Truly at Peace
{ Boston Herald)

Gloomy eyes that project gloom on
all they survey can see in central
and southern Europe nothing but
shadow cast by clashing clouds Of
enmity that peace has not dispelled.
But all is not dark to the eyes of hope
and good will. Do not miss the
moral glow which brightens peoples
and places, that were historically
dominated by hatred. Take Italy
and Austria for instance. Is it not
living line of beautiful light. not the
ordinary light Of the sun on land or
sea, that marks the course of the
children's trains between Milan and
Vienna? Austria's starving children
are being saved by Italy. The Ital-
ian train which arrived at Vienna
last Wednesday returned to Milan
with $500 little ones to be kept from
want for the rest Of the winter, and
that was the tenth children's party
taken to italian towns to recuperate.
AT the Austrian capital the train
left several carloads of urgently
needed American Red Cross supplies
for the hospitals in which thousands
OF children, too feeble to undertake
the long journey. had been gathered.
with a quantity OF condensed milk
sent by the Junior Red Cross as their
only food. 1t is a pleasure and
privilege to Americans to help the
starving, and in this case to help one
starving people to care for another.
The browning pleasure is to see those
who were the oppressed come to the
assistance Of those who were the op-
pressors. with the little ones in dis
tress unconsciously acting as media
tors. Greater Italy and Smaller Aus
tria are truly at peace.

Wouldn't that appeal of labor for
political support have been just as
effective If there hadn't been quite so
much in it about the rights Of labor
being endangered? Like every other
class. labor is out for all it can get,
as it has a perfect right TO be, but
claiming it is being down trodden
and bamboozled will not help much.
Too many people think their rights
are being endangered by labor to be
worried very much over what hap

Rights? And Obligations

The right TO cease WORK, lndIvidu-
ally or collectively, for adequate rea-
CONS, is urassailabie. But the prac-
tice OF indiscriminat" striking. for
trivial causes. and regardless OF dis
tress Or damage caused. is indefensi-
bic. No right exists 70 compel men
working. Neither does the right to
strike or cease work in unison ex-
tend to those in federal, state and
nunicipal service.
These propositions are laid down
in a memorial TO Congress issued by
the farmers who are opposed TO con-
;inued government operation Of the
tailroads. While railroad labor and
.auroad strikes are primarily re-
lerred 20. the view taken by the
farmer Of their rights and privileges
extends TO labor in general.
Their findings are based on COM
non seuse and an inheren, feeling Of
Justice tina: extends 10 employers and
me public as well as 20 the !aborers.
There is no iax Of man or God that
compels men individually Or coEIec-
lively 20 work under intole-abie coz
4itions and the converse is that men
nave the right 70 cease work "fer
adequate reasons" and under such
Conditions. When the right 20 cease
voTk lor adequate reasons is con-
SANITY perverted and exercised with
sut discrimination 50 that it works
injury and distress TO employers and
public, and finally to the laborers
themselves. then that right should be
United By legal restrictions
The generally accepted theory Of
government az expressed in the Dec
iaration Of Independence holds that
Ill men are endowed with ''inaliena-
lie rights to life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness" and that TO Sc
-Ire these rights governments are in
st!tuted among men. deriving their
iust powers from the consent Of the
governed. When any government
3ecomss destructive Of thege ends, it
. the right Of the people TO alter or
abolish it." Conversely. if certain
sroups or classes Of the people 60
,eyond their rights and infringe
hose Of their fellow citizens, it is
ne right and the duty of the govern
nent TO exercise it's power to pre-
rent such infringement.
The farmers memorial makes spe-
sial mention Of employees in the serv-
re Of any and all branches Of the
Government. Men SO employed have
special obligation to serve and pro-
'ect all other men. an obligation
~fich does not exist directly for men
privately employed. Government
rnployes are part of the govern
fent chosen to be the custodians of
ne particular department Of public
Teifare in which they are employed.
'iremen. policemen. street cleaners.
s. well as mayors and aldermen.
;overnofs and legislatures have
heir duties and obligations direct to
he people. Infidelity to these sbli-
-ations is a betrayal Of the peoples
eonfidence and it may become GRIM
nal negligence that approaches de-
lance Of all government authority
md borders on treason.
