Railroad Strike Responsibility

The strike order issued by the heads
of the railway brotherhoods and other
organizations of operatives was based.
1t is said, upon the vote recently taken.
which resulted in an overwhelming
demand for suspension of work as a
protest against the wage reductions
ordered by the federal railway wage
board. In point Of fact, however, the
vote was not specific mandate for a
strike in any or all circumstances. Ac.
cording to the form of the ballot sub
mitted to the men it was an authorize
ton to the organization chiefs to call
strike If in their judgment such a
move was desirable or justiflable. The
responsibility for the strike rests
squarely upon the executives Of the
organizations. In all the history Of
railroad unions no referendum for a
strike has resulted negatively. In
other words, the men have charged
their leaders directly with the re.
sponsibility of ordering a strike, their
votes being merely in the nature Of Q
specific grant Of power.
The conclusion cannot be avoided
that the organization chiefs have is
sued the strike order because the rail.
road executives have indicated an un-
willingness to accept rate reductions
save on the basis of a further reduc-
ton in wages. Thus the strike order
may be viewed as a shrewd attempt to
shift the responsibility from the
brotherhoods to the railroad execu-
tives. But there is this difference: The
railroad heads did not issue a man.
date Of defiance or demand, but merely
indicated a policy which. 1t is plain.
may not be maintained, while the
strike order is explicit. 1t does not fol.
low that because the railroad execu.
tives declare for further wage reduc.
tions to accompany rate reductions
the government, which fixes the rates
through the Interstate Commerce
Commission, will accede to the proposi.
ton. On the other hand, the strike
order, if carried into effect, means the
stoppage of the trains and. unless 1t is
modified or nullified by Intervention Of
the government. the stoppage Of the
mails.
1t is well established that the gov.
ernment can by the exercise Of its full
power keep the mail trains running,
strike orders to the contrary notwith.
standing. The brotherhood executives
are probably in no doubt on this point.
They understand perfectly what hap
pend in Chicago during Grover Cleve'
lands administration and the course
Of judicial decisions justifying his &C.
ton in that case.
1t is evident from the declaration of
Postmaster General Hays this morn.
ing that "the mails will be kept NOV.
ing" that the policy Of the govern.
ment will not be a weakened one.
Hoping to avert the necessity Of inter.
vening, the administration will not
finch from the exercise Of the fullest
federal powers in order that law and
order shall be maintained and that the
government shall continue to function.

Suggestions for the Conference.

In some correspondence just pub.
lished Secretary Hughes welcomes
suggestions about the business that
will come before the. armament con.
ference, but adds that he is "natu.
rally anxious that the American peo'
pie should place confidence in the
American delegation. and that those
who are most interested in the OBJ.
jects to be attained will permit US to
endeavor to attain them and to per-
form our important work without un.
necessary embarrassment"
Many suggestions are likely to be
received, and unfortunately some of
them will spring from the mistaken
idea still doing duty that disarmament
is the object of the conference.
Both Secretary Hughes and the
President deplore this. and have been
trying to correct the mistake.
America will not propose disarma.
ment, nor expect any of the visitors
to do so. The question is economic,
and not idealistic. The conference
would not have been called to discuss
the horrors Of war and the allurements
of peace, for they need no discussion
at this time.
But the economic question is i'm.
perative. It must be discussed. The
world is on the verge Of bankruptcy.
Sail must be taken in everywhere, and
all the leading nations are agreed that
far too much money is being spent on
war establishments. The proposition
follows that the bills must be trimmed.
The nations can no longer stand the
expense.
If one result Of the conference is
an agreement on this score, carrying
with it details about applying the
pruning knife and pledges that the
knife shall be applied, the calling Of
the conference will stand fully justi.
fled and the ends Of peace excellently
served. .....

Long Skirts and Business.

American women might doubt whether
they could be forced back to long skirts
| merely by the decree Of the Paris
modistes. But when they read that the
skirts which Mary Pickford has bought
| in Paris are long and wide they are
sure that the change is coming. The
younger set follows Mary like lamb.
Just as an economic sharp once esti-
| mated that if every Chinaman could be
induced to have his shirt made one inch
longer it would help the cotton industry
| to millions of dollars, SO the lightning
calculators in Washington are figuring
on what long skirts will do toward re-
viving business. TWentyoi1ye in million tlion
out, a million gowns to be replaced by
| women who hasten to keep step with
| new fashions, more sales OF low shoes
and braid and trimmings-an enthusi-
asst can picture the immediate return OF
prosperity.
But what is going to happen to the
| large stocks Of heavy woolen stockings
of the kind that women began wearing

come of the stout high shoes now ready
on the shelves for women's winter

Members Of the press were not per-

Senator Meyer emerged from his Office
and gave an account Of what had hap
pened. The Senator said:
Commissioner Leach has refused TO
testify on the ground that the legisla-
tive body has no right to name a sub
committee of one. He commended that
the Subcommittee has no auunority to
sit, either in public or executive ses-
sion. Commissioner Leach was in
formed that if he persisted in his atti-
tude the matter would be placed before
the entire committee. Mr.. Leach re-
peated his refusal to testify, although
he produced certain police records we
had asked for, The commissioner ques-

When the committee had been In

about an interesting situation.
Corporation Counsel O'Brien at

Leach into the private Office in which
the committee was sitting. When the

on the same floor rushed out to see
what the rumpus was about.
Mr.. O'Brien gave the sergeant-at-

George P. Nicholson, Assistant Cor

that the city would not pay the claims

creased construction costs due to the
war, regardless Of what the contractors
might believe was the understanding
upon which the strikes of 1918 were
settled and regardless of the Lock
wood act, which authorizes the city
to adjust such claims.
"The subway contractors who sup
ported the bill signed by the Gov

contractors claims, will not get any
money from the city," said Mr.. Nichol-
son. "The city never agreed to pay
them anything. If they get anything
