ONCE7RACKHAND.
GOVERNOR rs NOV
B. e O. DIRECTOR

BALTIMORE, January Thirty
six years ago the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad had in its employ
on the Romney branch, in West
Virginia, seventeen year old
boy, who worked with a pick as
a track hand for 30 cents a day.
The management in those days
liked him. for even as a track
hand he did his work well and
gave promise of doing big things.
AS matter of fact the company
thought so much of him that after
an interval of many years it again
sought his services, not as a track
hand, but as member of its board
of directors.
His name is John ]. Cornwell.
who will become actively iden-
titled with the railroad which en-
ployed him as a track hand in
1884 as. member Of the board
upon the expiration of his term
as Governor Of West Virginia.
Gov. Cornwelrs election as a direc-
tor was announced after. the an
nual meeting here last month, but
few employees of the road knew
that West Virginia's governor was
once a Baltimore and Ohio man,
and that he worked in the humble
capacity OF q track hand.
In his boyhood days Gov. Corn,
well spent some time on farm
and did odd jobs for his neighbors
when there was nothing to do at
his home place. When tho Balti-
more and Ohio completed its Rom
ney branch, in 1884. young Corn
well decided to try railroad work,
SO he applied for position. and
was assigned to a track-hand
gang. He received 80 cents for
every day he worked. and he
brought his lunch in tin box
to and, from his home. A year
or so after that no drifted out Of

Kansas Industrial Court Likely to Meet
Future Opposition, Chiefly From Capital

has required the companies to make
monthly reports of their operations.
An order was also issued which re-
quires the mills to keep their skilled
and experienced men on their pay
roll even under decreased production.
It Is revolution in the annals Of
industry. It is the elimination Of
centuries of class strife. Laws have
been enacted to oppose the working
class and laws to curtail the powers
of kings and presidents. Now the
Kansas court undertakes to cross this
chasm and call a truce.
Under Constant Fire.
If the members of the court were
paid a salary in keeping with the grief
connected with the courts functions.
they would be the highest paid men in
Kansas today. If they raise rate
they are occused of connivar,ce with
the corporation interests. If they
raise a wage they are charged with
a political appeal to the public. It
is probable that no fairer minded man
nor more capable lawyer can be found
in Kansas than w. L. Higgins, the
presiding judge of the court, yet he
has been made the butt Of the most
scathing newspaper articles over GER
tain decisions Of the court in which
he took a prominent part. Judge Clyde
Reed was formerly the governors
private secretary and his appointment
to the court has been branded as a
political move by his enemies despite
the fact that he is one Of the shrewd-
est men in Kansas and a genius with
figures. Judge Wark, the junior MEM
Der. led q machine gun company through
the Argonne, woods and suffered fewer
casualties than he has endured as the
junior member Of the industrial tri-
bunal. Although his appointment was
the most popular one Of the three.
somebody has been knitting the junior
judge since the day he took his oath
Of Office.
Mr. Gompers' Mistake.
Samuel Gompers has criticised the
action Of the court in the rnillers' case
| under the impression that the state
was again "brow-beating" the poor
workingman. But Mr.. Gompers is
mistaken. No argument he can use
against the labor tribunal has any
thing like the. undercut that capital
itself will deliver to ward off such
interference with its affairs as this
mill order means If its constitution
atty Is upheld by the courts Of the
country.
If Mr.. Gompers will take the time
to look over the situation he will soon
discover how much bitterer the fight
will be on the court he has fought
than any attack that could be framed
by the man in the working class.

Divided on basis of the number OF

court has cost. the state s119 in round
numbers.
~ severest Test Ahead.
All three members Of the court
admit frankly that the real fight for
life to be made by the new Kansas
tribunal will be when it finally dawns
upon capital that the law will really
function to regulate employers as
well as employees. The court and
those active in creating and support
ing it have been optimistic Of results
regarding labor support. The pro-
lection of Industrial workmen from
strikes and their damage to their
own devotees was bound soon or late
to make itself followers among
rational classes. But the regulation
of capital is quite another thing.
When capital finds itself handicapped
by the necessity of making onerous
reports and su bstantial showing of
business operations. then all Of the
influence and power of money that
capital can command will be thrown
into the issue.
Even the fair-minded capitalist has
small relish for a finger of Justice
upon the pulse of his business. Cap
ital is in it foE what can be made
out of it. Any regulation of what is
a proper maximum limit will be OBJ
jected to upon the ground that the
law cannot regulate the minimum.
While the law does regulate in a
measure the rates Of public utilities.
there is no recompense when returns
fall below a paying basis. The cap
italist figures he takes this chance
and is entitled to full measure when
the cards fall his way.
Miiler's Case n Precedent.
The first case before the Kansas
court which illustrates the power of
the new s;s, law from a business
managers standpoint is the order
made in the complaint against the
Kansas miIlers. Upon complaint of
the employees that the mills had shut
down operations and were throwing
men out of work. the court cited NIL
lers from various parts of the state
to testify in their own behalf. In
other words. capital was obliged "a
prove itself mot guilty" in the matter
Of stopping production in restraint Of
trade. The millers proved that lack
Of orders was the cause OF their re-
ductnD active oDeratfons from % IN
IL hours a day. They showed that
elevators were stored to capacity
that there was no shortage of -four
in Kansas. In fact. the evidence ex-
onerated the pnillers from blame az
to the manner in which they con-
Quoted their business. But they were
obliged to prove 1t.

amply borne out in the world war
just concluded.
I Argument Against Disarmament.
The argument has been made time
and again by opponents of disarma-
ment that only through the mainte-
nance of considerable armed forces
would peace be possible. The course
adopted by Germany in 1914, and the
years prior to and following that date.
seems to give the lie to that state
ment.
The men who are advancing the
proposal of a limitation of ornaments
today in the Senate of. the United
States are not blind to cold, hard
facts. They do not believe that the
or in the future. certainly not the
near. future But they do feel that
something may be done to stop the
huge expenditures of money for arma-
ments at a time when the money Is
needed for many other things. They
believe that it is the sacred duty of
nation to protect itself against de-

that nation must not overlook this.
They do not propose that the United
States or any of the other powers
shall lay themselves open to attack as
China, for instance, has done.
Resolution Before Senate Committee.
Two resolutions looking to reduc-
ton of armament are before the Sen
ate foreign relations committee. and
that committee is scheduled to meet
tomorrow to consider at least one Of
them. That one is the Borah reso-
luton, proposing so per cent de-
crease in the naval programs of the
United States. Great Britain and
Japan during the next five years.
They are the only great naval powers
today. Senator Borah believes that
this is q step which these nations
can take If they are in good faith
about protestations for peace.
Senator Walsh of Montana, demo-
crat, is~the author Of the other reso-
luton. which calls upon the Presi-
dent to appoint representatives of
the United States to act with COM
mission of the league Of nations on
the disarmament question. 1t will
got nowhere. because OF the Iact tnat
1t proposes that the United states
deal with the league incidentally. 1t
appears that the league meeting IN

BY N. O. MESSENGER.

ERE it is 1921 and the Congress and
Associated functions of what Is termed
the government fairly launched upon
Il year which all in authority vision as
being fraught with more than ordinary prob
lens. perils and responsibilities. 1t Is in no
timorous spirit. however, do those who occupy
the seats Of the mighty view the perplexitiee
ahead of them. They will proceed to tackle
the questions with confidence that great as they
be, the country is greater. and that everything
will be settled in due course.
There men in the present Congress who
recall the magnitude of the reconstruction tasks
which faced the nation at the close of the civil
war troubles which seemed insuperable at the
time. and yet which yielded to the genius and
courage of the American people. There are
others who remember the financial panics of
1873. the industrial depression Of 1898. and the
happy outcome of all the grave perils which
then menaced These men, and others who
think with them. feel no discouragement now.
and nobody is going to cash in and quit be-
cause the cards are running adversely, but stay
in the game and play the hand out.
Taking up foreign affairs first. it is pretty
well established to the satisfaction of leading
statesmen in Washington that the league of
nations. now functioning, will not be Joined
by the United States. What that leagues fu-
ture will be is only conjectural. but the opin-
ion is that, lacking the sustenance to be afforded
by the membership of this country, 1t will die
of inanitien.
President-elect Harding, according to all
authentic reports brought to Washington, will
propose, as an alternative to membership in the
existing league the concurrence. Of the United
States in association Of nations TO accom-
plish the object of the league in which the
American people NEST interested-preven-
ton of future world wars. 1t has been demon
strated beyond cavil that the Americans
concerned, to a negligible degree. In what might
be called the by-products of the league, the
settlement of European boundaries and squab-
bles arising over commercial jealouses of over
seas countries.
Next to the prime Importance of maintain
ing American independence of action. especially
in questions deemed here to be domestic, the
secondary consideration has been held to be e.
fusal to lend the authority of this country to
the settlement Of suck questions. Deep In the
hearts of the people, however. is recognized
existing fervent wish to come to an .1nterna-'
tionAl agreement to prevent understanding
wars. based on their belief that common sense
of the peoples Of the earth recognizes the pos
sibility Of such agreement.
An alternative to the proposal of general
treaty IS now being pressed by that group Of
statesmen In Congress and thinkers outside OF
Congress who have .deep.seated suspicion OF
this country might bind Itself. They are afraid
of possible "tokers" in whatever treaty might
be drawn. which somehow or other might de-
tases it draws from its geographical seclusion.
