Let Railroad Workers Take Losses
Too
(From the Charleston, S. c., News
and Courier.)


(From the Charleston. S. c., News
and Courier)
The railroads are now asking that
wages be put back to what they were
prior to July 20. 1920, in other
words. that the increase which was
then granted. based on the increased
cost OF living. then prevalent, shall
be wiped out.
This last increase in railroad
wages was made before anybody in
the South had any idea that a slump
in the price of cotton was about TO
begin. on the day It was granted,
middling cotton sold in South Caro-
lima at AZ cents. Two days later in
New York cotton sold at 43.75. the
highest point 1t reached during the
whole war period. Since then cot
ton has sold for months together as
low as 10 cents. Pretty much every
body in the United States and the
world at large has had to take losses
in one way or another, and no good
reason has been suggested why rail-
road employees should continue to
draw wages fixed when everything
was at the peak.

II the solution proposed by the ex-

ways out. One will be the uNer col

subsidizing of railroad labor, either
through still greater transportation

Country Can't AFFORD a Strike.

lFrom the Cleveland, Ohio, Plain
Dealer.)
The country cannot afford to en-
dure a general railroad strike. The
railroads cannot afford it. The work
ers themselves can afford it least Of
all. Traffic is the lightest in years.
There is considerable unemployed
labor. a fair proportion Of which at
one time or another has been en-
ployed in transportation. In the face
of these conditions, it is han to be-
lieve that the Brotherhood leaders
will match their strength against
that Of the railroads by bringing on
strike. There is another aspect
of the case that needs full consider
alton. Can the demand for reduced
freight rates, in the face Of the pres
ent financial condition Of the roads,
be justified? Is there any good rea-
son why the ore industry that rep
resents the greatest capital invest
ment in the country shoul be made
20 accept rate reductions when pres
mt revenues fail 10 pay a fair re-
turn on investment?

The possibilities OF a strike like that

is almost impossible to believe that

Should Wait for Boards Action.
(From the st. Louis, Mo, Globe
Democrat)

The demand for reduction of
wages must come before the Labor
Board for hearing and decision if the
law is complied with, and If the rail-
road employees strike without wait
ing for the boards action they will
do so in violation of the law, which
requires uninterrupted service as a
condition precedent to a standing be-
fore the board. The government has
made continuity Of service a prin-
ciple of action, and it will be of ne
cessity responsible for the mainte-
nance of continuity. 1t has made
itself responsible for fair wages and

Strikers Can't Count on the Public.

Press.
A strike by the railroad Brother
hood and unions will be a very Sc
rious thing for the United States If
1t is allowed to take place. 1t will be
blow at the returning prosperity Of
the country. and incidentally its re-
coil will injure the strikers fully as
much as it will injure anybody else
The railway men can have no as
surance of support and sympathy
from the nation or even from other
branches of trades unionism. People
at large are not satisfied that trans
portation workers have grievances
justifying extreme action and are
likely to have small patience. With
out sympathy and support of the ma
ton the railroad workers cannot
count on winning a strike.

''Tcnds to Increase Pessimism"

(F'rom the Baltimore. Nd, SUM-
On the very heels of the unem-
ployment conference, the threatened
strike has a morN' as well as a ma
terial significance. It tends to in
crease cynical pessimism and dis
trust at a time when optimism and
faith are needed for reconstruction.
President Hardings idea OF finding
a fair way out through the three
members Of the Labor Board is not
without merit, but the leading mo-
tive behind all efforts at adjustment
should be the desire to arrive al a
settlement on principle of fairness
and justice to all. not merely to pre-
vent immediate trouble by patch

If without going TO the Labor

the country is rushed into a bitter

enough justification for the strikers
to make the debate very hot. 1t

by giving this Labor Board a full

great labor war that will surely do

Reputation of Arbitration Principles
(From the Indianapolis star.)


(From the Indianapolis starr
The attitude of the railway men, a.
expressed in an order calling a gen.

pudiation of principles Of arbitration.
There can be no hope in arbitration
il one side will not stand by the ver-
dict unless it wins. A resort to force
and an attempt at coercing the rail-
ways and infiicting hardships upon
the people in defiance Of the rulings
of Federal arbitrators is almost in
credible. The railway workers are
among the best paid and most intelli-
gent in the country. The public had
