RuiIroud Seizure

Faced with what he considered a
refusal on the part Of the manage
ment to submit a labor dispute to
arbitration, President Roosevelt, act
ing with marked firmness, has or
dered the Office of Defense Trans
portation to seize and operate the
Toledo, Peoria and Western Railroad.
The railroad is a small one, en-
ploying only 1O4 workers and having
but 239 miles of track. It's operations
are important in wartime. however,
since it's affords means of bypass
ing Chicago with transcontinental
freight shipments.
In refusing to submit the dispute
involving questions of contract re-
newal to arbitration, George p.
McNear, jr., president Of the road,
contended that the Railway Labor
Act does not require compulsory ar
bitration and that President Roose-
welt, in setting up the War Labor
Board, stipulated that the provisions
Of the Railway Labor Act were not
being superseded. In the face of
recommendation for arbitration
from four Federal agencies, however,
this contention has availed him
nothing.
Any appraisal Of the correctness Of
the Presidents action should take
into account the Importance to the
war effort of maintaining smooth
flow of traffic on the railroad. While
continuing to operate, its function
ing had been affected adversely by
a strike, and the President rested his
order for seizure on the Importance
Of the road to the successful prose-
cution of the war"

either here or in other places Of return

The so-called American way of life"
has not been characterized by much
other than a search for more OF self
ease, freedom to do as we please and an
increasing indulgence in habits and
ways wholly selfish and insular. A high
minded Englishman brings such an in
dictment against his people. and main
tains that his nations way Of life these
past Is years has been in utter disre-
gard Of her moral obligations and that
much Of the misery that has now come
to her is the logical result Of her narrow
and utterly selfish ways.
In this world in which we live we seem
to forget the close interrelationships OF
life and the ways by which they can be
maintained in equity and fairness to all.
We cannot live to ourselves. We cannot
have one set of rules for favored group
and another set for the less favored. II
we have the consistency to face the real
causes that have produced world war
we will discover that this latest and
most terrible evil that has come to us
is not a visitation of Gods wrath; 1t is
the logical and inevitable result of mans
sin. It is the corporate sin of the world.
1t is the world abandonment of
the immutable laws of God. That out OF
1t good will come and better world, this
we with yearning hope and believe.
God does care. but the great question
facing each one of us is, do we care? Do
we care enough to amend our ways. to
restore reverence. and clean, wholesome
living to its rightful place? Are we ready
to readjust our lives, at any cost or sac
rifice that this world may be more fit
place in which to live? When man be-
gins to care and to evidence it in all his
ways and practices he will win the favor
and blessing of God.

dent in this instance is in striking
contrast to his attitude toward other
strikes or labor disputes affecting the
war program. His position in these
other cases has been that they were
minor in character and unimportant
in their effect on the war effort as
whole, although Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Navy Ralph Bard told a
House committee Friday that 67,5OO
man-hours had been lost through
strikes from December / through
March IA.
Presumably Mr.. Roosevelt regards
the railroad dispute as matter of
prime Importance to the war pro-
gram, and acted on that assumption.
The question which arises is whether
his stand in this case is to be re-
garded as a precedent should devel-
opnients call for equally firm action
on his part In the future against a
labor union.

Up to Congress

Having met repeated rebuffs at
the hands of the Supreme Court In
his efforts to proceed against labor
unions for what he regarded as vio-
lations of the antitrust laws or
other statutes, it is only natural that
Assistant Attorney General Thurman
Arnold should have decided to carry
his case to Congress. In fact, this
is what the Supreme Court, in effect,
has directed him to do.
From the several decisions an
nounced by the court in these labor
cases, the position of that tribunal is
clear. In brief, it is that the statutes
under which Mr.. Arnold has been
proceeding were not intended by
Congress to be applied against labor
unions, and that if punitive action
by the Federal Government in this
respect is necessary or desirable
Congress should authorize such ac-
ton by specific legislation. What
ever may be thought of this attitude
on the courts part in view Of the
manner in which some statutes have
been subjected to judicial interpre-
tation, the fact remains that the
position taken is fundamentally
right. It is subject with which Con-
gress ought to deal in the light OF
conditions as they exist today, and
no one should complain if Mr.. Ar
nold's action leads to thorough and
impartial consideration Of the ques-
tions he presents.
In substance, his complaint is that
labor unions, under laws which have
been passed and the interpretations
placed on them by the courts, have
acquired a power which Is beyond
the reach of any regulatory process,
and that this power has been seri-
ously abused to the detriment of
farmers, consumers and Independent
businessmen. This complaint from

Does God care?" is a query on the
lips of many people today. 1t is obviously
a thoughtless question and is asked with
out reflection. Does a father or mother
care when q son or daughter violates
the moral standards of the home and
brings shame and disgrace to 1t? Ger
tainly the parents care and care deeply,
but should they be made responsible for
the moral dereliction of their child? In
homes OF unimpeachable character. fire.
quentfy where religion Is consistently
practiced, such things happen.
There is a passage in the Bible that
men find hard to accept, and yet it is
logically true: whatsoever q man
soweth that shall he also .eep." Doubt
less millions Of people over the world
are asking today as they read Of disasters
on sea and land, with lives needlessly
sacrificed as they conceive 1t. docs God
care? Why does He permit such evils
to 60 on?" They refuse to face the facts
or to reckon with the causes that pro.
duce the worlds tragedies. They will not
reckon with the sins. individual and col
lective, that produce evils Of every kind.
They assume that God is a super-police-
man to arrest and penalize every offender
and to correct every ofense before 1t be-
comes a menace to society at large. BY
the same reasoning He should abolish
all disease by compelling all men to
recognize the cardinal laws of hygiene
and sanitation, In fine, save them from
their own follies and weaknesses. Such
people refuse to recognize that man is
free by his own will to pursue his own
way. There are few evils in life that
are not generated by mans own will.
He reaps what he sows. True, the evil
he does, like pestilential disease spreads
to others and vitality affects them. On
the other hand where scientific knowl-
edge with its prescribed and tested rules
for dealing with diseases are observed
and enforced. communities are spared the
ravages of an epidemic.
Wars come, and this one in particular
has come, because Gods laws for equi-
table. Just and righteous human relations
have been violated. He has designed to
knit the races OF men in q great uni
versal fellowship: Jesus Christ expressed
1t as q brotherhood. He has prescribed
rules and regulations governing . world
order in peace and amity and good will.

Whose Ok Is Gored?

The local income tax law, both as
written and subsequently as inter-
preted. is so unfair in its grossly dis
criminatory provisions against Dis
trict taxpayers that it would never
stand on the statute books of any
other jurisdiction in the United
States. 1t is slanted in favor Of tax
payers who have the vote and against
the taxpayers who have no vote.
And the chance for remedy is there
fore slim.
Now, however, a clause of this un-
fair tax law which injuriously affects
voting taxpayers has been called to
the attention Of the legislators solely
responsible for It's inclusion in the
law, and the legislators are quick to
agree that it should be removed i'm
mediately. Some OF them even
threaten local taxing authorities,
making an honest effort to admins
ter the law as it is written by an ex-
clusively responsible Congress, with
reprisals against the local community
Of taxpayers unless the offensive
provision is removed or allowed to
lapse.
The provision seems, on the face
OF 1t, to be unfair; to be extremely
difficult of administration and to
constitute a trade barrier against
the District which should be elm
mated. Most State income tax laws,
including the local law, are written
to tax nonresident corporations
maintaining branch offices for the
conduct of business within the tax
ing State. That is generally accept
able. But in only three laws, those
Of California, Missouri and the Dis
trict of Columbia, is there the pro-
vision for taxing income from
sources within the: State" even
though the source may be business
resulting from solicitation OF a re-
taller by travelling salesman or a
letter. And according to testimony,
only in the District is there found
evident determination to enforce the
provision to the point that whole
salers doing business in the District
through local retailers are to be taxed
5 per cent on the net profits arising
from that business. This is obvious
multiple taxation on the same trans
action and, except for a recent
amendment, would be practically
unenforceable.
The recent amendment requires a
$40 license fee to do business in the
District and empowers local tax
authorities to seize as much as S per
cent of a wholesalers unpaid in
voice price for goods purchased by a
retailer, if the wholesaler has filed
no tax return. Or the license can
be withdrawn if the out-of-to cor
poration fails to file a return.
Naturally, out-oftown corpora
tions have protested against this
provision, which applies nowhere ex-
cept in the District, and have been
quick to ask for its repeal. It should
be repealed. But the speed with
which it is repealed. or its interpre-
tation changed, will depend upon

Tale of q Tub

A recent survey Of accident sta
tistics shows that more accidents
occur at home than anywhere else,
that the deadliest spot in the home
is the bathroom, and the very acme
Of peril the bathtub itself. It Is a
white shining monster ready to lure
victims into falling against its slip
perry sides and to help electrocute
them if they take a chance on turn
ing electrical fixtures on or off while
sitting in water. In sharp contrast,
the U. S. Medical Corps reports that
parachute jumping is hardly danger
GUS at all.
Parents Of small children would do
well to suppress this news if pos
siple. Already faced with over
whelming difficulty in getting the
youngsters to take bath, what will
they do now? Suppose some blue
eyed cherub asks mother if she would
make him take a parachute Jump.
Obviously mother has to answer in
the negative, to avoid being charged
with premeditated murder. But.
continues the cherub, according to
combined reports of accident COM
missions and the Medical Corps,
taking q bath is far more deadly.

ment somewhere. Professors of logic

salaries and claims is being expedited
as rapidly as possible. There are SO
many different departments for which
money has to be disbursed that it is
