statement that it will be retroactive

will lose nothing by the delay If the
award is in their favor.
Any general disturbance of work
ing relations in the railroad field at
this time would be highly disastrous.
1t would make for immense losses to
trade and industry, the public suffer
ing chiefly. as usual The losses of
wages in a general strike would be
greatly in excess of any gains in com
pensation eventually to be secured
through adjustment.
OF equal importance with the ques-
ton of freight service, however, are
the developments that may show how
far discipline has been weakened in
the ranks of the railroad brother
hoods. For some time past there has
been a tendency toward secession.
Grunau's outlaw strike several months
ago, which brought about the creation
of the railroad wage board, did not
measure the strength of
this movement, for it was Joined by
large numbers of men who did not
realize the issues of organization 10y
atty involved. There was a good deal
of hysteria about that strike. Many
of the men were stampeded into quit
ting work. If on the announcement
of the award in July another strike is
through dissatisfaction a
better line will be had on the rela
tive strength of the brotherhoods and
the antagonistic elements that are now

A Railroad Wage Decision Soon.

The chairman of the railroad labor
board has announced that decision

Houneement, it is believed, win have
the effect of preventing a waIkout TO-
night by men who are dissatisfied with
the situation and impatient for action
by the wage board. 1t is not, of course
assured. that the railroad operatives
will be satisfied with the award when
it is made. In the present temper OF
the railroad workers, not all of whom
are under the restraint of organiza
ton discipline, it would not be sur
prising to find any award short of q
full. compliance with demands reject

This is an unusual and deplorable
record on both, sides for the common
wealth which in the days of Conkling

of great, and at times of overshadow-
ing, consequence in the deliberations

: Platform and Candidate.

This is question under lnforma
discussion at San Francisco: Shall th'
platform be adopted before the nomi
nation for President is made. or wee
vefSa! On the one side are delegates
who insist upon the announcement OF
principles first. On the other side art
delegates who assert that the candr
date, whoever he may be, will stand
for whatever principles may have been
promulgated.
The candidate has not always ac'
eepted the platform in its entirety
Mr.. Cleveland did not in 1892. The
dem moeratic party in its platform that
year wobbled on silver In his letter
of acceptsnce the candidate did not.
Nj. Cleveland made his gold leanings
entirely plain. He was elected, but
less because of that frankness than
because of the Homestead strike. In
deed. many po4itieiaAs-some of his
ovn party-aseribed his success sole
" to the strike and the bloody riots
thatiioIowed.
Twelve years later Judge Parker
copied the Cleveland example The
democracy that year did not make its
meaning on the silver question clear,
and the candidate, by his "gold tele-
gram" took his stand very definitely.
He was defeated, but not because of
his frankness. He was overborne at
the polls. by the irresistible personal
ity Of Theodore Roosevelt.
The argument favors putting the
platform first. A party should an
nounce its principles, and then put a
man forward to represent them, and
pledged in ease of election to use all
the influence of his Office toward trans
lating them into Law.
This year the people want, and should
have, square DEAL The platform
should stand for the party, and the
candidate should stand en- the plat
form. If the San Francisco conven-
ton fails to deal squarely with the
country, its delinquency will be ex-
posed and emphasized in the campaign,
and the democ1scy's chance at the
polls reduced to. the negligible.

A Lean Year for New York.

Tammany has reached San Francisco
in state of incertitude. It is wet
and anti Wilson, but has not decided
how it may hope to make its influence
felt in the convention.
1t has no candidate. 1t feels friend
ly toward Vice President. Marshall and
Gov. Cox, but the former continues to
declare he is not in the race. The
talk about Gov. Smith is Of no eonse-
quence. Nobody has taken. or win
take, it seriously.
TammaHy's interest in the platform
is confined to the prohibition ques-
ton. 1t would be glad to see both
the eighteenth amendment and the
Yolstead act wiped off the books, but
realizing the impossibility of that is
eager to cooperate with those having
some proposition in hand capable of

bat there was no sentiment for him
either inside or outside the delegation
The presentation of his name in the
circumstances was sort of mystery

Refrement Deductions

Controller Wa1wick's decision re-
gafding the manner in which the re-
tifement fund is to be created does
not at al affect the personnel of the
departments. He decides that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury is to place a
certain amount Of money in a separate
fund, by the 1st Of August, to repre-
sent the requirements of the retire
ment system for the fiscal year end
ing june 80 next He Is then to re
pay the general Treasury fund IN the
amount of the dednctions from the
pay Of the employeA IN monthly In
staIments zt the rzte of 211a per cent

ernment having segregated the total
amount for the full year m separate

yeax. .-n.
It is, Of course, assumed that in
those deductions NO account will be
taken of the bonus of $40 granted
BY Congress. Thus a clerk receiving

800 month. viii get actually sl17.5e

hand, is feckcned as part of the regu.

Give the Children a Chance.

A festival is being held today in .Po-
tomac Park in connection with move
ment to raise funds to permit the
sending during the summer of groups
of children into the public parks of
the District for outings under proper
ichaperonage. For this purpose money
Is necessary to pay car fares and to
provide lunches. The hope is that
enough will be raised to give every
child in Washington who otherwise
cannot enjoy the pleasures of park
pienics at least one day in the open
this season.
Washington's parks are great pleas
ure places and Fairgrounds. They
should be used to the fullest extent by
the people. Unfortunately there are
many youngsters in this city to whom
these spaces are as unavailable as
though they were in Baltimore or
Philadelphia. A round trip on the
street cars on a one-fare basis costs
15 cents. The luncheon costs at least
as much more, or 80 cents child in all
| at minimum. There are numerous
families that cannot afford to spend
this much, and in practically all of
these cases the parents cannot accom-
pany the children. 1t is proposed
to organize, through the playground
department, a series of park picnics
that will include hundreds of children,
In short, this movement contem-
plates extending the public playground
facilities of the District to comprise
| the great park spaces. The play
| grounds themselves have been of in
finite value to the people. They have
kept the children engaged in whole
some recreation under supervision
that has lessened to q minimum the
dangers of their sports and games.
They have kept them off the streets
| where they are exposed to disable
ment and death The playground
equipment of the city is not yet what
| it should be- Some of the grounds
themselves have been lost because
they were not owned OF securely leased
, and substitutes must now be found for
! these. With a sufficient fund for the
summer days outings the health and
pleasure of the children of Washing
| ton can be greatly advanced, and the
hope is that a generous response Will
be made to the appeal of today.
