Consequences of Bulgarian Revolu-
tion Yet May Prove Very Serious.

Thoroughly planned and executed
on schedule, the Bulgarian revolution
remains more or less puzzle to those
who are following events in that
country. There seems to be gem
eral feeling that the end is not yet
and that an uprising of the agrari-
ans hardly can be avoided. The
Balkans loom once again as a danger
signal to the world and there seems
a unanimous agreement that unless
the Bulgarian troubles can be ise-
lated more real trouble will loom up
to involve all Europe.
Reduction of the national army to
mere handful" and reasonable
growth" for Bulgaria failed to ap-
pease the restlsssness of the mill
tarists. the Springfield News points
out, and several assassinations
showed an open revolt against sxist-
ing conditions was imminent" The
Albany News suggests that lit is a
question whether the military party
is strong enough to hold the reins it
has seized. If 1t does retain control,
the great danger Is that 1t may try
to revenge itself on Turkey because
of the transfer to that country of
karagatch, which Bulgaria has
wanted"
Bulgaria under her czars has been
one of the most notoriously misgov-
erned states in Christendom," in
sists the Des Moines Register, and
reaction there may please a few
who are still so full of fear for the
established order that they relish any
apparent turning back of the calen-
dar. But considered on it's own. re-
action in Bulgaria has small likeli-
heed of proving a pretty thing" Ac-
cepting this statement, the Lynch
burg News further points put that
the. effect of Bulgara's action is
likely to appeal to the grave concern
of western Europe. Fascist tenden-
cies appear to be growing in popu-
larity just now. 1t seems high time
for the friends of constitutional gov
ernment everywhere to take note of
this remarkable and dangerous de-
velepHeRt in the popular conception
of governments and of the ruthless

peal to the concern of the entire

The Railroad Labor Board.

Railroads and the railroad workers,
it is reported, have at last found a
common enemy, the Railroad Labor
Board, an enemy against whom they
may act in concert. They are engaged
In parleys as to the best method of
eliminating the board. and an appeal
to Congress to repeal that part of the
may follow.
Establishment of the Labor Board
was to meet primarily the menace to
the public-all those citizens who are
neither railroad owners nor railroad
empioyes-involved in labor eontrover-
sizes on the transportation systems Of
the country. 1t may be az we'll for the
roads and the workers to remember
this in making their attacks upon the
board.
The fact that the board has drawn
fire from both parties, the roads on the
one hand and labor on the other, might
we'll lead to the belief that the beard
has been showing no favors, but has
been dealing out justice. <.
In the reports of the alleged nego.
tiations between railroad workers and
the roads much is made of the fact
that some of the railroads have been
able to deal satisfactorily with their
own employees in recent months with
out the submission of their differences
to the Railroad Labor Board. 1t is init
mated that it would be better to doaway
with the board and let the roads and
their men handle all disputes between
themselves. There is nothing in the
law creating the Labor Board, how
ever, which prevents in the slightest
degree the railroads and the workers
from coming to agrsements between
Evening star., 1923-06-20

themselves il they can. This is shown
conclusivel.v in the very arguments
now advan ced for the killing off of
the board.
But the b'pard was created to meet
situations where the railroads and the
workers fourd 1t impossible to reach
an agreement 1t would be idle to say
in the future. The board is a safety
valve. 1t is designed to prevent. the
people from lseing frozen or starved
because either the railroad managers
or the railroad employees, or both. are
stubborn to the point of tying. up
transportation.
1t now appears that the roads and
the workers are anxious to return to
the old state of affairs. where force
is the last resort weapon. And when
force is reserted to the outsider is
usually the greatest sufferer.
Congress will be appealed to, on the
other hand, to strengthen the Labor
Board. President Harding in former
messages has told Congress it is un-
thinkable that industrial controversies
such as the railroad shopmen's strike
and the coal strike of last year are
to be permitted to cause great suffer
ing 10 the people. Admittedly the in
dustrial and commercial development
in this country has outstripped the de-
velopment of the science of govern
ment. At present we are cropping
about in an effort to solve some of the
problems and to determine what the
relation of government should be TO
industry and commerce. The Labor
agencies being tried out.

In this connection the current
number of the weekly publication of
the board of temperance, prohibition
and public morals of the Methodist
Church carries an article under the
caption, ABE Lincoln to Al Smith,"
being an extract from the speech of
Abraham Lincoln, September Is, 1855,
on the question of supporting the
Constitution of the United States. 1t
is presumed to rest upon the asseF-
tion that Gov. Smith in signing the
repeal bill weakened support of the
Constitution. Mr.. Lincoln is quoted
as saying:
What do you understand by sup
porting the Constitution of a state
or the United States? Is 1T not TO
give such constitutional help to the
rights established by that Constitu-
tion as may be practically needed?
Can you, If you swear to support the
Constitution and believe the Consti-
tuition establishes a right, clear your
oath without giving 1t support? Do
YOU support the Constitution If,
knowing or believing there Is a right
established under it which needs spe
