COMMENTS ON THE RAILWAY
STRIKE
The railway shipments strike has
provoked widespread discussion by
American newspapers of the issues
involved. Many editors take advanc-
ed ground, as does President Hard
ing, in asserting the right of public
welfare to first consideration. Fol-
lowing are some of these comments:
New York Times-There was a time
when strikes wer, for the most part,
mere private wars between employer
and employed. In that day the strik-
ers usually had a real grievance I'M
public opinion was with them, abb
horring the strikebreaker, the "scab."
Today the boot is on the other foot.
Labor is striking not for Justice, but
for privilege. Furthermore, the ma
jority of strikes, and notably the pres
ent transportation and coal strikes, I
dangerously threaten the welfare of
the entire public. The railroad labor
board was set up in order to deal with
just such crises, and has done its
duty. Come what may, the railways
be operated.
Chicago News-Employment in "a
business charged with a public in
terest" has come to be recognized by
everybody except some trade union
as subject to a limitation of
actions as must prove highly
INJURIOUS to the public. There is
obscure or sinister in this. ]
Provocative talk about the machina- /.

nipple fact that the people must have ,

New York Globe-Sooner or later f
he government must take to itself G
he authority needed to force a set I
in such affairs as the rail- ,
Dad strike. For if the railroad strike /
rere effectual the public would righr-
y insist upon protection. The
Jeakness Of the present law is toll

labor and of many disinter-

is yet to come.
