But what actually happens when
government owned or government CON-
nandeered railways choke the lie out
Of cities and countrysides by strikes :?
The marine workers strike left two
railroads TO bring supplies to the mil
lions living in New York. The New
York Times in an editorial offers a
picture and an object lesson OF what
government ownership Of railroads and
public utilities means to those depend
ent upon them for their comfort their
business and even their very lives
when it relates:
The regional director of the East
ern District proposed that a sort Of
truce of forty eight hours be agreed
to, SO that the federal authorities
might settle the strike. The effort has
failed, the har0or workers rejected ti.s
proposal. A su5-condition OF the truce
proposed that II the truce were &C
copied, the ferryboats owned by the
railroads, operated by the government,
should operate again.
These ferryhoats plying across the
Hudson are just as much a part OF
the railroads as the tracks. Take the

Mr.. Speaker MacFarlane has been
quoted as saying that he Is not for

nor dirt roads, in particular. but for
good roads.
Yet Mr.. McFarlane IS said 10 have
made his run for election and TO lead
the forces in Iowa who are determ
ined that Iowa shall have highways
second TO none.
1t was not until the speekerhip
contest was extremely warm and sup
porters Of two candidates for the
speakership had dropped out that Mr..
McFarlane is credited with his
amazing statement. It is also said
that an effort was being made to line
up many OF the farmers solidiy
against Mr.. McFariane. and that the
above statement was made to placate
them.
Of course we don't know whether or
not Mr.. McFarlane actually admitted
that he was not for hard surfaced
roads-is he did, il was either an ad-
mission he is not the roGi leader he
poses as being and has not given the
matter sufficient study to determine
