THE RAILROAD WAGE CUT

A general wage reduction move ment on the railroads is foreshad- owed by the judicious statement of the Pennsylvania directors and the somewhat less conciliatory and more lawyer-like statement of the New York Central management. While less than a month ago leading exc cutive said that he did not think the time had come for a general reduc- tion, the continued business depres- sion has probably made it necessary for the railroads to act more hastily than had at first been intended.
 With the volume of business at it's present low level, the pressure for lower wage scales is tWofold. It comes from the arrangements, which cannot reduce forces beyond a certain point and cannot reduce some classes of employees at all, and it comes from the industrial WOrld which demands that the railroads follow it's example AAA ''i Ai'toliAS0 NtbSSo NONl II dglu IuuS helping to make lower rates possible. Moreover, it is probable that nearly every specific proposal for lower wages will have to be presented to the labor board. For this reason par. ticularly, the early action is neces- sary, as even the most rapid perced. ure possible will require considerable time for investigation.
 If the railroads proceed judiciously keepingtheir reductions commensur. ate with demonstrable reductions in living costs, and also reductions in those industrial wage scales which must be taken into comparison. and seeking to abolish only those labor agreements which impose expendi- lures for work not actually performed and reasonable leisure of the worker, a large amount of support for the movement will doubtless be found among the public. But there is need of humane and considerate attitude all round

mission or a commissioner at the head of the fisheries as is the ques- tion as to whom the commission or commissioner shall be responsible Some person or persons must be re- sponsible for the administration of any law The administrators or exc cutors of laws should be responsible to the people, and the people, who see the operation of laws should have the power to alter or amend them at their pleasure The plan of Senator Britt would provide for this If it should be enacted by the terri torial legislature and meet with the sanction of congress it would mean that a very important step had been take in the direction of a wider measure of self-government for the people of Alaska, and that the fisher. ies problem would, at least, be put on basis that would lead to fair and intelligent solution.-Juneau Elm pire.

COMMERCE IS THE THING

Our expanding commerce repre- sents the wings of national prestige progress and power. The world a part of it, at least-regards Amer ica's developing foreign trade with en vious, distrustful eyes. This is na, tural. The world has not yet aban. doned selfishness. Developing Ameri can trade will be regarded with re- sentiment, and threatened, interfered with obstructed by every possible means. These means quite often will be found to be scientifically subtle. Germany was not the only nation which understood the powerful in- fluence of propaganda.
 There are powerful nations which do not wish to see our navy grow. Commerce needs the protection of an adequate navy. The two go together or they do not go at all.
 Peace is desired, yet. But peace is best assured by having at hand the means to enforce it. It never can be wished upon world that is not ready for it. And nations which have something to gain by war are not ready for peace War simply is business in the last analysis. Ma tions fight in order to get something of value. The United States is rich, will become more rich. It must not be that our country possibly might stand the lone lamb among the wolf pack.
 We are ready to trade with the world, with all peoples, and to trade justly. But that trade. which is de- veloping in leaps and bounds, must be protected. It is absurd to believe that it could remain unmolested. That commerce will be protected Cincinnati Inquirer

BRITT FISHERIES MEASURE

The central idea in the fisheries law that is being worked out by Sen ator Britt, chairman of the senate fisheries committee, in connection with the territorial fish commission, is territorial control of this industry. Most of the regulation details as set forth in the measure are not new, and many of them have appeared in other bills that have been prepared. some of which have been introduced in congress. However, these have been carefully considered, with the interest of all concerned always in view. The purpose of Senator Britt and all those who have worked with him has been to be fair to the pack CTS, the fishermen and the people of the territory generally. Senator Britt has applied the results of very care ful and practical investigation to the problems he has undertaken to solve. He has consulted with scores of peo- pie, connected with all phases of the fisheries industry, and with many people who are not connected with the industy but whose interest is the public welfare and who have made a study of the matters involved in fish cries regulation.
 Senator Britt would put the fisher ies in charge of a commission as they are in Oregon and other states. This differs from the Sulzer bill in this respect It provided for control by a single commissioner, as pre- vafls iu the state of Washington. The conference at Seattle last winter fav- ored a commission. However, Senator Britt, very wisely we believe, has provided in his measure for a com mission of only three persons. This would seem to be a fair comprom- 1se between the views of those who favor a single commissioner and those who would have a large con- mission.
 The question, however, is not so much whether we are to have a com
