invited Francis Jones' Director-Generai OF The Omitted

thoroughly He and Mayor Harvey and others prevailed
upon Dr. ode to become not only director Of the Fed

$4,000 made by the Service Citizens Of Delaware to

STRIKE nETl

TrcONOMIC right and public opinion have their
- fight against those radical labor agitators who
sought precipate railroad strike in this country
October so.
Leaders Of tho sitehmen, tranmen conductors, engi-
and nrcmen at a Joint meeting held hast night,
adopted resolutions withdrawing authorization Of walk
and officials of the railroad elegraphe organization
announced they would take similar action These were
the only unions which had authorized a strike.
The questions in dispute between the railroads and
their men will be taken up for adjustment later
The Federal government had made It plain before the
strike order rcsended that would use ungovcd
hands for the prOtection of the American public against
the Vaccinations Of the raiIroad union leaders
Throughout country there was sigh Of relief this
morning when ii became known PRESSURE Of public
opinion and the firm attitude of the Federal government
had forced rescndment of the strike order.
is TO be hoped that representatives Of all the in

request of the California citrus fruit
shippers for reduced rates, which
will be made effective whenever the
Concurrence of lines east OF Chicago
and Mississippi river shall have been
obtained.
To meet steamship competition
through the Panama Canal a re-
duction OF rates on wool from Pa
cific ports to the East, substantial
reductions in westbound rates on a
large number of commodities to Pa
ciic Coast ports, such as canned
goods. floor covering, drugs and
medicines, iron and steel products.

These would now be effective were

prohibition of the law which requires
the authority of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to make lower
rates to meet this water competition
at the points where it is encountered
than are applied TO intermediate
points where water competition is
not encountered.
Applications have been set down
for public hearings at various points
in the country, which will consume
many weeks. and by the time a de-
cision can be rendered by the COM
mission the carriers will have sus-
tanned the loss for several months OF
the revenue from a large volume of
business which was included in the
estimated amount to accrue TO them.
If the new rates are permitted TO be
made the traffic will. of course, yield
substantially less revenue than the
amount computed on the basis of the
present rates.
These Illustrations, IN addition to
the reductions that have been made
on export grain to both Guh and
Atlantic ports and on coal. iron ore.
cts. in the East and many others
that might be mentioned, afford con-
vincing evidence OF the subtraction
which has been and will be made
from the revenue which was expect
ed to result from the rates fixed by
the commission in August, 1920.
This loss is in addition to that re-
sulting from the failure OF the car
riers to enjoy anything like the
volume OF business upon which the
estimate OF the commission was
predicated, namely. that Of the year
1919.
The difficulty OF estimating how
much OF the income OF the carriers
has been given up to the public
since the 1920 basis, OF rates was
established is quite apparent. but
that the public has received very
large benefit from the reductions
already made is evident.

Wuring Against Production
CFrom the New York Tribune.)

A few thousand years ago man
was barely able to sustain for him
self and his immedite family. He
had no comforts. His existence was
constant struggle against cold.
hunger thirst and violent death.
In tho course OF time. however,
man learned to scratch the surface
OF the earth and plant grain seed.
Eventually he invented a crude plow,
enabling him TO raise enough - a
harvest 10 support a larger family,
and even people outside his family.
The average standard Of living rose
in consequence and there was less
hunger in the world.
with the advent OF domesuc ami
mails, of the metal plow, man, the
unit. has been able to increase his
power OF productiveness. Instead OF
struggling 20 feed few mouths he
can now, with ease. feed thousands.
with each advance in individual pro-
ductlve power. the average standard
Of living has risen.
The same is true OF all the other
necessaries. comforts and blessings
Of life. When one man learned to
make by mechanical aid fifty pairs
shoes for every one. When one man
learned 20 make by mechanical aid
hfty pairs OF shoes a day. there were
more shoes for every one. When one
man became able to make ten gar
ments a day. there were more clothes
for every onet when the labor OF one
man became the equivalent OF 1000
electric lights, there was more light
for every one; and so it goes with
everything we eat, wear or use,
whether Il Ia a tooth brush or an i'm
provement in transportation.
Always the average standard OF
living has risen with increased pro-
duction per man. That is all that
makes the difference between the
hardships man suffered 10000 years
ago and the comparative case and
comfort in which man lives today.
Evening journal., 1921-10-28

It follows that the man or group of
men who. for selfish reasons or pla-
tonic ones, increases the productive
power of man is in reality a public
benefactor and raises the average
standard OF life for us all 1t is
equally true that he who lessons the
individual productiveness per man is
lowering the average standard Of liv-
ing, and is leading us straight back
along the trail we have come, where
there are fewer comforts and more
hardships for all OF ua.
This Is the mistake that unionists
are making. They do not see that
by lowering production. by making
two jobs grow where one grew be-
fore. they are lowering the standard
OF living for themselves as well as
for every one else. Perhaps they
should not be blamed for not seeing
the fallacy Of this policy. Man is
properly a selfish animal In pro-
tecting himself and his future. and
It requires a lapse OF years TO make
clear the direction in which we are
going.
Imagine, however. a union policy
that stood for increased production
in all ways except those that place
an undue physical or mental strain
upon the worker - a union policy
that bent its every effort in tlls III
rection. What would the results be
for the unions7 Would not all want
to employ unionized labor? would
Il not be possible TO pay it,far more
than Il gets today2 Could not en-
ployers afford TO do so? The union
scale Of wages would rise; union
labor would be bid up higher and
higher; the union standard OF living
would rise. Would not the average
standard OF living for us all rise ac-
cordingly?
Is not that the road TO bring last
ing life and prosperity to the
unions7
Can the one they are following
lead 10 anything but extinction7

Editorial Opinion
DON'T WANT PENSIONS.
From 'the Kansas city Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal.
1t is pleasing to note that the
unemployed in the United States
evidently take no stock in the Chin
erical suggestion for unemployment
pensions-if the response 90 a call
for a Chicago mass meeting having
for its purpose the initiation of such
a movement may be accepted as a
criterion. The meeting was to urge
upon congress the enactment OF a
law to give every unemployed person
a minimum pension or by what
ever other name the gift might be
called-of $40 per week. Fewer than
100 people responded to the call.
The scheme is so visionary and
unsound that II does not even appear
to appeal to cupidity itself. But 1t is
pleasing to think that Americans
generally are animated by higher
motives than those impelling them
to get something for nothing, or even
to try to get It, Americans want
work and several millions of them
want II desperately. The approach
of winter may we'll be awaited with
trepidation by people all over the
country.
But Americans do not want char
ity doled out to them in the form OF
pensions which they have done
nothing to earn. II is fne tribute
10 the sturdy independence ingram
ed in the national character that
the wild scheme is meeting with
such fiat failure. The unemploy-
ment situation must be met with
