RAILROADS HARD HIT

The railroads of the United States,
almost without exception, are finding
it necessary to curtail the number of
workers, and this action is adding
many thousands to the lists of unem-
plOyed. Shutting down of many large
industries has had the double effect of
stopping freight shipments on raw ma
terials to the mills and of the finished
products of these mills.
Less than one year ago the railroads
found it impossible to meet the de-
mands on the transportation facilities
of the nation; now they are experience
ing the other extreme of practically
cutting their service in half because
of lack of business Railroad managers
can only conserve as much as possible,
even to the extent of making further
reductions in operating forces if neces-
sary. They believe that the time is
coming soon when the demands upon
the transportation lines will again be
taxed almost to the breaking point.
Conditions which have brought about
great reduction in freights have
operated to considerable degree in
cutting down the passenger business,
and many local trains have been dis
continued out of large manufacturing
centers.
Persons out of employment may

THE DEBS CASE

The President having declined to
grant a pardon as Christmas or New
Years gift to Eugene v. Debs, rumors
have now arisen of the impending
Intervention Of the Attorney General
in his behalf, some time before the
close of the present Administration.
There can be no doubt that many
people who are not Socialists sympa-
thize with the prisoner and would be
glad to see him released, chiefly, we
assume, because of his amiable and
SINCERE personality, and with little
or no regard to the merits OF the
case. 1t needs to be borne in mind
however, that at the time when the
.Selective Service law was calling to
the colors all the young men of the
nation. Mr.. Debs in a public speech
deliberately and Intentionally tried
to obstruct that process and to per-
Suade young men to evade the draft.
Now the Government at that time
and afterward dealt severely with
young men who tried to evade the
draft; who, that is to say, followed
the counsel of Mr.. Debs The question
inevitably rises whether it would be
Just to punish them and to give inn
munity to the man who melted them
to their crime. Abraham Lincoln, who
was disposed toward all possible clehl-
ency, once demanded: "Must I shoot
a simple-minded soldier boy who de-
serts, while | must not touch a hair
of willy agitator who induces him to
desert?" That is view of the case
which must not be overlooked even
by those who feel sorry for the pres
ent plight of Mr.. Debs,-Harvey's
