Refusal of the railroad executives to accept President Harding's proposal for a settlement of the strike of the shop craftsmen would seem on hasty consideration of the matter to put upon them the burden of responsi- bility for the continuance of the trouble, which is daily increasing the difficulty. of moving the tralns upon which the country’s welfare depends. But that rejection is based upon grounds that cannot be refuted, and when the question is viewed in its larger aspect it must seem that the executives have taken a position that will be sustained by public opinion. The whole case turns upon the 80- called seniority issue. Are the men who voluntarily quit their jobs, in refusal to accept the findings of the legally constituted board of awards, to be restored to their former status without loss of priority rights? Are the men who remained at work, in loyalty to their employers and to the law, to-suffer loss of ratings &s men who were their seniors in service, but who struck, return to duty? Are men who were engaged to fill the places of strikers, on distinct promises of continuous employment, to be dis- missed to make room for returning strikers? 1Is the seniority rule, which Tas the sanction of the wage board's decisions, to be scrapped in order to ng about an agreement by the striking shop craftsmen to abide by the rulings of that board now and hereafter? This question has vexed employers t practically every strike. The op- eratives who quit in a body in pro- test against wage reductlons, or to enforce demands for wage increases, have uniformly held that they thereby forfeited no rights as employes. In short, the fundamental principle of the strike is that wholesale quitting, in an effort to cause loss to the em- ployer, is merely a “vacation,” in which the striker loses nothing but his wages during the time he is out of work. The railroad executives now take the contrary view that when men strike they abandon their posts and must come back as vacancies permit. This is a vital question. Does the public welfare at this time demand that it be answered in terms to yield an Immediate resumption of fuli rail- road service, regardless of the effect! upon the future? It cannot be said that there-is anything novel about it. Before the shop craftsmen quit they were warned that striking would en- tail forfeiture of senfority. TImmedi- ately after the strike occurred the Railrcad Labor Board called public attention to the fact that the men had voluntarily relinquished their po- sitions and that their successors were entitled to full protection and to defi- rite rights as employes. 1t is suggested that the issue raised by the railroad executives is only aca- demic; that, in fact, the men who have been taken on in place of strikers are not of a type to remain | anyway, and that their deprival of seniority over the returning strikers would not actually affect them. That {= an avoidance of the principle for which the executives now stand, e principle which must be maintained or the stability of all business or- ganization in this country is threat- ened. Moreover, it ignores the fact that full restoration of seniority rights to the strikers involves a pen- alty upon the men who remained on duty, many of whom would have to yield rank. g The strike is in itself a defiance of the law, a flouting of the legally octablished means of adjusting mn.i 1 l I I road wages and working conditions. It should be settled on the basis of the first two of the President's proposals, the third having been proved impos- sible: Those conditions are that both sides agree to recognize the validity of all decisions of the labor board and that the carriers will withdraw all lawsuits growing out of the strike, the board decisions involvéd to be taken back to the board for rehearing. —_——— ‘ Russians are beginning to give as- surance that they will respect the property, of foreign investors by show- ing consideration of the property of one ancther. ——————————— Life should be comparatively easy for Eugene Debs. Having had the great good fortune to get out of the penitentiary, all that is necessary is for him to keep quiet and remain out. The Commissioners’ Estimates. Lstimates totaling approximately $31,500,000 are submitted by the Com- “ missioners to the budget bureau as their broad figures for, the proper maintenance of the District govern- ment during the coming fiscal year. This is the largest estimate ever pre- pared at the District building. "It is not, however, unduly large. It repre- sents not only the natural increased cost of capital maintenance, but a heavy arrears of necessary public works, permanent improvements, es- sentlal equipment. It does mot, of course, follow that the entire ‘sum estimated by the Dis- trict Commissioners will be submitted by the budget bureau to Congress. Last year the Commissioners esti- mated. for appropriations of $27,537, 728.75, and the budget bureau reduced this amount by about $2,000,000. : The * House Dbill ‘carried a reduction still further of about $5,300,000 below the | the President’ budget bureau’s total.

Heavy cuts by the budget bureau and by Congress will simply add to these afrears of capital reduirements. ————————— The British Debt Note. Officially, perhaps, the note issued by the British government on the subject of the interallied indebtedness is no concern of the United States. It may be accepted as .comparable to a merchant sending out notice to his customers to the effect that, as he has heavy obligations to meet, he must insist upon prompt séttlement of their bills. It is no concern of the creditors of the merchant what method he takes to coplect his accounts. But, unofficially, the British note is bound to create a most unfortunate impression in this country. The word- {of the House and their records in that ing of it is not happy and it certainly will not tend either to the strength- ening of cordial relations between Great Britain and the United States or tq inspiring in American minds a greater degree of generosity in respect to the huge sums of money owed by the government of Europe to this government. 3 The British note argues that would be unjust to the British tax- payer for Britain to forgive the sums owed her by other nations so long as she had to pay the sums she owes the United States, but that the British government would favor all-around cancellation of interallled indebted- ness. And why should not the British government favor allaround cancel- lation? As the sums owed Great Brit- ain by other governments almost ex- actly equal the sums she owes this government the British taxpayers would have nothing to lose, and at little or no cost Britain would get the credit of large generosity. But the governmaents of Europe owe this gov- ernment in the neighborhood of eleven billion dollars, with no money owed to other governments as an offset, so thatfall-around cancellation would rep- resent a total loss to the United States, and the American taxpayer would be left to hold the bag. To makes considerable difference whose taxpayer is to be gored. The absence of logic in the British argument is less important than the presence of innuendo. The note says it cannot be agreeable to “generous minds” to insist upon these financial settlements, but by implication it is declared that so long as ungenerous minds—the minds of Americans,. of course—do insist upon, it, the gen- erous-minded British government has no alternative, however much it may jregret that the world situation must be looked upon “from this narrow financial standpoint.” But the feature of the note vhlebi will leave the most disagreeable taste in American mouths is the avowal of the British government that it has no desire to make a profit out of the loans it made to the allies. -“In no circumstances,” says the note, “do we propose to ask from our debtors more than is necessary to pay our creditors. And, while we do not gsk more, all will admit that we can hardly be content with less.” Laying aside the suggestion that the American government seeks profits from its war loans, this paragraph of the British note reaches the su- preme height of inconsistency. In one breath it declares the British govern- ment can wipe off.credits only to the | But not alone on holiday extent its debts are forgiven, and in The restricting statute has |order. been repealed, and thus the Commis- |either the Filipinos or the Americans i i { when such knowledge is very valuable it lon Capitol HilL I pays, can always be depended on even- due as & matter of justice, but it must the British government it evidently !be admitted that thire is & large nu'::- But the archipelago is not in dis- Conditions are' not all that would have, but the Stars and Stripes is an assurance—the only one—against outside interference, and while it remains the archipelago will be & sate for ‘men to work. out their own sal- vation.

It would have been a mistake to retire him, even for so able and attractive @ man as former Gov. Davis. Mr. Swanson feltasure of his ground. He remained on deck in the Senate, watching the progress of business and participating in the proceedings, leav- ing his fortunes at home in the hands of his friends.
