MORE POWER TO THE BOARD

shortly after Secretary of Labor
Davis came out publicly for abolition
of the railroad labor board and trans
fer of its, functions to the department
OF labor it was stated at the White
House that. instead of acquiescing,-
the president plans to submit to con-
gress in December amendments to
strengthen those provisions of the
transportation act creating the board.
Secretary Dayis Eecently has been
pointing with. pride to the record of
his department in the matter of ad-
busting labor difficulties. and claim
ing credit for several hundreds of
these adjustments. But It will be
recalled that the department was ut
ferly powerless in the face of the re-
cent coal and railroad strikes.
"The effort-doubtless well-intend-
ed-of Secretary Davis to enlarge his
department" says the Iron Trade Re
view, has had the effect of throwing
new light upon its weakness" The
department was created at a time
when labor difficulties were arbi-
frated. when the judgment of a dis
Interested, third party was invoked
IN industrial strife. But now labor
spurns arbitration. it puts forth its
minimum terms of settlement and
lays siege to capital. Whichever side
can hold out the longer wins. So,
IN these days of what labor prefers
TO designate collective bargaining, not
much IS left to the department of Ia
boz It oversees Immigration, collects
,voluminous statistics ana operates a
pvomen's bureau.
Had the department of labor fully
met the need of a mediating body in
the railroad industry, the labor board
would not have been created in 1920.
The board is far from a perfect piece
of machinery This fact is recognised
by President Harding. For one thing.
II has been suggested, it should be
moved from Chicago to Washington.
to permit contact with the Interstate
commerce commission. which regu-

road workers. Presumably. this Is one

so there L am, hung up between
the horns OF that dilemma" con-
tinued the bachelor, mot able
to decide whether 1 would rather
marry the woman whose beauty I Sd-
mire or the woman who admires my
good looks
Nor can I decide between the
practical and the intellectual lady. 1
can but fancy how delightful it would
be to have q wife with whom could
share my secret thoughts and dreams.
I dream of how good it would be to
roam thru all the pleasant land of
literature with a lovely PHI. d. whose
mind was set above the sordid affairs
of every day life.
But, alas. am a carnaI creature,
observed that E-Omen who dwell on
the higher plane have their eyes
turned up to the stars, and not down
on the kitchen.
81 have a horrid intuition that I
wouldn't be really interested in in
tellectual conversation If it were
served up at 4 dinner where the meat
was overdone, and the vegetables I'M
derdone. and the table cloth wasn't on
visiting terms with the laundry.
And there 1 am again. I'd dear
~ love wife who saw eye to eye with
me on Ibsen and the Einstein theory,
but on the other hand, what wife has
so potent a spell with which to charm
as she who can conJure with the pots
and pans? So I ask myself-shan I
feed my soul or my body? Shall 7
marry a woman who dwells in the
clouds, or one whose feet are firmly
planted on the ground.
Again there is the difficulty in de-
Gliding between the helpless woman
and the helpmeet. 1 confess I'd en-
Joy a wife who regarded me as an
oracle. and who would no more dream
of questioning my wisdom than she
would that os the Almighty. But how
tired L would get of living with a fe-
male idiot, with no more backbone
than a jellyfish, and how 1 would
come to resent her everlasting de-
mands upon me! And there I am
again, unable to decide whether
would rather have a wife who is
luxury, or one who is a necessity.
NO doubt woman have exactly the
same difficulty in deciding on differ
ent kinds of men. No doubt there are
millions of women who wish they
could have one husband to make
money for them, and another for a
companion, a steady going husband to
tie to, and a frivolous one to flirt
with.
But when it comes to matters of
sentiment women know so much bet
ter how to camouflage their feelings
than men do. They pretend so well
that they are satisfied with US that
we actually believe them"

of the perfecting proposals the presi-
dent has in mind.
The labor board did not function
faultlessly during the recent shop
mems strike but it did more toward
effecting an adjustment OF that diff
ficulty than the department of labor
did toward ending the parallel coal
miners strike. The department had
an opportunity to render a real pub
lie service. but it was impotent- Ger
tainly its record would not warrant
entrusting 50 with railroad peace Tho
logic of the labor situation today
points to further experimentation
along the line of the railroad board.

Henry Ford is reported to have
purchased large tracts of coal lands in
Pennsylvania and Ohio. When he be-
gins to mine bis own coal and ship it
on his own railroads to his own fac
tory we may expect another reduction
In the price of his cars. He seems
ever to be reaching out for cheaper
production and incidental advertising
With most concerns cheaper produc-
ton means larger profits. Probably
the same is true of Mr.. Ford but at
the same time he appears willing to
divide with his customers and his
workers. At least he has not been
known to obtain cheaper production
by reducing wages.

securing those aims and tho At may
be found We cannot agree-1 hope not

make it plain to France that we are
her friends and we realize that any
breach of understanding between the

IaborItes Lose Out.
Stunned by defeat OF their candi-
dates in the munfcipa4 election thru
out England yesterday the Laborites
intensified their political campaign
today with the hope of making a bet
ter showing in the general election for
parliament November 10. In yester-
days balloting the LaDorites lost 149
seats which they had previously held
in London and about 100 seats which
they had occupied in eighty boroughs
outside the capital, for the most part
in such large cities as Manchester.

tingham, Plymouth, Southampton and
Portsmouth.
municipal issues the races were
watched with intense curiosity as a
possible forecast of labor's chances in
the general election ana the outcome
of the local elections has certainly
made labor's prospects for parliament
very discoura ging.
London Hostile TO Labor.
In some instances Iaborite repre-
sentation was completely wiped out in
the municipal elections. London was
intensely hostile to labor. The gen
eFal feeling in the capital was mani
tested by the way the voters flocked
to the polls despite the raw wind and
furious rain.
The partisan interest for and
against labor is little stronger today
than the attention focused on the
wrang1e between the Lloyd Georgian
liberals and the conservatives. The
illness of Lloyd George attracts much
attention. His cold and throat trouble
is said by some to really be symp-
tom of run down health due to fatigue.

rose to the rank of judge advocate
general of the state and was on the

New York, Nov. "A successor to
T. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the

at the next regular meeting of the as
ISOLATION on November 8, it was an
nounced here today. IN the mean
time Judge Alfred p. Tnom, secretary
counsel and vice chairman of the as
ISOLATION. would be acting chairman.
Mr.. Cuyler long had been promi-
nent in the public eye because of the
leading part he had played in labor
controversies affecting the railroads of
the country. He was one of the rail
executives most vehement in his asa
sertion that when the men walked
out they had forfeited their seniority
rights.
Mr.. Cuyler was elected to the board
of directors of the Santa F'e October
6, 1909, and was a member of that
directorate until his death. He last
attended a meeting Of the stockhold-
ers of the road IN Topeka in 1917, and
has made several inspection trips over
the lines with the other directors. He
was well known to the higher Santa
Fe officials in Topeka, and the news
of his death comes as a shock to them.
