BY HARRY HUNT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Six
hundred million dollars in annual
wages Is the stake for which rail-
way workers have declared to strike
October 80. for the re-establishment
of wage schedules in effect during
the last half of 1920 and the first
six months of 1921.
More than $500, 900, 900, or over
half this sum. already has been or
dered stricken from the rail work.
ers' payroll. This was by the de-
cision of the Railway Labor Board
effective July /. 1921, cutting wage
schedules Of r~ailworkers an average
of about II per cent.
The remainder, ag%gregating about
$3.50, 900, 900, is the further reduction
the railway executives have an
nounced their intention of asking,
even in the face of the strike vote.
In simple terms. the strikers are
demanding the maintenance OF
wage schedules established by the
Rail Board in 1920, while the rail-
road executives are seeking the re-
turn of rail pay TO the basis estab-
lished by the United States Railroad
Administration.
There exists a general feeling that
the strike call is rather for the pur-
pose of frustrating the executives
plans for a further reduction than in
the hope of gaining reconsideration
for the reductions already ordered.

TWO IDEAS OF CIVIL LIBERTY
Difference Between Governments of
Greece ard Rome and Those of
the Gothic Tribes

There was this radical difference be-
tween the governments of Greece and
Rome and those of the Gothic tribes.
In the former the state was every
thing, the Individual nothing; the
state was thought to have a perfect
right to the property, liberty, and
even life, of its citizens. In the-fat-
ter the individual was everything and
the state comparatively nothing; all
rights were thought to exist, to inhere
by nature in The individual; and the
state could demand nothing from him
for public use without giving him an
equivalent. Here we find the funda-
mental principle of civil liberty; that
principle which has been carefully
guarded in the English and in all the
Ang1O-American constitutions, and
which was SO happily and tersely eX-
pressed by jefferson in the Declare ton
of Independence Our rude Saxon an
ceStorS though under a kingly govern
ment, had more real liberty, and a
more just appreciation Of the true dig
nifty of man, than had the polished cit
liens of the republics of the Mediter-
ranean- The legislative authority was
vested in the witens- ge-mote, or assem-
bly, of wise men.-Dexter a. Hawkins.
