A CLEAN OF LIGHT.

Occasionally something happens tC
create a more optimistic viewpoint, tC
lead one to hope that solution of the
serious problems between employer and
employee is nearer than might be
thought. For instance, according to
press reports, there was a railroad
shop strike scheduled recently in
Philadelphia to take place on certain
day, which was declared Off indefinite
~ by the leader Of the local union or
ganization after Il conference with a
government official and the vice presi-
dent of the railroad. Following the
conference Harry $. Jeffrey, the labor
chief. said he and other leaders EAR
rived at the conclusion that the public
lis bigger factor than the principles
at issue and that they had placed their
cause before Gen. Atterbury, the rail
road vice president, confident that he
would review ii impartially and adjust
the grievances satisfactorily
The course Of Jeffrey in this instance
is cOmmendable and appears as a CLEAN
of light through the clouds. 1t Is to be
hoped that the railroad vice president
will discharge the duty put upon him
by the action Of Mr.. Jeffrey in way
that will justify the confidence impOs-
ed In him by this labor leader He
ought to give the men square deal
If he does that he will be able to get
along fairly well in the future, a least
as long as the men are willing to con-
cede that the public has rights and are
willing themselves to accept justice.
In our judgment this course will get
labor further than the public be damn
ed policy so often pursued. The pub
lie wants square deal for labor and
the public will stand back of the labor
organization that shows willingness
to consider the rights of the public.
There is need Of harmonious relations
between labor and capital Labor
needs it, capital needs it and the public
needs ii. Everybody realizes that ia
Dor has many just grievances and that
capital is entitled to fair rewards. If
we could only get the viewpoint Of tie
other fellow and fully appreciate his
problems many matters now in CON
flict would be speedily and satisfactOr.

SENATORIAL SUCCESSION.

1t has finally developed why so many
OF the old guard politicians of Iowa
are criticising Senator Kenyon unfair
~ and why they are so anxious to dis
credit him before the people. 1t had
been hoped that the old fractional fight
between progressiveS and Standpatters
in this state was to remain buried at
least until after the presidential cleo
ton this fall, if not permanently, but
the sO-called old guard seem to have
decreed otherwise and already Il can
didate for unitel States senator to
succeed Senator Kenyon is In the field,
regardless of the fact that the question
of who shall succeed the junior senator
will not be determined until 1924. That
is surely taking time by the fOrelock,
as it were, and getting into the field
early. In referring to the evident pur-
pose of the old guard to renew the fight
the Cedar Falls Record says:
The Vinton Eagle has formally an
nounccd the candidacy Of NJ. J. To
bin Of that city, for Seantor KenyOn's
seat in the United States senate.
This piece of news conforms to rum
ors of statewide plan for the return
to power of the remnants Of the Old
guard in the state. With that in view
"a systematic and well organized cam
paign is being conducted to discr2dit
Senator Kenyon in Iowa and hardly Il
day passes that does not witness its
share Of the campaign Of villificati0n,
Misrepresentation and abuse. And it
is having its effect, too, for many Of
the former admirers and friends Of tho
junior senator have been led 10 be-
lieve some of the propaganda III circ'l-
latiOn.
The senatorial primary will come
four years hence. We are sure tie
junior senator would be glad to nd.
vance the date two years in order 10
meet his foes. We are also sure of
the outcome There is nothing in rs
record that an honest man can dis
approve Of. He has nothing TO fear in
laying his case before the Votes Of the
state. He can go out and get III! The
votes he needs at any time.

COMMERCIAL COMEBACK.

No nation engaged in the great war
era tive powers as has Great Britain
and an instance of it is shown in the
marvellous growth of her export trade
Isince the arIhistice was signed. Dur
ling the first five months Of 1913, with
the world at peace, Great Britain's ex-
ports totaled 214,O0O,OOO pounds ster-
ling in value For the first five months
OF the current year they tOtaled 521,-
100000 pounds, or an Increase OF l44
per cent. This was due largely to the
fact that all Britishers were pulling
together Commenting on this aston
fishing commercial comeback 1.-The
Americas publication issued by the
National City Bank of New York says:
Zone nations exports must become
another nations imports and the huge
debt owed by England to the United
States can only be paid with goods. AS
Ia number of other publications are be-
ginning to point out the large increase
in American imports is arousing the
old high prOtectionist group to remon-
STRANGE This is of course Il most I'M
fortunate development. Other nations
cannot settle their debts to us unless
we take their goods. There isn't
enough gold in the world to balance
present international Indebtedness and
the United States would ibe no better
off il gold were to be offered to us to-
morrow for every dollar. owed us by
other nations. British business men
understand that importing is just as
necessary and logical to the prosperity
of their country .: exporting"

WANTS SOVIET GOVERNMENT.

II is not likely that Il large per cent
age of the wage earners Of this cOun-
try are in sympathy with the position
of John Fitzpatrick. president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, who in
an address few days ago before the
convention of the Committee of AZ de-
clared, according to press reports, that
the day will come when the working
people of the United States will get
! together and do job such as the
workers of Russia have done" But
there is no parallel in conditions here
and conditions in Russia as they were
under the rule of the car. The mon
archy had been debating the policy Of
Russia for something like 700 years
and the world knows the monarchy
was cruel and hard. Russia was gov
crned by a dictator and the people had
/ no choice in the selection of officers.
| In this country the working people
| have the ballot and as this government
| is selected by the votes of the majority
the working people have just the
amount of power in the government
| that their numerical strength gives
They can, if they have the votes, Sc
cure any legislation they want, but
al In m
by u majority. The vast majority of
the people Of the United States want
exact Justice for all classes and that
condition will be brought about in due
course Of time.
No government in the world has yet
been able to eradicate every injustice
and make conditions ideal, but i'm
pr0vement is being made gradually
and the working classes are receiving
more and more of the benefits Of the
general advancement all along the line.
Here in the United States the average
wage worker of today can command
more Of the luyuries of life than those
who were accounted well-tO-do could
thirty or forty years ago. Everybody
is glad this is so and everybody is hop
ing that the conditions Of the common
people will continue to improve.
True, effective ways to cure the
rapacity and greed of wealth have not
yet been worked out, but the people
are determined that ways shall be
found and there is no doubt of the
outcome. Labor has many just griev
ances. The great public realize that
and the same public wants to do every
thing possible to remove all just
grievances.
The people of the United States were
glad when the revolution in Russia
overthrow the ear and KerenSky was
installed in power. 1t was believed
that Il government. Of. for and by the
people was to be established and that
the majority would rule Kerensky
