when there was that national men
ace from without.
The railway executives declare
that II the unions are mad enough
to carry out their threat of tying up
the country's transportation they
still will be able to operate their
trains. But IL the managers can
not get the men they need, or for
any reason fail to keep the roads
running, then it will be up to the
Government to see that they are

For the United States Government
not TO keep the railroads running in
such a colossal public emergency
would be for it TO abdicate the rights

small minority attempting to consti-

Senator Cummins. who probably
knows more than any other man in
the Government about the railroads,
the law behind the railroads and the
imperatively necessary functions OF
the railroads in our national organi-
zation, says that the trains must be
kept moving. This is the stand for
responsible legislative authority TO
take. II is the stand for the whole
United States Government and the
American people back OF it to take.
The railroads of the United States
are the country's highways. Upon
the general operation and unob-
structed traffic of the roads depend
the work, the food. the very exist
ence of the American public. To
put the railroads out of business in
such circumstances would be ma
tional menace as destructive in peace
as Il would have been fatal in war.
I When the nation was menaced by
an enemy from without, the United
states kept the railroads running

The controversy which threatens general
tie-up Of the transportation system resolves it,
self into the question whether the carriers and
workmen propose to observe the law of the

whether they intend TO disregard it. Appar-
emily either party can disregard the law with
impunity n IL desires. because, while the
law is very plain, there is no penalty attached
and means for compelling its observance
except the pressure of public sentiment. Sec

ert every reasonable effort and adopt
