The Last Word Deferred

COMPROMISE of the vcxa,ious seniority
~ question appears to be not unlikely
The conference at New York between rail-
way executives pnd chiefs Of the brother
hoods has adjourned. but with another
meeting in prospect for next week. and with
the report current, though unconfrmed.
that the carriers regard with some favor a
compromise plan proposed by the brother
hoods The indications are that the pro-
posal Will be laid before the whole group
Of railway executives. and the mere fact
that the representatives Of this group have
Thought well enough of IL To give 1t further
consideration must be regarded as cncour-
aging.
The virtual admission OF President llarl-
ting. in his address ycsf orday. tina; his
first proposal of ''unmpaired seniority" was
rather weak in principle strengthens tho
position taken by tho carriers AT that time.
II is suggested, however. that basis for
settlement may be found in middle course
by which the returning strikers would he
placed Just ahead Of the new men and
Just behind tho old employees Though
no statement has been issued, il is believed
that something Of this sort will b" laid he

assertion that there is just one question"
to he answered in determining the good
citizens attitude toward this Amendment
while il remains in force: " whether
or not the individual citizen is for or against
the Constitution Of tho United States"
The commissioners attack upon nullin-
cation by disrespect and defiance is as time
~ as IL is sound He reminds every good
American citizen" Of the lattcr'S always
implied undertaking TO observe the laws
and to contribute to Tho best of his ability
To The support of the fundamentals of gov

manifest obligation. as Mr. Haynes declares

archy II" continues: In other words

Nothing could hold Il greater element
OF danger for the American nation than the
alarming tendency to cOnSign a portion of

MIR Haynes Is only repeating what every
body knows In be true when he declares
that the group whose attitude toward The
prohibition laws deserves condemnation in
cludes not merely some OF the foreign
born. but also considerable body OF re

To protect the rights Of aliens. The Presi
dent explains this by pointing TO the gov
ernmonts hclplcssness in the Herrin case,
indicating that with such a law he pro-
poses the inclusion OF two aliens among
the victims would have enabled the gov
eminent to act This law might serve a
very useful purpose on occasions; there is
no means of determining how often an alien
will be numbered among the victims Of
such an outrage. In any ease. the proposal
