The store operated by these men had been attached by creditors last Janu- ary and placed in the hands of At torncy Clarence w. Bronson of New Haven.

INDEPENDENCE OF ACTION.

Isolation" is a term dear to the heart of the in
ternationalist. He delights to use it for the purpose
of ereating the impression that thl United States
must make a choice between isolation and the League
of Nations. A choice is not necessary.
Not since the Declaration of independence in 1776
has the United States maintained an attitude OF
either theoretical or practical isolation. One of the
first acts of the continental congress was to send rep
resentatives to Europe. France in particular. Since
that day the United States has not only maintained
diplomatic relations with all other nations willing to
maintain relations with us; but took the initiative in
inducing Japan to abandon her former policy of iso-
lation and open both commercial and diplomatic rela.
tons with the other nations of the earth.
There is a vast difference, however, between dcsig-
mating representatives or agents, who are authorized
in a league of nations under the obligations of a
surrender a considerable part of her sovereignty and
subject herself to the decisions of n league council
in which the United States would have a minor voice
with the combined interests of the majority of the
nations adverse to our own.
1t has been made clear enough in public utterances
by Mr.. Harding since assuming the presidency, that
we stand ready now, as we have always stood ready
in the past, to negotiate with other nations, to CO.
operate with them, and to aid in every way in our
power to promote international welfare; but he also
made it equally clear that the United States must be
absolutely free to act in each particular instance upon
its own judgment as to its duty and the wise course
for it to pursue in promoting its own interests and
the interests of the rest of the world.
The vital principle commended for is independence
of action. This we propose to maintain. And we do
maintain it in accepting the invitation to be repre-
scented in the allied conferences.

KEEP THEM U

Dye and chemical producers in the United States,
should" in the opinion of the Iron Trade Review,
unite their efforts for the preservation of their in
dustries through the exclusion of German dyes. A
popular demand is being inspired for legislation which
will prohibit the importation of the German products.
THE German chemical and dye industry is so in
tegrated and ramified that it stands without a peer in
the world today. Great as it was before the war, its
greatness was accentuated during the conflict. I'm
questionably it could in time, seriously demoralizc if
not destroy the chemical industries of the Allies.
Englano's license system permits the importation of
only such dyes and chemicals and in such quantities
as may be required.
1.-THE war forced the United States to intensively
cultivate this industrial field in order to meet the
Germans with their own weapons, high explosives,
chemicals and gases. The end of the conflict found
the United States with this industry stimulated to "a
point where it had become a national trade factor.
To abandon it now would be to leave the field open
to foreign producers. In event of another war this
would be a highly perilous thing to do. The develop
ment of the by-product coke industry in the United
States has placed this country in a position secord to
none in supply of needed raw material.
"But raw materials, equipment, initiative, in
genuity, all will amount to naught if Germany re-
sumes the cut-throat trading tactics she employed be-
fore the war. There is no reason to believe she will
abandon them. The way to safety, apparently, is to
forbid, in the case of dyes and chemicals, their i'm
portation except under license. In drafting the tariff
and in considering a separate peace with Germany
the United States can well afford to build an insur-
mountable wall against these goods"

THE WHY OF RAILROAD COSTS.

In the hearings before the senate committee on in
|terstate commerce., inquring into the railroad situa-
lion and the abnormal costs of operation under the
existing national agreement which compels railroads
to pay for work not performed, ten typical cases have
been selected to illustrate the situation the roads
must face and as reasonable argument why reform
indefinitely. Some of these cases were presented in
the hearing before the labor board earlier in the year
at Chicago, the data is therefore fully verified and is
not even disputed by the brotherhoods. The cases
follow:
l. The Pere Marquette railway was compelled to
pay Se,364 in back pay to four employees because their
titles under these agreement were changed by a de-
cision of the director general, while the nature of
their duties and the volume of their work remained
the same.
2. A car repairer on the Virginian railway was
paid $1,000 for work he never did. He was laid off
with other employees because there was no work for
him to do. When he became entitled under his
seniority rights" to be re-employed, he received back
pay and overtime.
g.. The shop crafts agreement provides that when
employees are required TO check in and out on their
own time they will be paid for one hour extra at the
close.of each week, no matter how few hours they NAV
hays worked. This rule in the first six months of
ls2olcost the railways $500 900, or at the rate of
Sf3, 900, 900 a year.
L. On the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad piece work
car repairers decreased Ala per cent and air brake
~reparers 33.4 per cent in efficiency under a quaran-
tee Of a fixed minimum rate per hour.
.. On the abolition of piece work on the Union Pa
eifie railroad IN the wheel shop at Omaha, Neb. the
, 1921-05-19

time required for the same work was increased s1.s
per cent and the output was cut down "a per cent:
gained was increased 3s.s per cent and the output de-
creased IS per cent
6. An employee of the Southern Pacific Tucson
shops was paid S5o-O5 Tor three days work because
he was sen. 2ls miles 20 repair a gas engine. IS y
hours being punitive overtime, most Of which was
spent in travelling or waiting. As a result of several
emergencies of this kind he was allowed 3T7is hours
IN a 23-day working month, earning $272.16. and a
~pipefitter from the same shop was allowed 3e1 hours
in a 2S-day month, earning S2s1.52, mostly punitive
and double time allowed while travelling, in addition
to his expenses.
z. A conspicuous example of ridiculously high
compensation to unskiied labor is that of q gang of
men on the Southern Pacific who place blue flag sig
mails on trains in yards and who couple and uncouple
steam and air hose. When any of these men were alb
sent, car cleaners were used as substitutes-the elias
sification Of these being changed by the director gen
eral from watehmen with laborers' pay to car men.
and back pay awarded to January 1, 1918. The gang
consisted of 10 men, all unskilled, and they were given
back pay during federal control of sI4,43s.
8. Southern Pacific employees whose sole duty was
to keep watch on stationary engines and to stop the
engine in case anything went wrong, were reelaSsified
by the director general as electrical workers." one
man on the Salt Lake division being given back nay
of S2,3s1, another 5000, another So, 0O9, another
S2,o03, and six others amounts varying from $1,000
to $1,000.
.. Under the present classification rules of the
shop crafts, in order to change a nozzle tip in the
front end of a locomotive, IL is necessary to call a
b~oilermaker and his helper to open the door. because
that is boilermakers work; to call a pipeman and his
helper to remove the blower pipe, because that is
pipemen's work; and to call a machinist and his help
er to remove the tip. because that is maehinists' work
also for the same force to be employed for putting in
the new tip.
10. Men employed to couple and uncouple hose
between the cars mot as difficult or hazardous a task
as hitehing a span Of mules), are now classed as car
men, receiving 80 cents per hour. with time and one
half for Sundays and holidays, averaging about $215
per month, for working Z hours and 4s minutes per
day.
