THE WAYS OF TWO PEOPLES

The Selma Times-Journal wonders II
the American people have the tempera-
ment to deal with an emergency brought
about by a tie-up of transportation
which the English people demonstrated
in 1919. 1t is positive in its view that
we should respond differently.
! In 1919 the English were brought face
to face with a strike which threatened to
paralyz. all land and sea traffic. There
| was an immediate response on the part OF
the English people to fill the places and
do the work of the strikers that was SO
prompt and universal "that the world
stood almost amazed at the solidarity OF
the English people and the common
thoughts and impulses that moved them.
All grades of English manhood from
humble cotter to proud Duke became
volunteers to fill the places of the strik-
ers and to arrest the paralysis of business
and commerce which impended. Earls
became baggage men, peeresses, station
hands, a baron, fireman. So 1t went
throogh all the grades of society. Vol
unteers came by the thousands and tens
of thousands. British traffic lines were
kept open and this vast army of volun-
teers broke the strike because 1t was
crisis in which the life of the people was
menaced."
The strike hasn't shaken the country
1t has had relatively slight effect upon
the comfort nd security of the people
thus far, because it has not paralyzed
Transportation. Unless it is halted 1t may
paralyze rail transportation, and in that
case we should quickly learn whether
Americans as a whole have the stun IN
them of which the English are made.
We suspect that common menace, a
common necessity would drive Amerl-
cans into the same volunteer service the
English gave so heartily.
We haven't "got our dander up" yet.
