A Critical Moment

II is critical moment again In the
life Of the labor board The episode last
august IS not comparable TO the present
controversy tor nov a decision has been
rendered and the railway employees don't
Ike Il and are striking rather than ac-
cept t. II the government backs down
and lets the strike go on IN defiance OF
tho labor board. the usefulness OF that
body will bs seriously questioned. Mr..
Harding feels that the labor board is
the result OF the deliberate Judgment OF
congress and that congress wanted 10
set up body with sufficient moral
mower 70 prevent strikes and If that
called more drastic powers would ne In
voked either through interpretations OF
existing broad general laws "u The ques-
ton OF interstate commerce or by asking
congress 20 put teeth in the tvansporta-
ton act.

Would Compel Obedience.

Mr. Harding would not hesitate 70
compel obedience by means OF general
statutes regarding the interruption OF
interstate commerce and hints OF "dras-
tic action" have been heard in official
quarters. But the danger 10 the cause
Of tho railway unions IS the prospects OF
forcing action by congress TO prohibit
railway strikes and making II an unlaw-
full conspiracy FOR leaders 10 inctte men
70 stop work on the nations transporta-
ton system. Should a crisis develop
such a plea to congress for added legis-
alton would become inevitable.
The President knows OF course that
the men who will strike are too few in
number TO tie up the country's railroads
but the question Is whether he can af'
ford 10 let the decisions OF the United
States railroad board go unheeded. II
he does, the railroad executives will be
likely 10 follow the precedent They too
have tried 70 evade the decisions OF the
board but invariably have been brought
into line by a show OF government auth.
GRITTY or through the medium OF leSal
advisors who have seen that'tt was un-
wise to fight the government.
