is the sense of the con-
ference that the control of the rail-
roads should be exercised by the gov
ernment of the United States for a
period of not less than two years, that
. proper test may be made as to gov
ernment control"
This means two years longer of gov
ernment control and operation, and
both the President and Congress are
against the proposition. The roads
are to be returned to their owners
March !, and the terms have now to
be agreed upon. A conference COM
Mittee of the two houses of Congress
has the question in hand. Those who
desire this extension Of government
control and operation want govern
Aent ownership and operation, and
are maneuverine to that end. The
latest expression of the people at the
polls is against government owner
chip and operation. Last year the
republicans in their campaign vir-
sually opposed that policy, and a re-
publican Congress was elected.
!; Take the second paragraph:
"This conference is opposed to leg
i1lation making strikes of workers
unlawful. 1t il the sense of this con-
ference that penalty clauses in pend
ing legislation on railroads against
workers ceasing their employment
should be Eliminated"
The anti.stfike provision Of the
Cdmmins measure is not an attempt
1t making slaves Of the railroad train
men, but declaration that the rail-
road trainmen shall not become the
masters Of the American people. If
the provision should be better ex-
pressed, or some other means devised
for accomplishing that end, It can
be done. The point Is to make sure
agAinst possible paralysis for selfish
OF any other purposes of the railroad
transportation Of the country and the
resultant horrors and losses. ."t
Take the third paragraph:
~That the conference favofs the en-
actment Of beneficial features Of the
hills which tend to establish better
relations between employees and car
7fers.n
This is wholly to the good. What
the country wants at this time is the
establishment Of better relations be-
tween employer and employe in every
line Of action. Producers and dis
tfibuters and consumers must work
in agreement, and with regard to one
hAother's interests. Teamwork is ab-
bolutely essential. not only to the peo-
p5s's- comfort but to their very ex-
istsnce. It ia case for steady pull,
D hearty pull and pull all together.
Our governmental agencies are un-
aergoing a severe test; and every
citizen, of whatever employment, and
cf whatever influence, great or small,
should give them his best support.

Reclaim War Torn Lands.

Brussels, Aug. 1.-THE Belgian
government has undertaken a vast
project for retaining the devastated
farm lands in the battle zone. The
farms will be taken over from their
owners and worked under the latest
scientific principles and then re-
turned in first class condition to
them. Owners are to be paid per
cent interest on the pre-war valua-
ton of the property during opera
ton by the government, which, how
ever. is prepared to purchase the land
outright in the event owners do not
desire to keep title to the farms.
King Albert will fix the limit of
the operation of the project, which
IS designed merely to hasten in the
national interest the restoration of
the vast territory laid waste by shell
fire. '.
