PUTS INTERESTS
OF PUBLIC FIRST
Hangar Says Both Railroads And
Employees Owe Service
Above All

NEW YORK, Jan. Gothic only
practicable, effective and just method
that the government can set. up for
the adjustment Of railroad labor
controversies is adjudication by a
competent tribunal, whose decisions
shall be enforceable by suitable pen
alties, Ben W. Hooper, public mem-
Der of the United States Railroad La
Dor Board, told the Civic Federation
in an address here today.
This was added by Mr.. Hooper to
his other five propositions looking to-
ward equitable settlement Of rail-
road disputes. These were:
"That efficient and uninterrupted
transportation is indispensable to the
public welfare.
THAT the carriers and their en-
ployees Jointly owe such transporta-
tion to the public.
"That the federal government has
the right, as a matter of contract,
public policy and police power, and
owes to the people the duty to insure
such transportation.
''That the governments duty and
the peoples rights are violated by
permitting railroad labor controver-
sizes to be settled by economic war
fare.
THAT, if railway employees are de-
prived, for the promotion of the com
mon good of the legal right to strike,
some other remedy of equal or supe-
rior efficacy must be provided"
Speaking in general terms, only
awo plans have ever, been devised for
the settlement of railway labor dis
putes," continued Mr. Hooper.
These are: By economic war-the
strike and by adjudication. | pur-
posely omit mention of such expedi-
ents as mediation, voluntary arbitra-
ton, etc, in their varying forms. The
difference between the strike and
adjudication is the difference be-
tween force and law
Just now the nations are >endeav-
oring at Washington to curtail the
ancient doctrine of the supremacy of
might, and | believe that henceforth
this spirit will likewise be potent in
composing some Of our domestic
troubles.
II am friendly to the aspirations
of laboring men for the betterment
of their condition, and am firm be-
lever in their right to organize and
to function as organizations. | can
not, however, sympathize with the
idea that the right of the railway
employees to strike outweighs the
right of the men, women and children
of this nation to be protected against
the disastrous results of railway
strikes This simply means that some
remedy other than the strike should
be found for obtaining justice for
the railway worker, without, at the
same time, destroying the public.
THE question remains, could the
railway employees get justice under
any such system? Their suspicion OF

Prof. Julian S. Huxley, British
scientist, predicts that some time
within this century science will en-
able parents to have boy or a giri
child. whichever they prefer.
That day will never come.
If science discovered how to con-
troll sex before birth, nature imme-
diately would raise up counteract-
ing influence.
The proportion of males to females
has a definite and wise purpose in
natures system of biology We 'may
not know that purpose. But we do
know that natural laws are beyond
mans control.

Ireland is proceeding more speedily

large batch of troops leave Dublin

Sir Ernest Shackelton, the British

courts and tribunals may be based,
to limited extent, upon occasional
acts of judicial oppression, but large
ly they arise from the incendiary lit
erature that is continually fed to la
boring men by demagagical aspirants
fo leadership, who sweepingly con
denim all government agencies and
officials, their motives and conduct,
as well as the motives and conduct
of all conservative labor leaders.
IF the congress of the United
States would confer upon the Rail
road Labor Board the power to en-
force its decisions, there is not a
railroad in the United States that
would not be brought into prompt
compliance with the rulings of the
board.
But the employees do not desire
an enforceable law They mistaken
ly apprehend that it would work a
hardship on them. 1t would work no
hardship on them OF anybody else. 1t
would stabilize railroad labor condi-
tions and benefit everybody coifeerr-
ed. 1t would be a blessing to every
employe and to his wife and chill
