Danger Greater Than in War.


NEW YORK. September 1.@Suspef-
sion of all strikes throughout the
United States and the declaration Of Q
labor truce on the basis of the status
quo for six months or more, to enable
President Wilson to bring about q re-
duction in the cost of living. is recom-
mended in a report of a committee of
the New York state federation OF la
Dor, made public here today.
The recommendations urge Amerf.

and hour controversies, in order to
increase production and restore nor.

hope that no new strike will be or
dered, except to relieve workers from

Admit Reservations Feasible.

1t is generally admitted by both
democratic and republican senators
that 1T will be an easy matter to
attach reservations and interpreta-
tions to the treaty. President Will
son has expressed himself as agreea-
BILE to reasonable Interpretation not
affecting the treaty vitality. It is
thought, by impartial observers. that
at least one-third of the democratic
membership of the Senate is favora-
BILE to- reasonable reservations, and all
the republicans are, except the few
who insist upon downright slaughter
of the treaty.
There is still the question of how
the reservations are to be attached.
But IL it is true, as claimed, that the
Senate is against killing .the treaty,
it is argued that it ought to be pos
sible to frame the reservations to ac-
complish that object without destroy
ing the treaty.
All senators declare that the pres
sure upon them from the business
interests Of the country to ratify the
treaty and get 1t out of the way is
tremendous.
Evening star., 1919-09-01

Everybody knows what happened; the
President waited until the House had
it's baggage at the door and then
called the House back to reduce the
high cost of living. and he didn't
lay it at the doors of labor.
There was nothing then for the re-
publican leadership to do but in ef-
feet to acknowledge that the Presi-
dent was right. and thereupon pro-
ceed to carry out his behests. To
be sure. the legislation will be en-
acted by a republican Congress. but
it will be only after the President had
driven it to it. some of the republi
cans admit with chagrin. And the
President and Attorney General Pal
mer. they point out, are. not losing a
trick in keeping before the people
constantly the idea that this reduc-
tion of the high cost of living is the
administration's own issue.
Now the President is going to the
country to emphasize, accentuate and
drive home by iteration and reitera-
tion the assertion that. the holding
up Of the treaty is supporting the
high cost of living-'tall due to those
wicked republicans in the Senate" it
is complained.

The order went forth early last
night that all pedestrians and mo-

leading ministerial worker among the
colored people of the city, issued an
appeal OF the men and women Of his
race. in which he urged that they
maintain order and decorum and re-
frain from violence of any character.
He assured them that the white people
are their friends. He asserted that the
trouble of Saturday night and Sunday
was due to the Lowest types of blacks
and whites and not to the better ele-
ment Of either race, who have to suffer
the consequences"

PRESIDENT TO RETURN
RAIL LINES MARCH |

washington, Dec. 26.- prasiaan,
wilson has issued two proclamations
announcing that federal control Of the
rallroads and of the American Rail-
way Express company would be re-.
llnquished by the government On
March l, 1920, at 1901 a. m.
The presidents reasons for sett;no
the date for the return Of the rail-
roaas TO private ownership at March
!, instead of January 1, were ex-
planned in the following statement by
Secretary Tumulty:
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
this calendar year.
1T is now necessary to act by issu-
ing this proclamation In the present
circumstances, no agreement having
yet been reached by the two houses of
the congress in respect to legislation
on the subject, it becomes necessary in
the public interest to allow reason
able time to elapse between the issuing
of the proclamation and the date of
its actually taking effect.
'The president is advised that the
railroad 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 December 81, and if this were
done it would raise financial and legal
complications of serious character.
The railroad and express companies
should be given ample opportunity to
prepare for the resump-
ion Of their business under the con-
rol and management of their own
directors and officers.
Therefore, the transfer Of possession
pack to the railroad companies will
become effective at 1901 a. M, March
!, 192O.'

Dispute Over Mountain

Tacoma and Seattle, away up In

out In that direction, are having
wordy wrangle over what is called the
great mountain that towers to the
clouds "just across the river" II Is
set down in the geography as Mount
Rainier, but the people of Tacoma call
1t Mount Tacoma. and now there is a
considerable number of persons in this
country who want it named after the
late Colonel Roosevelt-they want 1t
called Mount Roosevelt.
The name Rainier" was given the
mountain by the Canadians, In honor
of British admiral of that name who
sank an American vessel during the
Revolutionary war. Naturally, the
name is not especially popular on this
side Of the border. The Indians
called 1t "Tacoma"-the tribe itself
bore the same name, which means SIM
ply "the mountain" The Tacoma In
dams were ''the Mountain Indians"

these qualities will have little trouble
In consulting with the government adj
visers with whom he discusses the
training he desires.
Representatives of the federal board
are busy in the great reconstruction
hospitals, making preliminary investi-
cations of men about to be discharged.
Sometimes 1t proves comparatively
easy to place a man in a good job
training isn't always needed The board
acts as an employment agency to a
considerable extent. But its great task
is to seek out the men who have to
be re-educated, or who, never having
had the opportunity to secure an edu-
cation. can take advantage Of this
chance.
No attempt has been made so far
to place disabled men In special schools
for cripples or to segregate them In
any way for training or other pur-
poses. Experience has shown that such
segregation is harmful and that the
more q disabled man Is thrown with
his fellow men who are strong and
healthy, the quicker will be his re-
covery and the more readily will he
absorb training. For this reason use
Is being made of existing educational
and trade schools throughout the
country.
More than 100 900 disabled men have
already sought the assistance of the
federal board Of vocational education,
and new cases come into the central
Office In Washington and to the four
teen branch offices at the rate of
500 day There are about 5000 men
to take the training, and efforts are
being made to get disabled men to
take training just as quickly as pos
sible after they leave the army. When
1t is considered that more than $4,000
disabled men left army hospitals be-
fore they could be told about the
board, the figures Of those who have
shown their interest are encouraging

He Will get for his living expenses, II
he lives alone, at least SIS per month.
If his compensation does not amount
to that, the federal board will make
up the difference. His dependents, If
he has any, will receive the allotments
that went to them while he was on
active service-at least $50 per month
to his wife and $40 to each minor
child.
1t might seem, offhand, that no man
could need any persuasion to take ad-
vantage of such opportunities as the
federal board offers. But 1t isn't
quite SO simple. If man Is In a hos
pital, long way from home, and he
receives letters from his family urging
him to return as soon as he can, with
promises Of love and care and rest
and comfort; If he is pretty tired
after long spell Of Illness and con-
finement, he doesn't feel much like
making new effort.
He may feel that 1t isn't necessary
He may know that he can get a Job,
at higher wages than he ever got be-
fore, without taking any training at
all.
There Is an answer-and good one
to every one Of these arguments
against vocational training for men
disabled In war.
1t isn't good for man who might
be able to take care of himself, If he
made an effort, to turn that job over
to anyone else, no matter how closely
they are related to him. 1t saps his
self-respect.
He can go home for little while
he can have furlough before he
starts his training. Often he can
get his training so close to his home
that he can live at home. And ever
if the training does involve separa
ton, how about the way he'll fee
five, ten, fifteen years from now
What does a few months Of absence
mean compared with the comfort, the
stability, the self-respect he will gel

And then, suppose he can get a jot

long can he hold 1t? Sooner or later
he will have to face the competition

only if he has training. Sentiment, IL
the long run, doesn't count much IL
the matter of employment. The an

Experience has shown that In othel
