Mistakes Of Four Years Ago"

Senator Harding has written a
soothing letter to a troubled labor
leader. This gentleman. Mr..
James L. Feeney, formerly Presi-
dent of the Central Labor Union
of Washington, had urged the
Republican candidate to say
nothing at all about labor unions
unless he could say something
good" He had reminded Sena-
tor Harding that Hughes, in
1916, made votes for the Demo-
Gratis by assailing the Adams on
law" In reply, the Republican
nominee assured Mr.. Feeney that
Il do not think we shall make
some of the mistakes which
characterized the campaign of
four years ago."
Whatever those mistakes were
they did not prevent Mr.. Hughes
from getting heavy majorities in
all the great industrial States ex-
cept Ohio. If he made Demo-
cratic votes" in New York or
New Jersey or Illinois, he did
not make enough to cut into his
big margin-110,0 in New
York, $4,000 in New Jersey, and
50 on. The plain truth is that
Mr.. Hughes, far from hurting
himself, helped his canvass by
the firm stand which he took
against political dictation by
labor unions or by any other
class. The Adamson law was
passed virtually under duress; a
general railroad strike was the

threat which, like a cooked pisto
was held at the head of Con.
gress. 1t was the first of q
series of attempts by the railway
unions to intimidate the lawmak-
ing power. These grew so eX-
IRENE, particularly in the de-
mand that the Plumb plan be
adopted, and in the summons of
Congress to defeat the Esch-
Cummins bill, that Congress
simply had to resist them. The
public has grown increasingly
resentful of this arrogant and
selfish attitude. The political
mistake" would be to yield to
it, not to oppose it.
Evidence accumulates abroad
as we'll as in this country that
the railway unions have over
played their hand. A strong re-
action against them has set in.
In England, for example, it has
been quietly taken for granted
that the unions were to have
their way in getting the nationali-
zation of the English roads. But
a few days ago since the Minister
of Transport, Sir Eric Geddes,
informed the House of Commons
that the Government had deci-
ded against the plan. The study
which the Ministry has given to
the subject had convinced them
that State management of rail-
roads was universally both costly
and inefficient. An official report
on the Italian experience came
to the conclusion, declared Sir
Eric, that politics corrupted
railway management and railway
management (by the State) cor
rupted politics. This truth is
now pretty deeply rooted in the
American mind. To go against
it would be to blunder. New
