Sabotaging the Labor Board
CFrom the New York Times.)

''ill this function. obviously the
employees must use such power as
they have TO influence the labor
market, which is henceforth to be
'the determining factor in their
wages"
That is to say. If the board makes
such admission, the employees must
strike.
Then the dissenting members pro-
coed TO remove the 'if'' and to as
sert that the board has made the
admission which renders a strike
necessary.
Not only do the minority step
down from the judicial position
which they occupy to advise a
strike. but they obviously distort
and miscontrue the language of the
majority in order to provide the
condition which they pronounce a
Justification.
The Independent. which reveals
Mr.. W'harton's dual OFFICIAL capa-
city, says that "the shipments strike
was engineered from inside the

shopmen, unconsciously throws a
sidelight on this question of vera
city. I'VE wanted to make sure"
says William H. Johnston. that,
should the Labor Board go out of
business or be annulled by law. a
"step which we advocate, Mr..
Wharton should come back to our
Organization" The inference is
obvious-that the report of the la
Dor minority was an act Of sabot-
age against the tribunal which
Congress had erected for the pro-
lection Of the public against pre-
cisely such caiamities as the shop
men are now inhicting on It.

EDITORIAL OPINION

London he made a speech to the
Chamber of Deputies in which hi
upheld the perfect legal right OF
France to enforce against Germany
the sanctions of the Versailles
Treaty, even If she had TO do Il

this might not be necessary. He
also warned the Chamber that, toe
much must not be expected from a
further occupation Of German ter
ritory, or even from taking control
of German mines. forests and rail-
ways. French financial experts
have made a careful study of the
results that might be expected from
such action. and the Premier in

Il Billion Thro1Un A,Uuy
CFrom the New York Herald.)

There was printed yesterday in
The New York Herald an estimate
of the cost of the coal strike, COM
piled from figures collected by a
coal expert. His was the lowest es-
innate of several made by depart
ment officials, coal operators and
representative of labor organiza-
tons.
This most conservative figure is
more than a billion dollars. 1t is
the sum OF the loss in wages TO the
miners. the loss of profits and over
head to the operators, the loss In
freights to the railroads and the ex-
ira cost OF coal to the public. The
total loss to the country, as the ex-
pert calculated it, is s1,190,000.0 900.
Call il fiat billion and it is still
a huge loss 10 a nation that is being
heavily taxed to pay the principal
and interest of a war debt of twenty
three billions OF dollars.

surplus stock of bituminous coal is

The Government Acts
(From the New York Tribune).

The country knows this morning
that President Harding meant ex.
actly what he said when he declared
in his speech at Marion on July 4
That Liberty is gone in America
when anybody is denied by anybody
the right 10 work and live by that
work" The country knows that the
President meant exactly what he
said when he declared in his address
to Congress on August IS that he
was resolved TO use all the power
Of the Government TO maintain
transportation and sustain the right
of men to work"
The application of the United
States Government for an Injunction
to prevent the warfare which has
been going on against the railroads
and their employees was more than
an ordinary legal procedure. 1t was
a declaration Of the right of the
American people 10 be free from the
menace of any group or any organ
ization. The Attorney-General of
the United States, Mr.. Daugherty
went to the very heart of he situa-
ton when he said that the underlying
principle involved in the action be-
fore the Federal District Court in
Chicago was the survival and SUI
premacy OF the Government of the
United States"
We shall hear from the strikers
that Washington has resorted to
government by Injunction. Well. If
government by Injunction is the
swiftest and surest way TO combat
government by terror then every
American citizen who has watched
with indignatioD the lawless efforts
10 break down the transportation
system OF this country will welcome
government by injunction.
What it really is. this direct and
courageous lifting of the gage
thrown down by the strikers and
their allies, is government by law
The Executive department of the
GovEnment, represented by the At
torney-General as the mouthpiece
of the President, is applying to the
judicial Department for relief from

only two members. To marshal all

rogative of the labor minority. but
on June II the majority members

also that the minority report ''was

document is sufficiently indicated
In the following brief excerpt from
the statement of the majority mem
bers:
One of the passages (of the ma
iority report which the minority re-
port "strained") is as follows: The

down the country by breaking dowr
the railroads.
This menace is not that men quit
their work but that they are pre-.
venting other men from working. la
the process of intimidating the men
who wish to work trains have been
derailed. bridges dynamited. bombs
thrown at cars. The mails have been
delayed or discontinued. loaded
freight trains have been maliciously
disabled, factories have been closed
for want OF fuel or materials. Tho
crops that must be moved If the
farmer is to be paid. the food that
must be. freighted il the cities are
not to starve-these are in peril.
This campaign of threats and vio-
lence was intended so TO irtimidate
the puzzle that pressure would be
put upon the railroads TO break
their pledged word. discharge the
men who had stayed at their posts
and let the strikers return with all
rights unimpaired. But the rail-
roads kept their pledges. and now
the Government. in the interest not
of the railroads but of the hundred
million people whose health and
prosperity are at stake. has struck
a blow for order
And order is all that the railroads
need TO restore themselves TO their
normal condition. All that the in
junction directs is that the shop
unions refrain in every way from in
terfering with the railroads and their
employees and properties. It can
hurt no innocent man. Only those
will decry IL who believe that as
members of powerful organization
they have the right to bully ipdi-
viduals who are not members. These
apostles of intimidation and force
had quit forgotten the existence OF
that greatest OF Unions, the Ameri-
can people.
The man in the White House is a
very patient man and some persons
evidently have mistaken his patience
for something else. This morning
they realize how well he knows the
American desire for action against
the forces that menace the whole
land.
Evening journal., 1922-09-02

The Governments job in the rail-
road shipments strike begins and
ends with keeping order.
with order maintained IL IS up to
the railroad arrangements so to
handle their roads that the American
public will get the kind of service It
has a right to expect and demand.
The public knows that so far the
railroads, in spite Of the shopmeps

tempts at intimidation. have been,

The public therefore takes with a
grain OF salt the report OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission inspec-
tors that many engines are defective.
It reads alongside that report the
declaration Of Chairman Loree of the
Eastern railway presidents that the
sensational report is subject TO dis
count because the inspectors are
members of the labor unions. Mr..

This country can never be free
from coal strikes until the coal in
dustry has been put on a business
basis. If the investigation which the
Government is going to make of the
industry does not result in a complete
reorganization that investigation will
be no better than the average in
quiry; a lot of questions, a lot of
answers, some decimal points, some
sociological drivel. three or -four
bound volumes of "reports'-and
after that another strike.
Everybody knows that there are
more mines and miners than the in
dustry needs. Everybody knows that
the miners do not have steady work.
Everybody knows that because the
public is not induced to buy domestic
coal in the spring the anthracite bus
mess Is seasonal. Everybody knows
that the prices OF coal are regulated
by the cost of production in the lean
est mines.
And everybody ought TO realize
that the only way to average pro-
duction costs. standardize wages and
prices and assure a steady produc-
ton of coal all the year at money
figures that are fair alike TO the
operator, the miner and the con-
sumer is TO consolidate the coal bus
mess in a few big groups under pri-
vate ownership and public regulation.
The sickness of the coal industry
cannot be cured with sugar-coated
pills. There must be a major opera
ton. Now, while the patient still
feels the pain, is the time to take him
to the hospital.
