with hearty approval:
"Insthe twenty five wears that Mr.

litical faiths are numbered by the
thousands. He has served his consti-

BETTER GET READY

The threat of the board OF the rail-
way brotherhood that there must be
more wages means trouble ahead
The strike is not settled-it Is simp
ly dragging along until the employees
already among the best paid In the
country, think they have good grip
and then look out The country has
had series of spasms with the ad-
ministration supme In the handling
Of conditions.
Fit one was the Adamson law
capitulation. Fit Two came on last
August, and with difficulty were the
railroads restored to activity. Fit
Three-the strike which, according
to Mr.. Gompers. was not strike
but which the people thought was
One-has just been endured, with the
men who were out going back ON the
understanding, as they cognize it.
that they are to get what they want
from the Railroad Labor Board
Fit Four If it occurs, promises To
be the real thing. A decree of trans
portation paralysis Is to be issued by
the railroad czars and is to he exc
cuted unless the award of the Labor
Board suits the minority, which
thinks 1t has the country by the
throat and proposes to cash In" on
the fact. The word among those
dominant in railroading is that there
Is to be no more fooling. Promises
will not again be accepted.
The country is thus to have a
wage increase that will give another
boost to the price of living and per-
haps start new cycle Of wage in
creases, or there is to be universal
palsy Of business and commerce that
will bring hunger to millions and
create profound political and social
disturbances.
The government is no better
equipped to handle a crisis than in
the past. The Administration. ap.
parently, has no policy except do
nothing one. 1t watched the conflict
in Europe for nearly three years
without getting ready There is
similar unpreparedness with respect
TO railway matters. although the
clouds grow blacker and more omi-
nous.
Congress, in default of the execu.
tive leadership to,which it is entitl-
ed, likewise does nothing. The Sen
ate passed a bill which provided a
way to prevent the country being
held up, but the House killed it and
the Senate acquiesced.
Last week there was a furry in
favor Of enacting an anti-strike
measure, but Senator Cummings,
chairman Of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee. abandoned
the project after a visit to the White
House. 1t is Presidential year. II
the White House will not share re-
spOnsibility and jockeys to put the
other side in a pocket. it is scarcely
30 be expected that an amorphorus
body like Congress. which lacks
means to execute a policy, will get
on the firing line.
A board of unknOwns is consider.
ing" and holding hearings" and back
of it is an aimless administration with
no more idea Of preparedness than
children.
Somebody better get ready for the
final and supreme test Of our indus
trial life-and do it now. even if it is
election year.
