In this cage the railway men are dealing directly with the community.” They are dealing with the British public represented in its Gov- ernment which bas been of late and is still operating the railways. ‘That Government is responsible to the taxpayers. How far has it the ight to go on raising wages to meet the demands of railway employees when the railways are already running at a loss and each new deficit mast be made good out of taxpayers’ pockets? Is there any limit to the amount for which the employees of ‘ Government operated railroads can hold up the taxpayer provided "i the Government goes on yielding to them in order to save the coun- try’s industry from ruin? ei What about the opportunities for unscrupulous qoercion of political parties in power or equally unscrupulous bidding gor favor on the part of politicians out of power, opened up by the unrestricted . demands of millions of railway workers whose increases of pay must ist come out of the public treasury? ig These perils of Government control, already recognized, are now & hundred times intensified in the British railway strike by reason of hat same radicalization of the labor unions which this country has noted in its steel strike. It is serious enough when radical leaders whose contempt for existing institutions is notorious are able to stampede a section of organized labor into attempting to seize an industry in which private ownership preva’ But suppose the radicalized unions try to take over Government operated service for which the public pays? Is there anything left for them to take but the Government and the taxing power itself? \ __o ‘The spectacle of the United States drawing the Imperator from under the British lion's paw ought to be almost exhila- rating enough to persuade Senator Lodge to find out what's in the Peace Treaty. —— NATURAL PARTNERS. HE contract signed Saturday, by which the State of ‘New York ‘4 and the State of New Jersey undertake to dig, operate and maintain a tunnel for vehicles and pedestrians under the Vudson River from Canal Street, Manhattan, to Twelfth Street, Jer- sey City, contains a businesslike clause covering the eventuality that either State finds itself hard up and fails to come across with the successive appropriations for this $12,000,000 job. If one State defaults, the other can, if it chooses, go ahead and complete the tunnel at its own expense and then get its money back f out of the tolls that would have been payable to the defaulting State had it lived up to its contract. Both parties to the contract being solvent and of good rating, “ the main point is that they have at last got together on this under- i jpaking and are ready to award to-morrow a contract for the test borings _ * ‘ef the river bed. This vehicular tunnel should be only a beginning of a new part- . Rership bepween New York and New Jersey for their mutual advan- tage and profit. Between them they control the greatest waterfront of the world, with one of the finest harbors to help. To improve the Port of New York is the only way to make sure of ite just share in the coming unprecedented revival of world com- merce. To improve the Port of New York the Manhattan and Jersey fronts must be treated not as rivals but as natural allies in trade. ——+-—___—_ Many have observed with sorrow The Evening Sun trying to plumb the depths of despicableness with its editorial com. ments on the President's illness. tp EQUITY AND FIDELITY. EMBERS of the Actors’ Fidelity League, the organization oa M called into being to comfort the theatrical managers during the recent actors’ strike, now complain that distinctive labels are pasted on trunks belonging to members of the Actors’ Equity Association and that actors’ tranka which do not bear these labels are y to go astray or turn up much the worse for wear. Eyen a public that has its theatres back can find time to turn & disapproving gaze upon such evidences of discrimination or reprisal behind the scenes. When the actors’ strike was over it was over, ri Bygones were bygones and there were to be no rankling and revenge- fil feelings. * Fidelity and equity are two fine terms, famate?
