Owners Yield Nothing.

The position of the American Steam
ship Owners Association was defined oy
It's vce-president and general manage
Winthrop l.. Marvin. after a meeting
OF its executive and wage committees ~
IL Broadway yesterday:
"The committees" said Mr.. Marvin
"have considered Secretary of Labor
Daviss proposals and unanimously re-
affirmed the stand of the owners asso-
citation, not only in favor Of the fifteen
per cent. wage reduction, but of the
elimina ton of overtime and for the
principle Of no signed agreement with
these seagoing unions. In other words,
the association has not altered Its posi-
ton in the slightest degree. Our COM
mif.-e will go to Washington to tell Sec
rerary Davis this directly. We origi-
nally favored a wage reduction OF TWEEN
ty-five per cent. Fifteen per cent Is our
compromise. We have none other to
make"

Capt Eugene f. O'Donnell of Boston

among the owners delegates in Wash
ington. After a weekend survey of the
strike situation the owners are more
confident than ever of beating the
strikers. On Saturday and Sunday
seventeen American steamships ran the
Eantlet and sailed from New York.
Believing that their original stand was
properly taken and that their success in
moving ships is due largely to the un-
popularity of the strike among ma riners
themselves the owners say they see nc
reason for yielding an inch.

Harding and World Relations.

Those who gave, and yet give, unalloyed ad-
herence to the Wilson plan for League Of Ma
tions, profess to extract much consolation from
some Of Mr. Hardings recent utterances. The
New York World, for example, affects to believe
the president is about ready to adopt the for
mula Of his predecessor, and to become "a active
champion OF the league. These evidently forget
that all during his campaign Mr.. Harding stead
fasty pledged himself to some form Of associa-
tion Of nations; he was challenged repeatedly to
give his plan definite outline, to make specific
declarations as to its details, but with show
of prudence that gave him high credit among the
people, he waited for the development Of 4 sit
uation then forming and which could not be
anticipated. Now that the inutility Of the Will
son plan has fairly been demonstrated, and the
inequalities OF the Versailles peace have come
from under the gloss Of idealism with which
they were vanished, the Harding views are TAX
ing shape. That advocates of the league are
turning to them is not to b wondered at, for
the sanity Of the presidents project appeals to
all. The world will suffer little, least OF ali will
the prestige Of Warren 6. Harding be affected,
il all he achieves is claimed as growing out of the
Versailles project. What is of vast Importance
is that the president has opened = way through
which the world may progress to lasting peace.

Partners for Better or for Worse.

City folk have always been generous with
their advice to the farmers but it is not often
that man from the country is privileged to
take day off from corn husking and come to
town to speak his mind before an audience of
men influential in the business world The agri-
cultural committee of the Omaha Chamber OF
Commerce has created such an opportunity, and
has invited number of Representatives Of farm
organizations to speak at its weekly meetings.
The first Of these spokesmen for agriculture
was J. o. Shroyer of Humboldt, an official Of
the Farmers union. He brought a frst-hand
knowledge Of the precarious rural conditions and
laid many serious problems before the bankers,
railroad and business men Of the committee.
Even though at points he and his hearers did not
see eye to eye, yet each gained something help
full through learning the others viewpoint.
There is no prosperity unless all is we'll on
the soil The problem is one in which city and
country must cooperate. Carl r. Gray as
chairman Of the agricultural committee, and D.
P. Hogan, vice chairman, have done we'll to make
possible this round table discussion between
farm and city. Farmers 60 to farmers meet
ings and business men 60 to conferences Of their
own. but too rarely do the two interests meet
jointly. With so much in common and so little
in actual conflict, an interchange of ideas should
prove u mutual benefit. Agriculture and BUSH
ness in Nebraska are not competitors, not rivals,
but full partners, both in prosperity and ad-
versity.

Victory for the Law.

A very welcome announcement from the
railroad brotherhoods was that the strike sched-
ulcd to begin on Sunday morning has been called
off. That this action was taken in compliance
with the firm demand Of the Railroad Labor
board that there be no strike until the board had
had time to fully consider and determine upon
the important matters pending before it is also
encouraging, as il indicates disposition on part
OF the men to respect the law. Here is where
the railroad brotherhoods have won great moral
victory for themselves. When fealty to the
union was placed in the balance against fealty
to the country, the answer was in favor of the
United States. Whatever of prestige was de-
stroyed by their previous attitude, and the loss
teriay by their refusal to persist in defying the
law of the land
The outcome holds something OF reply to
the Recommendation made by the majority group
OF the late unemployment conference, that the
Railroad Labor board be wiped out by repeal
ing the provision OF the law creating it. In this
instance, at least, the board has fully vindeated
its right to exist. 1t affords the only means for
adjusting railroad labor disputes without re-
before the war. Without it the country might
now be impatently watching struggle for SUI
premacy between the managers and the men,
A general railroad strike would be dire calain-
ity, and an agency that can avert such an event
deserves appreciation.
What remains to be done is to secure from
the railroad managements recognition Of the
powers Of the board equal to that extorted from
the men. Unless the companies are as willing
to abide by the law, the germ of trouble fingers,
and the disease can not be eliminated. One of
"entire Washington administration was opposed
to u.s." If by this he means that Mr.. Harding
and his cabinet were not willing to submit to
the processes by which the Wilson administra-
ton was forced to pass the Adamson law, he is
right If, however, he has a notion that the
president does not sympathize fully with labor
in its justihable aspirations and efforts, he is
mistaken
Efforts to array class against class, no matter
by whom put forth, are indefensble. Neither
the Adamson law nor the Esch-Cummins law is
perfect; experience has shown and will show de-
fects, and these will be cured but orderly Of
scrvance OF them by all engaged in the transporta-
ton industry will aid materially in getting our
domestic affairs into settled condition again.
Just as the Adamson law resulted in setting up
and maintaining conditions of employment more
favorable to the men than the managers would
grant, so the Esch-C Cummins law has set up q
tribunal for the settlement of disputes, and
neither side is entitled to more than a square

Omaha daily bee., 1921-10-29

We note with some surprise that Congress
man Mclaughlin has committed himself to the
New York state barge canal as the solution Of
the demand from Nebraska for 4 better water
route 10 the seabosrd. Also, we feel quite GER
tain that when Mr.. Mclaughlin has more care
fully Investigated the situation he will revise his
conclusions materially
The Erie canal is probably capable Of hand
ling the 100000 tons Of freight either way its
promoters claim for il. but that use will yet be
local to a large extent; to apply il to Nebraska
will necessitate unloading from cars to lake boats
or barses at Chicago or Milwaukee; another
transfer at Buffalo to the canal barges, not al
ways, but often enough to be burdensome, and
a third rsloading to ocean-going vessels at New
York Twice and frequently thrice the grain will
have to be handled before it reaches deep-sea
bottom. Each time adds to the cost of ship
ment. On the lakcs-to-ocean route. the grain
from Nebraska will be loaded from the cars
into the ocean-soing vessel 1000 miles nearer TO
the field, and with the expense of but single
transfer. This item alone is sufficient to justify
the building Of the St. Lawrence canal.
As to the use of the Erie canal, the New
York Times, discussing the possibilities Of its
service in event of railroad strike says.
II, therefore, the canal were equipped with
barges motor boats and other craft for carry
ing to capacity, and fleets" of motor trucks
were organized to supplement the water trans
portation. one can imagine how the major
needs Of 80 per cent of New York states pop
ulation might be met in an emergency.
Nebraska's interests are manfestly with the
St. Lawrence project, for the advantage of hav-
ing two strings to ones bow is yet plain, and
Just as the state can not afford to depend on
one railroad, so it ought not to be restricted to
q single canal, especially when that canal prom
ises added cost because of increased handling of
grain from carrier to carrier.

Pouring Water on a Dying Weed.

What Americans during the war thought
would never be seen again politicians are now
trying to bring forth into the light and revive.
OF all the great expectations which solaced the
nation in its hour of trial. none was held more
precious than that for all time the people of this
land should be Americans first and not allow
their racial relationships to enter into questions
Of American policy.
To the credit of the foreign born it must be
said that they pretty we'll have lived up to this
ideal II only the politicians would refrain from
encouraging the sense of divided allegiance, moth
ing more might be heard of it. There are great
issues before the citizens-home issues, which
do not touch directly on any foreign problems.
What then, must be said Of the type of states
manship which would inject racial interests into
their solution?
It is an insult to every man with German
blood in his veins for politician to assume that
support Of a measure that would guarantee the
sending of American troops to Germany if that
country should be attacked (an amendment
however, that stood absolutely no chance of ac-
ceptance), would attract racial vote. Such
maneuvers ought to be emphatcally disapproved
by those Of German blood as we'll as by Ameri-
cans born. They have no bearing on the right
ness OF wrongness of the politician in question
on the real issues before the American people.
These tactics may once have been successful,
but things have changed Citizens Of every Class
and kind learned during the war to put aside
these irrelevaneies, but the lesson is yet to be
taught to the tribe of ohice-seekers
