the conductor give the motorman the

Although the people were willing

give them during the war. they feel
now that peace has come in view of

Organized Labor Going Too Ear

IT HAT portion OF organized labor included
! in the railroad service is showing a
truculent attitude toward the solution OF prob
lens with which the country is faced that has
assumed the proportions OF menace to the
common interests. Indeed. its attitude Is
that of attempting to dictate public policy
with respect to certain questions to which
the best thought of the nation is being d-
rected in the effort to work them out intelli-
gently, or else TO throw the whole country into
state Of anarchy.
To say nothing Of the pending strike OF
railroad Shopmen for increased wages, which
already has affected more than 5000
workers and is rapidly spreading, the refusal
of other unions in the same service to accept
the proposal of the President that Congress
constitute a committee to pass on questions
of wage increases for the men, and to await
the outcome OF efforts to bring about lower
ing of the cost Of living. emphasized by threat
OF calling general strike to enforce their
demands, three OF the big railroad brother
hoods and the American Federation of Labor
have submitted peremptory demand that pri
vate capital be retired from the railroads by
the government issuing bonds to pay for the
properties and taking over their ownership
to be operated under tripartite control COM
mittee, composed equally of the public, the
operating management and the employees.
Organized labor in this country has Jared
xtraordinarily we'll in recent years. That
portion of it connected with the railway ser
vice is. with limited exceptions the best paid
labor in the country. Its voice is heard and
its influence felt in all public counsels Nor
is it without its share of representation in
official life But when it undertakes to die
tate the settlement Of the question of national
ownership and operation of the railroads OF

turn of the lines to their former CONTROL" it
is trying to force decision in d complicated
matter that is entirely foreign to the Ameri>

bring disaster TO the business of the country,
it yet will find that the American people are
not without sufficient resources of protective
strength to refuse thus to be overawed to the
point of accepting its plan as the final argu-
ment In the solution Of the intricate prob
lem Of governing the railroads at the expira-
ton of Federal control as a wartime policy
The interests Of more than 100. 00O, 900
American people are involved in the solution

Pursuing the Profltccrs

\ MEASURE of comfort. and perhaps a
a measure OF relief from the miserable
economic conditions existing doubtless
will be derived from the rather sudden &C.
tivity on the part of the Federal government
toward the problem of living cost in this
country. At last the machinery of the execu.
tive and legislative departments has begun to
move and, although it must move slowly and
perhaps lndeciSively for a time, qualification
must be felt on every hand that it is moving
at all after so long period Of total indf-
ference to the widespread unrest growing out
Of the high cost of food and clothing.
All at once, 1t seems. the White House be-
came alarmed. Then the House and Senate
became conscious OF the dangers threatening
the American people. and, while it is clearly
evident at this stage that neither the execu-
tive nor the legislative branch of the gov
eminent has any fixed program or clear notion
OF what ought to be done or what can be
done. both are agreed that something must
be done If this nation is to escape the con-
dltions which have all but paralyzed Great
Britain and other countries OF Europe.
While the government has been deyotins
itself with energy and patriotism to solving
great international problems, to a debate on
virtues and faults Of league of nations to
treaties of peace and defense with Germany
and with France, the same government must
now realize that the average man and woman
at nome are lar more profoundly concerned
In the trying task Of making a dollar buy at
least 90 cents worth Of food than in past
wars or future peace. Having realized this
the government must further realize that it
is better to prepare program Of relief from
living burdens late than not prepare any at
all. AT least, that seems to be the general
theory on which the executive and legislative
departments are proceeding. Within few
weeks, 1t may be presumed legislation by the
wholesale will be proposed, to the end that
living conditions may be bettered; invcstiga-
tons, inquisitions and inquiries without mum.
Der will be under way, and the oppressed
consumer may look to the national capita,
with degree Of hope for protection against
the conditions that now prevail
This same consumer should not be too inn
patient for results. They will be slow in
Undertaking. even II they materalize at all
1t is necessary. first of all, for the govern.
ment TO locate the source of the evils and
then to find means of remedying them This
Is not an easy thing. 1t is morally certain
even now that all the blame for excessive
prices cannot be visited on any one class
OF citizens. There must be forbearance
therefore, on the part of the general public
IT Will do no good to engage In open revolt
