Coblenz, Jan. 16-Tales of adventure
In the American West are the favorite
reading matter of the American forces
in Germany and Zane Grey is the most
popular author.
Strangely enough, Julius Caesar runs
a close second with the doughboys,
who are very keen about TRANSACTIONS
of Caesars Gallo Wars. This is due
to Caesars activities. in the Rhine VAL
ley and the ruins of a bridge he built
across the Rhine. which lifts Caesars
work out of the schoolbook class and
makes it guidebook that carries the,
Americans back nearly 1900 years.
Books which describe the legends
centering about the Rhine are also
popular. especially with the soldiers

which the roads are hefd under the
Shop Crafts Agreement.
1t is not strange that the roads, IN
their appeal to the railroad LABOR
board, seek to be released from the
national agreement" made by the
general director and certain labor
unions under federal administration,
and interpreted by the railroad adj
ministration's national boards of adj
justment. They are agreements
which. under changed conditions and
individual control, would indefinitely
handicap the roads, and make the
problem of their safe financing in
soluble. If they are retained. as
some of the labor leaderS insist that
they must be, they viii impose upon
the roads burden too-Reavy to be
borne.
This is only one Illustration of the
trouble before our American rail-
sroads. They are not worth running,
with all the extravagapt charges
which have been loaded on to their
shoulders. We must have the rail-
roads. They are the air which our
industries breathe. But the roads
must be allowed to operate with some
degree of common sense. Until we
recognize that the problem will per-

It's Bound to Come

The hammer is out, is uplifted, in
deed it has already fallen and the
crash of smashed crockery rever-
berates in ancestral halls, and idols
as well as ideals are being sent to the
junk heap. The image of Pallas has
disappeared with the other crockery
and soon there will be no palladium
open to man. Here is one editorial
adviser in extraordinary declaring
that men should be trained to be
husbands. And why not he asks.
seeing that it is urged that girls be
trained to be good wives. But who
urged it? Doubtless just such a med
dlesome busybody or perchance, 1t
was some wife who recognized the
need of women being trained as
homekeepers, or possibly one who
needed the price of the advice at
space rates. Be that as it may, sauce
for the goose, sauce for the gander.
And now comes an ex-congressman,
lecturing to the ladies, if you please
saying that his experience had taught
him that women conduct legislative
hearings better than men because
they don't talk so much! Willy ser
pent, he says nothing about talking
at the same time. Ho, hum! It's
bound to come.

We Must Have Them.
Boston HeraldN

The Railway Age gives some str,k :
ing instances Of the injustice suffered
by the railroad arrangements through
the extension to the roads. under
private control, of the arbitrary and
restrictive regulations made during
federal management.
The Pere Marquette Railway for
example, was compelled to give ss364
In back pay to four employees because
their titles under these agreements
were changed by a decision Eof the
director-general. A car repairer on
the Virginian Railway was paid $1,000
for work he never did; he had heen
laid off, with other employees. because
there was no work for him to do ana
when the time came when he was
entitled to be employed under his
seniority rights, and the road could
not take him back because of de-
fective eyesight, the road was com
PEELED to pay him from the time
when, under other conditions he
would have been entitled to re-em-
pioyment, because he had not been
told that his eyesight was bad when
he was laid Off When four car men
on the Santa Fe road were sent out
on the line to do piece Of work
which took four hours and SO min
utes. the company was compelled to
pay them for LIZ hours work. The
Shop Crafts Agreement provides that.
when employees are required to check
in and out on their own time, they
win be paid for one hour extra at the
end of each week, no matter how few
hours they have worked. The en-
forcement of this rule in the first half

knows that traffic rates in many in
stances are, so high they discourage
new business and discourage the old
and the public pays the freight!
He knows that the cost of building
materials, now prohibitive of the nee
essary construction, is partially due
to the high freight rates. He knows
that II man in Augusta wishes to
move his household goods to Massa-
chusetts, for instance, he employs an
auto trucks in place of the railroads.
He knows that excursion rates no
longer invite him; he knows that the
railroads are undergoing serious
competition with the automobile
and yet he wishes the railroad to con-
tinue running, as the automobile can
not take its place.
If he happens to own railway in
vestments-and that doesn't make
him an undesirable citizen-he knows
that the Transportation Act empow-
ers the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to prescribe rates to yield
operating expenses and five and half
per cent on the investment-surely
not an excessive rate of interest! He
knows that the present rates fixed
are not high enough to do that if
present costs of operating the rail-
roads are maintained, but that these
same rates are so high they retard
and repel business when they should
encourage and invite it. These are
conditions patent to the public, so it
must conclude retrenchment in those
operating expenses must be had Per-
haps the railroad management is
chinery to adjust that. If he knows
anything about the situation and the
wages he has no doubt that they
are too high. and where that is evil
dent he sees no reason why the fault
should not be remedied at once.
What is it the managers ask? They
ask to be relieved, for one thing, of
the obligation to continue paying I'M
skilled labor war wages. They ask
for permission for each road to deal
with it's employees, as conditions
vary in different parts of the country
and with different roads. They
would have conditions which would
enable them to have their repair work
done in their own shops as cheaply
as it would be possible to get it done
by outside concerns. They ask for a
return to conditions such as obtained
| when it was possible for a railroad to
hire the money it needed, when rail-
road labor was neither oppressed nor
denied decent wage. They want
these now. If they are too urgent
and this is open to doubt-they are
not so urgent as was the railway en-
ployes when they threatened to
| starve the country into submission
unless their demands were granted
mmediately-and we knew some of
their demands were excessive, be-
yond what they themselves expected
Two wrongs don't make right, but
this last emergency is surely as i'm
portant as was the other, and that
was granted because it was an emer-
gency. Better grant this. @
