Rail Strike Causes.

Many causes have contributed to the
critical plight Of the railroads. Some
have been the fault of labor, some of
management, some of financing. The
major cause has been beyond the con-
troll of any of these agencies-the evou-
ton OF new forms of transportation and
the shifting Of centers of industry and
agriculture which the lines had been
built up to serve.
Investors In rail securities have suf-
fered. Labor has suffered. The latter
has been relatively innocent victim,
though hardly an acquiescent one. 1t is
suffering the tribulations which newt
ably come to those whose means of liveli-
hood are inseparably bound up with
suffering industry. This is one of the
civilization
In the conduct of any business labor,
industry and capital are partners. 1t is
truism that each suffers as the other
suffers. 1t is an unfortunate fact, per-
haps, that none of the three ever has
entirely trusted any of the others-that
in the midst of a decline each has tried
to place an undue proportion of the
burden on the shoulders of the others.
Now the Nation is threatened with
railroad strike, which, it is estimated,
will involve more than a million workers,
who refuse to accept fifteen per cent
wage cut. For the country as whole
the threat comes at an inopportune time
when, with the lifting of war clouds,
there are evidences of a revival of gen.
eral business which probably would help
the railroads.
1t will be of inestimable benefit to the
country If this strike can be avoided, il
the railroads and their employees will be
considerate Of each others positions; will
recognize that both are suffering pri-
marily from causes beyond the control
of either and that the stabilization of
the industry requires the trusting CO.
operation of everybody concerned in it.
There is one thing certain. That Is
that the grievances of railroad labor will
not be mitigated in the least, on any
permanent basis, by a further decline in
the rail transportation industry. A strike
will bring about such a decline. And
that fact must be entirely obvious to
railroad investors.
If ever there was a call for industrial
peace it is in this sadly troubled industry.

To the Editor of The Star.

WITH real need noy for more park

Consider what the States affected by the

{ CONCERNING the discussion of Frank
Flynns letter, 1t seems to me that
Mr.. Flynn cited facts and cases neither
OF which have been met half way. The
only return was peisonal abuse and
much about "toleratbn" and "Ameri-

policy of the paper for publishing such

Fire Chief Says Cars
Get Too Close

Fire Chief Carroll Pratt is irked.
He's got his neck bowed and is de-
termined to have something done
about people interfering with his
fire department when they are call
ed on duty.
Seems the road got all cluttered
up last week on q fire call and his
trucks and things and stuff couldn't
turn around in the street. He calls
attention to the ordinance recently
passed by the city which gives the
department authority to issue traf-
fic slips to violators and the chief
claims that from now on somebody
besides the editor will be compelled
to interview the local police judge.
Regulations call for 800 feet
clearance at the fire and following
or proceeding the apparatus which
is on the way to fire call.

Frozen Products
Gain Popularity
on Wide Markets
Kennewick Asparagus
One of Leading Prod
ucts on Eastern Marts

While large proportion of the
products raised in this section fin
ally reaches the market in a frozen
package, but comparatively fey To-
cal people have had the privilege of
purchasing processed stuff for con-
sumption. However, it will not be
the case for very long, according to
a report brought back from the
eastern markets this week by Geo.
Tilbury, who has just returned from
Chicago where he attended a can
ners convention.
More and more fresh fruits and
vegetables are being processed by
the freezing method, Mr.. Tilbury
reports, and the old style, tin and
glass packages are being done away
with as rapidly as arrangements
for the new goods can be installed.
Several advantages are noted for
the freezing process. All the color
and flavor of the fresh product is
retained in freezing. The process
is less expensive and will make fresh
products available at any season Of
the year, thus establishing q nom
fluctuating retail price; packages
are more attractive, occupy less
storage and transportation arrange
ments and keep as long as the low
temperature is maintained.
This latter feature has been one
Of the reasons for not using the
freezing method sooner. but in this
day refrigeration is standard equip
ment in all food and meat stores
and the new style packages can be
handled with the present equip
ment.
More than a thousand tons Of
Kennewick asparagus will be frozen
this year, and several other prod
ucts are being Experimental with,
such as strawberries and other soft
fruits.
