THE RAIL DECISION

REPUTATION by influential rail
~ unions of the minority that clamored
for transportation strike was inevi-
table. Without the active cooperation of
locomotive engineers, fremen, trainmen,
signal men and telegraphers, whose rep
resentatives decided to continue work for
peaceful adjustment Of their claims,
no serious interruption of rail service
could be drought about by the mainte-
nance-of-way mems union.
The older brotherhood leaders have
learned to read the lesson of events. They
know that any policy likely to carry
labor organization into conflict with the
will of the country would certainly bring
disaster and loss to the union itself. In
accepting the suggestion for a later
settlement through wage tribunal, which
was advanced first by Mr.. Hines and
later by Mr.. Wilson. they have made a
strike seem highly improbable. And they
left the mainterance-of-w men with
no alternative but to cooperate with the
other organizations in settlement on
the basis of patience and logic.

THE zest with which Mayor Moore has
= taken up Senator Vares defiant ut
terances regarding Chief Hepburn's
strect-cleaning charges is comforting to
a public disgusted with neglected streets
and justly indignant over the abnormal
remuneration alleged to have been ac
corded to incompetence.
: 1t is encouragingly evident that Mr..
Moore stands squarely back of Chief
Hepburn in the latter's expose of the ex-
cessive profits which have been going to
the negligent contractors and that any
s2-called political pressure from the
Ware camp will simply expedite a square
deal and a vigorous reformation of con-
ditions that have grown intolerable.
Mr. Moore is no clustered critic. He
has inspected thoroughfares whose con-
dition he calls "disgraceful." His direct
announcement that his administration.
has no intention whatever of surrender
ing to political contractors and eXamina-
: -ton of the Ware books ''is not bad idea"
reveals the sort of vigor which will have
: the fullest measure of popular support.

SHIPS ON The BLOCK

h1EhE are so many elements OIL novelty
= in the auctioning off of the cream of
the former German liners, which begins
in Washington today, that certain mis-
conceptions of the situation have been,
perhaps, natural. In particular the status
of all. ships flying the American flag has
been misunderstood, in some quarters de-
liberately, in others ingenuously.
AS matter of fact no special rulings
are necessary to determine the govern
ment's rights over any unit of our COM
nlercial fleet in an emergency. Although
owned by a company of international
composition, the st. Louis, st. Paul, New
York and Philadelphia were promptly
converted into scout cruisers in the
Spanish War. Their American registry
Immediately established the jurisdiction
of the United States.
John Barton Payne, chairman of the
shipping board, has, however, performed
public service in explicitly outlining the
conditions under which the thirty vessels,
which once flew the red, white and black,
are to be sold. No bids covering the entire
feet are to be accepted. The ships are to
be sold to as many private companies as
possible. They will always be available
for government purposes. They must re-
=, tain their American registry They are
to ply en- routes which, in the opinion of
the board, will best serve American COM
merce.
1t is hard to see how legitimate criti-
cism of such a plan can be made. In
theory, at least, it is admirable. Practical
considerations, however, demand that the
ships should bring prices commensurate
with their intrinsic worth.
Senator Ashurst's contention that the
whole fleet was to have been sold to
single concern for S2s,0OO,0OO has been
emphatically disputed, Had his forecast
been verified the transaction would hate
been outrageous.
1t is said that the Leviathan alone
$25,000,000 Or $30,000,000. 1t is prefer
able for the ships to be retained by the
board than to be sacrificed.
Fortunately, there are strong proba-
bilties that the disposal of the ships will
be nationally conducted and that bids will
be entered from a variety of sources. The
world is still short of merchant vessels
Passenger services under the American
flag are still ridiculously disproportionate
to the dignity of the nation and it's COM
merical position.
That private ownership cannot be made
profitable under the "dry" laws is a some
what frivolous subterfuge. There is in
adequate sea communication between the
United States and so many foreign
ports-in particular those of South
America-that the demand for accommo-
dation is far stronger than the call for
highballs. If the "sporty" elements are
offended their reservations are still un-
likely to go a-begging.
Opposition to the unprecedented auc-
ton sale is in direct conflict with the
public's present marked antipathy to
government ownership.

youthful officers who, with the material
for good-sized army under their hands,
could not be content for long. An Off
GERS life is dull in times of peace. More
over, it is Improbable. Active service
brings not only diversion. 1t also brings
promotions and higher pay.
The people of the United States should
first be permitted to know whether they
are in need of large military establish
ment. If the need exists it should be
met with scientific thoroughness and not
by a costly makeshift devised by men
who know more about politics than they
know about military technique.

ADRIFT

IT'S free life, the sea life.
L When the turbines Groom their song
And the old ship, the bold ship, ,
Churns merrily along.
It's square life and rare life
With its wind and spray and foam,
With its rough pals, sure enough pals
And the turbines rushing you home
SO sweep the decks down, buddies.
Stand your watch on the focs'le peak,
And break out smile, there, buddies,
Wen be home in another week,
It's u drear life, a scar life,
When the engine misbehaves
With the lost ship, ocean tossed ship.
In the nav of the hungry waves
It's dour life and sour life
With longings unfulilled
For the home cheer and for you, dear,
When the turbines song is stiled.
So hold on tight there, buddes,
It's blowing nasty squall.
Don't dream of the home fires, buddes,
We may never get home at all.

HOG ISLAND SlMPLiFlED

THE ultimate fate of Hog Island is un-
= affected by the purchase of the ship
yard site by the United States shipping
board. The government simply eXer-
cised an option which results in giving it
full control of the yard.
The ownership of the land and the
plant is now identical. Under the exist
ing agreement the International Ship
building Corporation is to operate the
yard until the twelve vessels now under
way are completed. The disposition of
Hog Island will then be problem for the
government to determine.
Whether it is to be scrapped or util-
- Lied according to its possibilities will
; depend on the initiative of the public
and the vigor of private enterprise.
What has happened is merely simplifi-
cation of ownership titles.

MILLION SHAKE EXPERTS
That Number, at Least, in the United
States Have Had Experience
of Earthquakes
BY GEORGE NOX MCCAIN

A RE you one of the estimated million in
n the United States who have experienced
an earthquake shock? The reports during
the last six weeks Of the earthquakes in
southern Mexico have led to the question.
No other part of the Western Hemisphere
in the last twenty years has experienced quite
so many seismic disturbances as southern
Mexico.
I have been interested in the accounts of
earthquakes in that region because / hap

have felt the effects of genuine earth
tremor.
Not mere earth shudder. either, which
left its only record on the seismographs of
the various meteorological stations III the
country.
1t occurred while travelling in what, down
in Mexico, is known as the "tremblor" area
that is, the earthquake zone. It runs in
irregular fashion across the country from the
Gulf of Tehuantepec to the bay, or gulf,
of Campechy on the Atlantic side.
A LONG and tiresoma railroad ride from
"A Oaxaca landed me one afternoon in the
little city of Orizaba, the last town of any
consequence on the plateau before the rail-
road to Vera Cruz plunges down into the
hot lands of the coastal regions.
There is one thing in Orizaba that attracts
the attention of every observant American,
or at least did, that ever descended at its
station on tire Vera Cruz Mexico Railroad
line. 1t is great sign painted on the bricks
of high warehouse wall facing the station.
1t is in large white letters. unique because
it is not only good job of sign painting but
