LONDON, June 25.-"Let us .ex-

Premier Lloyd George tonight
sent out letters to the leaders of
the two Irish factions to meet in

a supreme effort to settle the Irish

THE PEOPLE SHALL RULE.

With railroad strike threatened,
some politicians, as we'll as some So
called labor leaders, appear to over
look the fact that though the rail-
roads were returned to private con-
troll the public is still paying the
bills caused by artificial rules, regu-
lations and wage scales forced on the
railroads for political purposes.
In all countries the price of COM
mOdities has been lowered and wages
have been revised downward.
In the United States farm products
are lower in price than for many
years and the price of other essen
tails of life has been sharply reduc-
ed. Wages of labor generally have
been lowered in consonance. with re-
duced cost Of living. Justice dictates
that all be treated alike.
But railroad labor, which is the
highest paid of all, brazenly says that
changes in wages and working condi-
tions will not be accepted. Not only
does this class of labor propose to
retain war wages, but also fifty per
cent more for all time after eight
hours.
Not long ago when the shadows of
the great war were gathering on our
horizon this same element with stop
watch in hand forced the passage of
the Adamson law with threats of a
strike, a surrender of governmental
power as humiliating to the public
as it was subversive of popular gov
ernment. No president or congress
will ever dare to again put the patti
ence or tolerance of the people to
such test.
The situation has entirely changed
since then. The stop-watch is now be-
ing held by the public, more deter
mined than the radical labor oligarchy
ever was that exploitation of the pub
lie shall cease.
Strike or no strike the public is de-
termined that wages and working CON
ditions of railroad employees shall be

dustries, and that working agree
ments which permit employees to
ployes to draw pay when not actual
ly working, or fifty per cent more
than their present high rate for all
time after eight hours, shall be can
celled
The public is watching closely the
attitude of the United States railroad
labor board. If this board takes the
necessary action in revising wages
and in eliminating from working
agreements provisions wrich permit
ted such abuses as overtime after the
first eight hours at time and a half
whether sleeping or working, the pub
lie will sustain it. If it fails, the
public not only will condemn it, but
very probably wipe it out.
The people will not be trifled with
either by railroad employees or the la
Dor board. They will not be deferred
as in the days of the Adamson fiasco.
by threats of a strike. In the first
place there never was a better time
TO clean house. The country is fill
ed with idle men and there viii be
plenty to fill all vacancies. In the
second place the people, and not few
agitators, are going to continue to
run this country for the people are
paying the bills.

LABOR HAD LITTLE
To CELEBRATE over

With six million men out of work
and industries idle for lack of mar
ket, with federal troops in control Of
the mining regions of West Virginia,
with many thousands striking for the
maintenance of war time wages or
the establishment of 44-hour week,
with bread lines and soup houses in
prospect, labor had not much to cele-
brate this labor day.
When wages were high and work
plentiful, labor was most dissatisfied
and permeated with unrest, and did
least. Now that the change in con-
ditions voted for has been realized
and normalcy is here, organized la
Dor displays little Of the spirit neces-
sary for successful readjustment.
Professional labor leaders pretend
to sec in The financial depression only
a capitalistic conspiracy to bring on
hard times for the purpose Of reduc-
ing wages and thereby increasing the
pryfits. This theory is absurd. Hard
times are the result of economic con-
ditions, the inevitable reaction from
the destruction and waste Of the war
and the initiation and generalization
following. For every dollar labor
loses in idleness, idle capital loses
prCpcrtionately and the losses sus-
tanned can never be recouped.
Everyone realizes that the higher
wages are, the greater the prosperity
Of ire nation and no one wants to cut
wages provided the business justifies
their continuance and the high wages
really assure production instead Of
sabotage. The problem of the average
employer now is to keep going and
mce5 his payroll. With diminished in
come and vanished profits. he can not
operated upon the prosperity basis Of
few months ago. Yet the walking
delegate insists on the wartime pay
long after the cost Of living which
raieed wages, has declined, and this
attitude is gripping production and
halting industry.
As long rs labor organizations
work for better conditions and great
er production, they have universal
respect When, however, they begin
the practice Of curtailing and ham
perrin" production, unreasonabIy short
enirn hours, and systematically doing
a siittle as possible for as much pay
as possible, they began to lose the
support Of public opinion, and will
continue TO lose it unless they change
their methods.
Labor unionism has helped destroy
industrial autocracy and so has been
OF great service to humanity. How
ever, it breeds class consciousness,
pcrpctuatcs undemocratic class dis
tinctiona and tends toward an autoc-
racy us bad as that it replaces.
The day Of the rule Of walking del
egates is passing along with that Of
the industrial autocrat and the day
Of q closer cooperation and commun-
ity Of interest between employer and
CT pI2ye is dawning. The theory that
those outside of an institution should
arbitrarily dictate to those within is
wrong in principle and vicious in prac-
tice-hence the modern idea of cO-op-
erative management where employe
repre- sentation cO-Operates in determ-
ming policy and insures a square deal
for all.

DIFFICULT SHIPPING PROBLEM

A careful compilation shows that
the daily cost Of operating an Amer
lean vessel of 5000 tons, exclusive of
fuel, is $500; Japanese, $275; Span
ish 5000, and German $3.50. That
gives some indication Of the problem
the shipping board has to meet in
putting the American merchant ma
rine fleet on a paying basis. 1t will
take time to do it. Men of ability,
energy and patriotism have been as
signed to the job by President Hard
ing, and it is up to the public to be
patient and give them an opportun-
ity to make good.
The Bozeman courier., 1921-09-28

by some editors can only be attribut-
ed TO a misconception of the purpose
of the conference or to gross careless
ness in the use of words.
On July 10th the state department
issued a statement to the effect that
''the president in view of the far
reaching Importance of the question
of limitation of armaments" had ask
ed the powers if it would be agree
able to them to participate in a con-
ference on the subject. 'It is mani
fest," continued the statement, ''that
the question of limitation of arma-
ments has a close relation to Pacific
and far eastern problems" and it was
suggested that those subjects be also
considered at the meeting.
Favorable replies to the informal
invitation Were received whereupon
Secretary of State Hughes dispatched
formal messages to the five powers
asking them to attend meeting on
Armistice Day. Those messages be-
san S1o 4OliOWSs Inc pEeSluSHI II
deeply gratified at the cordial re-
sponse to his suggestion that there
should be a conference On the subject
Of limitation of armament" etc "In
pursuance of the proposal which has
been made" continued the invitation,
"and in the light of the gracious in
dication Of its acceptance, the presi-
dent invites the government Or
TO participate in a conference on the
ubject Of limitation of ornaments in
Connection with which Pacific and
far eastern questions will also be dis
cussed, to be held in Washington on
the eleventh day Of November, 1921"
There is no hint OF disarmament"
in any of the negotiations that have
led up to the conference, but prevail
ent has became the use Of the term
that Secretary Hughes in a recent
interview with Washington Newspa
per correspondents, thought it neces-
sary to remind them that the meet
ing was officially known as a "con-
terence on the subject Of limitation OF
armament" and that the use Of the
term disarmament" conveyed whoL-
ly false impression of the objects
which the conference would seek TO
attain.
There is a suspicion in certain
Washington circles that the democrats
are quietly spreading the impression
that the meeting is a disarmament
conference, and trying to make peo-
pie believe that the objects sought by
President Harding are far more ambi-
tiOus than is really the truth. They
think that if the people can be led
to believe that the conference has
been called to bring about disarma-
ment, and it adjourns without accomp-
fishing that result, they will be in q
position to refer to the meeting as q
republican failure. That suspicion is
strengthened by a recent speech Of
William McAdoo in which he referred
to . navyless world, and sought to
convey the impression that the arma-
ments conference might bring about
that very state Of affairs.
1t behooves republicans to be care
ful in choice of words in speaking of
the meeting. They furnish ammuni-
ton for their political enemies by re-
ferring to the parley as a "disarn1a-
ment" conference. They will be strict
ly correct, hold out no false hopes
to the people, and deprive the demo-
Gratis of campaign material for use
next fall by designating the meeting
only as a conference on the subject
Of limitation of armaments."
