High-Grade Strikebreakers.

The railroads operating around New
York are fighting the strike with new
class of strikebreakers. Trains are be
ing run by volunteer crews of bust
ness men who have offered their serv-
ices in sufficient numbers to maintain
most of the commuter schedules. Men
ton is made in the dispatches Of men
of high position and great means who
have taken posts on engines and are
evidently managing their jobs capably
Ordinarily strikebreakers are of a
totally different class, and resentment
against them is intense on the part of
the strikers. These men who are run
ming the trains in substitution for the
regular crews are, in effect, co-operat
ing for their own aceommo dation.
There can be NO just complaint against
such services. Stoppage of train serv-
ice in the neighborhood of city the
size of New York affects so many PEG
pie that any e1pedient to maintain
transportation is justifabIe.

the great nations are exhausted. Their
treasures are empty. Their people are
tired of war. Nothing now could re-
kindle the fighting spirit in men, or
keep it going very long il rekindled.
There is no safety whatever in that
assertion. The nations that went to
war six years ago were not without
knowledge Of war; Of the sacrifices in
both blood and treasure that war de-
manded All had had bitter war e1-
periences, scattered through centuries.
But, as all we're fighting nations. none
was restrained All entered, and paid
the appalling price.
The world is war weary. Treasures
are empty, and taxes aud high costs
Of living are emptying the pockets of
the people. But, as Admiral Niblack
SAYS. the world is in ferment. Old
nations are unsettled, and new nations
have not had time to settle. Quarrels
and contentious are numerous; and
the situation may any day lead to a
renewal of hostilities. There is no
safety bu, in preparedness for trou-
BILE. Surely, we have paid enough be
cause of unpreparedness. Are we to fall

The Local Strike Threat.

The issue between the Washington
Railway and Electric Company and its
employees turns now upon the question
of recognition Of the union. The bust
ness agents representing the men have
announced that they are willing to
postpone the question Of wage adjust
ment for several weeks pending arhi-
tration, provided the company signs a
contract with the Amalgamated Asso-
citation, which will be virtually recog
milton such as the employees Of this
company have been seeking for some
time past. The directors of the com
pany will meet this afternoon TO pass
upon this point. If their decision is
favorable there will be no strike on
the car lines. If it is adverse, the men
will walk out at midnight tonight. ac-
cording to present plans of the op-
eratives, leaving the entire system with
out regular force for operation. The
fact that the Capital Traction Com
panv is in contractual relations with
its employees may influence the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
to avoid strike by adopting the same
policy.
Employees of the Potomac Electric
Power Company, it appears. have their
own grievances and their threat to
strike is based not upon sympathy with
the street car operatives but upon their
demands for better wages and work
ing conditions. This puts different
aspect upon the ease than was at first
represented. A strike by these work
ers, however, will be unjustifable un-
less 1t should appear that they have
exhausted all other means of obtain
ing concessions for which they have a
righteous claim. A strike on their part
would be more harmful to Washington
than the stoppage of the ear lines Of
