Rejection by the rallrad executives of the President’s plan for a settle- ment of the railroad strike because of thelr refusal to walve the senfority rules that prevail on most of the American lines does not preclude their acceptance of the latest plan, for a eubmission of the whole question, senfority Included. to the Rallroad Labor Board for decision. A meeting has been called for Friday, at which the executives will consider the ques- tion in its changed aspect. Indications are given that the executives will agree to submit the question to the Railroad Labor Board. 1t is unfortunate that this proposal was not made at the beginning rather than one which involved an outright vielding by the rail executives te the striking unions on a point which is of vital consequence in all matters of in- dustrial maintenance. Had it been proposed, as indeed it was understood to be contemplated, that both sides should submit all matters, seniority included, to the board, probably both would have agreed, and by’ this time the strike would have been ended and the roads would have been fully manned and speeding up toward-nor- mal operations. Iroad Labor Board has paved to a submission of the matter by the contending sides by the adop- tion of the resolution which expresses its willingness to consider the senfority question without prejudice. One of the labor members of the board tried to put it on record as rescinding the resolution of July 3 “in so far as that resolution has been interpreted to af- fect the question of seniority.” That resolution declared that as the strikers had left the service of the carriers they were “no longer employes of the railways" under the jurisdiction of the Labor Board. It went further to say that new employes were not “strike- breakers.” This was interpreted gen- erally as “outlawing” the strikers and as-placing them beyond the scope of any seniority rights. The board, how- ever, did not touch specifically upon the seniority question, and now de- clares its willingness to consider that question as a new one. In these circumstances it would seem to be altogether safe, from the point of view of their own interests, for both the executives and the em- ployes to agree to a reference of the whole matter, seniority included, to the wage boar The public interest in this matter is primarily for the restoration of peace. But the public also realizes that the seniority rule is of vital importance, not merely in the immediate adminis- tration of the rail lines, but in the maintenance of peace in the trans- portation Industry in the future. Yet this whole question turns upon recog- nition of the findings of the Rail Labor Board. If that body, or ang her sub- stituted for it by law, perhaps through amendment of thy present| statute, is accepted as the last court | of decision In matters pertalning to all forms of transportation labor, there should be no wholesale quitting. Therefore the seniority question will not become again a factor. The Presi-| dent's major proposal is that the two sides recognize and abide by the Labor Board as the deciding factor in all dis- putes. That done, the way to peace, not merely for the present but for so long as this system of adjustment stands, s open. And it is peace that the country demands. ———————— The railroad business has recently involved a large amount of hard work without results.

Is Germany Going Dry? A straw vote favoring prohibition in Germany is certainly a surprising phenomenon. It is, of course, not a concluslve evidence of German senti- ment, for it was taken in only one po- lice precinct in Bielefeld, a city in Westphalia of perhaps 50,000 inhabi- tants. Out of 14,069 qualified voters, 32,626 voted for prohibition, 416 against and 1,022 declined to vote, with five “missing.” The organization which conducted this test of sentiment plans to take similar votes in other parts of the country. Undoubtedly the tremendous majority of ‘“dry” sentiment at Bielefeld will encourage the organization to continue. Prohibition Germany would, indeed, be a novelty. But there has been a great change in that country since 1914. Germany’s most severe critics must admit that a new spirit is mani- test there. When the war ended and the political readjustment was effect- ed the people settled down to hard work. They “found themselves” much more quickly than those of the other warring nations. They have a strong incentive. They want to rid them- selves as quickly as possible by nego- tiation and concession or by actual pavment of the heavy debt of in- demnity. They have put their man power and woman power, too, to work much more efficlently than certain other countries, and the consequence 1+ that Germany is regaining her for- _pien market at a rate thal js alarm.| that one of the sure resuits of the war would be the eviction of Germany from the trade of the world for many years to come. . The soclety that is promoting these prohibition test votes in Germany puts the matter primarily upon an eco- nomic basis. Germany, it says, wastes an average of three and & half billions in gold marks annually on alcohol. ‘This, it declares, will be sufficlent to “shake off the yoke of the reparations burden and all its bitter accompany- ing effeets.” In short, says the com- mittee in effect, let us stop drinking and conserve our economic enérgies. In previous statements by the Ger- man prohibition committee the fact has been noted that English indus- trial “man power has been greatly diminished by reason of the national habit of alcoholic consumption. It is, therefore, now the slogan of the dry party in Germany to beat the English in the industrial war by raising the individual efficiency of the German workman through abstinence. The Blelefeld vote may be an indication that this appeal is effective, and that the German people are ready to sacri- fice alcohol as a means of peaceful conquest. Japanese Alertness. From Seattle: With the Intention of stimulating and rebuilding trade relations be- tween Japan, Brazll, Argentina and other South American countries, and also representing Japan at the formal opening of the centennial exposition of Brazif, to begin at Rio de Janeiro September 17, a party of nineteen busi- ness men of Japan reached Seattle this week on the Shipping Board steamer President McKinley, leaving for the east via Portland, San Fran- clsco, Chicago, Washington, Boston and New York. Before the European war Japan's trade with Brazil, Ar- gentina and several other nations of South America amounted to $18,000,- 000 per annum. This, however, dwindled until it is less than $2,000,- 000 annually. According to Mr. Yama- shina, the delegates will attempt to do ali that 1s possible to recreate the prewar trade. At all times, Japan is alive to her own interests. She never loses sight of them. She improves all opportuni- tics for forwarding them. She is a competitor of ours for foreign trade, and knows the value of the South American field. We shall meet her there, and should be ready for her. Important is it for us to remember also that she has a merchant marine, which she assists and which functions profitably for her. She is not depend- ent on other countries for bottoms in which to deliver her goods. She de- livers them herself, and for that rea- son is the better prepared to solicit and spread foreign trade. It will be idle for us to hope for suc- cess against competition anywhere so equipped unless we equip ourselves for the contest. Unless we are independ- ent in this particular—have bottoms of our own, and operate them accord- ing to policles which have Jjustified themselves elsewhere—we shall fail of our efforts. Let us congratulate Japan on her alertness and enterprise, and get similar move on ourselves. The oppor- tunity is at hand, and beckons. ——————— Mr. Wilson as Healer. Notwithstanding the result in Mis- souri, Mr. Wilson's indorsement is still prized by democratic aspirants for of- fice. Yesterday Representative Gar- rett of Tennessee, who has just been renominated, gave out the following dispatch received from the former President: “My sincere congratula- tions. You could not be spared.” There is, of course, & wide difference between this case and that of Breckin- ridge Long. Mr. Garrett has won his fight within the democratic party, and now as the democratic nominee faces his republican opponent. With all propriety, therefore, Mr. Wilson, who keeps up his interest in all things democratic, expresses his wish for Mr. Garrett's election, and with all pro- priety Mr. Garrett makes that wish known. In the case of Mr. Long, Mr. Wilson interfered between two democrats. He not only indorsed Mr. Long, but roundly condemned Mr. Reed, and the Missouri democrats resented the act. Mr. Reed as the democratic nominee for senator now faces his republican opponent, and unless all democratic divisions in the state are healed—all traces of the recent bitter primary obliterated—democratic success in No- vember will be doubtful. The repub- licans may draw the prize. ‘Will Mr. Wilson play the part of healer? WIll he, by letter to Mr. Long, or otherwise, advise support of the democratic nominee? There is much curlosity on this point. ——— American apprehension of cheap manufacture abroad may be somewhat allayed by the advance in the cost of living of which Germany now com- plains.

Although it is hoped that the Presi- dent’s latest proposal will lead to & settlement of the rail strike soon, yet it is desirable to have the truth re- garding the condition of the rolling stock and “power” of the rail lines definitely made known. Since the strike began representatives of the unions have contended with increasing emphasis that the equipment of the lines was rapidly deteriorating, and that the public is actually in danger in consequence of the use of undepend- able locomotives and cars. On the other hand, the railroad officials have declared that the equipment has not suffered nearly so much as the unions have asserted, that none but depend- able rolling stock has been used, and that the shops, while not fully manned, have been able to care for all neces- sary repairs. Yesterday the Senate adopted a resolution calling upon the Interstate Commerce Commission for 2 report to detetmine whether the law requiring the maintenance of safe and dependable -equipment is being ob- served and enforced. If that report is made promptly it will throw an im- the shopmen quit work that the roll- ing stock, and particulerly the “power,” would suffer. The sole ques- tion at the outset was whether the roads could keep up the repairs to the point required by schedule operation. The first effect noted was the with- drawal of certain passenger trains. On some lines the withdrawals were heavier than on others. Butut once the question arose whether this was due to inadequate equipment or & deple- tion of the coal supply. The railroads attributed the withdrawals chiefly to the fuel factor, and the unions point- ed to them as sure indication of falling equipment. Then again trains were repeatedly reported as late. The unions, through thelr watchful repre- sentatives, noted every tardy train, and saw to it that the public was in. formed. Now the Interstate Commerce Com- mission may disclose the facts regard- ing the equipment. It will be of vital importance to the traveling public to know whether the laws which are written to insure safety have in any degree been ignored. The Distriot's Roads. Specific descriptions of the condition of the suburban roads of the District are being printed in the news columns of The Star at present in the hope of stimulating repair work by the Dis- trict government under such appro- priations as may be avallable for this purpose, or of obtaining through the budget just now being prepared ap- propriations for later expenditure. Scarcely a road in the District outside of the paved urban area is up to mark. The general average of these highway surfaces is low. Some of the roads are positively dangerous. ©ver them traffic must move slowly to avoid breakdowns and accidents. The “wear and tear” on motors in the course of a month’s running over these roads constitutes a heavy tax. If these conditions obtained only on the minor roads, feeders to the main lines of travel or intersecting routes, it would not be so hard to bear. But the main arteries themselves are in deplorable shape through lack of re- pairs or complete reconstruction. ‘Washington has in the past enjoyed the reputation of being the best paved city in the country. It no longer has that reputation. Even the urban streets are not up to the mark of former years, actually or relatively. As for the outside roads they have never kept pace with the suburban roads of other large citles. The Commissioners have recognized this fact, and have for years been seeking larger funds for country road repairs and maintenance, but they have found their estimates pruned, sometimes cut more than half under the needs. Now the hope is that with the removal of the restrictions requir- ing them to keep their estimates with- in the limits of estimated revenues they will be able so strongly to pre- sent the case of road maintenance that Corgress, the members of which un- doubtedly know by personal experi- ence of the sad state of the suburban highways, will grant a sufficient amount in next year's appropriations to bring the District's suburban road surfaces up to the highest possible mark. 4 A French actress has created a sen- sation by taking a pink pig to a bath- ing beach.

It is true that I have gathered numerous ears of corn and the other night just before my wife left for the shore we had some of the aforesaid corn. It was deliclous, but I could not help thinking of the sixty days’ work I had done for the privilege of hav- Ing ten minutes fun eating my own corn.” PR LITTLE red-headed youngster who traveled on the train with me the other day was quite observant and his keenness of sight resulted in a great deal of embarrassment to the fond parent that was with bim.

Few edltorial writers, commenting on the result of the first Texas pri- mary election, stop to discuss the elimination from public life of Sena- tor Culberson, one of the best known figures in the Senate. Instead interest centers on the Issue of the Ku Klux Klan. The fact that the candidate supported by that organization won first place on the ballot is considered significant in the extreme, and in the coming run-off it s conceded the question of the ‘invisible empire” and its political future must forge to the front. “It 18 clear,” the New York Post is convinced, “that at least half of the democrats in Texas, temporarily ac- quliesce in, if they do not actualiy fa- vor, the Klan's operations. The race and religlous platform is the Klan's strongest appeal. It caplitalizes an- clent prejudice and present interest. Texas wifl live down this affliction as she will live down the boll weevil and Blanton.” In the opinion of the Springfiefild Republican “the run-off is a particularly valuable safeguard in a state like Texas,” and It expects Mayfleld to “be eliminated” through this method. But, regardless of the local issues involved, or of the Klan itself, the Akron Beacon Journal sees a continuation of the progressive sweep In the result in Texas, because f Culberson had been a republican he would have trained with the crowd that voted for Newberry and taken orders from the bosses. Being a democrat, he talked the platitudes and periods of the old school, became | involved in his party's factional quar- | rels, and has now wound up safely in the great outdoors. The big state has the habit of giving the big fellows the hook when they no longer please. Senator Joe Balley and Col. E. M House are examples of that.” Issue is taken with the generally accepted bellef that the Klan scored heavily in the primary by no less an authority than the Dallas Journal, which points out that “in practically all contests where but two candidates were entered the anti-Klan candidate was victorious, while in contests for a state office in which more than two candidates were entered a run- oft between a Klan candidate and an anti-Klan candidate will be necessi- tated. This indicates, if it does not prove conclusively, that the majority sentiment of Texas does not favor invisible government of the state’s policies.” The Journal, however, ad- mits that in local contests this rule did_not hold good, and especially in Dallas county the Klan scored a complete victory. The New York Evening World, after analyzing these facts, points out that “Texas may well follow the North Dakota example. If Mayfleld can be defeated In the ‘run-oft’ well and good. If not, then enough democrats should join with the Texas repub- licans and make another determined effort in November.” But the hope of the anti-Klan faction should be in the run-off, in the opinion of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, inasmuch as “the Ku Klux Klan is a mischievous influence, and we shall be surprised if after due consideration the voters of any state decide to permit the organ- ization to choose their senator at ‘Washington. We can imagine no cir- cumstance more thoroughly disquali- fying a candidate than that he solicits the active support of the Ku Klux Klan.” Tribute to Culberson’s worth in the Benate is pald by the Knoxville Sen- tinel, which declares that “it was an instance of the irony of politics so frequently exemplified that the plum aid not fall to the faithful senator. Senator Ci 'berson’s decisive defeat is to be attriouted to the fact that he opposed and condemned the Ku Klux Klan organization in Texas. The lan is given credit for having indorsed the winners in the dem cratic primaries along the whole line and to' have achieved a sweeping victory in its initial ay.’” In the run-off it “will be the in- visible empire against American in- stitutions,” the Nashville Tennessean ints out, because ‘“the people of Rxn are on trial before the natio: and we believe that the pure Angl Saxon blood which courses througl the veins of our southern neighbors will assert itself and consign to oblivion the candidate of am organ- Ization that would usurp the powers of government and substitute an era of racial and religioug prejudice for one of tolerance and good feeling."
