line-up OF last Saturdays game as a /
criterion. eight OF the youths have /

have to be considered as veterans
due to their unusual early start in

INVITING STRIKES.

From the Hartford. Conn, Courant
II the seniority rights OF the strik-
ers are TO be restored TO them. and
employees who stood by and helped
the public are 10 be deprived OF any
reward for their course. then the
peace OF the social and Industrial
World will receive a hard blow. In
deed, IL means an end to peace and
a notice that strikers have every
thing TO gan by striking and moth
ing to lose.
IL means that the words OF man
ayers are worthless and that. II a
man accepts a job under promise OF
permanence. he can be dropped at
any moment TO yield 10 the man,
who left the same job and did all he
could to prevent business from being
carried on.
Il means ingratitude and duplic-
ity. As the Waterbury American"
said. II the strikers are willing 20 go
back, II the seniority status Is re-
stored them, what in the world did
they go out for? Evidently they
went out to conquer the roads and
now finding they cannot do that. they
are willing to. come back and not
strike again until they are ready 10.
such a solution would mean
nothing but unconditional surrender.

When the railroad executives

shop crafts strike, they will be free
10 agree that strikers could return
to work under the new wage scale
and working conditions announced
" the United States Railroad Labor
board, to go into effect on July l.,
but that there would be no objection
to a rehearing of the matter by the
board. They might decide to do no
outside contract work to restore for
feited pension privileges. But there
is one thing the American public
never could be convinced that the
railroad executives have the right
or freedom to do. This is to throw
out either the old men that did not
desert their posts when ordered TO
walk out by the strike leaders or
the new men that came to take the
places of the strikers. The railroad
executives are not free to make this
sacrifice of their men. old or new.

WHAT SENIORITY MEANS.

From the st. Paul, Mimi. Dispatch.
II such a concession (restoration
Of seniority rights TO strikers) should
be made 10 the strikers. it would be
extremely difficult or impossible 10
hire new men in any future strike or
TO induce any old employees 10 re-
main at work. Every strike would
be 10 per cent. effective at once. If
the workmen had no fears Of losing
a preferential right 10 work. Every
strike would be won automatically
as soon as declared. There would be
no collective bargaining or any other
kind of bargaining between employ
ers and employees. but absolute dicta-
ton by the employees OF any demands
they might choose TO make, with the
threat of strike. There would be
every chance to win by a strike and
no chance 10 lose.

SETTLING LOST STRIKE.

From the New York Times.
Should the strikers suffer any
penalty at all Tor having quit work ?
Should the employees who stayed in
the shops benefit by their fidelity7
Should the promises made to the
new men who took the places Of the
strikers be lived up to?
Where clear principle is involved
there ought to be no yielding. This
Is surely the case with the Presi-
dents proposal that all the strikers
be allowed TO go back to their for
mer position with seniority and
other rights unimpaired." That would
give them an actual advantage over
the men who had faithfully kept at
work.
The latter did a service not only TO
the public. but really to their union,
since they kept ii alive in the shops
and thus maintained an organization
with which the Railroad Labor
Board could deal. The proposal vir
mally TO penalize such employees
.eems highly unjust.

THE DEMANDS" OF
STRIKING SHOPNiIrN

From the Tampa, Fla. Tribune.
The third demand is that seniority
rights must be, continued to such
Of the strikers as may be taken back.
This is the most illogical Of all. BY
their own voluntary act. the strikers
have severed their connection with
their former employers, they must
take the status of new men. They
are not on the payroll and in some
sections Of the country, they are
conspiring in many ways. legal and
Illegal, TO hinder the operation of the
roads. They are "picketing." in
dulging in sabotage when they can
safely do so, and injuring the roads
in every possible way. That they
should demand to be taken back
with the restoration of all their an
Client privileges. is @ rare exhibition
Of gall.

HAD NO REAL GRIEVANCE.

From the Manchester. y. H.. Union.
That the railroad shopmen had no
valid reason TO strike. is shown by
the only Eemaining excuse for con-
tinuing the strike.
The strike has boiled down to
nothing but a strike for a return to
work without loss Of seniority rat
ing. From all sides come reports
that this is the sole remaining issue.
All Of which shows that there
never was a real issue. except pos
sibly the authority OF the Railroad
Labor Board. And while Jewell
might regard the existence OF this
board as cause for the declaration
OF a labor war, It is no real reason
for a strike. which the public can
possibly regard as sound. There
was no genuine grievance.

But those roads that have taken

LAW OF SENIORITY.

From the Boston, Mass, Traveller.
The only way open to the execu-
tives-aside from abject surrender
TO the strikers in defiance of the
labor boards decision-was TO ad-
vertise for men TO keep the shops
running. In order to secure the
necessary quota it was necessary TO
promise these workers permanent
employment.
Strikers have yet to learn that
they cannot eat their cake and have
It. too. They cannot quit their
places and still retain those places
and all the rights attaching TO loyal
service.
This is part OF the grim logic OF
monkeying with the economic buzz
saw.
