An Inherent Issue.

In their reply to the proposal Of the
railway executives of conditions for
the settlement of the strike and re-
sumption Of full service, the repre-
sentatives of the striking shopmen
made the following statement:
The question Of the standing of the
men on strike as railroad employees
was not an issue until injected by the
railroad managements. and only be-
came an issue when the railroad man
agementS refused the terms of agree
ment proposed by President Harding.
This begs the whole question. For
seniority became automatically an is
sue the moment the shopmen walked
out and abandoned their jobs. If any
other view is taken Of regular employ
ment. in any industry. the strike be-
comes virtually authorized by the en-
ployer as a means of coercing him into
concessions.
To waive seniority is to declare that
employees have an established right
collectively to quit work without for
feiting anything that may have been
gained through loyal, continuous serv-
ice. II seniority did not become a vital
issue at the moment Of striking its
value would be destroyed.
If the principle should be adopted in
American labor relations that senior
ity is not forfeited when a strike call
is obeyed it may directly follow that
seniority will be abandoned in the in
dustries in which it has become a
practice For seniority is founded upon
continuous service, as a means of
keeping men faithfully at work. an in.
ducement to abide by rules and to con-
tribute to and share in the prosperity
Of the employer and to gain the bene-
fits Of promotion rights and retention
status at times of slack business, when
reduction OF force is imperative.
Why should seniority prevail only
for the benefit of those who claim the
right to walk out Of the shop for any
grievance, real or imagined, to walk
back again whenever it may suit
them? Such a system would be unfair
to those who do not strike and those
who are hired to carry on the work
in place of those who quit. There is
more at stake in this present case than
the resumption of full railroad service.
and the issue was not interjected after
the strike began. 1t was there at the
start, inherent in the situation that
existed when the strike call was
sounded. II inheres in every strike in
an industry organized upon the senior
ity principle. which prevails today
practically throughout American bust
ness.

would doubtless have been one OF the
pioneers Of practical aviation. In
France as well some work has been
done. but plainly not comparable with
that done east of the Rhine. y
What does it all mean? Revolution
in flying? Possibly. 1t is idle to dep
recate the glider as merely a scientific
toy. That term has been too often ap-
piled in the past to machines that have
proved to be of the greatest practical
use. 1t was given doubtless to the
steam engine, as it was definitely
given to the telephone. A TOY" that
can maintain itself for over three
hours in the air without an ounce OF
self-contained power is to be regarded
as decidedly practical.
Considering that the best that has
been demonstrated at Clermont-Fer-
rand is flight of only few minutes,
it is obvious that the German gliders
have been brought to a remarkable
point of development. Can they be put
to practical use? Can they be used in
any airs. or sent to given objectives?
Can they fly over fixed routes. what
ever the direction OF the wind? These
are vital questions that eventually
must be answered. Meanwhile, it is
plain that Germany has gained a big
advantage in the development Of a
machine that is wholly self f-propulsive
in favoring airs and, If given an
auxiliary engine. may prove to be the
solution Of long distance flight.
The demonstrations at Gersfeld
prove anew that necessity is the
mother of invention" Hampered by
the treaty, the Teuton scientists
sought way around its restrictions.
Apparently they have found it. There
is occasion in this matter for the in
tense chagrin felt in France and the
alarm felt in all the allied countries
and the astonishment felt throughout
the world.

The Campaign.

The campaign will be short. Six
weeks will cover it, even in the most
hotly contested states.
Short, but not sweet. Its character
may be forecast from the debates in
the Senate. Warm exchanges there
have been taking place for weeks, and
probably will continue until the ses.
sion's end.
Whether or not to welcome this is a
question. 1t is not edifying to hear
men in high position charged with i'm
portant duties characterize one an.
others performances in strong Ian
guage, and even impugn one another s
motives Nor is it informing. 1t does
not assist in the shaping Of right judg-
ments. nor in the right marking OF
ballots.
Still, it tends to wake things up; to
draw crowds; to promote discussion
among the rank and file. And. any.
how, as a good deal of it is stage play,
not intended to do. and not doing, real
damage to established regulations. it
can be forgiven as a sort Of entertain
ment.
The country will be canvassed from
ocean to ocean. Even in the lower
south, where the republicans seldom
make g. sign worthy Of note in cam.
paign years. the democrats here and
there will be challenged this year. In
Texas, for an instance. where for a
long time republicans were as scarce
as democrats in Pennsylvania, the re,
publicans have nominated state
ticket and candidate for United
States senator, and will ask for votes
for them in November. There will he
something doing everywhere.

Time and Legislatior.

1t is suggested that Congress sit
from Immediately after election day to
the beginning Of the short session in
December. Why should it not sit also
during the two weeks in December
which are usually allotted to the holi-
day season? Why not pass up all
but Christmas day this year?
Tie short session Is usually too
short for the business in hand. The
appropriation bills are all marked
must" and yet often have to fight
their way. Other measures are
brought up and pressed upon atten-
ton.
The appropriation bills require more
time now than ever before. They are
much larger than hitherto. and carry
greater variety Of items. Economy
Is more than a cry. 1t is q necessity.
The people will stand for an adequate
support Of the government, but are in

Mine and Rail Control.

Federal control and operation OF
coal mines and railroads would be
justified as last resort. but as last
resort only. The people must and will
have coal and transportation. and If
there is no other way to prevent the
.errible suffering which would result
from a famine in these essential COM
modities the evils of federal control
and operation must be endured, but
even though the time be short and
the situation growing desperate IT
still is to be hoped some other way
will be found.
Following conference at the White
House yesterday. Chairman CummIns
Of the Senate interstate commerce
committee. announced that If there
isn't settlement in few days | will
introduce a bill authorizing the gov
ernment to operate the mines, and
ne added that the railroads would be
given reasonable time in which to
demonstrate their ability to furnish
adequate service. and that those un-
able to do so would be taken over by
the government.
This ought IL bring home to the an
rhracite mine owners and miners and
rhe railroad executives and their
striking shopuIen the fact that the
time for action has arrived. that they
must speedily settle their differences
~. the matter Of q settlement will be
taken out of their hands.
No one in authority wants federal
operation either of mines Or OF rail-
roads. but if the people. through their
government. are driven to that al
tentative there will he a general de-
,nand that advantage he taken of the
opportunity for a cleaning up of these
essential industries and that when the
mines and railroads are returned to
private ownership it be under condi-
lions which will make such step un-
necessary in the future. The demand
will be that Congress put teeth in
the transportation act, giving the Rail-
road Labor Board power to enforce its
decisions, and that some such tribunal.
equally endowed with teeth, be set up
for the mining industry.
Labor leaders are on record as op'
posed to arbitration and as favoring
collective bargaining" as means OF
setting industrial disputes. But if it
is shown that collective bargaining is
incapable of averting a great national
disaster, the opposition Of labor lead
ers to arbitration will have little
weight with the American people.

Gen. Woods Successor.

When the time comes, who will sue
Ceed Gen. Wood at Manila?
1t is an important billet, and may
become more important in the next

in state of great unrest. China is
rocking with domestic disorder. No

strong man. possessing some occiden-
tai characteristics. appeared and seized
the opportunity to dominate the stu
alton. The empire. rich beyond calcu-

containing four hundred million peo-
pie. would be a great prize.
Japan, while in a sense stable, is
yet showing the effects, observable
heaval. The old order. hard pressed,
is giving way slowly. The new order,
not yet in rounded form. is advancing
confidently. We shall see some ma
terial changes in that capable country
in the near future.

neighbor to China and Japan, interest
Cd in all developments in those great
states We must keep ourselves in
trim while we remain; and we are like
" to remain for some time longer.
Hence the advisability. not to say the
necessity, of having a strong man in

carrying out of American policies.
