powerful union in America. Hereto
fore it has been ably and conservative
ly directed, and generally it has gotten
about what il wanted. Railroad eXecu-
tiycs have always regarded this broth
erhood with respect, if not with fear.
There has too been a feeling OF deep
jealousy on the part of the railroad cX-
ccutives against the brotherhood. This
feeling has been shared by executives
in all other labor employing enterprlS-
es. Employers generally cultivate the
thought that to them belongs the pre-
negatives of fixing wages, working con-
ditions, etc, and if this prerOgative
has not actually belonged to the broth
crhOod of locomotive engineers, 1t mas
at least been shared by them. %ll 9TH
er unions look up to this brotherhood,
and all employers who have to do with
organized labor, look upon the brother
hood as the most powerful of all guilds
The brotherhood has never been con-
sidered as arrogant or anything of that
kind; but it has been business like. 1t
has meyer asked any favors; but has
demanded rights. The fight now on
has been brewing for many years, ana
il had to come. The real issue is not
so much whether the railroad men are
to get So, S., 81 or SO day; but
whether employers or employees are TO
have most to say about the liking oi
wages and conditions Of labor. OF
course the matter might be settled by
compromise; but if it goes on to fin
ish, by the time it is over, the country
will at least know there has been some
thing of war between capital ana
labor.

Kirby, Fox and Gappins-C. o. Fox is
the only one who is likely TO pay the
extreme penalty next Friday. The at
torncys for Gappins and Kirby gave
notices of appeal, which notices acted
as stays of execution. Friends Of Fox
petilioned the governor to rcpricvc Fox
until the execution Of the sentences IN
the case of the others. The petition
was entirely reasonable; but being q
lawyer. and sticklcr for the forms Of
law, the governor declined 10 interfere.
The attorney for Kirby gave notice OF
appeal: but failed TO perfect the ap-
peal by filing the case with exceptions.
Il is held now that unless the appeal
is withdrawn. ii acts as Il stay OF exc
cutiun until it is dismissed 10y the Su-
prcmo court. Just what will b" done,
whether Kirby will be executed Friday,
or whether the execution will be de-

That Gappns will not b" executed un-
til the end of the regular procedure is
reasonably certain.

THE WEST ROAD

Within another mOnln Ut Ied9ti ian
weather prevailing, the new West ROAD
between Smyrna and Hickory Grove
will be comn!nted and all will be in
readiness to continue the road work
from Hickory Grove to Sharon and
thence to YOrkville. Contractor HUI
stetler and his large road fo"ce have
lost no time since they began construc-
ton work on York cOunty'S newest
road project and they have pushed the
work forward at a remarkable rate.
The biggest Improvement that has
been made in the little village OF
SMYRNA since the village was cstab-
lished is the new overhead bridge over
the Southern railroad which has just
been built by the bridge forces OF the
railroad connecting with the west road
and eliminating a grade crossing that
has been Il source of great danger ana
fear since the railroad was built more
than thirty gears ago. =
Euilding Of the West road eliminates
all of the numerous grade crossings
between Smyrna and Hickory Grove
save one. This crossing near the cor
pOratc limits Of the town Of Hickory
Grove. is not considered very
dangerous place and traffic is in little
danger on its account.
SmyIna people feel much gratificd
ana relieved on account Of the building
of the overhead bridge at Smyrna. IL

The Great Railroad Strike.

While there is still good reason TO
hope that the threatened railroad
strike may bc avcrted, il is probably
lust as well for everybody in this
country to realize at the outset some
Of the consequences that are to be fac
ed if it goes on.
PROVIDED there is no compromise BE-
fore the strike actually goes into .H-
feet, the country is To go up against
what will probably be the most dcs-
pcratc and far reaching industrial
struggle this country has ever known.
The issue down at the bottom is be
tween capital and labor-bctweeh
those who earn their incomes from
their own cXcrtiOns and those who get
their incomes through returns from
money invested. That describes the
issue as between the immediate prin-
ciSals in the fight, the various railroad
labor unions on the one hand and the
railroad executives on the other. But
those who are now unable to see fur
thcr into developments, will, if the hght
goes on. be made to feel that every
man. woman and child in America IS
deeply concerned.
Those who have not thought Of it be-
fore will take an elementary look on
the extent to which they are individu-
ally concerned with the transportation
do,
thcy eat comes over the railroads, what
does not come over the railroads ana
the effect on the prices Of that which
does not come over the railroads, If the
supply that does come over the rail-
roads is cGt off. Likewise let them
aDply the same. consideration to arti-
cles of wearing and all ether uses.
The railway brotherhoods claim that
they are going to stop practically
every wheel. The spokesmen for the
railway executives claim that it is I'M
possible that the strike shall extend to
all Of their trains. They do not expect
TO operate the railroads as well with
out the brothcrhoods as with them;
but they say they will continue opera
tions in some kind of fashion.

which he soon after recovered. He was
unable to appear for -eXamina-
ton Friday and the investigation was
postponed until Monday. Earlier dur
ing Thursdays proceedings Senator
Thomas L. Watson demanded the right
to come to the aid of Simmons and told
him to ask if the senate and house ap-
preparation committees were not AT
that very moment recommending ap-
preparations for lawyers of from S2o,-
600 to $4,000 for alleged services IN
connection with shipping board litiga-
tion. This was by way of an answer
to the exaggerated amounts that Sim
mons and others were said to be re-
ceiving as salaries. Simmons had tes-
tilted that his own salary was $1,000
month.

From the report Of that Chicago con-
ference between the railroad manage
mcnt and railroad labor, it is begin
ming to look as if the preliminary
promises of voluntary reductions OF
freight rates were largely for the pur-
pose of enlisting public sentiment in
support Of the movement to reduce the
wages of the railroad workers. AS to
whether railroad wages are too high
W. do not know That depends on
many considerations. We do know,
however, that when freight rates are
beyond the public reach, the result is a
showdown in the volume of traffic,
and we have never been sure whether
the object in raising the freight rates
was more to meet increased labor
charges than it was TO deprcss buSl-
ness in furtherance of denatiUn.' The
railroad management is telling the rep
of labor that if the labor
cost is reduced freight rates will be re-
duced. As TO whether there is any
other way of settling the matter cX-
cept to fight it out, we will have to
wait and see.
