employees, subject to the rights re-
tanned by the loyal employees who re-
manned at work and the rights at
tanned by the new men employed
since the strike began.
When any such striker does return,
IL he thinks he is lawfully entitled to
his former seniority rights, nobody
could keep him from bringing that
question before the labor board But
the labor board would have to re-
verse every fundamental ruling it has
made on seniority in order to give
him anything but what the manage
ments stand ready to give him.
Were the railroads to attempt to
barter away the rights of their men
at work. another strike, by these faith
full employees and new employees, might
easily be the result.
The most important question to be
answered by the outcome of this
strike is this:
Shall industrial disputes affecting
the railroads be settled by orderly
process as contemplated by Congress
when it passed the transportation act,
or shall they be settled by force or
threats of force?"
There is a way to settle this strike
Immediately and with full justice to
the public, the men and the railroads
Let it be settled by orderly process
ina the manner outlined above.

Despite Averseness.
THINK WE ARE PRoDIGALS
We Debut Foreigner Knows
Better; Even the Russians

By EDNA FERBER
Noted Short Story Writer; author Of

(Copyright, 1893, By United PressJ
PARIS, Aug. 11.-Of all the bitter
souls in Europe today-and Europe'S
bilious with bitterness-the most en-
venomed, surely, is that impressive
gentleman with the ball and chain
worn around his neck, who, once
you've given your dinner order, ap-
proaches your restaurant table and
thrusts under your nose for your Pc
rusaI a. large octave volume entitled
Wines"
There is reason for his resentment
This book-bearing gentleman knows.
He knows that you are an American
He knows Americans are not q wine
drinking people. He knows that 1t Is
the American who is doing all the
European travelling this year.
His face is a citrous thing as he
hears you say: Listen, folks, what
do you want TO drink, h'm?"
Maybe We Forgot
We Americans do not know how
to drink wine. 1t doesn't mix with
our habits, temperament. or way Of
living. To be a natural-born wine
drinker, you must have the Latin
temperament, the habit Of leisure. and
the after dinner nap custom. When
the United States begins to shut up
shop between noon and m. it
will have become a Nation Of wine
drinkers. The chances appear re-
mote.
While we rather pride ourselves
on being spenders, Europe knows
better. Europe knows that the spend
ers of the world-the Russians, the
Austrians, the Hungarians. thu veal
thy Germans-are paupers today. OF
these, the Russians used TO be the
most prodigal. Even at the great
cures and springs such as Karlsbad,
Vichy, or Baden-Baden. where alco-
holic drinks were forbidden him, the
Russian spender used TO order cham
pagne though ne didn't intend TO
drink it. He was just used to hav-
ing it sitting around, like the salt.
Tipping Has Ceased
The waiter, the head waiter, the
cab driver, the lift man, the chamber
mad, the friseur. the wine man, will
all tell you that the grand old days OF
staggering tips are over.
With this knowledge ranking in
their minds. they punish the water
drinking Washingtonian. Now it is
one thing to want drink and not to
be allowed to buy it. 1t is another
thing not to want a drink and be
obliged to buy it. OF the two it is
hard to decide which is the more I'M
pleasant.

TO The Editor Of The Times

To the Editor Of The Times
Viewing the existing railroad stu
alton as one fraught with the gravest
dangers, not only to the railroads
and their employees. but to the peace
and welfare of the entire Nation, 1
cannot refrain from expressing my
feeling OF amazement at the spirit of
your editorial of Aug. 3. entitled
THE President and the King"
I prefer to believe that the edito-
rial Is conscientie Isly conceived, and
on that basis merely to point out err
rors in the statement of facts upon
which, by it's own terms, It is based.
In so doing, I shall conflne myself
TO one Of several misstatements, the
one which the writer of the editorial
assumes, If I understand him, to be
of the greatest Importance. He says:
How about that priority thing and
the concern that King Railroad has
for its preservation? The fact is
that at bottom the men struck be-
cause King Railroad was destroying
the seniority rights which he now
holds so sacred. The railroads en-
tered upon a deliberate program of
giving Their car repair work to con
tractors in closing down the company
repair shops. That meant lockout for
the railroad shopmen. It meant that
they not only lost their seniority
rights, but their Jobs as WELL
Concerning this let me say:
Far from being a major issue
contracting out" was a practice fol
lowed by only a very few railroads
not over sixteen or eighteen at most.
2-Whatever Importance it may
have had as an issue was removed
when the railroads informed the rail
road labor board of their abandon
naent Of the practice, with. as I am
informed. only two exceptions. and
these roads took exception to the
power Of the labor board under the
Transportation Act 20 order discon-
tinuance, and appealed to the courts
TO determine what those powers are.
3-The same employees who were
working for the railroads worked for
the contracting companies. and no
5obs were lost as a result OF contrac-
ting out. except such work as could
be and should be dispensed with be-
cause Of its purely wastafu1 charac-
ter.
To talk OF contracting out" as a
major issue at this time is to utterly
misunderstood proportions. 1t is not
so regarded even by the union lead
ers themselves.
When the President proposed terms
Of settlement he named three points
to which both sids were to agree. The
railroads dissented from the Presi-
dents views on one point only. the

Warrington Says Strikes End
Depends ON Quiet Return 20 Work

third. when he suggested that, "all
employees now on strike be returned to
work and to their former positions
with seniority and other rights IN
impaired"
Thus seniority became tbs major
issue.
The railroads now have at work,
helping to keep the commerce Of the
United States moving. more than
100000 shop-craft men, loyal employees
and new employees whose seniority
rights the strikers are asking the ex-
ecutives to barter away.
Entirely aside from the moral uues-
ton involved in such an undertaking,
the executives have no power to bar
ter away their mems rights.
call your attention to decision
No. 299 Of the United States railroad
labor board. dated Oct 20. 1921. This
is the decision handed down after the
threatened train service strike last
fall was called off. The last lara.
graph of this decision reads as fol-
lows:
1.-THE board further points out for
the consideration of employees inter
ested that when such action does re-
suit in a strike, the organization so
acting has forfeited its rights md the
rights OF its members in and to the
provisions and benefits of all con.
tracts heretofore existing. and the
employees so striking have voluntarily
removed themselves from the classes
entitled to appeal to this board for
relief and protection"
1t seems to me to follow from this
that on July l of this year no carrier
legally had any shop-craft employees,
except those that remained in its serV-
ice. As new men were taken on and
accorded, under the resolution Of the
labor board Of July 8, the BENEFITS of
the outstanding wage and rule de-
cision of the board" they were en-.
titled to have their names entered IN
| the order Of their employment i'm
mediately under the names Of the
loyal employees who remained at work.
The striking employees, under the
terms of the boards decision, ceased
to be railroad employees, and this is
the position which they themselves
took in denying the boards jurlsdic-
ton.
If this Be correct, this strike can
not be settled in ways which were
possible prior to- the passage of the
transportation act and the establish
ment of the United States Ia!.road
labor board. The only way for the
employees to accept the jurisdiction Of
the board is to accept it by going
back and offering themselves &c. en-
ployment.
So far as they are accepted. they
necessarily would come on as new
