THE public has not forgotten how
the Adamson act was passed by
congress when, in the face of a world
enemy threatening to overwhelm civ
ilization, the unions literally held up
the country and enforced Their de-
mands Then it was question of
surrender to the unions or to Ger
many, and. of course, there was only
one answer. The unions at that time
were willing to accept the dictates Of
congress which were in their favor;
now it will be difficult for the public
which grinned and bore it then, to
distinguish a difference and be able
to understand why the similar gov
ernmental authority should not be
accepted by the unions when it's rul-
ihgs are in the opposite direction
with the changing of the times.

THE question of railroad rates does
not enter at this time. That is a
question entirely separate, to be de-
termined by the Interstate~Gommerce
commission on its own merits and in
its own time. We believe rates should
and must be materially lowered But
the point we are making that the
unons, by defying lawfully consti-
tinted authority, are alternating public
sympathy, particularly after they
have been the recipients of advantage
after advantage during the war
through the power of their organiYa-
til II. The leaders of the great brnth-
erhoods which are now ordered to
Srikg. themselves virtually admit. Il
that the ordered wage cuts were not
unjustified when they announced,
previously to the second wage cut APP
that, they would make every effort
to avert walkout of the men and
that they were certain there would
be none.
If the unions persist in striking
against constituted authority, on the
pretext of an application of wage
cuts by their employers, which wage
cuts cannot be made effective until
ordered by the Labor board after
hearing, they will be taking a step
which without doubt will iniure ir-
reparably the cause of union labor in
this country cause which already
has suffered many a setback because
Of unwise, unjust and unlawful ac-
ton.
May not railroad labor yet let law
and reason rule, instead of the law
of right makes right" the law that
ruined Germany? Rather, let them
adopt the rule that right makes
might.
The American people are just
when they know all the facts. But
they also, believe in their democratic
~ sCions, and they will insist upon
!, acceptance of the verdict of the
.emocratic court sitting for it IN dis

ED RIAL.

THE Times-Recorder has not in the
present railroad labor contro-
versy expressed leaning toward one
side or the other. 1t does not at
this time attempt to say that the
wages flabor should remain up or
come down. That is matter that
could be determined with a certainty
only by an impartial hearing Of all
the facts involved. But the Times
Recorder will say that the railroad
unions in their determination and
order to strike, are acting illegally
and ae putting themselves on the de-
fensive in puhc opinion.
Wsay this because the strike has
been called colely against acceptance
of the ruling of the governments
Railroad Labor Board, the agency
set up by congress to decide matters
of railroad wages and working con-
ditions. In this labor is in clear de-
fance of the government board,
Were it true that the strike has been
called, as has been alleged, because
of the application of the railroads
for second ccut in wages, the posi-
ton of the unions would be all the
more indefensible, because no such
application has been entertained by
the board, much less granted, and
could have no effect upon the unions
until granted and ordered into effect.
Therefore, it is plain that the
strike has been employed as a meas
ure of force to defeat the verdict of
the court set up by law to render
judgments in just such disputes, and
with such action the general public,
we believe, will have little patience,
since it will be the public which vii
have to suffer greater degree n
the aggregate than it will be posi-
bic for the parties to the dispute to
suffer.

The old horse dealer was under
going discrimination by his
grandchildren. He has long since
given up his business as the motors
have crowded out the horse in most
activities-but the children love 10
hear him tell Of his adventures
when he was in the stirring world.
and he likes to be the center OF at
traction where the children are
concerned, and especially when he
can talk about horses.
On a day in summer, while the
children climbed upon his chair and
asked ham for stories, Fred-who
sat on the steps of the porch near
Grandfather's chair-asked the
question which brought up the as
sembly all standing.
"Grandfather." said ne, did you
ever make out a horse better than
he was just 10 sell him -
Fred had just been a listening
delegate at a meeting Of young men
in a garage, and had heard of the
jockeying OF used automobiles in aid
of their sale AS the argument in the
garage had grown warmer Jack.
the young son Of the house, had said
with great emphasis that the auto
mobile pretences were nothing com
pared with the Old-time practice
when horse dealing and horse trad
ing were part of every mans expert
ence. Then followed tales of certain
| horse trades of which the fathers
could tell and did tell. 1t seems. and
Fred listened with all his ears.
