A general railroad strike would
have to reckon with a great national
resource which did not exist in the
days Of other extensive railroad
strikes.
There are ten million reasons why
the public could hold out almost in
definitely against the strike. These
are the ten million motor cars which
the United States has. Every region
able to get gasolene and oil could
fight strike with automobiles. And
the oil from which gasolene and
lubricants are made is largely piped

roads. Besides. there is great sup

The public thinks-and rightly

Of food and fuel. What can we eat
and what can we burn after the re-

rolls go up from less than a billion
and a half Of dollars in 1916 to ap-
proximately billion and three quar-
ters of dollars under the Adamson
act in 1917; then to more than two
and a half billions of dollars in
1918; then to more than two and
three quarters billions of dollars in
1919, and then in 1920 to the rate
in round numbers Of four billions of
dollars a year.
This stupendous total has had
some shrinkage, partly because OF
fewer men employed and in a small
degree through a pairing down of
wages.
The American public has seen the
country's industry and business
staggering under the excessive trans
portation charges continued to pay
the excessive transportation pay
rolls. Il has seen its own income
come down under the economic read
justment from war imitation heights.
1t has seen the general cost Of iv-
ing come down.
In this situation the issue is
whether the one hundred millions OF
American citizens not employed on
the railroads will stand the threat
ened strangulauon by the two mil
lions employed on the railroads.

THE railroad executives can set

government can prevent a strike"
says Warren S. Stone. chief of the

the strike by capitulating; the gov
ernment by taking over the rail-
roads. Otherwise prepare for fam

IT IS remarked truly that cannot hope forever to

Nobody expects IT, But the Republicans do expect to

years named other industries greatly
prospered and accumulated sur
pluses against times OF adversely.
But with railroad income dried to
the vanishing point, Mr.. Stone holds
that the railroads can be squeezed
more. His proper business. is not
.railroading. but extracting blood
from turnips.
The public. which OF necessity
would pay if the railroad executives
should capitulate, would pay. and
nav more, should the choice fall on
public ownership. Individuals with
personal earnings dependent on per-
sonal labors are industrious, pro-
ductive and economical; public
administration. with personal earn
ings not dependent on Treasury
raiding, is wasteful and runs the
taxpayers into debt. When a politi-
cal group exploits a uuiltyf-lts
profit is at the expense Of consum-
ers; il there is deficit it is at the
expense of the taxpayen In either
event a minority is favored TO
the robbery of the majority.
Should there be public ownership
OF railroads. as soon as the skill ana
capacity developed under private
ownership disappear with time the
cost OF railroad service probably
would double. Conditions under
public ownership would be even
worse than with the present rail-
road wage scale perpetuated and
the law making 1t a capital onense
to disturb it.
The alternatives OF Mr.. Stone thus
are in the direction Of return 10
the Stone Age. when title to prop
erty was derived from the weight
of a club and an ability to WELD II
The selection of either option would
be so unmRed a calamity that II
the end railroad employees would

Mrs. Margaret Krauss Tells
How Plant Juice Restored
Mothers Health
SAYS PLANT JUICE
is so WONDERFUL

'T want to tell everyone what a
great blessing Plant Juice proved 10
be in my mothers case" said Mrs.
Margaret Krauss, a well-known and
popular lady residing at No. AZ
Avery avenue. PENIS Grove. n. J., in
a recent conversation at the Miller
Drug Store, 404-4O6 Market street.
Continuing, Mrs. Krauss stated:
MY mother is ~ years Of age
and subject to numerous ills OF that
time Of life. She had no appetite
for her meals and the little she
could eat would cause her to have
gas and a bloated condition with
great pain--in fact she had such at
tacks at times that she thought
she was going to die. She had an
operation for appendicitis some
years ago and since that time was
very weak and never had any ambi-
tion or energy to do anything; she
had great trouble with her liver and
bowels, being always constipated;
she had headaches, pains through
her limbs and was very irritable and
depressed; she got very little sleep
at night Although she had taken
many medicines she never got any
thing to relieve these troubles until
some of our neighbors begged her
to try Plant Juice and told her how
wonderful it had been in their cases.
Ny mother found it to be all they
had claimed, for now her appetite
is fine; she can eat anything and
never has any distress afterwards
or bloating; her liver and kidneys
are working properly and she is
never constipated any more; she
sleeps like a child. She is so con-
tented and happy now since she has
taken Plant Juice that it is a pleas
ure to see her. Plant Juice is GER
tainly a wonderful medicine for old
people and we are glad to endorse
IL and recommend II " our friends"
