Another effort is being made today to settle the railroad strike by direct conference between representatives of the big four brotherhoods and theé rail- { road executives in New York city. The | “big four” chiefs hope to act as in- termediaries for the striking shop craftsmen, and will probably present @ seniority compromise proposal, trusting that it may be acceptable to sthe executives. An unofficial outline | of such a proposal has been made pub- | lic. embracing these main points: That | 1he question of seniority be left to the | individual railroads, thus freeing them from the recent action of the majority of the executives: that full seniority be | guaranteed to the men who remained at work, returning strikers and new men to be considered on their merits in respect to efficiency; all pension rights to be restored regardless of the strike. It is especially significant that the Jeaders of the brotherhoods are taking the initiative in this crisis to seek to effect a settlement. Plainly from the i these organizations have not wished to join the strikes There are signs, indeed. that they disapproved | of the walkout on the ground that it was unwarranted in view of the find- i thei i of the Labor Beard, and unwise in that it lacked public support. The leaders reluctantly gave authorization to their men to quit work if they found ¢ conditions intolerable through bad equipment or the presence of armed guards, and were prompt to condemn the precipitate action of the crews in the west who abandoned their charges in the desert on a pretense of undue risk in operating the trains. The good offices of these brotherhood chiefs may now serve effectively to not involve a sacrifice of the seniority principle by the railroads, and will. at | the same time, secure to the returning workers some measure of protection aguinst complete loss. The case has rcached the point where a compromise is nccessary unless the strike develop into a general rail tie-up and a bitter, costly finish fight, with the govern- ment standing ready to take drastic action as a final remedy for an intol- erable condition. Mr. Knight's Resignation. Representative Knight of Ohio, in a statement issued yvesterday explaining his purpose soon to resign from Con- gress, said that “in his judgment the republicans of Ohio in the recent pri- ntaries had indorsed the administra- tion's legislative program, and that as | he could not support such measures as | the tariff and the ship subsidy, he | deemed it his duty not to ‘participate further in the so-called deliberations of the House.' " 3¢ was fortunate for Mr. Knight and | for his party at home that he did not achieve his desire at the recent pri-| mary to be the republican candidate { for governor. In that event he would have been confronted with the neces- | sity of accepting the administration’s | legislative program, or of declining | the gubernatorial nomination and thus have embarrassed his party by forcing it to select a new state leader. | Republican candidates, state and na- | tional, are supporting the administra- ticn this year, and the administration | is supporting them. The administra- tion is on trial. If it is indorsed in November, the effect will extend to 1924, and enable the republicans to en- | ter the next presidential contest with | large hopes. If indorsement is denied, | the effect will greatly hearten the op- | position and enable the democrats to enter that contest in buoyant spirits. Mr. Knight was not defeated in the contest for the gubernatorial nomina- tion because of the opinions he now announces. They were not publicly known at that time. Had they been, his defeat would probably have been more pronounced than it was. The re- publicans of Ohio, led by Mr. Thomp- son, are behind the President. ———— Public sympathy is always mention- ed as important in a controversy, al- though there is not usually any great display of sympathy for the public.

Europe at the Crossways. Virtual breakdown of the entente between Great Britain and France brings the peoples of Europe to star- tling realization of the fact that they have come to the parting of the ways. The situation will not admit that things can go on as they have gone since signifig of the armistice, aim- lessly and without concentrated pur- pose, apparently without understand- ing. Breakdown of the Franco-Brit- ish entente will be followed speedily by breakdown of the entire European structure unless the road to sanity and reasonableness and practical things is found without delay. % A slump in the German mark- to a point where it requires more than 1,000 marks to buy an American dol- lar, coupled with sharp declines in value of the French franc and Italian lire, following disruption of the Lon- don conference. shows how near the abyss Europe has approached. A few more such jolts certainly would 'send it over the edge and into chaos so overwhelming as to be unmeasurable from precedent, and even fmagination falters at the task, and is appalled. The British people are represented as “stunned” by the shock of realiza- ion that things have reached so des- perate a stage. That is not surprising. The British people and the peoples of the continent apparently had closed eves and refused to see or heed were drifting. or care whither they and refused to be drawn into the mael- | strom, but the warnings they issued were rewarded only with criticism and We were accused of being self- ish and hard-hearted because we re- i fused to imperil our own security by dumping our resources into the seem- ingly bottomless pit being digged by European maladministration. It is proverbial that the darkest hour is just before the dawn, and it may be that now conditions in Europe are so bad that they must of necessity grow better. But there is little in the out- look upon which such a hope can be based. Poincare returns to Paris, and the French cabinet approves and ap- plauds the stand he took at London. Lloyd George shows no sign of reced- ing from or softening the British posi- tion. The German government is ready to throw up the sponge. It iter- ates and reiterates “We cannot pay,” and waits in sullen inactivity the next move of its enemies. From no states- man in Europe does there come a hopeful gesture or a constructive sug- gestion as to how to meet and over- come the crisis. All, apparently, are just waiting for the crash, dumbly and in despair. What has become of the spirit which animated the allied peoples of Europe in the years of war—the spirit of Ver- dun and of Ypres, the dauntless reso- a people inspired, unselfish and self- sacrificing. Petty things were put aside and leadership was bold and tertile of resource. They met a com- lute, and they conquered it. they face a common peril as deadly in its way as were the ruthless legions seem to lack both in resolution and in resource; the iron seems gone from their souls and their blood turned to water. Their condition is desperate, it is true, and their difficulties so great as to be almost overwhelming. But their condition 18 not more desperate nor are their difficulties greater than were those of the south following the Amer- ican civil war. The south recovered because, whatever else Lee surrender- ed at Appomattox, he did not sur- render the courage of southern man- hood. Eprope might find a lesson and an inspiration there. ————————— Germany's responsibility for the in- ternal problems which arose through various” nations as the result of the world war will never be accurately estimated. —————— The democrats are looking for a landslide vote in New York. A land- slide vote does not necessarily sim- plify the problems that arise after election. } Events move with comparative smoothness with a referee until some one takes a notion not to abide by his ~ Commission: Under all the circumstances, I know of nothing to be done except to in- sist upon the full enforcement of the Jaw. It is a very natural thing under the circumstances which exist at the present moment to waiye the exac- tions in behalf of safety in seeking to ‘maintain transportation. In my judgment, it is better to have the service diminished rather_ than at- tempt the movement of ‘trains on which safety is not assufed so far as c?énv}:_'"“ with the law may pro- vide ¢ There can be no dissent from this proposition. Safe transportation must be had even if it is inadequate. Rall- road companies declare that they are not seriously discommoded by the shopmen’s strike, that they have main- tained their equipment adequately and that there is a progressive improve- ment in the shop work and the con- ditions of the “power.” The strike leaders declare that, on the contrary, the locomotives are deteriorating to the danger point, that shop work is being scamped and badly done, that decrepit engines are kept in use. The Interstate Commerce Commission re- ports to the President that there has been a serious deterioration. Up to this time, so far as known, decisions. The monarchist secret assoclations in -Europe will doubtless hold many initiations, but no coronations. ———————— The Lee Highway. A broad, smooth, hard-surface high- way across the American continent, from the National Capital to the Pa. cific ocean, as & memorial to Robert E. Lee, the southern chieftain, is a proj- ect caiculated to quicken the pulse and stir the imagination. The public has heard of this enterprise for the last two or three years, but it only now is disclosed how near it is to realization. According to Dr. 8. M. Johnson, general director, of the Lee Highway Association, completion of the road all the way from San Diego, Calif.,, to within 100 _miles of Wash- ington is pnctlu.ll{ assured by the end of next year. g Strange as it may seem, the hun- dred miles as to completion of Ivhich | there is doubt lies through Virginia, which gave Lee to the south and to the nation, where his memory is cher- ished and his name revered along with They seemed in a daze and to have! lost all sense of values and of relativ- ity.

The Bryanites and the Hitchcock- ites have just met in state convention at Omaha and pledged friendship and co-operation for this year's Nebraska campaign. The one faction has con- tributed the democratic candidate for governor, the other the democratic candidate for senator. Each, therefore, | has a stake in the game. I\ Consider the difference between this year and two years 3 Then, the two factions were at dag- gers' drawn. Mr. Hitchcock was a | candidate for the democratic nomina- | tion for President, and had obtained instructions from his home state. Mr. Bryan—W. J.—was a delegate to the | national convention with his fingers crossed as to the Hitchcock candidacy. He desired, and expected, its futility fat San Francisco. He was not disap- pointed. ’: Now, Mr. Bryan is a Hitchcock man without reservations. He wants the senator re-elected. He will stump Ne- braska for the democracy, with his brother’s candidacy for governor most prominently in mind, of course, but with Mr. Hitchcock's in mind, too.

There is a suggestion in many quarters that this provisior at| least is unconstitutional, inasmuch as it is argued that Congress has no right to delegate its powers to an- other body. However, there also is a disposition on the part of many editors to greet the action as a step in the right di- rection. Carried to completeness, it is it will take the entire tarift question out of Congress and allow it to be settled entirely from the standpoint of protecting struggling American industries while at the same time failing to allow a certain class of importers and manufacturers to make enormous profits. Even viewed In its most favorable light_the plan is of doubtful political expediency, according to the In- dianapolis News (independent). “The greater part of the difficulties in re- gard to tariff disturbances could be avoided if Congress could realize that i revising the whole act from alpha to omega. The revision madness grows out of purely partisan tariffs.” “flexibility as it now stands in lhei ited though the term be for its use. | giving _the President the right 1o} make 50 per cent changes up and down is too vast a power to dele-| sonality of the incumbent, the execu- tive Is the wrong repository of any ! such power.

At this! perfod of the world's history, and for | some years to come, it is pretty well admitted that rapid fluctuations in values and in exchange may render an established rate greatly excessive almost overnight.” i However, Senator Carter Glass' pa- per. the 'Lynchburg News (demo-y cratic), considers the action an “un- warranted delegation of legislative authority.” It argues that “the tarift bill is’ bad enough as it is, both in inspiration and formulation, but the addition of this gross contempt for the constitutional demarcations sepa- rating the legislative and executive branches of the government adds #m- measurably to Its odium, and to the probability of disaster for the politi- cal party deliberately making itself responsible for the measure.” There is a question of constitution- ality involved, the Syracuse Herald | (independent) points_ out, because! “while Congress may designate other constitutional powers, it is an abso- lute impossibility for that body to delegate the power of origination. A new tarift schedule, proclaimed by the be raised, will surely not originate in the House.” In the opinion of the St. Paul Dis- patch (independent), the provision is “g confession of the inefficiency of Congress.” Incidentally, the Dispatch believes that if the bili, “with its un- precedented rates, ‘becomes law long enough before the fall election, some of the senators and representatives may wish that the tariff had been delegated to a commission freeing them from responsibility.” This also is the view of the New York Globe (independent), ‘which be- lieves that whit the President and Congress “will succeed in doing Will be to call attention to the futility of handing over to, expéfts a job that has been bungled beyond all repaif.” The “idea of flexibility in the tanft is desirable if properly executed,” in the view of the New York Evening World (independent democratic), but the present method ls wrong, it says, because “to take the tariff out of litics and make it sclentifically exible Would require a non-partisan board of experts free from executive and > legislative pressure. Unfortu-* nately, this sort of tariff policy is widely at variance with what Presi- dent Harding recommends.” Because of the character of the present bill the Chicago News (inde: pendent) holds that “oniy by thi safeguard can c'nghm- hop the prospective hl‘ Quties erable to the people. ?d W, e to L3 at perfect tarift bill enacted oul - part from perfectiod: tomorrow, be- EDITORIAL DIGEST jturbances that are responsible for the ; Beologic _alteratiol that de- lursd a man to his mn,qhnua. ville.
