Men Of Nation

Chicago-Ra:lroad shopmen belong.
ing TO the six federated shop crafts
unions have voted to strike against the
railroad wsge reduction of July 1, hut
will defer action until pronunciation of
working rules pending before the rail-
road labor board. when another vote
will be taken on acceptance or rejec-
ton Of the rules This announcement
was officially made by b. NJ. Jewell,
head Of the shop crafts organizations,
at a mass meeting Of Chicago shop
workers Sunday.
Belief that stronger fight could be
made, X strike is called, with preser-
walton OF the shopmen's working rules
as goal led to the decision to with.
hold a strike call for the present, Mr..
Jewell said. He and other union speak
ers counselled the men to wait until the
entire wage and rules situation was
before them, rather Than rush into u
strike which, Mr.. Jewell declared, the
railroads desired.
1--WE can make q real fight on the
rules proposition when we might no,
have the full support of other branches
OF railway employees on wage fight
alone he haid. 1--WE must wait until
the time is opportune. You men who
have been on strike before don't want
to rush blindly into this thing. But if
the labor board releases all remainin,
rules to be acted on at one time, then
we will have the whole matter before
us. We will need only one vote to de-
termine what will be DONE"

Not With Officials Hereafte

packing concerns the companies have
formed their employees in organiza
tions, representatives Of which treat

The New immigration Law.

Some hardships are attending the
enforcement OF the new immigration
law. They were to be expected. and
are to be lamented. They should be
softened whenever possible. In this.
as in all cases, the spirit Is more than
the letter, and the letter should not
be permitted to kill the spirit.
In the new enactment Congress was
dealing with condition. well under.
stood. and that required immediate at
tention. The war had increased rest.
lessness abroad and unemployment
here at home. The restless and the
unemployed Of Europe were seeking
relief by dumping" themselves on
America. while the unemployed OF
America were in a state Of helpless
ness. Bad as conditions were at home,
Americans had no desire to emierate.
The only remedy, therefore. seemed
to be a provision against dumping"
and Congress was besought to apply
the remedy. Check the food Of i'm.
migration until time when unemploy'
ment conditions both abroad and at
home should yield somewhat to the
fight Of time.
The new law was drafted to meet
and master that condition. The theory
Of immigration was not involved. and
was not impaired. America remained
and remains. the land Of opportunity
and as soon as something like normal
is restored-the upset occasioned by
the war becomes less pronounced-the
worthy Of Europe. seeking new homes
with good intent, will be as welcome
in this country AZ at any time in the
past. and without limitation as to mum
bers.

put the crew IN irons. Not too much
dependence is to be placed upon the
bottled note. Practical jokers have set
fakes floating heretofore and started
patrols on Wild goose chases.
OF course. q thorough search will be
made throughout the waters marked
by these mysterious circumstances.
But hunting for single submarine
in the Atlantic is about as dihacult q
task as the traditional search for q
needle In haystack. The only element
that points to substance in this sus-
picion is the fact that the ships that
have disappeared were missing at
about the same time. Ships so forth
into the sea from time to time and are
never heard of again. When a violent
storm RACES such disappearancea are
likely to occur in numbers. Lat so
far as known there was no such torn
at the. time Of these disappearSnces
and some other element must be sought
to account for their vanishing. The
peculiar condition in which the
schooner Deering was found OF Dia-
mond shoals leads to the assumption
that she was abandoned in haste. She
was not disabled or aleak. Crews do.
not leave a ship in good condition with
the mess tables set for meals without
some extraordinary reason.
Apparently the piracy" occurred
some months age and has not been
lately repeated. II a submarine or
other craft was used. was ct in turn
lost? And if the ships were seized to
serve in other waters for cargo carry
ing. why have they not been recog-
nized? A ship Is not easily disguised,
and unless these craft have been taken
into ports where registers are not
known they would presumably have
been noted and recognized ere now.
The whole case Is mysterious. It
may remain as profound problem
as the disappearance Of the Cyclops.
