Industrial Peace.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company and its
employees are entitled to equal praise for their
action in organizing to settle disputes by mutual
agreement. This is one of the most hopeful
auguries for the year in the great field of
industrial relations.
The plan includes all the operating forces of
the system. 1t establishes a series of committees
starting with those of the various divisions The
system is then divided into four regions with
committee for each
The hnal organization is the Joint Reviewing
Committee Of the Pennsylvania Railroad System"
There is an agreement for appeal where the local
or regional committees fail to agree, making a sys-
tenn similar to the courts of State.
The management and the employees have equal
representation each committee A decision re-
quires two-thirds vote, that in dispute either
side must win the votes of half of the other
members.
This requirement is important as it would re-
quire decided preponderance of evidence or of
argument, of fact and justice on one side leaving
little room for further complaint
But the most significant feature is the agree
ment itself. 1t is that the great railroad orders
OF the largest railroad system in the world have
become convinced that for their own interest as
well as that OF the employing corporation and the
public, every agency of agreement must be ex-
hausted before strike is called
On the other side, 1t is an abandonment by
the company management Of any attitude of aloof-
ness from the men, an admission Of common inter
est and responsibility and that the old theory that
a corporation must run its own business" without
interference from its employees, or any call to
answer them, is Of the dead past.
The right to strike is not surrendered, but it
becomes, like many other so-caed natural rights
something to be maintained nviolatc, but not to be
used In the final equation both sides must de-
pend on just two resources
One is the sense of justice of those mutually
interested in maintaining great property. In this
seH-lnterest opens the windows of common sense
and fairness through which it may see beyond the
narrow immediate issue, and weigh it with all
related conditions.
The other is public opinion on which in all
larger propositions both sides must depend for
an ultimate decision. The evidence and arguments
submitted to the committees can have the utmost
publicity, and will have in any serious disagree
ment
The underlying spirit of this plan, its mutual
surrender of any sembance of hostility, its recos-
milton OF mutual responsibility and common ground
is fine example of the modern view of industrial
relations. 1t is example of living together in
harmony in the same house

"yASRlNGTON, as the National Capital,
: v. should be the intellectual center of the
United States. To that end, in addition
TO what is already to be found here, there should
be an archives building and a research university.
= The Herald agrees with this statement of
Representative Fess, Chairman of the House Com
mittee Education. But while Mr.. Fess advo-
Gates this superstructure OF education, he fails to
trealize that the foundation for it is lacking.
@ That foundation is, or should be, the finest,
most complete and resutfu system Of public edu-
cation to be found in the United States, The use
OF an archives building and of research univer-
sity depends primarily upon the perfection of the
national system Of education.
The time has long past when colleges and
universities first The practice now is to pro-
vide first the feeders for these higher institutions
of learning; to create the demand through per-
feeting the elementary public schools.
~ Even in these schools, every educator agrees
that primary attention should be given to the
elementary grades. This has the double purpose
OF giving the most possible that is both useful
and cultural to those who go no farther, and
. to give the incentive to all who possibly can to
Jake at least the high school courses
To this end has come the junior high school,
in Swhich young people may discover themselves,
adjust themselves vocatonaly, develop their right
place in the world OF endeavor and gain the desire
70 go educationally until fully equipped.
n our judgment the committee which Mr.. Fess
heads skeuld first of all make the public schools
-es Esseington the model for all schools OF the
I-ited Skates L is such a model education
aatonaIly considsred that is needed far more than
an zrrhves building or a research university
1t IS = fAef that Gity N this country has
such model Yet It is what all educators most
desire 1t is the most essential remaining need
in national education Il would be for the millions
and not for the hundreds
AS it is, educators go to city for certain
features in a model educational system, and to
smother for another feature. There is no city to
winch they can go and find them all. There is
none where they find manual training art,
music, physical culture, Fairgrounds and sports
: all in their right place and properly correlated
with class work and cultural courses
There is nowhere to be found complete or
near complete correlation of the various subjects
covered by the OF study. There is nowhere
model of study in actual operation,
demonstrated by doing.
The Herald would submit to Mr.. Fess and
his committee that the first and highest good
they can do is to provide this, here in Wash
ington. Certainly the Committee on Education
. should not overlook the schools of the National
Capital.

A Three-Power Job.

If Congress INDUCES in an intermnabIe de-
bate over disarmament it will but add the cost of
its time to the cost of ships Debate is one thing:
dispute is another.
Intelligent discussion is always welcomed by
an intelligent public; fussing ways to reach
a desired end does not meet with like approval
Public opinion as to disarmament is very we'll
settled Congress should not disappoint it.
Great Britain and Japan have both expr.ss,d
their willingness to radically reduce their naval
programs, in harmony with the United States II
there IS to be result, this willingness should be
put into concrete form. 1t should be challenged.
1t is not necessary to complicate the propo-
sition by including France and Italy or any other
countries. None of them has navy comparable to
that of any of the three great naval powers
None Of them has an ambitious naval pro-
gram, If indeed they have any that is definite or
Of a size to be seriously considered The seas
controlled by the three. All rivalry in that con-
troll can only be between these three
What they do is conclusive as to all the rest
Congress can fix the policy for the United States
but not for Great Britain Japan save that if
our policy is for naval expansion the others will
follow, much is assured.
If it is for naval reduction, it is quite probable
they will follow also as to this, even without
specific agreement Their national finances and
public demand would quite Certainly compel such
action
But if Congress will but act for three-power
conference and agreement while showing good
faith by abandoning "the greatest navy in the
world policy, it will have overwhelming approval
Talking a public demand to death, or amending
it to death belong to the dark ages of American
politics.
Senator Borah's plan is simple, practical and
sufficient. 1t does not need amendment, nor broad
ening. 1t expresses the public demand If de-
cision upon it is merely avoided, the public will
understand why.

Hatred the Smallest Element.

sr= Representative James E. Mann, speaking in
the House Monday, declared that the one
thing in this country, all over the land which
made Mr.. Wilson the worst hated man the United
States has in years, was the gross wastefuI
extrsyagance of the officials of the present ad-
ministration!
We believe Mr. Mann is mistaken The Ameri-
ran people are not using their time and effort
shating' the President nor any one else Hating
is the most wasteful and extravagant occupation
In which anyone engage. 1t certainly is not
worth the cost to the individual
s The recent election was not the result Of hatred
which is always blind always the handmaiden of a
mental "closed shop" and excessive prejudice 1t
Is always, too, boomerang. The election result
would be credit to the Republican party nor
to Mr.. Harding, if Mr. Mann was correct in his
statement.
The fact is the election result was conse-
quence Of clear thinking, OF we'll thought mature
Judgment 1t a conclusion reached slowly
with some misgiving and with reluctance as to
many tens of thousands who had been ardent ad-
rnirers of the President and were unwilling to have
their vote appear to- condemn him personally
1t is thing to differ radically with mans
opinions, his acts, his Judgment and his policies
as to public matters, and quite another to condemn
him personally, let alone hate him. In this country
the most intimate friends frequently have these
radical differences
So it is that great body of citizens who
voted the Republican ticket, regarded Mr. Wilson
as a man worthy of personal admiration, sinsere,
honest and staunchy American; man of high
ideals, but impractical
They regarded him a of great intel
lectuL power who failed only as executive

Washington such fsgrant violations
of public confidence as have been
committed by the Utilities Board
would not be infected upon this pa

Commissioners of Patents, subject

voters far exceeded those who hated Mr. Wilson
