They strike against a slight reduction in their pay ordered by the federal labor board. ‘ The public demanded and-through the interstate commerce commission and the railroads have re- ceived substantial Sap ees ey rates. This WAS Necess: to the gene! welfare. Rattroatl acute in the meantime showed that rates could not be reduced without ‘reducing the la- bor cost of conducting transportation. The United States railroad labor board after an exhausiys investigation and having issued an order effective July 1, 1922, which while reducing wages still leaves the hourly rates-of pay of shopmen from 29.63 to 90.91 per-cent higher than in 1917, as shown by the following: Shopmen— Dec. 17 July "22 M&chinists ...- 51 70 ‘Boilermakers a4 70 Blacksmiths . 70 Sheet Metal Workers ‘Electricians ~ Molders ..- Helpers, Locomotive Dept.

The order of the board also left the pay of com- mmon railroad track labor from 55.5 to 65.7 per cent higher than in 1917. Since 1917 the rates of pay of railroad employes have been fixed entirely either by the United States Railroad Administration or the United State Rail- road Labor board, both of them representing the government, which after all is the people. During and in fact subsequent to the close of the war the pay of railroad labor was increased. Three times orders were issued making large increases until the Jabor cost of transportation consumed more than 60 cents-of every dollar taken in by the railroads. With a pronounced fall in the cost of living and that rates might be reduced, business revived and the pay of railroad labor brought down nearer to a luvel with that obtaming in other industries, the labor board has ordered two reductions in rates of pay but the three increases previously received were so great that even after two reductions the rates of pay of shop and track labor are still about 50 per cent higher than in 1917 whereas as shown by gov- ersment reports the cost of living is but-17 per cent higher. During and since the war railroad employes cheerfully accepted the orders of the administrative and labor board giving them an increase. The gen- eral public already over-burdened bore the burden of these increases without complaint. The strike may continue indefinitely or be brought up short by government agencies. Proper means for adjustments of just such matters as these have been provided and are fair orderly and just to all concerned. That will be one reason for withholding public support. Another will be the right of the unemployed to work at jobs deserted by ofhers. The sentiment, that a man has a right to work and earn a living for his family regardless of the orders of so-called labor leaders, is rapidly spreading over the country. All organizations will do well to readjust them- felves to this one fundamental principle—the right to work and the right to live—if they hope to sur- vive yee The Way to the Sea ‘AS A RULE the New York state 3 es <* pecially thé down state papers have shown noth- ing but prejudice against the St. Lawrence water- way project, if not abolute unfairness to it. It is therefore rather pleasant to come in contact with the following article on the subject in the Pough- keepsie Courier, which deals senibly, broadly and with eminent fairness to the international project: “For more than a generation the west has been seeking the way to the sea in ships. This survival of an old notion has brought into being recent en- thusiastic support in that section of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway project. The west is growing—it has greater wants and needs. - New ‘York will heed its call. “Effective transportation depends 4 and prosperity in doing so, | Hf Pee TIME was in: this country when there was canals that can be devised. The check upon Amer- at Caper, Natrona|ica’s progress is not because of lack of railroad facilities at the big terminals. and ports. “New York which is America’s greatest indus- trial city and greatest port, has provided at a cost of matty hundred of millions of dollars the finest passenger terminals to be found in the world. In eontrast to this the receipt and th-. band- ling of freight is slowed up and the methcds of transferring it by lighters and horse trucks are archaic. Improvements made in freight destribu- tion in New York City are slight indeed compared j to the advances made in the field of passenger) traffic. | “The Port Authority plan calls for the expendi- ture of $20,000,000 in improved frieght termizals and tunnels—it is canceded that by the time this money is traffic will have caught up and} passed-the new facilities provided for it. While this} plan is being worked out other plans should be| under way so that New York will meet every de-| mand of the west and promote its own progress “The. west will need to use all economic transpor- | tation facilities. The statement by Elisha Lee of the Pennsylvania is undisputed that railway ton- nage doubles every ten years. Tonnage overtook facilities ten or fifteen years ago. Since then in every season of heayy movement the railroads have | buckled under the load; they did so in 1920—with| the accumulation of wartime trubles to intensify the difficulty they broke down entirely. “Railway men generally agree with Mr. Lee that! when the normal volume of business is resumed the| railroads will be wholly unequal to the duty laid upon them and they cannot by any possibility be/| made equal to that duty except as a well balanced | system of transportation is plamned and devel-| oped. “To one in the middle west that means that they must have the best possible development of the lines reaching the Atlantic ports, the best possible de! velopment of the lines reaching the gulf, the best possible development of the Panama-Pacific route and opening of some outlet to the ocean from the Great Lakes. It means that to Eastern shippers also... If the railroads break down under the load of western production our service also is impaired of not destroyed. “It was the experience of the west through the closing of the Atlantic ports in 1920 that started the demand for a St. Lawrence outlet. The erec- tion of more railroad bridges over the Hudson river and the extension of the port of New York up this deep waterway (now unused) to connect with railroads outside of the area df freight congestion, is a move in the right direction. The west is eager and stands ready to consider all these projects on their merits which are shown to be essential or helpful to the national transportation system.” Religion in Politics more of religion in politics than there is \tion in the present day.

What is true of large cities is true in lesser de. gree of many smaller genes. Chicago has had a reign of crime and misgov- ernment for several years. The good people of that city have long desired deliverance. They have the means in‘their own hands if they but used it for there is no community where the moral does not outnumber the immoral population. The Evening Post of that city makes a plea for religion in politics which ought to reach the con- sciousness of the better folks of that city and arouse them to action. It says: “*Religion has no business in ptlitics’ We used to hear that statement frequently. We still hear it more often than the increasing intelligence of our times justifics. “If religion has no businese in politics, then the man who believes in God has no business being a citizen, he has no business voting, he has no busi- ness. being a candidate for office or holding office. A man of religious faith must either take it into politics or deny it. The test of the sincerity of a man’s religion may be found in the.way he marks his ballot. “We are speaking now of religious faith in its broadest sense—the faith that makes for righteous- ness, whether it be Protestant, Catholic or Jewish. We agree that politics is no sphere for the fighting of battles over religious differences, but we insist it is a sphere in which all men, of whatever creed, who believe in God, and so believe in a moral order, in decency, honesty, justice and the supreme im- portance of spirtual values, must unite to win for their faith a victory over the opposing forces of evil. } “To be specific—and it is useless to talk of re- ligion and practical polities in other than specific terms—the men and women of Chicago who profess relgious faith could redeem this city from corrup- tion, disorder, lawlessnes, bootlegging and vice if they would put their faith to work in civic affairs and make it count effectively on primary and elec- tion days. “Tie conditions which called—and which are de prayer meetings, exist be good citizens neglect to ster, or are too busy to vote, or because ma them, when they do vote, allow themselves to be influenced by party or factional considerations, business interests, lodge affiliations—anything but their duty to God. “It is not the practical politicians who are most deserving of condemnation for the flagrant and abominable evils which obtain in Chicago. Judg- ment must begin at “the house of God.” The neg- | lect and faithlessness of the church people, who are overwhelmingly the balance of power in any pri- shock good citizens—so alored in sermons and P so many of these {= see the Volstead act repealed and the Eighteenth Ede Casper Dally Cxtdune MY!

Its Sunday locomotive puffs impressive- ly, but when it pulls out of the station the Monday- ‘Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday - Friday-Saturday train of mixed freight and passenger cars is left behind. “Chicago will give religion an opportunity to prove itself this fall.

Hwai Shan describes the dwellings made of blocks of sun dried mud, which housed many people, a de- scription which fits the pueblos of an- cient America. He mentions a plant used in making cordage and paper, which afforded vegetable milk and which yielded tender edible sprouts. The maguey piant answers this de- scription.

A few years ago the Chinese gov- ernment directed its historian to make @ search of the imperial records, and from them came the foregoing ac- count. Whatever credit may be given to the story, it js well to bear in mind that steady winds are blowing from the Chinese coast to the American coast and that Chinese and Japanese junks in thousands sailed the nearby coast of Asia. That in the course of time @ of the’ junks were blown across the ocean must have been cer- tain, puritanic town.

He filled her lap with pretty flowers, they fed the birds and squtrreis, He patted her upon the cheek and stroked her auburn curls. Striving After Excellence The great English statesman, Wil- lam E. Gladstone, is quoted as say- ing: “But now let us not conceive that, because the love of beauty finds for itself a place in the general heart of mankind, therefore we need never make it the object of a special atten- tion or put in action spectal means to promote and to uphold it. For after all, our attachment to it is a matter of degree, and of degree which experience has shown to be im different places, and at different times, indefinitely variable. We may not be able to re- Produce the age of Pericles, or even that which is known as the Cinque- cento; but yet it depends upon our own choice, whether we shall or shall not have a title to claim kindred, how- ever, remotely, with either, aye or with both, of those brilliant periods. What we are bound to js this: to take care that everything we produce shall, in its kind and class, be as good as we can make it. When Dr. Johnson was asked by Mr. Boswell, how he bad attained to his extraordinary ex- cellence in conversation, he replied, he had no other rule or system than this that, whenever he had anything to say, he tried to say it in the best manner he was able. It is this per- petual striving after excellence on the one hand, or the want of such effort on the other, which more than the original difference of gifts contributes ‘With deadly purpose in the looks and grim, determined mien.

Religion has largely left it to this unsavory and crime-promoting comradeship. ‘Politics is too di to tonch’ says the respectable and finicky church man, forgetting that his God-given job is to help make a dirty world cleaner. So gambling flourishes, vice is protected, bootleggers are secure in their traffic, corruption spreads from the unholy alliance of politics and sin into labor unionism and business. Childhood and youth are demoralized and betrayed. After singing ‘rescue the perishing’ the congrega- tion is dismissed with the benediction. “If politics is to be good for anything it must be practical, If religion is to be good for anything it must be practical. “The question is, for what is politcis to be good?
