STRIKE TALK is FOOLISH.

All talk about q railroad strike against the order
of the Railroad Labor Board reducing wages effective
July /, is idle There will be no strike and If there
is there will be at least three men ready and willing
to take the jobs the strikers vacate.
The public, the transportation companies and the
shippers need not worry about a tie up Of traffic, for
il the men now at work do not recognize the neees-
sty of debating railroad expenses and wages in or
der that railways can earn enough to sustain them
selves, the old men who went off the payroll to let
the present employees keep on the payroll do appre-
ciate the situation, and the necessity.
As n general thing the men who run the railroad
trims Of the country have an excellent quality of
horse sense. There is no difficulty in their seeing into
as plain a proposition as the one confronting the
executives.
All cards have been spread out on the table in the
months. II there is a strike it will be an unreason-
able one and will fail for two very good reasons-it
will not have the support of the public and there is an
ample surplus of unemployed railway men who want
work to man all the vacancies that occur.

COAL

Coal mine operators solemnly warn the people that
unless they buy their fuel now there is likely to be
great congestion when cold weather comes and the
railroads are unable to handle sufficient coal to fill
the rush OF orders. If there is a fuel famine next
winter the blame viii not rest with the consumers,
but with the producers who have held coal at prices
that the people have refused to pay. Two years and
q half after the close of the war finds fuel prices at
their peak. Dchation has come in every other indus
try, and the people refuse to believe that there is
adequate reason for postponing the drop in coal
prices.
It is asserted that miners wages cannot be reduced
until next April, upon the expiration of an agree
ment entered into with the operators at the direction
of the government That may be true, but the parties
to that agreement can always amend it with another.
Ard it is u question whether the agreements would
prohibit thc mine operators from employing men not
parties thereto at a lower wage. Where there is a
way, and it is ridiculous to expect the people to be-
lieve that the mine owners, if they were so disposed.
could not hring the price of fuel within the limits OF
reason and stimulate an immediate demand among the
consuming public.

REASON AND C

"Wages are coming down." says Leslie's Weekly,
mot because as certain ~agitators claim, there is a
conspiracy of employers to reduce them. Few en-
ployers would object to continued payment of high
wages if market conditions and the efficiency of la
Dor would permit it. They cannot, however, keep up
the extreme rates of the past few years, for business
and profits have seriously declined. They must either
lessen the pay of their helpers, curtail operations or
shut down altogether.
This is really understood by the intelligent work
ing man, and he comedies the necessity and the prin-
ciple involved. 1t is wise in him to do SO. And that
employer is wise who is careful not to proceed farther
in this direction than he is obliged to. and who will
place reductions on a reasonable basis. Doing that,
he will serve himself as well as the men he hires.
There will be a better feeling all around, and more
efficient cooperation if no attempt is made to take
undue advantage of a greatly changed situation.
Fortunately, this idea of the employers attitude
is very generally being acted upon. Moderation pre-
walls in the majority of instances. Arbitrary and
summary cuts in remuneration arc not practiced, and
the appeal is being made to the reason and common
sense of those employed. This sort of appeal is be-
ing met with q sensible and satisfactory response. Fair
play on the one hand gives rise to fairness of DISPOSE
ton on the other. Every such example increases the
momentum of the circumstances which are bringing
the country back to normalcy."

GENTLEMAN is OUT OF ORDER.

Who is this fellow Gallivan, holding a seat in con-
gross from Boston; and what business has he to at
tempt to interrupt the celebration of Independence
Day at Jersey City? He desires to forbid, by his
resolution, any international contest to determine the
passed.
What has the soldiers bonus bill to do with the
running debate between the friends of Messrs. Car
pentier and Dempsey? The gentlemen who will
benefit by the soldiers bonus bill have their arrange
ments all made to be present and are aware the funds
arising will not be advisable before the entertainment
occurs and the kale will be much more appreciated
afterward than beforehand. They are aware also that
it is unreasonable to expect an overworked congress
to lay aside its interest in an affair in which France
and America are once more Joined in demonstration
of the traditional devotion to the same high ideals.
In all probability the legion and the congress will
felicitate about the ringside on July Fourth after
which congress will return to Washington and prompt
ly pass the bonus bill.
If Mr.. Gallivan does not care to attend the festiv-
tiles at Jersey City. he is welcome to spent a quiet
Fourth at home. He ought not to be permitted to
have any frecrackers, either.
