Railroad Labor Claim.

II HE Interstate Commerce Commission has de-
cidcd that the railroads have no claim
against the government for labor incffciency"
The case was before the commissioners and, they
like the Supreme Court, the highest in the
lodge" it was up TO them to render a decision, add
it to the records, close the book and all
the time and effort which has been given to its
consideration
AS fact the railroads had already waived these
claims They had abandoned them. Just why is
not known, through what influence, but prob
ably that OF their sober second thought and COM
sense. 1t was part of the settlement of the
claims for and against the government. 1t went in
feature of the request to Congress for ap-
proval of the mutual agreement. So the decision
comes as sort of anti-climax.

Einstein realm of relatively. There is known or

Rights and Liberties.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Since ii is generally conceded that
all may. and all do enjoy, their lib
erty, civil rights. and persuit of
happiness in this land of the free,
why is IL that a certain small ele-
ment Of our society, the negro. has
to be constantly before the public
with complaints about his rights?
One would think him the most
down-trodden creature on earth, 4
facts did not prove the contrary,
and that at present he is enjoying
a position in this country far be-
yond his capacity for appreciation
Of his merits. Helped to his present
position by the whites, without
whose aid he could not possibly
have attained it, he proves the
nobleness and magnanimity of his
nature by a virulent propaganda OF
hatred against his benefactors
Truly an inspiring spectaclei When
the whites get tired of IL, what
then? The Society for the Advance
ment of Colored People II some
what Of a misnOmer. judging from
the magazine referred to in my
previous letter, with the vicious
literature it is spreading over the
country. II is to such causes as
this that much Of the riot and
crime can be traced. Does the
negro expect to advance anywhere
on this propaganda except to iaiI.
where all such instigators Of riots
and crime should be placed? The
writer has recently seen quite a lot
OF this literature OF lies and mis-

When an intelligent. enlightened
people allow such stun as this 10 be
spread broadcast over the country
unchallenged there is something
wrong somewhere. and the sooner
the public awakens to this fact and
stops il the better il will be for the
society At large. The negro's part
in the making Of this country has
been a small one. 1t is infinitesimal
compared to the white mans
burden. borne long and uncomplain-
inGly in behalf Of the negro. and
which. on the face of the present
propaganda Of hatred directed by
them against the whites. leads one
to politely inquire. WAS 1t worth
while?"
As TO taxation. IL has been stated
and doubtless can be proved. that
two-thirds Of the taxation for ne-rA
education in the South has been
paid by the whites, and possibly
this may be true of other sections
All of which seems to prove that
the white mans continued efforts
in behalf Of the negro are not only
entirely unapprecisted. but have
only made him thoroughly dissstis-
hed with himself and surroundings.
We are Of the opinion that the
negro would be happier in his own

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
There has been a good deal pub
lished in the several newspapers
regarding BergdolI, the L. S. army
Stacker, who is now in the land
where his heart lay during the
great world war. Bergdoll was a
slick article, and had money enough
to buy himself out of any difficulty,
and there is not the least doubt thai
he paid big money to grafters to
enable him to get across the big
pond. He should be brought back
and placed before a firing squad
But while We are waiting for his
return. why not look around in
some of the government depart
ments with the firing squad. and
weed out army slackers just as
bad as Bergdoll?
l refer to able-bodied men. who,
through so-called drag with their
chief clerk. could apply for exemp-
ton. as for essential duties, such
as moving ONCE furniture.
The soldier doesn't want fsvors,
but he does want a square deal.
and dislikcs to see the Stacker
(the exempted slacker) holding the
job that rightfully belongs to q

The best bonus that could be
paid to the soldier. sailor or Ma
rine who fought for his country
would be that Congress call on
each and every government de-
partment to furnish the names Of
all men who applied for exemp-
ton and the duties they per-
formed while SO exempted. and
where IL can be shown that the
exemptee did not perform duties
that were essential. and that the
work that he performed was Of
minor Importance, he should be
discharged and those with whom
he had his drag should follow him.
