No Municipal Strikei

Tomorrow a meeting will be held
by members of the per diem force
of the District municipal organization
to consider the question of a strike
on the score of the wage scale now
established for them. a dispute has
arisen with the Commissioners on the
ground that pledge given some
time ago for the maintenance of what
is known as the "navy yard scale" in
payment of the local per diem forces
. has been broken. Departure from
that scale has been justified by the
Commissioners on the ground of a
change of law and conditions relative
to the application of the bonus. The
present scale was established by the
District wage board, On which are rep
resentatives of the two organizations
of District per diem workers.
A strike of the municipal employees
is not to be justified on any grounds

Shamrock Shortens Sail.

Conditions in today's yacht race are
slightly changed by reason of the fact
that Shamrock has been fitted with a
new topmast, which carries a smaller
topsail, thus reducing her sail area
and consequently her time handicap
According to the preliminary measure
ments, which cannot be made official
until after the race, the original time
allowance in Resolute of seven min
utes and one second is reduced to six
minutes and forty seconds. In view
of the need of a further measure.
ment, if the race is at all close, as it
was on Wednesday, the name of the
victor may not be known until some
hours afterward. Today's race will
be over triangular course, such as
that on which Shamrock beat Resolute
definitely in the second race. Thus
the chances would appear to favor the
challenger in today's contest. If she
wins she Gifts the cup" If she loses
the general belief is that Resolute, or
. the windward-t o-leeward course, will
win the deciding race.

The Wage Award Accepted.

All the organizations of railroad
workers except the telegraphers have
accepted the wage boards award
though under protest. New demands
will be presented by many, perhaps
by all, Of the organizations on the
ground that since the original de-
mands were made living conditions
have developed to warrant a further
increase than that granted by the
board. The telegraphers have referred
the matter to the union membership
for vote, and there is some talk
of a strike among them, though the
prevailing belief is that they will also
accept under protest.
This decision greatly relieves the
strain caused by the initial dissatis
faction with the award Evidently
the truth has reached the understand
ing of the operatives that they have
actually gained a great deal through
the award and particularly in terms
of arrears, which will put into the
hands of every worker considerable
sum of money at time when it will
be most useful and appreciated.
The public is sharply reminded of
the meaning of this award of higher
wages by the prompt application of
the railroad companies for freight,
passenger and Pullman rate increases
which, if granted, will put upon the
consumer" the entire burden of
S626,O0O,OOO year-an increase of
$26,000,000 over the first announce
ment, owing to the computation of
overtime costs. 1t was, of course, ex-
pected that this would happen, and
there is no reason to be surprised at
the quickness with which the appliea-
ton is made, nor, in fact, at its terms.
If it will cost 1926, 100000 more to
run the railroads through higher
wages it will be necessary to collect
that much more from the users of
railroads to pay for the service. The
increases asked in freight rates are
approximately per cent in addition
to the 90 per cent already asked from
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
In addition, a passenger rate increase
of 20 per cent is asked When passen-
ger rates are thus raised, and Pull
man rates with them, and war taxes
are added, the cost of travel by rail
will indeed be high.
Every dollar of the 1926, 100000 add
ed to the transportation bill in order
to pay these additional wages will be
Capitalized" in the application to the
industries of the higher cost of trans
portation. Profit percentages will be
figured upon the new basis. Thus the
addition of this immense sum to the
railroad pay roll means a further
addition to the cost of living.

the municipality, to quit work in :
body and seek to prevent the employ
ment in their stead of other people
They may quit if they like. That is
the right of any man in any circum
stances. But strike implies obstruc
ton TO the maintenance of the work
which has been abandoned, and when
undertaken in this spirit municipal
strike is an anomaly that cannot be
tolerated.
If the present differences cannot be
adjusted the municipal work must go
on without interruption. 1t is to be
doubted whether all the men involved
will quit, or, in fact, whether any
large number of them will walk out,
even if an order is voted to that effect.
The places of those who quit will pre-
sumably be promptly filed and the
work will be maintained. 1t must,
indeed he maintained, unless the
city is to be exposed to pcstiential
conditions. Only a small percentage
of this work is of a skilled nature,
and the replacement of those who
strike will not be difficult. This fact
should be borne in mind by those
who are now advocating the suspen-
sion of work, an act which will surely
have far worse effect upon the men
than upon the employing municipality.

Mr.. Bryan and the Campaign.

In his telegram to the convention
at Lincoln declining the prohibition
nomination for President Mr.. Bryan
said:
"My connection with other reforms
would make it impossible for me to
focus my attention upon the prohi-
bition question alone"
The conventions action was based
upon and justified by Mr.. Bryan's
course at San Francisco, where he
made prohibition the sole object of
his activity. In both the platform
committee meetings and in the open
convention he fought for the dry
cause with every means he could
command "Other reforms" were, for
the time, put aside. He lost his fight,
| but his record in If remains entirely
plain.
Still, from the practical, political
point of view, Mr.. Bryan acted wisely
in declining to accept the leadership
of the out and-out prohibitionists in
tie present campaign. AS a bolter,
occupying pedestal, he would have
| been a conspicuous target; and every
arrow would have been feathercd from
his own wings He would have in
numbered himself, been quotable and
quoted against himself, throughout
the campaign. His experience in 1896,
when he was defeated by bolt, so
aroused him that he set the pegs in
