NEW co-operative era has been opened In the history of American raliroads. To: day the ra''road owners, the managers, the workers, the trav- elers, the shippers and the public are partners In a common enter- prise. We have, in fact, actual pub- lie ownership and public operation of rallroads. And It may comfort some of our radieal agitators for government ownership of the rall- roads to know that the government now has more than a billlon dollars Invested in the enterprise. When Coogress turned the rafl- ronds back to their owning com- panies, guaranteeing that their combined pet income should not fall bglow a fixed minimum, and provid- ing for recapture Inte the puble treasury of a large share of thel profits, all the people became part- Ders in the raliroad business.

RAVAGED BY FIRE (Continued from First Page) Maylor, hardly a shop was left un- scathed. This was the shopping cen- ter of Cork. South of St. Patrick street the fire ran uncontrolled along narrow thoroughtares as far as Old George street. This is an area of three blocks in this part of the town and was re- duced to masses of debris. The magnificent city hall of Cork, located on the southern end of the Parnell bridge that spans the river Lee was also laid in ruins. In addi- tion the Carnegie library across Anglesea street was burned and the corn exchange, behind the city hall to the south, was at least partially de- stroyed. Reports say Albert quay, ly- ing along the southern bank of the river, is a mass of desolation. Despatches reaching London today say that Cork was quiet and that orders had been given the regular sol- diers to shoot looters on sight. Exact details of the events leading up to the conflagrition have not vet been received here. All reports indi- cate that the disorders had a direct connection with the attack upon the lorry carrying police auxiliaries but some newspapers suggest the fires might have been caused by siored ex- plosives such as were found on Sat- urday in Dublin. Monsignor Daniel Cohalan, bishop of Cork, is said to have announced in his cathedral last evening his in- tention to excommunicate anyone participating in further ambuscades of crown forces in his diocese. emptiness—will do.

It will need a decision of the highest court to end the exist- ence of this twilight zone of pub- lic regulation. But there Is Involved In the rafl- road problem a far greater Issue than even that of adequate and effi- clent transportation. I refer to the issue of private ownership of prop- erty, not merely as an Inherent right which the ages have fully sus- tained but also from the vastly larger consideration of public ad- vantage. And we may be sure that bad not private ownership of prop- erty long ago justified itself from the standpoint of public weal there would not be such owpership of the investing public. T, therefore, we are to rely In the fuiure, as we rallway transportation, the reiwurn must be such as will induce the needed amount of Investment. It 1s not only a matter of justice, It is in the truest public Interest, that an adequate return should be al- lowed upon rallway capital But the chief obstacle in the way of perfecting npational control of transportation—so far as perfection is politically and humanly attain- ‘| was announced by the International For employes with be 100 per those of two service 50 per cent and those of one 25 per cent.

But In this critical transition! period, with Its ferment of socio- logical discontent following as a natural phenomenon the' violent psychological reactions of the war, the danger lies In resort to extrem.; measures as possible panaceas for; our economic (lls. We must guard| against ultra-radicalism and ultra-; conservatism. Both provoke class! strife and breed Bolshevism. Both are enemies of the public welfare,: The radical element of labor should pause and consider that “the ordinary wage-earners of Russia have made the most vigorous effort in recent bistory to profit by the' confiscation of the property of the well-to-do and wealthy classes. The resulting paralysis of industry, with the dire poverty and even starva-! tion resulting for those very work-; ing classes that the confiscation was Intended to benefit, are facts too well known to require elabora- tion. It Is clear that the working- man cannot with safety destroy the equipment both tangible and fto- tangible which aids him in produc- tion, and that, without the organis- ing ability of the captains of indus- try and the savings of the proper-| tled classes, the equipment needed for production is hoplessly lllld.-; quate. [ The reactionary element among, employers should remember that| cartailment of production in order; to force wages down and sustain prices will inevitably react as a boomerang. Thelr eventual loss will more than offset their !mmediate gain. General prosperity is the best antidote for Industrial unrest and dangerous radical tendencies. Labor, too, must bear in mind that it has far more to lose by cur- talling output on the false theory that decreased production per mam creates more jobs. It should realize that the best way to sustaln wage levels is to give a fair day’s effort for a fair day’s wage. I heartily support organized labor when its object is the bettering of industrial conditions by legitimate means. I belleve that In so far as organized labor, in whatever form or under whatever name it cares to function, accomplishes that pur- pose It is performing an invaluable service to this country and the world at large. But the future strength and success of organized 1ahor lie not along the path of eco- nomic fallacy and sophistry, such as that represented by the Flumb plan to turn the raflroads over to
