Whose? Move Comes Next?
Railroad brotherhood leaders are quoted as
aaying they were met at the Chicago conference
only with words where they expected concrete
plans. Perhaps this expresses their attitude, but
they were asked to withdraw their strike order,
while the Railroad Labor board undertook to
work out a basis ci settlement. Thia proposal
was declined. One point was thus cleared up,
and it does not put the men iti a more favorable
light When the request for the rescinding of
the strike order was made it was with the prom
ise that the additional cut in wages asked by the
railroad managers would be withheld until a
compensatory reduction in tariffs had been put
nto effect and the public had been givett the full
benefit of the change. The brotherhood presi
dents announced their willingness to accept this,
but expressed inability to now recall the order to
strike.
A certain degree of impotence is thus con
fessed, and one that will rather tax public
credulity. It does not seem likely that men will
obey an order to strike, and refuse to obey one
not to strike, both coming from the same author
ity. All along the understanding has been that
the power to order a strike was discretionary,
and this ought to carry also power to forbid a
tttrike. ,
However, the question now asked is, Whose
move cornea next? Another peremptory call
for the presence of the brotherhood chiefs at a
further conference has been issued by the labor
board. President Harding is exercising every
means or method in his power, short of the ex
traordinary war authdrity which will permit
'seizure of the roads, to avert the disruption of
railroad service. Men at the head of the great
transportation systems express confidence in
their ability to move argent traffic, if not to care
for the general business. A great deat of hazi
ness surrounds all the camps, from which come
..'numerous guarded' statements, all subject to con
siderable allowance Tor prejudice.
. It is plain that a strike may take place; equally
clear that it is in the hands of the railroad men
. to avoid a strike simply through agreement be
tween the managers and the brotherhoods to
submit to the law and accept the decision of the
; labor board. Refusal to so act will lead to the
.conclusion by the public that both sides, want the
' strike for purposes of their own. Between them
, the public is helpless.
Government operation may be the alternative.
Experience under the McAdoo-Hines regime did
not make this attractive, but it is better than
conditions now faced. The transportation indus
try can not be much worse off than it is, but the
magnates and the men alike may learn that gov
ernment control under peace time is different
from the take-a-chance management that pre
vailed while the war was on. No matter Whose'
move it is, the step will have to be taken very
soon. ' . , . ; .
No Burning of Nebraska Corn.
We' are assured from the authorities at Lin
coin that corn will not be extensively burned in
Nebraska this winter, either as fuel or to lessen
the amount available for use that the price may
be raised. It is not especially a compliment to
our general intelligence that such assurance was
needed. Nebraska was favored with a bountiful
crop of corn, so unusually well matured in the
field that it la getting into the crib in condition
comparable with the crop of 1920 after it has
seasoned for a year.
Only the wildest of imagination can conceive
such valuable food being destroyed; such, action
would be a crime against a world that must be
fed. Reason docs not support the thought that
limited production is a precedent for higher
prices. The Isw of supply and demand is oper
alive, not always with exactitude, however, and
when natures bounty is bestowed with an-
stinted hand, (he thought is unescapable that
man should have some benefit from that bounty,
Food is fundamental, the one indispensable ele
ment of life. Unless nan haa food in abundance,
he has no time for things other than the produc
tion of fcod. On this fact rests the admitted su
prcmacy of agriculture. Destruction of food has
been practiced in the United. States, for the
purpose of controlling the price. Such, action is
abhorrent, condemned by every sciiiirrient of
sound judgment In a land where millions are
facing hunger, because of lack of employment,
no greater crime could be committed than to
burn corn because the market price is too low.
The Bee is not ready to give full approval to
Governor McKelvie'e suggestion that farmers
open their homes to the unemployed, furnishing
board and lodging in return for the service of
"choring" during the winter, although that plan
has some merit. We do believe that some more
reasonable adjustment of economic conditions in
America will show the way out of the labyrinth,
else we confess ourselves incompetent and in
capable of carrying on the first business of a free
government.
TRUTH IS STRANGE.
I w andered west on Farnera street
A day or two ago,
Jut strolled along 0 aimless feet
That padded to and fro:
When suddenly the strangest thing
A sight these days most rare,
Caused me to cease my wandering
And rob my eyes and stare.
Xnd should you dobnt this tale so weird
That I shall tell to too.
I swear upon my landlord's beard v
That what I say is true;
For it lies not within my lore
Such marvels to invent
I saw bouse whose placard bore
The magic words "FOR RENT!"

VIRULENT PLAGUE.
Recent observations lead us to believe that
the annual epidemic of mustache has again broken
out among the young and susceptible male. The
malady is marked by a slight discoloration of the
super-lip, usually of a reddish tinge or tallow-
hued pallidity, and keeps the- victim worked up
into a state of self-conscious affectation or smug
complacency, according to his disposition and
condition of servitude.

and his neighbor, Thorefore to
complete the cure proceed as fol
lows: The chills "having been brok
en ' by taking 10 grains or quinine
three times a day for three days,
complete the rure by taking 10
giatna of quinine at bedtime each
nijebt for elBht weeks.
Those bavins chronlo malaria
without chills are to take the elht
weeks' treatment without the pre
liminary three or four daye' treat
ment. This la known as the stand
ard treatment It is now put up
under that name and Is on sale as
such in the malarial districts.
The standard treatment Is put up
In the form of 112 capnules. It can
be bought as Ktandard treatment for
adults or children or specinea ages.
The standard treatment for children
under 8 years of age is put up In
syrup of yerba soma. This syrup
makes the quinine tastelens or near
ly so without materially lessening
its effect. The point is. that the
uackftKe as bought contains one
coiiiDlt'te curative treatment.
Furthermore, the national malaria
committee bos made arrangements
with manufacturers to put this
Ftandard treatment on the market
at a price to the ultimate purchaser
which is less than the prevailing
price of quinine. It Is not necessary
to have standard order blanks, but

No Time to Start a Feud.
A few speeches such as that of Senator
-l Hoses may well insure permanence for the agri
cultural bloc in congress. It has only to be
shown that the manufacturing interests arc
served by a bloc of their own, in which Senator
.- Moses may with modesty claim to be not with
out influence, made up of democrats and repub
licans alike, and with a solidarity none the less
for the fact of its being without formal organiza
tion, to put the whole middle west behind the
.farm bloc. , ';Y ' :'- '
There it an emergency in agriculture, but
there is a crisis, of similar proportions in the in
dustrial districts. It is to be suspected that back
of the formation of the agricultural bloc wasa
desire on the part of men now in congress to
fortify themselves against political rivalry at
home by spectacular maneuvers which would at
tract the favorable attention of the farmer voters.
Nevertheless, many-of the things for which this
combine stands, are praiseworthy, some may help
all lines of business, and none of them are lack
ing in popular support. Under the goading of
the New Hampshire senator and others of his
kind, the new group .might go much further than
would be wise, even at the cost of a party split

Tar in charging the Kenyon-Capper conference
With planning to "soak the rich." It is not by
'such heat that the tax system is to be repaired or
sound national prosperity reconstructed. The rich
have always been able to take care of them
selves, and they would be unwise indeed to let
an intolerant statesman such as Moses speak
. for them. His speech has done nothing to bridge
the gap, and further assaults could only widen it
adopted by the commissioner, namely, that w here
the extent of the disability is not at once de
terminable, then compensation will be , allowed
for the term during which treatment continues
until the percentage of permanent disability is
disclosed, and from that date the allowance for
disability runs. In other words, if the final award
carries compensation for sixty weeks, and treat
ment for ten weeks is required before that fact
is determined, then the compensation paid for
the ten weeks is temporary, buf is not deductible
from the amount to be paid for the permanent
injury, which begins with the expiration of the
observation period.
This interpretatfen.'. was resisted by- the. insur
ance companies, they insisting that the, amount
paid foi temporary relief be deducted from that al
lowed for permanent compensation. The case
was heard before the full court, and the opinion
written by Judge Aldrich is concurred in by alt
In the syllabus the court lays down this, rule:
2. Where the injured . employe suffered 2S
per cent partial permanent loss of the normal '
use of his second and middle finger of his right
hand, the extent of the injury not being ascer
tainable until ten weeks after the accident, then
he is entitled, under section 3662, Laws, 1917, '
to compensation for the period of seven and
one-half weeks at $15 per week, commencing
not with the day of the accident, but with the
day when the extent ol the injury is ascertain
abla, and in addition is entitled to $15 per
week for the ten weeks.
This adds another important stone to the
structure that is slowly being built ur for the
proper administration of 'the compensation law.
Employers and employes alike are interested, for
the law is for the benefit of both, and society is
especially concerned, because it has the effect of
relieving the public from direct care of victims of
industrial mishaps.

Revolutionary Christianity.
A question of tremendous importance, and
one which is' not to be answered off-hand is that
propounded by the Rev. Harry F. Ward at a
conference of the Methodist Episcopal church.
It was whether rebellion by the church when
civil government conflicts with moral teaching
is justifiable. Under the system that has worked
with more or less smoothness for many years,
it has been assumed that the church had one field
and the state another, each very neatly fenced
oft.. v.
The Scriptural advice to render unto Caesar
the things that are his and unto the kingdom of
God what belongs rightfully to it may not have
been so definite as some have assumed. Dr.
Ward,-who is a man of high standing in the
religious world, is open, in his denunciation of
autocracy, political or economic, and denounces
the position of the state and county authorities
in the West Virginia mining war. It is his feel
ing that the principles of religion should bit up
held there, even though they , differ with;' the
principles in use by the civil officials.
In some ways Christianity is revolutionary,
and it must be admitted that many surprising
changes would result if it once were put thor
oughly into practice. But in one instance after
another reforms sought by the church have been
accomplished through the ballot Prohibition is
an instance bf this. It seems possible that if
people would carry their moral convictions as
far as the ballot box, a real start toward better
government would be made, and thought of re
bellion against misrule need not be evoked. A
majority, of course, might be without conscience
and overcome the decent-minded minority at the
polls. Whereupon the question raised by Mr.
Ward, and which haa come np in every great
religious movement, would have to be answered
once more. '
however, the infirmity has become chronic and
sticks to them through life.
Harsh measures to relieve the victim are oft
times resorted to by pitying friends, Among the
most potent of these is ridicule, manifested by
raucous and ribald laughter and such pertinent
remarks as "Well, I see eye-brows are coming
down," (this being, however, a gross exaggera
tion), or What are whisk brooms sellinK at
today?" The epidemic also seems to tickle the
Bins.
Less observant persons than we may not have
noticed that, this disease one of the most in
siduous ailments that youth is "hair" to is again
rampant- in our midst but. it is a fact. Some of
the more advanced cases can almost he de

only known cure is a tonsorial operation.

' From the letters of the late Am
bassador Walter Hines Page, now
being published, it appears that,
with the approval of President Wil

himself In the latter part of 1913
and in the early part of 1914 to an
effort to bring the ruling powers
tnto an agreement for the reduction
of armaments. It was not the first
effort in- tftat direction, by any;
means, but it was the nearest one
to that now being made; Colonel,
House found abundant encourage

mittee on manufacturers or rresi- wi.h th- .it nation, and it is ex-

recommendations in their report! A
reduction in wages, reduction in
freight .rates, passage of the railroad
fnnillnfl- Villi, amendments to the
Adamson eight-hour law, discontin
uance of the railroad labor board,
a readjustment downward In prices
and enactment of tax legislation to
relieve business or unaue nuraens.
This subcommittee was made up of
representative business men - and
also Included Mr. Gompers. It is
understood that Mr. Gompers re
fuses to subscribe to this report for
reasons which are not far to seek,
for it calls Tipon labor to undertake
its share of the readjustment pro
cess.
This report is of interest from an
other standnoint. In that It repre
sents the attitude of the business
world toward present-day problems.
It is clearly recognised that there
must be a reduction in wages. This
does not .mean that we must get
back to a 1914 basis, because the
probability Is that even without the
war some aavance in wagea wuum
have taken place. It is also more
olarlv recotrnized than ever before
that a fair wage produces a buying
power which reacts upon industry
and brines about an increase of
m-nfita from enlarsred sales to over
come the smaller margin allowed by
the hieher production cost. But tne
wage level must fit itself in with all
economic factors and cannot be con
Fldered tust bv itself. That Is what
the subcommittee means in recom
mending a reduction of wages, for
in too- many instances they are out
of line with general conditions.
Every sane thinker desires labor
to have its full share of that Which
it produces, but there seems to re
considerable doubt as to where the
line shall be drawn, and the lament
able fact Is that much of the unem-
nlovment is caused oy laoor de
manding more than Its Just share.

been sufficient to successfully meet
it in the end had it not been for
the tremendous reinforcement pro
vided by the United States as a -result
of a hurried and very costly
effort to escape from its own reduced
armaments. , ' f
To undertake at this time a pro
gram of actual disarmament, or even
of a limitation of armaments, with
out eliminating tha possibilities of a
military aggression on the part of
any nation unwilling to reduce
armaments, and without settling the
questions out of which an aggression
'might nna a reason or an skubs,
would be as supreme a folly as it
would have been in 191J for all na
tions except Germany to have re
duced their means of defense to an
ideal minimum, thereby becoming
helpless victims of a cold-blooded
aggression inspired by monarchical
and militaristic power. It is no bet
ter time now than in 1913 to make
a virtue of. folly.
