THEY Are MuruAIIY DEPENDENT

One of the leading commercial publications Of the
country makes this assertion: you cannot hit the rail-
roads without hitting everything else" A very neat
and expressive way of stating a truth Basic indus
tries and enterprises are so dependent one upon the
other that the sxIne assertion cen be applied with
equal force TO any other of them Farming could not
be suceessful without transportation service. Manu-
featuring Is in the same identical situation And rail-
roads cannot prosper without both Of the other essen
10 the prosperity of all And therefore you cannot
hit any one of them without the blow being felt by
al the others
Failure to recognize these simple facts was one of
the great faults of the Wilson administration MT.
McAdoo made an arbitrary increase in the wages of
railroad employees. No one complains of that by itself
Everybody rejoiced and will continue to rejoice over
my increase in wages a railroad employe OF any other
employe can justly secure. But the fault lay in the
fact that McAdoo used that wage increase as a means
of hitting the railroads in the solar pexus. At the
same time that he ordered the increase in wages he
should have ordered an increase in freight and pas
scnger rates, both increases to take effect on the same
day. That would have been ordinary common sense
and business judgment, but Mr.. McAdoo was lacking
IN both.
The Democratic administration limited the prices the
farmers could get for their products, but It placed no
limit on the wages the farmer must pay for help in
planting and cultivating their crops. In fact the
Nilson-McAdoo regime indirectly increased the wages
farmers must pay at the same time that the profits of
the farmers were limited. That Is the way democracy
hit the farmers at the same time it was hitting the rail-
roads.
There can be no successful price fixing by govern
nent unless the price fixing is universal and equitable,
and since human beings are not perfect, there can De
no just and equitable arrangement of price scales.
Satisfactory price-hxing is impossible, when men try
their best to be fair. but Mr.. McAdoo and the other
price=fxers of the Wilson administration did not try
10 be fair. They boosted the expenses of the railroads
at the same time that they held revenues down. They
boosted the expenses of the farmers at the same time
that they held the revenues of the farmers down. They
admit that they inflated in order to make it easy to
sell Liberty bonds to the public and then they debated
until those who could not carry the bonds were COM
PEELED to sell as low as 95 cents on the dollar.
a. It all goes to prove the statement that you cannot
sznite the railroads, the agriculturists or the bondhold-
ers without ultimately finding the tender place in the
anatomy of everybody and everything else. All but
a few found this out in time to take a crack at the
Democratic party and the Wilson-McAdoo outfit in
1920 and to do it by the largest majority ever record
cd in a presidential contest in this country.
If any body is suffering from impaired memory it
is not the voters of the land, it must be the Democratic
campaign managers

1.-THE efforts of William Gibbs McAdoo to white
wash the government administration of the railroads
during the war period" says the Manufacturers Rec
ord, "were interesting but unconvincing, interesting
because they were so contrary to what everyone un-
rrejudiced realized as to results, and unconvincing
because facts are stubborn things The proof Of the
pudding is in the eating; the public and the railroad
companies ate and it didn't taste good
"Of course no one who does any thinking or who
has any knowledge of the facts accepts MeAdoos
statements as being anything more than a very trans
parent coat of white wash for the government mis-
handling of the transportation system of the country,
a mishandlng brought about not only by lack Of ia
miliarity with the subject, but because of the impos-
sibility of getting through with the job without play
ing politics along the lines of the Adamson act, which
was the beginning of the great troubles of the rail
roads in the last several years.
1.-THE public learned to its SORROW that Mr.. MeAdoo's
promises in regard to railroad management sadly fail
ed, and as the Manufacturers Record said when he
resigned, he got out just in time to unload upon others
a broken-down railroad system for the whole country

MUDDLED AGAIN.

Samuel Gompers' suggestions to the secretary Of the
navy as the best means for relieving the men thrown
out Of work at the navy yards on account Of the ma
val limitations treaty, shows what little practical
knowledge the labor leader has of what he IS talking
about.
Mr.. Gompers urged that two of the battleships now
building in navy yards be completed, rather than two
which are nearing completion in private yards. The
fact is that the vessels building in the government
yards are Of the 42,o00-ton type, a size that is not
permitted under the treaty that has been negotiated
with the other powers. There are three ships build
ing in private yards of the 35,000-ton size, two of
which viii be selected by the navy department for COM
pletion in accordance with the terms of the treaty.
AS Gompers also asked to have navy yard workers
assigned to the task of s~crapping the ships on the dis
carded list, quite ignoring the fact that such work calls
only for unskilled labor, while most of the men at The
yprds are skilled machinists. of course the president
and secretary Of the navy will do all they properly
can for the discharged navy yard employees, but the
ornaments treaty puts a duty upon them that they
cannot escape.

SIMPLY CONSPIRACY.

The stage is being set for the greatest labor up
heaval in the history of the United States. The pub
lie is daily given a hint of what is in store for it Wage
agreements of anthracite and bituminous coal miners
expire the last of March.
In the effort to resist any decrease in wartime wageS,
the coal miners organizations and the railroad labor
unions are already preparing to combine if a strike be-
comes necessary to enforce their demands.
At the headquarters of the American Federation of
Labor it is stated for President Gompers that the fed
Grafton Stands back of any attempt to combine among
workers to combat possible wage reductions"
Conferences are now taking place between the heads
of the coal mine unions and the railroad unions as to
their course of procedure The rights of the public
are being completely ignored.
After the smoke of a general strike clears away (f
it is ever called), labor Organizations will find that
the public interest was paramount to- their own selfish
ends and that the power of organized labor in a final
test of strength can never stand against an outraged
public sentiment.

talking of passing the bonus measure and ordering the
United States treasury to pay what it costs out of the

CONDITIONS.

There have probably been more arguments for and
against the tariff question than on any other public is
sue except taxation. Regardless of our personal opin-
ion, certain facts confront various industries of this
country which, while paying American wages under
American working and living conditions, must meet
foreign competition.
No wise man would suggest closing our doors to for
eign competitors for the simple reason that we must
sell certain Of our products in the foreign market.
On the other hand, we must recognize the fact that
certain commodities manufactured under foreign wage
and working conditions may be landed on our shores
at a price with which no American manufacturer can
compete. Sugar, and paper are typical western indus
tries that can be wiped out of existence through lack
of protection.
American wages and working conditions cannot be
retained on a foreign commodity price basis
