AN UNUSUAL STEP

It appears that two of the three
members of the minority in the u.
S. Shipping Board, Messrs Thomp-
son of Alabama and E. c. Plummer
of Maine, have carried their objec-
ton. to the majority of the commits
sion's decision to sell five Of the Gov
ernment's ships to the Dollar line,
into court. Saturday they filed
affidavits against the Government.
It is said President Coolidge has
this unusual feature under consider
alton. A special to the New York
Herald Tribune has this:
IF minority members of govern
ment commissions, it is argued by
executive advisers, can go into court
promiscuously, as agents of private
interests, in causes against the gov
eminent which they are sworn to
uphold and protect, administration
of government affairs would be in a
chaotic state"
Those acquainted with Col. Plum
mer and his long experience in
shipping affairs consider him one of
the best informed men on that sub
ject in the country. The statement
Of his position in this controversy
will be awaited with interest.

AND WHAT NEXT

Some OF us can recau the no1pleSS
feeling Of the public several years
ago when railroad arrangements and
employees were making it very I'M
comfortable and expensive for the
public. There were occasions when
suspicion was aroused and 1t was
questioned whether or not there
might be secret understanding be-
tween the railroad managers and the
managers Of organized labor where
by the public was being "milked".
Anyhow people were being subjected
to many inconvenience and uncer-
tainties, at times affecting general
business and public welfare.
Then came the Federal Railroad
Board on which the railroads, the
employees and representatives Of the
third party to the controversy, the
public, were to officiate. However,
the lawmakers did not venture to
give them any legal authority to en-
force their decisions. There was
provided by this means an oppor-
dunity for people to arrive at an I'M
Outstanding of the actual situation,
an opportunity for public sentiment
to be properly formed and left to do
what it might by way Of influence.
Neither railroad arrangements nor
employees liked to have this third
party mussing in the affairs, asking
unpleasant questions, and in various
ways influences have been exerted
to nullify the effectiveness Of the
Board and 20 to do away with 1t.
In this offending the railroad man
asements have been a. open to
criticism a. have been the labor
organisations. perhaps more so. Nor
should this attitude be wholly at
tributsd to desire to put something
over the public None Of US care to
take the public into our business
condolences. none Of US but have
seen many examples Of the con-
fusion resulting when people under
take to take over the management
Of what once were regarded as
private affairs.
But over quite a period Of years
tie public has been assuming. many
times with Justice. certain rights OF
interference in matters affecting
public health, for instance. The
school, the home, parental duties
and obligations, guarantees, COM
pulsory vaccinations, are all IL
Illustrative features Of this inter-
ference. Why not as well interfere
where the public is menaced with
shortage Of food or fuel? Kansas
thought it proper to do so through
establishing an Industrial court to
protect the rights of the public in
cases Of controversy between capital
and labor. But the Supreme Court
has now decided that the steps
taken by that Kansas court amount
ed to compulsory arbitration, which
the Court declares to be unconstitu-
tional.
Meanwhile what becomes Of the
public's right to food and fuel? Are
strikes to be permitted to deprive
people Of the necessities Of life?
Not for long, we assume. but just
how it may properly be prevented
will tax bright minds and in some
ways will be likely to interfere with
what we now are pleased to consider
our freedom.
