With 2 view to bettering the rail- road transportation service «of the séuntry authority was given tae inter- state cofmerce commission to prepare plins for the merging of the ratiroads of fhe country into about a scose of systéms. The work has been carried oat such an extent that it ‘s about ~eady for recpmmendation to congress, !6 which it must be presented in ofder to Rave aftion taken and a decisien resghed. Making plans is of course one thing and getting them approved is an- sther and there bids fair to be an m- weresting aiacussion befors final action sme Way or the other is taken upon he recommendations. It Seems probable that there will be sertain altstnatives for some of the railroads. There is for instance one nldn which would place the New Eng- and roads, except the Canadian proper- tes, and the Boston & Albany of the New York Central lines in a New Eng- land gystem. ‘!'mn 4s another plan whereby the Haven road would be placed in a with the Baltimore and Ohlo wille the northern New England roads wolfld be alied with a great lakes sys- temt.

There séems to be quite a8 hard 2 job reaching a decision in this matter as there was in unscrambling the roads folowing government control and. that {s far from being satisfactorily ' com- pleted, WEST VIRGINIA’S TROUSLES. By the proclamation isstéd By Pres- .|ident Harding directing those engaged in unlawful and Insurrectionary pro- ceedings in the state of West Virl'lj to disperse it is to be expected that those who are causing the trouble in the minihg regions of that commonwealth will heed the warning. Tp to now the trouble makers have encountersd only such opposition as has given them encouragement to continue. By the proclamation they must realize that there is to be no further toleration of their efforts and inasmueh as the situation has gotten out of the control of the state authorities to such an ex- tent that conditions threatén to grow worse the government is ready to act. The warning is subjéct to only one con- struction. Inasmuch ag it has been ad- mitted by the state that it cannot.ade- quately deal with the situation, there is 4 duty that wsts upon the federal gov- ernment that i4 going t6 be discharged. ‘While there are those who have been inspired in their activities by the fact that the state is serfously handicapped by a lack of adequate preparédness they cannot harbor the idea that they will be able to maintain their disrespect for law agdinst the government. To attempt to do so will only invite blood- shed and a rigid enforcement of the laws. The best thing that can be done is to accept the warning as genuine, realize what deflance of It will mean and abandon théir campaign of vio- lance, That is of course what should have been done long ago. It is surprising that the miners should have gotten the idea that they could successfully defy the law and do as they please in set- tling labor “troubles. It is the resort to Jawlessness and bloodshed that has brought them into conflict with the stato and federal authorities. Proper leadership shomld have prevented fit, but they have gotten to a point now where there should be an awakening. Uncle Sam says it cannot go on and he means Chief attention must now be directed to checking the threatened Violence but tire lesson in all this experience, quite like those that have preceded, should spur oi West Virginia to provide means from within. ture today.
