NO TIME FOR REVENGE.

In responsible financial and industrial!
circles deep qualification is felt over
the Railway Labor Board abrogation
Of the national agreements wrung from
the roads while they were in the ha-ds
of Mr.. McAdoo.
Public sentiment clearly has turned
against arbitrary demands Of labor.
Professional labor leaders are more full
Of fight than are their followers. This
was demonstrated afresh in Britain,
when at the eleventh hour the great
majority Of workers whose leaders had
proclaimed that strike would be
called, refused to throw down their
tools.
The whole movement is entirely log.
ical. Perhaps, however, one word Of
warning should be added for the benefit
Of those employers who are itching to
"get square with labor
This is no time for anything SAVIOR,
ing of revenge, but for hroad,gauge
considerate action. Remember, condi-
tions will again arise when there will
be more jobs than workers.

LABOR'S REPLY TO SCHWAB.

The American worker must reduce
his standard Of living to the German
level. That was the brutal demand
that Charles NJ. Schwab presented to
the members Of the New York Chamber
OF Commerce on his return from Europe,
The way to restore prosperity, he said,
was to cut wages.
SchWab did not say anything like
that during war times when, as head
Of the Emergency Fleet Corporation,
he appealed to tho workers to speed
up production and invest in Liberty
bonds, while at the same time he per
mitted his own company to gougc the
government for hundreds of millions
of dollars.
On the contrary he urged labor to
"Givo until it hurts'' in order that
"the world may be better place in
which to ive!''
Labor gave without stint. Labor won
the war in spite of the laundering and
plundering of the Schwabs. Labor is
entitled to some Of the fruits of vic.
tory, and "by the eternals" it will
have them or know the reason WHY.

REFORM OR GET OUT.

Unless railroad managers and rail-
road bankers quit fighting railroad EN-
ployes and get down to the business
of operating the roads in the interest
Of the public and real investors, it will
be- necessary, very soon, for the gov.
ernment to take over and operate the
roads.
This was the view expressed by john
J. Pulleyn, president Of the Emigrant
Industrial Savings Bank of New York,
and chairman Of the Bankers Railroad
Securities committee, in an address at
Philadelphia, before the National Con.
ference Of Mutual Savings Banks of
the United States.
"The Esch. Cummins act is specific in
what the railroads were to do,'' he
said. "There were no national agree"
ments in law to annul or to abrogate.
The Cummins-Esch act provided that
six months after the railroads were
returned the railroads would operate
under those agreements. It was spe-
cific in stating that each railroad should
take up with its own men the question
Of working conditions and wages. II
could do it direct, through boards or
committees, or in any way it saw fl.
Why, then, was not this done? Do
you not feel that the only way to pro-
coed is the proper way?
'The men who operate railroad
trains, the man who rides i'll the engine
cab, the conductor who takes your
ticket-~I think you will agree with
me there are no higher types of cm-
ployes in the world. The employees Of
the railroads are entitled to be heard.
"There has to be a change in exist
ing methods, The methods of meeting
present conditions on the part of the
railroads has not been a success. -
The speaker pointed out that while
stockholders and bondholders had in.
tcrests in common, the bondholders had
prior lien on the properties, but with
out voting power, and "that lien will
be subjected to great loss if the rail
roads are not shortly placed in posi-
ton to enable them to earn sufficient
money to protect their bonds''
That speech is t'voice Of warning'
to railroad managers and railroad bank,
ers. 1t broadly hints that they should
reform or get out. If they do not sooner
or later they will be pushed off the
boards.

organizations without contributing any
material assistance to the miners.'
When Secretary Hodges offer was
rejected by his associates, he handed
his resignation to them, but it was
not accepted.
Behind this outward reason for the
triple alliance collapse, however, ap'
pears determination Of workers to
have voice in the merits Of the cues.
ton rather than make sacrifice a. tho
word Of one Of their allies. This was
the case with federation Of cotton
workers, which recently dissolved. Ono
labor paper presents this reason why
plan that gives all the power to ono
ally will fail:
"To our mind, it seems impossible
to realize a high power of solidarity
between trade unions under agreements
whereby the sole power of determining
or continuing dispute, or even Of
continuing or resuming negotiations, is
the prerogative Of the, executive Of one
of the allied unions. Such an alliance
is undemoeratic in its methods, and will
always break down under pressure The
conditions under which the dispute were
probably responsible to some extent for
the breakdown, and it is evident that
some other and more complete form of
organization will require to be achieved
before it is possible to WELD such power
as was attempted in this miners dis
pute.''

ARE WE "PEsTIFERous"?

President Harding told the bankers
Of Washington the other night that he
believed "the governments should put
an end to it's pestiferous interference
with righteous, legitimate business -
That statement made great hit with
the. five hundred business men gath,
cred around the banquet table.
Controller of the Currency Crissiuger
followed the President. He said the
law of supply and demand "is as deal
an Now England sailed mackerel. -
THAT there is now no proper rela
tion between production cost and con.
sumers' cost is constantly Proved"
said Mr.. Crissinger. "a farmer took
90 calf skins to town and received for
them the price of pair of shoes at
1880 and cash balance of $1.o0.
"The farmer sells his fatted sheen
at cents per pound, but you pay $3.50
at good hotel for one English mutton
chop weighing about six ounces.
II know of retailer who Dough,
flannels at a. cents yard and sold
them at 60 eents-a reasonable profit.
But later on he bought the same flan-
nels at 20 cents. What did he dos H.
put on a sale offering these nanne!s
at. so cents the yard
ION the first transaction he had i
margin Of 43 per cent, but on tho latter,
made with the pretense that he was
giving customers the benefit of great
slash in prices, he had the unconscion.
able profit of 100 per cent?
No right thinking man wants the
government to interfere with fright.
eous, legitimate business.'' But tho
people Of this country want their pub
lie officials to indulge in all kinds Of
"pestiferous interference' with the
kind of business described by the con.
troller.

BOOSTING THE DOLLARS WAGES.

"Increase the wages of the dollar,
decrease the wages of the man. That
is the shibboleth Of the interests ir
control of the railroads Of the United
States.
The House Of Morgan is leading the
fight to cut the wages Of railroad EN-.
ployes and to wipe out the agreements
which insure decent working conditions.
At the same time the House of Nor
gan is busily boosting the wages oe
the dollar, while engaged in the very
lucrative business Of refunding thu
bonded debt Of some of the great rail
road systems.
Through it's control of banks and
trust companies, it has just marketed
$230,0o0,0oO of Great Northern. North.
ern Pacific 6H per cent bonds.
These bonds are now drawing per
cent, and therefore in this instance
the wages Of tho dollar are to be in
creased 621s per cent.
But that is not the worst of it. The
House Of Morgan has padded the dollar
payroll.
While the people, through freight
and passenger rates, will pay 614 cents
a year on all Of these $3.50, 100000, only
about 210,O0o,000 Of the dollars will
be actually at work.
The House Of Morgan and it's allies
paid only 80 or 81 for the bonds, which
were offered to the public at 961s
cents on the dollar. Morgan cleaned
up about $14,oO0,00o on the trausac.
ton.
Two hundred and thirty million dol.
lars at per cent made the total pay.
roll Of this army of dollars SO, coo, 900
year.
Now the people viii! pay $14,950,oo0
a year for $2looo0,000.
III other words, the dollars payroll
has been increased $5,75o,0oo a year,
but the number of dollars has been
reduced by 20,o00,o0o.
And this is no temporary arrange
ment. These Morgan dollars have been
hired for Is years and their increased
wages have been guaranteed for that
period.
This is the kind of financial manage.
ment which has brought American
railroads to the edge of bankruptcy.

MERCHANT MARINE

The American people have invested
$4,00o0o0,0o0 in a merchant marine.
What shall we do with itg
The ships were built to win the war.
They are needed to carry the products
Of this country to every corner of the
globe in order that we may win tho
equally important victories Of peace.
The same selfish interests which aec
exploiting our railroads, our water
power, our banking system, our coal
mines and all the other resources Of
the nation are reaching out for the most
desirable part of our merchant marine.
They and their paid champions in
the press aud in congress are shouting:
"Junk the Shipping Board! Shell tho
ships at any price! Government owner
ship is a failure!''
President Harding is being urged to
appoint new shipping board made up
Of men who favor this destructive pol
icy. If he yields, the ships which cost
the American people almost as much
as the great Civil War will be sold
for a song and those that are not sold
will be permitted to rot at the wharvcs
or taken out to sea and sunk.
Then the international shipping trust
will DO in undisputed control of the
seas and may levy toll On American
commerce for all time. The only rival
it fears will have been eliminated,
This will be followed by an attack on
the La Toilette seaman S law-the sal
ors' emancipation proclamation. The
trust wants cheap seamen as we'll as
cheap ships.
The President IS duty is very clear.
He should put on the shipping board
men of experience in maritime matters
who are devoted to the people IS inter
ests. He should state definitely that
there will be no "bargain sale' of the
ships in which the American people
invested their hard-earned savings.
1t is not true that government oper.
alton has been a failure Men like
Schwab who wanted to discredit gov
ernment operation were placed in a
position to dictate the policies Of tie
shipping board, and the record showa
they took advantage of their oppor,
tunitics.
Despite all they did, however, tha
ships made money until the great slump
in world trade. There is every reason
to believe the depression is temporary
and with return Of normal conditions,
honest managers can make America =
merchant marine one of the nation s
most valuable assets.

NATIONAL HOSPITAL DAY,

This is the anniversary of Florence
Nightingale birth in 1920, and has
been designated as National Hospital
day.
Florence Nightingale was the great
est nurse who ever lived. Largely due
to her efforts, nursing was organized
into a definite and honorable occupa.
ton for women.
At the time of the Crimean war there
was no such thing as Red Cross or a
systematic cure Of wounded soldiers,
and Florence Nightingale won a place
in history by organizing hospital ser
vice Oh the battlefield.
Hospital day is not a "tag day. nor
any sort of drive on your pocketbook.
1t IS merely day on which hospitals
invite you to drop in and learn the
wonders Of modern hospital work,
The hospital is one of the finest insti,
tutions that our civilization has pro-
duced. The service is vaster than you
imagine. Arizona, with many tubercu-
losis patients, has a hospital bed for
every n people i'll the state. That's
the highest rate. Mississippi ranks
last, with hospital bed for every l,222
people.
Ohio, normal in health and hospital
development, has hospital bed for
every 162 residents. This probably il.
Illustrates the average Importance OF
hospital service in American communi.
ties-~that at all times one in every
l62 persons may receive hospital treat.

been found to be. without food or ade-

Miss Elizabeth Boswell, secretary of
organized charities at Meriden, says
that in scores of homes small children
have lived since Christmas on bread
and coffee.
Little children crying for food, their
parents and older brothers and sisters
unemployed and hungry, is the pathetic
problem that charity workers in New
Haven, Danbury and industrial towns
are endeavoring to meet to the best Of
their ability. And this happens not in
China or. the Near East, but in the
United States, caused by brutal rapac.
ity and greed, and desire to crush
the spirit Of labor.
