THE RAILROAD STRIKE

Developments in the strike of rail- road shop workers are none too
 promising for an early settlement, should there be any settlement at all. The seriousness of transportatio problems, due to bad order cars which may not be repaired by union work CTS, may be on the mend. This can not be definitely told until 1t is dem onstrated to the country at large by good train service that the new labor in the shops, replacing the strikers, is reaching maximum efficiency and is bringing up the condition of the cars. It is quite possible without the inter ference of other members of the rail- road brotherhoods in the strike, the engineers for instance, that the rail- road shops may be filled with workers who will learn their trade and repair the equipment which has been speed fly running down and that the strike will be broken.
 Evidently the latter surmise, on our part, is accepted as q fact by the managers of the railroads. Yesterday the leaders of many of the roads after a conference, authorized the statement that there was no peace coming inn mediately, that peace meant surrend- CT on the part of the roads and no surrender was contemplated This would indicate that the managers were satisfied that they could get along without the strikers in the shops, that they believed the new workers could see a betterment of the situation.
 On the western division of the Southern Railway company the en- gineers and firemen have quit their work, not as a strike but because they considered that the equipment was unsafe and that their lives were threat ened if they continued operation. This will be one of the methods of the railway union men to make the strike l effective should the siopmen appear to need help and, if generally practs- ed, is liable to make the most effec- i tive weapon in the hands of union ism.
 The conclusion to be drawn from | the engineers strike on the Southern | are not quite as obvious as those we obtain from the statement after man. agers meeting. The strike may be | fostered by a real fear of the equip | ment, it may be an attempt to aid the shopmen.
 One thing is certain, should the | strikes of the Big Four" of railroad uabor continue We shall see a settle i ment very soon, through govern ment intervention, breaking of rail- way unionism, or victory for the | men. The country must have trans portation and is going to get it, some way, certainly.

FRANCE READY TO ACT.

Premier Poincare, backed by French public opinion as the hands of all leaders of political thought in france must be endorsed by their people, has expressed himself in re- gards to Germany in no uncertain terms following the financial con- ference in England at which time Germany managed to leave the French and British allies more or less estranged and without much hope on the indemnity matter. Germany is to have no moratorium if France gets her way-and it looks as if France will see to it that she does set her way. The occupation of the state mines and forests by the allies

CAPITALIZING THE 18TH
 AMENDMENT

Considerable campaign ammunition
 will be furnished in the fall elections | by the eighteenth amendment and | many bodies of people will be asked | to vote for a certain candidate for
 Congress because he Is running upon
 beer and light wine platform. It is doubtful, however, just how much of
 the true prohibition sentiment of the
 country iwll be shown in the vote. One
 could not claim that Alabama was carried on a democratic ticket because the candidate stood for modified
 prohibition, If he happened to. Neither
 could Q republican candidate upset
 the usual democratic majority by an
 appeal to the thirst of dry state. All
 things being equal true sentiment of
 a particular district might be obtain
 ed in the vote for wet and dry can
 didate, but there enters the personal equation, the political equation, and whatever local complications there might be. In places of questionable political sentiment there may be decision, inferences may be made from a larger or smaller number of votes for a particular ticket In particular locality
 The true way to modify the strict ness of prohibition edicts is to choose q Congress that will modify the Vol stead act, a repeal of the amendment would be a tedious and probably inn possible routine. IL would take more votes than it is possible to corral to rewrite the Constitution in such manner that 1t would provide that every citizen is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of liquor. even though that is the present meaning of the amendment at least. But, by chang ing the definition of intoxicating liquor" by making higher the amount of alcohol it may obtain, it may be found possible to gain the results promised,
 The Literary Digest pool of the country seems to warrant the assump- ton that the majority is in favor of modified prohibition. opinions ex- pressed from several sources indicate the same feeling. Officials of the as- sociation opposed to the prohibition have stated that beer and | light wines will be legally served in | 1924, In the north 1t is stated that G17.2S5 automobiles entered Canada i against 93,300 the previous year. The | autos entered for touring purposes, | they were not trucks. The scenery, it ! is supposed, furnished the big attrac- tion. Little of Canadas really beauti- ful scenery may be quickly reached by [ automobile. but what there was was thoroughly enjoyed-over the top of | a glass, we suppose
 Attempts on the part of politicians to capitalize prohibition may not meet with the success that the same at- tempts on the part of the bootlegger have. Eventually, however, there will be true expression of opinion.

 how there is a suspicion here that Germany will eventually pay through the exploitation of American mar kets, that England will not suffer particularly through the foreign com petition and that Uncle Sam is thus, in a roundabout fashion, holding the bag after all. Our synpathies are greatly with France. We admit that readjustment of world finances. aided materially by German nor. atorium, is a powerful argument for the British. but readjustment of world finances can be obtained in one manner-spreading the money which 1 the United States now has and the debts which she is supposed to re- ceive over the world In other words find a manner to split up the fortune of the United States among | the poorer nations of the globe, even though 1t Is done indirectly, and the | riddle will be solved.
