THE result of the railroad strike, the agree
i ment with the Labor Board and the SUISSE
quent ruling by the board, form sort of climax to
what seems to be transition period in the rea-
tons of employer and employee. The strike order
was recalled because, the leaders put it, they
could not strike against the government. The set
Element prior to the recall was made between the
unions and the board and not with the employers.
Finally the board sends notice that if the
brotherhoods strike they will lose all their present
advantages under the rules which rest upon agree
ments with the railroads This certainly looks like
wholly new deal Instead of any direct negotia-
tons between employees and their employers. all
gotiations must be carried in the future between
them through this third party which represents the
government that is, all the people. 1t is collective
bargaining through government agency
1t removes, the employers and employees one
step farther apart. 1t does not deny the right to
STRIKE but penalties it. 1t does take away the
right of the employers and employees to deal with
each other, but makes such dealing quite improb-
able, side the other is apt to take advan-
tage OF the Boards existence to pass to it what is
known the buck" since every deal means con-
cession from side or the other. In other words
neither side hereafter take advantage of imme-
date conditions to force concession
Neither side can use its power either of or
ganzation or economic and labor conditions in
making changes in agreements rules. They will
be shorn of this engine OF force to compel conces-
sions AS we view it, this does not weaken or
ganized labor. Rather it strengthens it. Labor
must be organized to be adequately represented, or
able to present its case. 1t must be organized
to gather and its evidence. 1t must be organized
to gain recognition and to show that unity and
weight of interest quite essential in any contention.
However, it is not far TO the reason of Mr..
Compers opposition to this situation. If this is a
successful solution of railroad labor relations it
may be extended to the other basic industries. He
takes the other viewpoint that without the strike
club labor is at disadvantage and that resort to
mere public opinion in a case that will convince an
impartial court may be not only slower process,
but is such reversal of form in labor disputes as
to be almost revolutionary.

All Honor to Gen. Jacques.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
, No foreigner who has visited our
shores as the representative of his
people deserves greater homage at
our hands than Gen. Jacques. the
Belgian, for ne people in all history
ever exhibited more heroic self
sacrifice and patriotism than they
in the world war.
They were offered the choice of
material advantage and immunity
from the horrors of war IL they
would but sacrifice their patriotism
and honor by permitting the Ger
mans to attack France through
their country. There was much
upon which they might have justi-
fed their acquiescence In the pro-
posal, but no. They preferred
death. and devastation to dishonor
and the sacrifice of principle. Their
choice and conduct in the war will
live in song and story through all
ages as an Inspiration to the no.
blest and highest instincts. ideals
and aspirations of the human race
All honor and glory to the gen.
eral, and to his people who won the
admiration and encomium Of th1
great Roman. Julius Caesar. and his
testimonial to their prowess and
patriotism.

Urges Government
Apartments.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
While there is so much talk Of
unemployment in Washington /
think 1t a good time for the govern
ment employees to band together
and prevail upon Congress to build
suitable apartments. to be rented at
a reasonable price, in order to fore
stall the plans of the real estate
owners next spring to boost prices
beyond anything yet heard of. On
my refusal to stand for the fourth
increase in my rent for the last four
years, the agent has dropped hint
as to what he will do to me next
spring. The increase asked by this
man would have made my rent
1917.
Now, why not get together and
demand that Congress, in order to
relieve the situation of unemploy-
ment in the city, and at the same
time save the employees from heavy
rentals, build apartments in dir
ferent sections of the city.

HUMAN TICK CARRIES
RELAPsING FEVER

BY human experimentation. tn
human tick has been proven to be
the transmitting agent OF relapsInr
fever in Panama, according 20 In
formation received here.
Three human volunteers risked
their lives by being infected with
the fever after tests on white rats
and monkeys had indicated that the
ticks carried the relapsing fever
spirochaetes from one animal TO an
other.
In the experiments conducted by
Lewis b. Bates. Lawrence II. Dunn.
and doe II. ST. John. OF the Board Of
Heath laboratory and Ancon Hos
pital, in the Canal Zone. one voiun-
teer had injected beneath his skin
some blood from a white rat in
fected with relapsing fever. Into
another Of the patients was injected
hypodermically a suspension of nat
urally infected ticks. while the other
volunteer submitted, to being bitten
by Naturally infected ticks All Of
these men fell III with the fever
and. with the evidence provided by
animal experimentation. this Is con-
ssdered conclusive proof that ths
human tick is the carrier Of the
germ of .relapslng fever.

also as famine fever in the past. as

Rents in this city, according to Colum-
bia landlords. are gradually returning to
normalcy, and it is expected that with
the decrease in rents the enrolment in
the University for the fall term will in
crease accordingly. =
RentsI property in this city took all
unusual increase about 1917 during the
time Of the World War and, from then
until the present time, rental property
has not only been abnormal in price, but
very scarce as well. That rent in Cci-

hard for students in the University tc
secure rooms at low price.

estate men have been unable TO solve

High Rent of Last Three Years
Is Expected to Take a Slump

last three years building has been on a
slump here. Practically no houses have
been built for investment. and very few
for residence purposes. This is due.
it is said, 10 the fact that building ma
terial has been high, and this condition
has been prevalent throughout the Unit
ed States as well as in Columbia.
Real estate men and others hope, how
ever, that building material will decrease
in price during the coming year and
building will again be on the upward
grade.
Due to the fact that Columbia is a
university town. room rent is probably Of
as much importance as house rent. and
the former has been as unusually high,
for three years, as house reni or the
price Of building material.
Because of the high cost Of building
material. the high wages which have
been demanded by servants and the nigh
cost Of food supplies. the landlords in
Columbia have been forced to increase
the room rent. but with the gradual de-
crease Of all these things, rents in Col
umbia are expected to drop back to nor
malcy.
