Drive for Higher Wages.
Despite tho fact that Director Gen
eral Hines says government opera
tion has resulted Jn an Increase of
wagos amounting to a billion dollar,
and increased rates resulting from
this advanco has produced an in
crease in tho living cost of about $12,
COO.000,000 annually to tho public, it
is roported that tho railway unions,
representing moro than 2,000,000
workers, aro planning to make anoth
er drive upon tho railway adminis
tration for higher wages, says tho
New York Herald. Furthermore, it itj
reported that tho unions demand a
setlement of tho matter before
March 1, tho dayllxed by President
Wilson for the return of tho railroads
to private ownership. Promoters of
tho Plumb plan and advocates of con
tinued government operation aro ac
tlvo, not to say threatening. Labor
representatives In Washington are
bringing to bear every influence pos
sible to defeat tho nntl-striko provis
ions of-tlie Cummins bill nnd to sub
stitute the Esch bill or a compromise
creating boards of conciliation to pass
upon disputes and providing for a de
lay of six mouths nt least boforo a
strlko may bo legal. There is sus
piclon that theso movements aro for
tho purpose of delaying a settlement
of tho problem nnd forcing a continu
ance of government oporation boyond
March 1. Perhaps nil legislation may
bo blocked by the powerful forces act
ing upon Uio minds of a not too cour
ageous and independent conroronco
committee. When will tho tho fedornl
government, which Includes congress,
liavo tho courago snuaroly to face this
problem and solve It finally?

Chris Thompson and A. C. Ogg filed
