What Arch and Why?

- pretty muddle that surrounds

Square 1t is only temporary project
says its designer. Yet the police Of the
city are very busy collecting money for
permanent arch, and presumably. 90
most subscribers seem to have under

any rate, you cannot enter the city bv
automobile without being politely held
up by policeman with request for an
arch subscription. In every direction
the police campaign is on.
The first thing to be said Of this stu
atlon II that the police have no business
whatever at such work. 1t is a bad habit

The Clash Over Railroad Power

A situation has arisen between the
railway administration and the Inter
state Commerce Commission. The latter
mas handed down decision resting upon
the contention that the war is over and
that the authority granted to the Presi-
dent to fix railway rates is in effect abro-
gated. That is to say, the Commerce
Commission seeks to resume it's old DOW
CT. 1t declares that certain rates on lum-
Der and various products are unjust.
unreasonable and unduly preiudicial"
In other words. it now seeks to interfere
with the ratemaking power of the rail
way Administrations power delegated
to it by the President
1t is, perhaps, fortunate that the rail
Way situation has thus come to a head.
Under the law by which the President
seized the railways, the Commerce Com
mission was, to all intents, completely
set aside. If it is still to have no powers
until the railroads arc returned or some
disposition is made there seems no high
~ mandatory reason why this very ex-
penslve body should continue to exist
On the other hand Secretary McA doc
has pointed out that, under the law as it
stands. the director is not in a position
to make the improvements that are alb
solutely necessary to the full and proper
functlonlng Of the railways. These bet
terments call for considerable eXpendi
lures which, at the prevailing prices.
many of the railways have been un
willing to undertake. The director of the
railways could not force them to do if
Now that a clash Of authority has arisen.
some kind of legislation becomes imme-
dlately imperative. Congress will have
to do something. 1t can hardly now let
the situation drift along until in the full
ness of time it has made up it's composite
mind
1t is improbable that any such lepis-
latlon can be driven through in the few
weeks remaining to the present Con-
gress; and, unless the President should
take step which he, himself, has re-
garded as unwise and return the roads
without legislation, a special session .at
an early date, would seem on this account
alone almost inevitable. To the new
Congress, therefore, will, probably. be
lntrusted the work Of bringing the pres
ent muddle to an end And it is now
clear, we think, that no very radical pro-
posals can secure a majority in CONGRESS-.
For that we are deeply obliged to our
recent experiences.

The Dublin Declaration

1t was an utterly Celtic proceeding
that took place in Dublin Yesterday A
new Declaration of Independence was
promulgated in language meant to in
fluence the peace conference sitting at
Paris to do an impossible thing. The
gallant hopes of how many martyrs
spoke from the grave! And England sat
by, silently ignoring this most ideal and
least real of all revolutions.
1t is a wholly practical fact that in the
last analysis makes the Irish appeal to
the world and to Paris hopeless.
Even if England were willing to lay the
Irish problem upon the peace table the
nations could not possibly accept the
burden The problems inevitably in
volved in the war are more than enough,
without undertaking any outside vent
ures like Ireland.
If the peace reaches out beyond the
war issues where can it end? If Ireland
may be heard at Paris why not
Porto Rico, why not the Philippines, why
not Milwaukee? Every boundary line in
the world would cry for resettlcment
every community out of joint with the
times could look for international aid.
Americans are again thrilled by the
courage and idealism that are Ircland's
indestructble spirit They must again
regret its hopeless clash with the reali
ties Of world emerging from the valley
of destruction.

oascd on Investigations and the comparison
with the prices accepted by the farmers of
all the nearby states. S4Ol per hundred
pounds of milk is not the cost of produc
ton.
Note again that prices are always quoted
on per cent milk basis As matter of
fact The milk in January averages from
80 to per cent of butter fat, or about 3.S
and the farmer gets cents point for
every tenth of / per cent Of fat above 3
per cent, so that the price actually re-
ceived by the farmer is raised in practice
20 to 40 cents hundredweight above the
price quoted
In support Of this claim it is noted that
receiving stations in the Pittsburgh dis
trict are getting $3.50 for 3 per cent milk
aust what the milk dealers in New York
offered; the price in the Cleveland district
Is about $3.47: Chicago 1886; Philadel-
phia. $3.44, and Boston, s3 60
Why should the farmer in New York is
sue an ultlmatum to the people of this CITY
that we shall pay $4.O1 as his cost of nro
duct1on-unless he be an unskilful farmer
and we are to be penalized for his ineff-
Gent methods And why should the New
York Dairymans League announce that the
cost OF production is being denied the New

The Farmers State
OF Mind

Back in October. 1916, the New York
farmer went on milk strike and he won
because he had the shrewdness to strike
when milk was scarce The PITTSBURGH and
chicago farmers made the same sort Of
effort In August when milk was flowing
freely, and it was a failure. Ever since
then representatives of the New York dairy
industry have been imbued with rather
Bolshevist spirit. The methods of the
dairy leaders have once brought the pro-
ducers under Federal prosecution, and their
strike breaking, mllk-wasting procedures
would bring them under prosecution in this
state were it not for the special exemption
of dairy interests from the operation of
the antitrust laws.
A long gathering sense of past injustices,
inarticuate and impotcnt, is leading the
dairy farmers organizations. with their
first taste of organized power to run amuck
and antagonize the public opinion that
should be one of their largest assets
Ihls IS not an attack on the farmer We
believe IN his past wrongs and that the
only solution lies in well organized CO.
operative associations of producers and dis
tributers under partial government super
vision. This plan is not theoretical, but has
been tried and found adequate. At present.
however, the conduct of the Dairymen's
League, the bitter. standpat temper of its
leaders, the befogging of the real issues.
the refusal to arbtrate on points that are
by their nature purely dogmatic and plainly
open to honest differences of opinion. the
waste of the most essential of foods lust
at this crucial time in the worlds history
all these characteristics lead us to believe
that If the farmer is not rescued from
his immediate friends his alleged enemies
VIII easily win the day. The controversy
is ll-timed, to say the least and New York
is presenting spectacle not paralleled in
any neighboring state.
The conflicting statements made during
the controversy, in articles, editorials and
advertisements, are enough to confuse the
elect. to say nothing of the general public.
The following main points, certain LEADING
claims and their obvious rebuttal certain
sidelights showing how easily the tale
may be made misleading by merely with
holding some of the vital facts. we think
Will show that the statements lust made
are well founded, and that the deadlock be-
tween the distributor and producer in this
state and city, conducted with stubborn dis
regard of the rights of the third partv-
the consumer-is utterly unnecessary
