It appears that the United States Railroad Labor Board might have been one of the weak sisters in con- nection with the threatened railroad strike if stories to the effect that it has suggested that the lower proposed by the railroads be aban- doned, ‘for the time being at least, are true. The stage was set for a battle rayal between a portion of railroad labor, the most essential although not the largest gortion, and the employing eoncerns, ' with every indication that the fight to a finish was te come about. The board, in our opinion, admitted its weakness in attempting to postpone the strike by dilatory tactics which have, inithe past, rendered the rall- | #road situation as bad as it is today. Inasmuch as the public is “paying the freight” when buying any necessity that is carried on the roads and inas- #nuch as the public is interested in " nothing ‘but price reductions at the P present time. we belleve that public L. opimion did not and does not favor the strike, if for nothing but the selfish reason that higher wages mean great- er costs. In fact, it appears that even ecertain elements of railroad labor are not in favor although the reduction in wages affects them as well as the strikers. Public opinion will line up © against the engineers and their fel- \ low strikers, it is utterly safe to say 80, and public opinion will break the strike though popsibly some of us will _suffer through the using of inefiicient . men in responsible positions until such a time as the inefficient ones have been trained, and probably all of us will . be Indirectly taxed to pay back the | ‘costs of the strike to the roads. L Unon labor has decided the strike | must come, the railroad managers hav, decided to stand pat — the Railroad " Labor Béard, instead of trying to " avert should haye taken more direct action or kept hagds off entirely. Ir- respective of. the action of the board it appears that the 'fight is coming, that both principals are sticking to their guns, and it is just,as well that ¢ this should be. The pot has been ‘boiling, it must boil over some time and any attempt to put off the time makes the eventual showdown much harder-to bear. We shall at least find out exactly where public sentiment is and how much of a part raflroad labor is to have in determ™ning the future cost of living. 7 wage HOW DO WE STAND? In any-dvent strike or no strike, it is a wise move now being instituted in Ahis state to make a survey of the #AGod and fuel in this state. Although the crops may vary, al- though the buying * may vary from year to year, it is wise to have some standard on which an estimate may be Lased whenever an emergency may It is quite possibje that the . work along this line now being done may be too late to be of use in the present state of affairs, but it may belp now and surely it will help in future emergency. §rise. Fuel is to be in- cluded also in this survey and may throw some light on an always inter- estinb question. Governor Lake does not tell exactly what is being done, in his statement, nor how sure we may be. But this he does say: “All the resources of Connecticut pre being marshalled to insure a con- tinuing supply of food to our people, ana immediate steps will be taken to conserve necessaries. Everything pos- sible will be done to prevent suffering and distress and to preserve law and order in the event of a.rike.” a railroad BETTING ON WAR., In the London Market they are practicglly giving odds of 19 to 1 that there will be no war between Japan and the United States, before Decem- ber 31. 1922, The London Times says that an- other deal was effected providing for the payment of the total loss in case that “even a part or the whole of the West Indies is transferred to the United States of America in payment or part payment of our debts (“Eng- Jand’s) on or before December 31, 1922, That means that some believe war betwee: Japan and the United States is coming before the next year ends and are willing to take odds on that proposition—19 to 1.

Granted that the Japanese are clever statesmen and diplomats, and that they would conceal any thought of such a thing as war, it is deemed impossible that she should have car- ried her preparations so far that she would be ready to start a conflict so soon. It is interesting to imagine what the “odds” would have been or would there have been any betting at all or the suggestion of such a thing, had the United States been in the League of Nations after the Lodge reserva- tions had been added to it. The chances would be very small. Apropos there comes the news thdt should there come conflict in the Pa- cific, or elsewhere, involving the United States, Great Britain weuld support the United States, dccording to the personal opinion of Lord North- liffe, in speaking to Japanese news- paper men who had come to Manila from Japan for the purpose of in- terviewing him. He said “It is incon- ceivable that any contingency might arise /seriously to menace” the invis-~ ible but impregnable bond that make the Engljgh-speaking peoples one in is harmtul in ‘War will per- the ultimate and supreme issues of humanity. BEER OR NO BEER Those members of the populace who have been, with tongue hanging out, oxisting in the ‘oasis (figuratively speaking) created by the: eight- centh amendment and watching with hope ill-concealed hope the action of semi-permanent resi- dents of Washington sent there by the ballot for any signs of lifting the ban on stimulants took considerable heart when it was announced that beer and possibly light wines were to be issued to the ailing through physi- clans’ prescriptions. What a world of possibilities the proposition opened up. {l‘rue there is a fight on to beat it, to legislate beer out of existence even as a medicine, which may be done and may not. It appears that the beer ruling muy not be beaten, mainly through a re- vulsion of feeling against prohibition that has gradually come aboutgsince it became evident what bribery, graft and even possible murder had been placed under way by the amendment. True the ruling does not affect the amendment and the status of the United States as a “dry" country but actually it will make it far more easy to obtain the forbidden fruit for which men have murdered. (Vhen are allowed to make beer and drug stores to sell it on prescription to “ailing” persons we are prone to believe that the per- centage of ill ones about the country will increase alarmingly. A man with tour or five in his family might obtain enought beer to. keep his friends agreably supplied through capitaliz- ing the illness of each and everyone, even the infant in arms. Grafting physicians are sure to spring up to issue prescriptions to all who have the price. Corner drug stores, placing placing business over ethics, will reap a harvest, 'twill bé a fine day indeed— for the “bunch.” But, as in other things, we are re- turning to “normalcy” in liquor. Leg- islators in Washington are quite aware what the refusal to adopt the anti- beer bills will mean. They know where most of the beer will' go. Notwith- standing, as they are perfectly aware, a great number of people want beer and perhaps a small number but still a sizeable one is going to get beer somehow. It may be done, eventually, through the ballot.

REYNOLDS IS HOME FROM BALKANS Army Medical Oficet Is Visiting Mother Here Lieutenant John Reynolds, son of Mrs. John Reynolds of Harrison street, who arrived home Monday evening from service overseas, tells a very in- teresting story of his experiences and work as a medical officer in France, Germany and the Balkan states, He enlisted in the medical corps of the U. S. Army in 1917, and was assigned to Camp Devens. In 1918 he ’sailed for France, and landed there in July. He was attached to a Boston City Unit which occupied Base Hospital No. 7 at Tours.

If you do not pay at all, of course, you are in no trouble unless'a couple of strong arm men make you, but the sum may be recovered at law. Which, of course, is quite proper and correct if you lock at it that way. But imagine a number of bookmak- ers in England who receive their more or less illicit gains by check Then imagine every one of those men who gave the money, getting cold feet and reforming to the extent of trying to discourage gambling, all seeking to get their money back in a law suit. The bookmaking fraternity on the other side wotild go bankrupt. Moral, never gamble, and you'll never have to worry this out. “Ford Would Cut Dividends O Railroads,” headline.

To the Editor: A recent issue of your paper éon- tains a report of a sermon delivered by Rev. Mr. Armstrong, in which the preacher takes issue with the teach- ing of Christian Science regarding the unreality of disease. The preach- er is reported to have stated in sup- port of his argument, that Jesus did deny the reality of disease. istian Science certainly teaches that disease is unreal. And it is quite evident to the Christian Scien- tist, that Jesus, by healing disease, denied its reality in the most -prac- tical way. Should a child in school write upon the blackboard, 2 and 2 are 5, and believe the statement, the fact that his ignorance was expressed would not make the statement true. To the teacher, the incorrect statement would be apparent as a mistake, but it would not be real to her. The child’s mathematical healing, so to speak, would take place when he learned that 2 and 2 are 4. : Christian Scientists have learned that diseases are mistakes, manifested bhecause of fear, ignorance, or sin. ® EL TOMORROW TOM Ml in TRAIL] Increased Service Superior '13;1?: and passenger First Class Passenger Fares, NewYork n'$65.77 Including meals New York to Savannah Ta all points south and west.
