HE Railroad Labor Board has issued emer orders to the railroad employers and to the failroad employees. It has also given orders to the third interested party in the case—the public. Ina statement yesterday the board said: “All good Americans should refrain from loose talk and provocative lauguage about either side of the controversy. Neither of the parties should be alarmed or Irritated by unwarranted denunciation or tnsinuation from irresponsible sources.” Only the Labor Board knows how much more difficult its task has been made by comment similar to what The World aptly described as the “Fifth Avenue hysterics” of the Tribune. This section of public opinion has been loud in advising the men to “obey the Labor Board.” Now it Is time to practise that maxim and avoid “provoc- ative language” and “unwarranted denunciation or insinuation from irresponsible sources.” \ No wonder Representative Volstead and his Kind are thunderstruck at the Treasury De- partment’s issuance of the regulations govern- ing the prescription of wine and beer as medicine. Secretary Mellon's promulgation says: “The Jegal rights of the parties concerned being plain. the department {s unable longer to delay the issuance of these regulations.” What rights or whose rights can possibly matter until the Anti-Saloon league has had its say? THE FORLORN HAPSBURG HOPE HE ex-Emperor Charles has taken the big chance—and failed. The world has been through too much to be | deeply stirred by a final smash of remnants of the Hapsburg dynasty in hopeless reaction against the new order. Nevertheless the story is a thrilling one. The airplane flight of the imperial pair from Switzerland to Hungary, the rallying of the faithful, the disastrous clash with the troops of the Hun- garian Government, the capture of Charles and Zita, the ex-Emperor’s attempt at suicide frustrated by the ex-Empress—all has taken place with the rapid- ity of a moving picture and the fatality of a great tragedy. There was nothing in the least extraordinary about this Charles. He was only a commonplace young man. But the accident of birth made him the rallying point for the thwarted instincts and am- bitions of a reactionary class to whom the new Europe seems intolerable. * «Charles was a Hapsburg, doomed to go down 5 like the rest of the Hayisburgs, in a vain struggle with a Europe that has outgrown them For Hapsburgs as for Hohenzollerns, preserva- tion of the new order makes but one destiny possible: Exile—assured by vigilance. ‘The actual hold-up of a mail truck in Broad- way, only a few blocks from the City Hall, i surprising enough. But even more unusual is the fact that the Tobbers knew what they wanted and took it without hesitation. Many mail wagons hurtle up and down the streets of the city. The fact that the bandits were able ty choose the one which promised rich pickings will yequire careful investigation On the face of the thing it looks very much as though they had information from inside the Post Office. Coincidence hardly explains ail the circumstances. CALL IN SCIENCE. EGOTIATIONS between the Irish leader the British Government seem to hinge on future relations. England demands allegiance to the King. Ire- land demands recognition of ils present Republican status. As The Evening World has already sug- gested, it would be highly desirable if t tions could exist at the same time Since this is impossible, ext thing is to have the two conditions exis ferent times but so closely unite one can distinguish which changes first Purpose it would be well to have mechanical help The Irish should prepare a treaty or joining the British Commonweal The should prepare to recognize that the Iri had existed. A clause in each of should provide that this statemer is completely signed by ea of two represer Then let Michael Collins and David Lloyd George sit at a table.

England will have the satisfaction of a loyal Ireland. The rest of the world will be happier. Is a better solution possible? Once this is BY MANDATE. alone Administration at Washington is reported to ‘be manifesting concern over the problem of withdrawing the American troops from the Rhine, Some responsible officials are even said to feel, that a withdrawal now might be interpreted as a “shirking” of responsibility to our erstwhile Allies and a denial of obligations assumed under j ‘the left-handed acceptance of the Treaty of Ver- sailles in the German Treaty. Of course it is “shirking.” It is shirking of a despicable character. But why should that bother the Administration? Hasn't it the backing of that 6,000,000 majority which rejected a “super-state”? When, since 1918, have the members of the present Administration cared a rap about “shirking”? The Senate that recommended a separate peace with Germany meant that President Harding was elected for the express purpose of shirking and kulking, h the idea of getting all he could get “abroad” without giving anything in return Any hesi{ancy over shirking comes with bad grace from an Administration elected on the issue, “Shall we shirk or not?” With particularly bad grace does such hesitancy come from Secretaries Hughes and Hoover, who have shirked the pledge they gave their followers when they signed with the other twenty-nine lead- ing Republicans who said a vote for Harding meant entry into the League of Nations. trom CORNELL'S PAY CLINIC AST week Michael M. Davis jr., Executive + Secretary of the Committee on Dispensary Development of the United Hospital Fund, made a plea before New York Academy of Medicine for establishment of pay clinics in hospitals. Mr. Davis said: “There are probably 2,000,000 Persons in New York City and suburbs who are self- supporting and do not want charity but do need the medical service for which they can- not pay, The patient who can pay $1 a visit or §2 and who cannot pay a specialist $5 or $10 finds nothing between charity and the specialists.” One of tlre 2,000,000 clipped this quotation and wrote to The Evening World You will have everlasting gratitude by helping out a movement for such ‘pay clinics.” Many respectable men who cannot pay a specialist will not degrade themselves by accepting charity. Why not have a $1 or $2 entrance fee at the hospitals?” This letter arrived before Cornell University an- nounced the opening of just such an institution at its medical college at First Avenue and 27th Street Cérmell will earn the “everlasting gratitude” of many of this 2,000,000, It is an innovation in New York. It is a work that deserves commenda- tion and the active support of the community and of the medical profession. It isn't charity. It fills a need which is beyond charity’s province. : Can any one recall that a nickel would buy anything until John F. Hylan became Mayor? A WARNING. Cc INGRESS may not pass the Dyer Anti-Lynch- ing Bill. The Republican Party is not com- d to this measure. In its platform it went no further than to say: mit “We urge Congress to consider the most ective means to end lynching in this coun- y, Which continues to be a terrible blot on our Ameriean civilization.” But the measure has been introduced. It is fair varning to the lynching States.

The manager of a factory does not decide what the product shall be or how many men shall be employed in man- ufacturing it. He is given the plant to operate. It is his business to turn out a good preduct and as much of it as is possible. A great des! depends on his ability and energy—in fact, whether the factory shall be a success or a failure. So with you ’ You may not be your own employer, or even have a voice in the nature of the job you, are doing. But whether it is well done or badly done rests entirely with you, if you use well and vigorously the ability that you are selling lo your employer for so much a day you are sure to keep your job and reasonably sure of promotion. If, on the other hand, you manage yourself in a slovenly fashion, undermine your capacity by lack of sleep and inut- tention to your diet, you are constantly destroying your owr value. The men who do the best in life are the men who are the best managers of themselves. They learn early the importance of good mental and physical health They know the usefulness of good habits, particularly those of tem and industry, They insist that these things become a factor of the daily production. Whether working for wages or salaries, or guiding a business, they get out of the human brain and body a high percentage of efficiency. And it is efficiency that pays dividends, If you have wante d to be your own boss and failed there may be a veason for it. Perhaps you have not been a good manager. And if you can't be a good manager you may be sure that you can hever get cither yourself or any one else to work for you lon ver. | up the speech reached the Brooklyn |becn an efficient one, He hadgtried |mever was one so badly handipd, his managers.
