ment Presented Labor
Board by Unions.
COOPERATION is Remedy

Chicago, April 20. Wastes
amounting to Sl,OO0,OOO,OOO annually
were laid to managerial inefiicicncy
on American railroads in detailed
exhibit placed before the railroad
labor board today as part Of union
labor's fight against a reduction OF
wages. Recoverable wastes were
estimated by the employees at $578,-
100000 year and other wastes, inn
possible of estimation, would equal
that amount, it was declared.
The evidence submitted in the
$4,000 word document is aimed at
the railroads contention that the
present national agreements make
for labor conditions mot in the in
terest of honest. efficient and eco
nomical operation" The employees
point out alleged wastes i'll the pres
ent railroad administrations and
maintain that if those deficiencies
and defaults in management were re-
dressed and repaired there would re-
main no reason for attempting to re-
6uce wages. As a method Of cor
recting wasteful methods and in
creasing the efficiency of employees
the exhibit advocated cooperative
effort between management and
workers and added that this co.
operation could best be obtained
through the medium of uniform
agreements reached by collective
bargaining
Recoverable and easily estimated
wastes were divided by the exhibit
under nine heads having to do large
ly with construction and care of
locomotives and shop machinery,
cost accounting and labor turnover.
Much Unnecessary Waste.
The wastes which the unions said
could not be estimated in terms of
money included a variety OF sub.
jects ranging from defective train
equipment and tracks through Val
legations OF incompetent and ex-
travagant management.
In the last class emphasis was laid
upon publicity and advertising and
on what the unions thought were ,n-
necessary legal expenses. Such ex-
penditures, it was claimed, have
served to increase and have been
charged wrongfully to operating
costs.
1t was also charged that much of
the. defective equipment which the
arrangements Of the road are using
as an argument for the need of de-
creased Magescosts, could have been
avoided if the roads had declared
less liberal dividends and used a
proper proportion Of their earnings

sents those wastes estimated by the

Colombia is to E6gnize Panama

which was in the treaty negotiated
by Bryan, was stricken out, though
Roosevelt defenders continued to de-
nounce the money payment as con-
fession of guilt and a yielding to

Victory for Administration.
The action of the senate was a
sweeping victory for the Harding
administration in its first real test of
strength. 1t was accomplished in
the face Of sharp party revolt through
an alliance Of the administration

been contending that reparation

THE IRISH FREE STATE

The Irish have fought. The Irish
are free. The Irish are jubilant. The
fight was carried on not only by those
who lived in Ireland, but by every
Irishman everywhere. Consequently,
all Irishmen, and Irishwomen, too,

in the full freedom that has been OBJ

are celebrating the joyous event with
a jubilant spirit.

fight, ever so many other Jews stood
aloof and disclaimed any kinship OF
spirit or sympathy with these fighters
for the national freedom and indepen-
dence of their people in the land OF
their fathers. And, when the same
government which has now pro-
claimed the national freedom of the
Irish promised to help bring about
the national freedom Of the Jews, the
promise did not find all Jews united
in the joy and satisfaction that should
have followed it and many OF our peo-
pie protested vigorously. and went
into sackcloth and mourning. tor tear
that they might be suspected OF shar-
ing the jubilant spirit OF their less
calculating brethren. Why, one may
well ask, can the Irishman in America
and even in England afford to mani
fest his sympathy for his fellow Irish
men in Ireland and why cannot the
Jew in America or England afford to
manifest his sympathy for his fellow
Jews in Palestine? Why does not
the American Irishman fear that his
Americanism might be called into
question if he works for the restora-
ton of Ireland and why does the
American Jew sapprehend that his
Americanism might be doubted it ne
works for the restoration OF Eretz
Yisroel?
To be sure, some Of our people are
undoubtedly sincere in their belief
that a Jewish state in Palestine, It
by chance some of it's actions would
displease other nations, might jeopar-
die the position of the Jews living
among these nations. But, did the
Irish entertain similar fears with re-
card to free state of Ireland? Fur
thermore, wherein would the position
of the Jewish people be changed!
The Jews are today scattered among
all the nations of the earth, and they
give unstintingly and ungrudgingly
of their loyalty, of their service and
sacrifice to every country in which
they live. Do not the Jews OF one
country bear today the brunt and bur
den of responsibility for the action
of another country in which Jews re-
side? Does not German anti-Semit-
ism make the Jews responsible for
the German defeat while Poland is
making the Jews responsible to1
Polish difficulties?
The fact of the matter is that the
Jew who opposes the Jewish home
land in Palestine does not do so from
logical and reasonable differences ane
conclusions, but from an irrationa
and inexplicable fear. For, while the
Jew has proved to be the peer of thu
bravest and most courageous on tht
battlefield and has shown an un
flinching fearlessness in the fight, TO-
the cause of every country in which
he dwelt, he, thanks to the age-lont
oppression and persecution which n
has had to endure, often evinces
fearful cowardice when it comes t.
fighting for the cause of his own PEG
pie and the land Of the fathers.
