Because of alleged delay on the part of the supreme court in rendering a de- cision on the constitutionality of the law that gave the wage increase. The law was upheld by a 5-to- 4 decision. The result, had the court's decision been otherwise, we leave to your own conjecture. And yet again. In December, of the same year, the brotherhoods submitted new demands, with the hint of strike, if compliance. was not cheerfully rendered... Rapidly following this ‘the roads were taken over by the government and then a long series of wage advances, granted by Director- General Mc-Adoo whenever requested by. the em- ployes, The people paid and they are not yet through paying the bill. In August, 1919, came the strike that tied up everything in the vicinity of Chicago and spread over the -ountry; and in April, 1920, the nation had to face the notorious outlaw strike centering at Chicago and affecting the entire transportation system of the country, prohibiting the distribution of supplies of foodstuffs, fuel and other necessaries jof life bringing suffering and famine upon the jhelpless people. Every one of these’ strikes and threats of strikes were for the alleged purpose of keeping |pace with the rising cost of living. No other in- |terest in the country obtained such. unreasonable advances, and many fully as important to public welfare received no advance whatsoever. The ar- |gument of the brotherhoods was inherently false and absolutely without justice. The nation was compelled to meet billions of dollars in war costs { JOIN YOUR LEGION POST George Vroman Post, American Legion, is en- gaged in a campaign, this week, to have its mem- bership of eight hundred clear of the records so far as dues are concerned, and to increase its! membership to one thousand. Committeemen are at work in every direction with every prospect of success. There are enough eligibles in the city and county to bring the total to a thousand very handily if the laggards but realized the value and benefits of membership. These things, of course, will be appreciated as time goes on, but no up- holder of the flog, no difference in what capacity he rendered service, should fail to associate him-| self with his fellows. A soldier of the republic—is a mighty proud title ! today, and it will be enhanced §s jwe recede from the time of actual service. The day will come when the boys are older than now and later still a day when the failure to} answer roll call grows more and more noticeable, It is in that day that the comrades of the great war will be drawn closer together and their legion} post will mean much to them. Casper has a pride in maintaining the largest post in Wyoming. It is a pride that all should help maintain and all should share. And those who have so far failed to enroll, should, at any reasonable sacrifice see that their names. are writ- en upon the scroll. You owe this to your fellow legionnaires, your| city and your country. a ig AS COERCION AND ITS RESULTS There is but little difference in the strike threat at Chicago at this time than was observable in the series that has interspersed history during the past five years. It is the same old coercion. It is aimed at the Federal Labor Board this time. In the past it was the railroad administration, presi- dent, congress and the supreme court in turn. The Railway Labor Board is in session to ad- just the differences between the employes and the railway executives. Previous strike threats came when the country was straining itself to furnish supplies to the allies, exerting every ounce of energy in war upon its! own account, or groping to recover from the ef- fects, of conflict. Using the abnormal industrial’ situations cre- ated by these events as a fulcrum and the strike| as the lever the brotherhoods sought to compel | acquiscence to their demands. Conditions are still more or less abnormal; but time and circumstances have wrought change and the aspect is less formidable. Thousands of rail- way men are at present out of work and therefore the strike threat loses considerable of its terror. | It is realized that it would be no difficult matter to find men to take the place of strikers who might choose to throw down their employment. The arrogance of the brotherhoods began in 1916 with the passage of the Adamson law, when | the country was treated to the spectacle of a very small contingent, an inconsiderable minority throwing down the gauntlet to an American presi-| dent and an American congress, and the further humiliation of abject surrender by this chief execu- tive and these law-makers. The American people were sickened by the meckness displayed. That particular president has been consistent in his | spinless submission ever since. It was in August, 1916, that the Adamson law | was passed. It was pure and simple a wage in-| crease. The indignation among patriotic people, | including many Democrats, knew no bounds. The | Democratic president pro tempore of the senate) actually refused to sign the bill. In March, 1917, just as America, having been ’ jand the sacrifice fell alike upon all. | The plea of the brotherhood leaders for those wage schedules is even more reprehensible today than it was when originally granted. All along the line deflation is taking place. The price of every product, practically, is going down and tak- ing with it the rate of wages that entered into its |production. The railway schedules, only, have not suffered decrease because they have been pro- tected by an arbitrary and artificial arrangement. known as the national agreement, which . the jroads themselves are prohibited from abrogating. | The labor board will find itself strongly sup- ported by the people if it orders the lowering of |wage rates, inordinate when. granted and now al- |most the sole remaining portion’ of the industrial ‘structure that has not visded to the forces of de- flation. VON BERNSTORFF TELLS THEM t The day was when Count Von. Bernstorff en- joyed the esteem and confidence of the whole peo- ple of this nation. He betrayed that trust in a |most contemptible manner. He not only de- ‘ceived and lied to us, When we were honest with him, and his fatherland, but he plotted our down- fall and destruction. He did these things out of his faithfulness to the German Empire, which he at the time repre- sented as its ambassador to the country whose hospitality he at the last abused. Since he returned to his own land which was jhumiliated in the great war, he has figured only |occasionally in the public, In_all he has said and done is the assumption jthat America would forgive and forget all Oe a \singular the incidents that determined her to en- {gage in the conflict. It is true, America:will re- so restored. American character and misjudges American atti- tude. He has committed the unpardonable sin. Absolutely right, considered as a detached and concrete proposition, is he in his declaration to hi own people, when he characterizes the allied de- |cisions on reparations as a bad bill of exchange |which would proye payable only by America’s | endorsement. Only by the assistance of America would Ger- jmany be able to fulfill her pledges and to this end it would be necessary for America to! intervene, i in |some manner, with the entente powers, is the Von Bernstorff view. ' Economic motives were the only thing which would force a revision of the treaty of Versailles |arid it would be dangerous to make America sus- picious by overtures of friendship without the eco- frank suggestions of friendship would prove coun- \teractant. This would all be very fine and soft for Ger- many to be pulled out of the hole. And later |America will doubtless do her: full duty and more, |but she will in her own way satisfy. herself of Ger- many’s economical status. “Von Bernstorff may jagain be deceiving us. It is likely true, that Lloyd George knew exactly ermany’s ability to meet the reparations levy made by the allies and fixed at fifty-five billions. If Germany is ever to get any help she will |first have to get into the collar and cease stalling |and whining. °.
