THE PRESIDENT AND THE SHOP
MEN.

President Wilson has earned the
right to speak to the railroad shop
men as a friend From that point Of
vantage he preferred them caution
and advice which were none the less
friendly because solemn in tone, and
which, in their own interest and for
the behoof of the entire nation, it is
hoped they will accept it in like spir-
it. .
The President reminded the shop
men that the cost of living has reach
ed its peak and that its trend may
hereafter be expected to be down
ward, and it is certain to fall much
lower so soon as the treaty of peace
has been ratified. Until after that
ratification has been accomplished
and all business and industry is put
on sure footing, President Wilson
increases of wages dictat-
ed by the maximum costs of the mo-
ment would defeat the campaign
which the government is now conduc-
ting for lower prices; would advance
the rates for transportation and in
that way enhance every charge
against production and distribution.
These increases of wages to meet a
situation would be per-
manent and their effects on the cost
of living would be equally lasting.
Not only the shopmen, but all
workers and employes-every man,
woman and child in the United States
continue 70 feel the pres
sure of excessive prices of all they
need for food, clothing and shelter.
Those whose incomes take the form
of wages and salaries would feel it
most of all Strikes which stop the
rate and multiply the costs of pro-
duction will only magnify the diff
culties.
The remedy is quick ratification of
the treaty. This will put a period I
to the uncertainty which makes spec
ulation of every investment, enter
prise and transaction that ought to
be predicated upon sound, stable con-
ditions. Neither an increase of wages
at the hands CT the President nor a
stoDpage CT work on the part of la
Dor can afford cure. The Senate
alone has the means of ending the
evil state of things.
Ratify the treaty.
