1t was not the decision segregat-

stoned by a decision holding ac-

The war began in Europe, the out

rejecting the Versailles treaty we left
the reparations question entirely to
Europe. Let Europe settle it. II
Europe can't, that is not our fault or
our responsibility. There is no rea-

an indebtedness to make the pay

And even If there were a reason.
there is no evidence to show that
cancellation would make such set

is preparing to pay even interest.
Why, then, would annulment Of

railway managers would not be
sorry for a situation that would en-
able them to make a fresh start
from the point where Government

the roads but did heavy damage to

and very responsible railway unions.
Government operation did this
damage by transforming men that

ed labor by force OF a mere procla-
nation. II recreated common day
labor by the tens of thousands into
class now known among the rail-
way people themselves as McAdou
mechanics. 1t set up shop rules
and working conditions which gave
these McAdoo mechanics hours and
pay and other benefits past the reach
and beyond the dreams of the great
skilled brotherhoods which do the
work Of keeping the trains running
and hauling the country's stupend-
Gus transportation traffic.
AS the lavish favors piled upon the
McAdoo mechanics and other un-
skilled or low skilled labor under
Government operation swallowed -
the bulk of the increased revenues
of the roads, that reckless costly
and indefensible policy naturally was
carried out at the expense Of the
highly skilled labor in the respon-
sible posts charged with the close
vigilance and heavy duty Of actually
operating the railroads. When al!
the money was thus bagged by the
McAdoo mechanics and their follow
favorites It was no longer there for
anybody else TO get.
Perhaps the four big brotherhoods
would not be any more averse than
the railway management TO see a |
fresh start made, with their old su- |
periority again recognized in the !
new order OF things. And perhaps |

When there arose, few years
ago. in the United States Senate. a
question as TO whether this country
should Join the allies for its preser-
vatioD or submit TO the probable
conquest by Germany. one heard
from Senator La Toilette very little
about the blood OF our fore
fathers"
It has probably puzzled many. who
follow the career OF this political pie
eater much as they follow that Of
Charlie Chaplin. to explain why
Senator La Toilette should be so
earnest In behalf OF a bonus for SOL
diers who were engaged in a war
that he opposed to the last ditch.
Senator La Toilette began his re-
marks with the federal courts but
he finished with Chief Justice Taft,
and about the only damning thing
he did not cite in the record OF the
former President was Mr.. Taft's
membership in the Society of May
flower descendants. Had this oc-

have overlooked the opportunity to
fix the forefathers of the Chief
Justice among that body Of undesir-
able aliens who brought their lax
tiles and gayeties to these shores in
1920.
The difference between these two
men is difference between order and
chaos. Senator La Toilette is op-
posed to the organized violence
known as war. Chief Justice Taft
is opposed to the disorganized viol-
ance known as riot.

Strike Votes and Strike Orders
From the New York Herald)

There are two things to be said al
! this stage of the proceedings about
the announced vote by several OF
the railroad unions in favor of a
strike. One is that the unions early
| always do that very thing which
doesn't necessarily mean a strike a.
all, when they seek to forestall a
wage reduction.
Such a strike vote as a matter o.,
fact, empowers the union officials
and leaders TO issue strike orders,
calling the men out, II they so
choose to do. II still will remain
for the union officers and leaders
to issue the strike orders, as they
issued them several months ago
under similar circumstances. And
II still will be within the functions
and powers of the union officers and
leaders to call off the strike before
the appointed hour for it to begin,
as they did before.
The other thing TO be noted about
this strike vote Is that so far II
covers chiefly the eleven shop crafts
and maintenance of way unions.
And Il is to be remembered that
for the most part the maintenance
of way workers are day labor en-
ployed on the rosdbeds and similar
tasks. while the railroads them
selves have been trying, against the
opposition of the United States
Railroad Labor Board, to transfer
their construction and repair work
from their own shops to outside
shops. where the jobs can be done
not only with more speed but for
much less money.
When the railroads want to get
heir repair work done outside OF
heir own shops anyhow, do the
shopmen think IL is good judgment
on their part TO help the roads get
Il out of those shops?
The Big Four Brotherhoods, 1t Is
N ne remarked. have not taken and |
are not taking strike votes. The big |
