A Flying Field For Maine

WHAT ABOUT THE PUBLlC'S
RIGHTS?

What about the publiC's rights in
labor disputes between railroads and
their employees? The United states
Labor Board was the result Of a deep
conviction. impressed on the public
by what they suffered at the hands OF
assumed to provide an opportunity
for the public to bc heard adopted the
makcShift known as the United States
Labor Board. They gave it no teeth
nor talons but left it a tongue. which
it has been using this week to lash
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company
for flouting it.
There probably is much to be said
in favor of tho proposition that when
ever both capital and labor, interest
cd in running railroads. get together
in fair spirit they can obtain better
results than may be possible when
there is interference on the part of a
governmental agency.
But what about the public when
capital and labor don't get together
in a fair spirit? Having misused this
method are VIC now, after all the hull
ahaloo and lcgislating, going back to
ito
That is what certain of the rail-
roads and brotherhoods and bankers
would like to have done and they are
agitatinS to bring it about. Perhaps
they would do better if given another
chance, but this may we'll be doubted,
though there is sense in their conten-
ton that those, who make the rates
should also fix the wages. Indeed,
there is much cause for lack Of con-
tidcncc in the ability of the Board to
render practical service. but before it
is abandoned some medium should be
provided so that railroad capital and
labor should not be in position to
make ducks and brakes of public ne
CCssities.
