THE PENNSYLVANIA'S SHOWING

The railroad employees arc not alone
in the desire to do away with the
United States Labor Board. Some
il not all the railroads also would like
to avoid any interference from that
quarter.
Present conditions, the lack of
transportation, inability on the part
of some of the roads to perform the
duties they assumed along with the
rights of way granted to them, and
the consequent injury to the public,
all serve to emphasize the fact that
there is another party deeply inter
csted in having some instrumentality,
other than the railroads on the one
hand and the employees on the other
with a voice in regulating. The
limitations of this power, however, are
open to consideration. Many would
have the roads kept as free as pos
sble from outside interference, left to
settle matters of wages directly with
their employees.
The management of the great
Pennsylvania system is endeavoring
to demonstrate that this may be done
successfully and is now making out
its case. Nearly year ago General
w. w. Atterbury said to his employ
es: '1'll promise you that when the
smoke Of liquidation that is bound to
come to this country blows away, the
employees of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, if they assist and cooperate
with their officers in bringing about
their share of the liquidation. will
come ont with better standards of
living and wages than those of any
other railroad company in this coun-
try"
Evidently they had confidence in
his word, which he las made good.
1r consequence Of this mutual conf
dence wage schedules were put into
effect, which We're, it is said on the
whole more advantageous to the en-
ployos than those prescribed by the
Labor Board. Whether, but for the
existence of the Labor Board and the
desire of the Pennsylvania manage
ment to make an excellent demon
stration, this would have turned out
{ 10 ,1J
may be open to some question. Any
how, the results appear conclusive
respecting the present advantage
both to the employees and to the pub
lie which is now receiving excellent
service from the Pennsylvania sys-
tom.
Commenting on this the Boston
News Bureau SAYS:
AT the conclusion of federal con
troll OF the railroads and in the midst
OIL tremendous unrest and dissatis-
faction among railroad employees, il
seemed inconceivable that any plan
could be successfully put into effect
which might require employees to vol
unfairly vote to lower their own Nag-
es. This was the problem that con-
fronted the Pennsylvania's cmplovee
representation plan, but il has stood
the test and sontatiyes of l4O.-
600 men have agreed to adjust their
wages and accept their share in the
NqNiaauon movement. It is natural
that there has been some dissatisfac-
ton among union labor leaders. The
weight OF the American Federation
OF Labor has been directed against the
plan and the federation is still trying
TO destroy it. but 1t has stood UP SOL
idly against all attacks because 1t has
the support of the great ma iority of
employees.

Editorial Comment
Dcnatured Alcohol for BootIegeine

tNational Druggist
Alcohol dcnaturcd in accordance
with special formulas authorized by
the Government has been Withdrawn
by the barrel for ostensibly legitimate
manufacturing purposes and turned
over to "bOotlcEGcrs" by the thou
sands Of barrels for the manufacture
Of Whiskcy, gin and practically all
kinds of intoxicating liquor. The re-
suit is that nobody knows today when
he is buying liquor for medicinal or
beverage purposes; whether he is re-
Ceiving denaturcd alcohol disguised
By the addition of favoring extracts
and other treatment. Cases of blind
ness and even deaths in q short time
are becoming common, as a result Of
a large and increasing manufacture,
sale and use of denatured alcohol for
beverage purposes.
In justice to the Prohibition Unit it
should be said that the administrative
officers are employing every resource
at their command to prevent tho di-
version of dcnatured alcohol to bcy-
crage purposes. They have issued
special instructions to internal rev.
onue collectors and guests to inspect
the premises Of every applicant for a
permit to withdraw and use specially
donatured alcohol, to investigate his
character and his business history.
and TO watch shipments of sncciallv
donaiurcd alcohol and see that they
reach the proper person and arc used
only for tho manufacture of mcdici-
mai, toilet and other preparations.
Notwithstanding all this. the Ameri-
can people are buying and consuming
liquor in large quantities and com
parativcly little of it is pure or free
from poisonous or delcterious in
eredionts.
