A SQUARE DAYS WORK.
From the New York Herald.

from the New OIh heTdiu.
The straight thinking members
of the international Typographical
Union convention who killed the
radical resolution to let no union
printer do a square days work Of
eight hours put themselves on rec
ord for sound economies and for
plain sense. The only serious trou-
BILE with the country today Is the
large number OF people in It that
want TO I'LL a job without working
at 1t and to get a days pay with
out earning It. The man who does
not work in the traditional Ameri-
can sense of real work both as TO
the time and as TO the energy he
puts into Il is not an asset to him
self, his associates and his country;
he is a liability.
This nation got where Il is by pro
ducing Either the nation must go
on producing or there must be less
for its people to share. The Amer
lean people cannot shirk honest
work without making themselves
poorer. and they cannot shirk hon
est work without having It cost them
more to live while they grow poor

The shop crafts strike has been
won beyond question by most OF the
railways, although they will con-
tinue to have some trouble owing to

which railway employees have struck
against the wage award OF the Rail
road Labor Board and those who did
not strike.
Those interested can draw con-
clusions as to what kind of lead
ership Is best for railway employees.
Several classes OF railway en-
pioyes had their wages reduced on
July under awards made by the
Labor Board. Some OF them were
ordered by their leaders 20 strike.
Some were kept at work by their
leaders.
The men ordered to strike were
those employed IN the shops. Those
who struck and are still out have
lost ten weeks wages. Those who
struck and later returned 10 work
lost their wages while they were out
also their seniority rights. Weeks
ago the leaders offered 10 put the
men uaNh ~ WI az AAA1 ne~ANo
awarded by the Labor Board, sub
ject to rehearings, provided the rail-
ways would take the strikers back
with their seniority rights unimpair-
ed. but this the railways would not
do.
The number OF men employed in
the shops has since constantly In
creased. Recently the leaders have
evinced a willingness TO make set

Unfortunately, the law gave tn,
Labor Board no sufficient power to
enforce It's orders. Inconsistent de-
cisions further weakened its author
ity. The result was that, despite the
new machinery of the Esch-Cum-
Minis law, the country found itself
the victim of great strike and
threatened with the blockade of the
necessarfes Of life. In the Anal re-
suit the order of the Labor Board
was upheld. but its prestige Is sadly
lowered. The question of seniority
on the roads accepting the settle
ment is not even left to the Labor
Board for decision.
Plainly a constructive change IN
the law is urgently needed. It
should be made while the mind of
the country is fresh from the dan
gers barely averted. The attempts
of the Administration to settle the
strike were none too happy. but in
obtaining the strike injunction it
brought a factor into the problem
which will deserve careful study.
The questions whether the Labor
Board Shall be continued or whether
its functions should not more prop
erly be placed in the Interstate Com
merce Commission and how the de-
cisions of the government with re-
spect to labor shall be enforced must
all be reconsidered in the light of re-
cent events.

shattered because these unions are
still out of the great railroads, Of

men out on strike against the deci-
sions Of a government body created
by the public for the purpose OF
peacefully settling railway labor
controversies.
Among the unions besides those Of
the shop crafts whose members had
their wages reduced were the United
Brotherhood of Maintenance OF Way
Employees. the Brotherhood OF Rail
way and Steamship Clerks. and the
Brotherhood of Railway Slgnalmen.
Their leaders were as strongly op-
posed 10 the reductions OF wages as
the leaders OF the shop crafts unions.
They could have caused strikes also.
But the heads of these unions,
Messrs. Fitzgerald. Cradle and Helt,
resisted all demands that they issue
strike orders. They kept most of
their men at work and the men have
received their wages while the shop
employees have been on strike. Their
unions are still intact and their men
retain all the rights and privileges
they possessed before. The United
Brotherhood OF Maintenance of Way
Employees already have been given a
rehearing in its wage case, and the
other unions mentioned soon will be
given rehearings. The unions whose
members have stayed at work have
not incurred public disapproval by
striking against a decision OF the
Railroad Labor Board. or got them
selves into trouble with the law by
committing acts OF violence.
There has been much criticism OF
the kind of leadership that some of
the railway labor unions have had
within recent years. Can there be
any doubt as to which kind OF lead
ership has been. best for the en-
ployes during the recent troubled
months? II is to be hoped that
railway employees OF all classes will
reflect carefully upon the develop
ments which have occurred on the
railway since July /. II they do. /

TEN POINTS OF THE LAW.

From the New York Tribune.
Very properly, woman is never
satisfied with the mere possession
of her rights. She demands the
other point of the law, which is
recognition OF them.
This demand the bishops of the
Protestant Episcopal Church have
now done all within their power to
grant. They have struck the word
"obey" from the form OF marriage
ceremony employed in the service
of their church.
OF course this word has been ao-
cepted with mental reservations by
generations of brides. Once wom-
an had gained the ballot, the right
to work beside the man in the Of
fee and the shop, TO hold political
positions and to practice the profess
sions its existence in the marriage
ceremony troubled her.
She knew that she did not have
to obey. But as long as the form
of words read as II did a mean-spir-
tied husband might always twit her
with it. To that she might we'll OBJ

Equally obsolete as far as prac-
tical authority is concerned are the
words in the ceremony, with all
my worldly goods I thee endow."
But there has been no active objec-I

who are, after all. the real pillars
of the church. And It was perhaps
for that reason that the bishops
