The Rail Gamble
tFrom the New York Tribune.)

The railroad walk-out which went
into partial effect on Saturday rep
resents an attempt to override the
judgment Of a majority Of the Rail-
road Labor Board-six members
submitting a wage decision and only
two dissenting from it. It is the
purpose OF the unions which have
quit work TO coerce the board into
reversing its decision by bringing
indirect pressure to bear on the
railroad arrangements and on the
public.
This Is admitted by Mr.. Jewell.
the president Of the railroad de-
parlment Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor to whom the nominal
leadership OF the walk-out has been
iDtrusted He is reported as say
ing in Chicago:
THE United States Labor Board
no longer has any jurisdiction over
our affairs. Our men are not now
working for the railroads. From now
on our dealings will be with the
Railway Executives Association.
Our dealings will be with the rail-
road executives. If they choose TO
come to us through the Railroad
Labor Board then we would treat
with them that way. We do not care
what medium is used, but our nego-
tiations will be with them.
Thus. If Mr.. JEWELS view pre-
walls. the board will have already
been snuffed out as a statutory
body competent to make wage
awards and to regulate the relations
between the carriers and their en-
ployes. The board. however, is not
prepared to be extinguished so
easily. Chairman Hooper has al
ready called attention to some OF
the implications Of Mr.. JEWELS re-
marks that the men who walked out
are no longer working for the rail-
roads. He points out that new men
taking the places Of those who have

herent right to a specific minimum
compensation based on statistics
which have been derived from study
ing family budgets. Thesfgures, be-
sides being the result of only a par
tial survey, practically left out of
consideration the fact that many
families have more than one wage
Garner, and that wage earners, when
employment is slack in their in
dustry, often follow other gsinful
pursuits. Nevertheless, the statis-
tics were set up~as a finality-as
something to be accepted and almost
worshipped.
The majority OF the Labor Board
in reply briefly considered where the
country would get off If the figure
OF $4,000 a year. the sum arrived at
by the computers. were established,
as the minimum wage. 1t pointed
out>that the country's total number
of families Is 25,000,O00, whereas
the aggregate annual incomes Of all
our people, taking in rich and poor,
ia approximately $4,000, 900 900.
But to give each family head $4,000
would require SIS, 900 100000. Where
would the extra sum come from No
one gives a hint. No wonder the
conclusion is drawn that something
Is wrong with the statistics.
If railroad employees are guaran-
teed $4,000 each. whereas there is
an average of less than ZOO pro-
duced, who will pay the difference?
The greater part will come from
the $1,700 class-in higher prices
for food, for Communication tickets
and the like; the rich person does
not pay much more for freight than
the poor and travels by automobile
rather than by train. The railroad !
employe, because Of his skill, is en-
titled to an extra reward, but |
scarcely a so per cent one.

From the way the coal mine own
ers and the coal strike leaders have
gone straight to the negotiations en-
Joined upon them by President Har-
ding the conclusion is warranted
that the operators and the workers
both want TO patch up some arrange
ment that will resume the digging
OF coal in the now idle union mines.
They want to start up thescoal again
because the President OF the United
States told them in so many words
on Saturday that II they did not the
Government would.
So to keep this momentous ma
tional situation in their own hands
for while longer the operators and
the miners may resort to any make
shift arrangement that will satisfy
the Chief Executive OF the Ameri-
can nation by getting out the coal.
But no patched up truce is going
to stop the habitual turmoil and
strife among the owners and the
workers. No makeshift agreement
as 60 wages and working conditions
is going to correct the deep seated
evils and dangers in the bituminous
coal industry of the United States.
No business can be nationally and
soundly maintained for its owners,
its workers and the public when It
has employment for a great proper
ton OF its labor only two or three
DAYS a week at seasonal periods.
No industry can give a square deal
to the public supporting 1t when that
public has to pay for the product OF
that industry price based upon
giving a weeks living to hundreds
OF thousands OF wage earners when
they work only a third of a week
and upon yielding a years profits to
a plant when II operates only 100
working days out OF 800.
No commodity price can be de-
Tended under the laws of economics
and under the laws OF plain sense
when II is fixed for all the product
of the whole industry on the frac-
tional proportion that costs the most
to take out Of the ground.
This country must have coal and
II Is going to get It. But the whole |
bituminous industry must have a !
complete and fundamental reorgani-
cation. The industrial safety OF the |
