rHE PUBLIC rs F1Rsr.

There is a marked difference be-
tween the sentiments expressed In the
meeting of Santa Fe shopmen at the
auditorium Thursday night, and the
sentiments voiced at the second wage
hearing before the railroad labor
board in Chicago. as reported in the
dispatches. It is encouraging to note.
however, that while seeming to occupy
a belligerent attitude the shopmen in
dicated a disposition to abide finally
by such decision as may be rendered
by the labor board.
1t is unfortunate that railroad own
ers and railroad employees cannot al
ways agree. 1t is unfortunate that
human beings in general are usually
more concerned over self-interest
than they are over the public welfare.
as it is, there will be differences of
opinion concerning relative rights,
and those differences will lead to dis
putes of a-serious nature. 1t becomes
the duty of the public. then, to guard
its own interests and to protect itself
against injury by the combatants.
It is desirable that exact justice be
done in every case, but this is not al
ways possible. Exact justice may be
done in most cases, and approximate
justice in others. To this end, the
government has established, in the
railroad act, provision for an adjudi-
cation of railroad disputes.-which ad-
Indication may be expected to attain
approximate Justice nearer ap-
proach to justice than will usually re-
suit from strikes and lockouts. Hav-
ing provided that agency for adjudi-
cation. the government, as the repre-
sentative of the public welfare. has a
right to demand that neither the en-
ployer nor-the employe of interstate
railroads shall interrupt interstate
traffic.
F. W. Sargent, counsel for the Chi
cago & Northwestern, showed a COM
mendable spirit, when in addressing
the labor board he said:
Lets pull the country out Of the
situation it faces today. We're anx-
ious to settle controversies for the
benefit OF all.
I'VE have faith in this board. 1t Is
an experiment but believe it is one
of the greatest experiments ever un-
dertaken by civilized government. Sc
far as this road is concerned it vii.
obey every decision of the board, ever
if it takes us into the hands Of the re.

THE DIVIDING LINE.

Much of the disturbance and mis-
understanding between workmen and
employers of labor grows out of the
cord to the other what is justly its
due. Some employers are prone to re-
gard themselves as beneficiaries Of
labor regardless of the fact that with
out it they could not build up a BUSH
ness. Laborers, on the other hand.
have been known to point to a big
and successful enterprise and say that
it was built on the proceeds of their
toll, ignoring the fact that not one Of
them would have taken the risk in
cident to its inception or even shared
the risk with their employer.
Under primitive conditions individ-
uals may possibly live by their per-
sona1 effort alone, but in the compli-
Gated system of our present social or
ganization the capitalist-the man
who has saved part of his earnings
is no less important than the laborer.
1t is capital as well as labor that
transforms twenty-five cents worth of
raw material into thirty dollars worth
of finished product.
| No laborer, no group OF laborers,
could go out with the implements at
the hillside and transform it into n
steel rail which could be sold at a
profit at the price at which steel rails
sell today. At every stage of the
process there is a necessary organiza-
ton, an accumulation of tools and
equipment, means for transporting
and handling the materials in an ex-
tensive way, so that the unit cost OF
lproduction may be relatively small

1t will be an suspicious day for the
general business of the country, says
the Railway Age, when the railroads
financial position improves enough to
enable their purchases and stores de-
partments to resume buying and han
ding fuel, materials and supplies in
normal quantities. When the rail-
ways are financially able to make pur-
chases on the scale required for the
adequate maintenance and develop
ment of their properties they are the
largest market for some of the larz
est industries OF the country, especial
~ those of coal mining, iron and steel
and lumber manufacturing. On the
other hand when, as has been the
case within recent months, it is nee
essary for the railways drastically to
reduce their purchases of all kinds
and practically to suspend buying of
materials and supplies, the adverse
effect produced, upon general business
is tremendous, The return to the rail-
roads of normal purchasing power is
dependent, not alone upon a reduc-
ton of their wage bill. but also upon q
reduction of wages in the industries
which supply the'- needs.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIzABHrH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am q. young
married lady. My husband works
hard at timess but cannot give me a.
home. only a couple of furnished
find house. they are so scarce. and
so I have to put up with what we
have. I am a nervous person and I
worry a good deal.
The other day l met an old friend
of mine whom I. have not seen for
four years. He shook hands with me
and was glad to see me once again.
He asked me If / would like to go
somewhere. said I should like to
step into the show for old times sake.
So we did. I didn't go because loved
him. only went to pass the weary
hours away. He began to tell me how
he used to think of me daily while in
the army, and as he already knew
was married he didn't hesitate in tell
| ing me he cared for me in the same
old way. I told him would not meet
him since I was married, for 1t would
cause separation. He said that II
God wanted. US to be together we
would be. Then we parted.
had almost forgotten him when a
letter came from him, saying I should
meet him the following Saturday eve
ming, or he would be thru with me.
OF course I was not there. That same
evening my husband and I were up
town and to my surprise saw him
on the street. IL shocked me so Ihat
I hardly knew which way to look and
he certainly gave me look which
will never forget My husband saw
! all this and tince has mistrusted me
and accuses me of things that are not
true. may have done wrong, accord
ing to material law, but I meant no
harm by it. l cannot make my hus-
band believe any differently He is
| one of great imagination and of a
i jealous disposition.
! What do you think about a case
like this? SMILES.
/ You made the first mistake by CO.
ling to the theater with your old
| friend. In such a matter you should
consider your husbands feelings
and since he is of a jealous dispo-
sition. you should not run the risk Of
hurting him.
Try to get your husbands point OF
view. Do not blame him for his at.
titude. He is worried probably be-
cause he does not make more mones
and realizes that he is not offering
you enough to keep you contented
Since you have done all you can tt
4 explain your innocence. try to avoid
conversations and arguments about tbs
matter. By love you will be able tc
win back his confidence in you. Faitf
in your husbands ability to succeed
will also help him in business.
