Rail labor's heads want to be in a
position to call q strike. They want
to shake the menace of a general
rail strike in winter over the coun~

Rail labor heads are sUllcn and ar

cowed Government and by a servile
and abject railroad administration.
Labor wants to hold the railroads in
the hollow of its hand, as it held
them during the war.
Therefore the National 'Unemploy-
ment Conference must meet in
Washington and thousands of men
must sleep on park benches and ac-
cept the bread of charity. While mil
lions of men and women are out of
work these gentry calmly propose to
quit highly paid jobs ard, in a time
that borders on a national emergen-

CONDEMNED OUT OF ITS OWN
MOUTH

The Imperial wizard of the Ku
Klux is reported in the New York
Nation to have made the following
statement:
I'VE exclude Jews because they do
not believe in the Christian religion.
We exclude Catholics because they
owe allegiance to an institution that
is foreign to the government of the
United States. Any native-born
American who is member of the
English church or any other foreign
church is barred. To assure>the su-
premacy of the white race we believe
in the exclusion of the yellow race
and in the Acknowledgement of the
negro. It was Gods act to make the
white race superior to all others. BY
some scheme Of Providence the negro
was created as a serf We
harbor no race preiudices. The ne
gro never had and has not today n
better friend than the Ku Klux Kan.
The law-abiding negro who knows
his place has nothing to fear from US.
We do not act until called
upon, but if needed we have a great,
invisible and mysterious force that
will striks terror into the hearts of
law-brealzers"
No further evidence of the menac
ing character of this organization
would seem to be needed. Such pre-
sumption on the part of those I'M
willing or afraid to reveal their iden-
f.ty is both astounding and absurd.

Quite regardless of effect on the
fortunes of particular political par
ties, l am impressed there is need
particularly for an appeal to voters
to perform their duty at the ballot
box on election day If the result of
a full vote in Virginia or any other
state should prove disa strous to the
party of which you or I chance to be
a member, we would at least know
that we had heard the voice of the
people and would be more ready to
acquiesce in their decision. There is
no more important duty for the cit
iaen than this of voting on the day
in the year when his vote means
something"
Some good people Of Maine who
did not go to the polls and vote on
the referendum might profit from
considering these opinions expressed
BY President Harding to an inquiring
friend the other day.

We would say that the leaders Of

affiliated rail unions are right when
they assert that the railway employees

Of the Trainmens Brotherhood, says:
Our past experience has been that
So per cent Of the men will always
vote to strike.
Why else send out the ballots Men
understand that they are expected to
vote that way. They may not want
to strike, but they understand that
for tactical purposes, or maybe real
reasons. they are expected to so vote,
and they do so vote.
But why this strike vote Arowo It
is simple enough. Rail labor has
been shorn of some of its wartime
advantages, working agreements and
wages. Rail labor's claws have been
clipped and it no longer has power of

THE WlLSONlAN SHADOW

| There were many who believed that
| lowed his personal feelings, his pride
and some would say wilfulness, to
prevent a solution of the League con-
troversy: that in doing this he was
responsible for whatever Of mtsfor-
tune occurred in consequence. It
will also be recalled that he believed
he had so complicated matters that
the United States could not extricate
itself from the predicament
Now that a way has been found to
do this MI Wilson en1erges from his
| long silence to make opposition,
based,it is said, on alleged bad faith
with the Allies. He ignores the fact
that spokesman for the Allies have
given notice that they do not regard
the treaty. with Germany as in any
way contrary to good faith. Their
| word ought to be accepted. And peo-
: pie want to see the muddle in which
Wilson as President preferred to
leave the matter rather than abate
an iota of his demands, cleared up.
Events have demonstrated the un-
desirability of certain features of the
Wilson plan and confirm the opposi-
ton. The only possible excuse-un-
, less politics may be considered one
warranting Mr.. Wilson's Intrusion at
this time is conviction on his part
! that he is rendering a public service
in so doing. If he thinks so why has
he not given the reason?
To prevent the ratification the OPP
position must muster SO votes. The
Democrats have 81 members of the
Senate, but some of these have open
~ declared they will not oppose the
treaty Borah and LaFollette are OPP
posed. Those in favor of the treU.
express confidence in their ability to
pass it. We hear of no calls from
the country TO deteat II nor does
there appear to be any considerable
Endorsement of Mr.. Wilson's position.
Two or three of the Democrats.
Glass and Williams have bowed to
| the Wilson mandate but the defec-
ton is small; the Democratic leaders
do not dare to have the party go on
record as opposed and the country is
in no mood to tolerate filbustering.
On the other hand it does endorse
President Harding's efforts to speed
Up consideration not only of the
treaty but also of the tax, railroad
and other important legislation now
| held up.

who is in charge OF operation, made
some interesting statements to the
assembled employees OF the road. We
have not seen it anywhere charged
that this road is ineffciently managed.
If it is not. considering the fact that
he was addressing men, some of
HON at least are in a position to
know whereof he spoke and whether
he spoke truthtully. we must con-
Guide his statements worthy careful
attention.
He told them this country is suf-
fering from one of the greatest panics
we ever had, that there is but one
solution to the problem and that is
liquidation.
How will it affect US? Well, the
farmers say we have Equidated, and
are selling wheat at 81 bushel The
industries say they too have liquidat-
ed. They say steel is selling at pre-
War prices, for example. But there
are two outstanding features in
liquidation that are not yet material
" touched-tllese are coal and trans
portation.
Both, curiously enough, have been
touched with the damning effect of
q
farmers are united and the industries
are solidiy united. They 10th say to
the railroads. Get your rates down
or we will get them down for you
Perhaps you have noticed refer
ences to group control in Congress.
Well, that is one Of the things in
their mind-rate lowering.
Now the question is, What does a
reduction in rates mean to us? You
in the accounting department know
our earnings to-day are insufficient
to meet interest, sinking fund charges
and dividends. Whatever we are do
ing now is at the sacrifice of the
property.
Already there has been a ~ per
cent reduction in wages. 1t has af-
fected US all. You who are IN close
touch with operation know better
than l whether there can be a still
further reduction in operation costs,
or use of material. There is nothing
much left but a still further reduc-
ton in wages.
1T is not pleasant for me to have
to suggest to YOU this matter. nor is
it pleasant for you to hear That is
facing US. unless we want a receiver

IF a receivership comes to the
countrys railroads there will be
nothing left then for them to do but
to reduce wages. We must view this
situation as citizens of great coun-
try. with duty to perform outside Of
our own individual selfish feelings.
Rates must come down. If it is not
voluntary it will be forced by legisla-
ton"

THE JAPANESE DELEGATION

Japan has. chosen her delegates to
the conference on limitation of arra-
Inents. The character of the men Sc
lected is assurance that she regards
that approaching conference one Of
unusual Importance.
First on the list Of delegates she
places Prince Tokugawa, president of
the House Of Peers and head of one
Of the most powerful families in
Japan. On several occasions he has
been asked to form a cabinet but has
always held himself aIoof from it.
The selection shows that Japan and
the prince himself regard the occa-
sion an unusual one. He was edu-
Gated in England and is -eputed for
common sense and Inspirations for
PEACE. The selection Of vice Admiral
Kato and Ambassador Shidehara had
been anticipated Both are strong
men and well informed. All critics
agree that Japan could have done no
better.
In connection with this assurance
that Japan will be represented by
men far-seeing and able there is the
further assurance, or rather the like
hhood that the business men of China
through their chambers of commerce
may be able to compel the northern
and southern factions to give Gre
dentials to a delegation selected bv
the business interests of China. If so
this will relieve in some degree what
at present is the most embarrassing
situation related to the conference
Inc presev and future of China are
lnseparable from the consideration
which this conference must give to
perplexing questions.
The high character Of the JAPANESE
delega ton is such that it should hos
itate to give equivocal answer when
asked to explain why Japan out Of
the total expenditures of her gov
eminent applies 80 per cent to the
construction of her navy and 40 per
cent to her army, one per cent more
than Germany expended in 1914. Yet
it is important to know Just why she
is straining every nerve to increase
her armament at this time, spending
half as much again on her navy as
that appropriated by the United
States. They need not be asked why
they are spending more than a mt-
lion dollars this year for propaganda
in America alone: this is not mys-
terry, it is for the purpose 81 divert
ing attention from her great war
preparations, trying to make it ap-
pear that America is hostile and not
disposed to accord her justice, that
she has not been treated fairly by
our immigration laws, that she is

let, al of which is not susceptible of
convincing proof.
