STRIKE AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
When the war overtook the United States a great
question was already open aa to the operation of the
railroads, Tht Adamson law, passed in 1916, had
partially answered this; it was sustained by the.
aupreme court on the theory that the government
had a right to intervene in the wage question to
protect public interests. Under the direction of
Mr. McAdoo, in 1918, labor control waa centralized,
and the different kinda employed on the railroads
were classified and formed into great national un
ions, that the adjustment of wages and working
conditioni might be facilitated.
In March, 1920 when the roads were turned
back to their owners under the Esch-Cummina act, .
the railroad executives declared in favor of decen
tralizing labor control, and expressed their opposi
tion to the Labor Board created by the new law,
Vice President Atterbury of the Pennsylvania be-
gna at once to dislocate the unions on that system,
and to substitute company organizations instead of
th international and national. When the unions
took thla matter-to the Labor Board, as provided by
law, the Pennsylvania sought by injunction .to re
strain the board from making any order. This case
has just been decided by the United States court
of appeals in favor of tfte board.
Under the law and the court's decision, the Labor
Board may make rules and regulations and fix
wages, for the Pennsylvania as for any other road.
Vice President Atterbury announces his purpose of
taking appeal to the supreme court, thus further
delaying and nullifying the authority of the Labor
Board.
The unwisdom of the proceeding under the cir
cumstances ia easily noted. If the men are wrong
in refusing to accept an award of the board the
Pennsylvania railroad is equally blameable. If the
Labor Board represents anything, it is an agency
of the United States government, set up for the
purpose of bringing reasonable settlements of differ
ences between reasonable men. Either side that
flouts the board and ignores its rulings xis flouting
and ignoring the government of the United States.
That conclusion cannot be avoided. Two wrongs
never made alright in this world, and never will.
In this 'case both managers and men are culpable,
because of their action in defiance -of the govern
ment, taking the law into their own hands,' and
seeking a settlement resting on- force rather than
on reason. : ,
The points of disagreement are so few and of such
small consequence, that either side might sacrifice
all to the other with slight loss, or both sides could
adjourn their extreme claims and renew relations
on a basis that is mutually satisfactory, allowing
the unfinished business to take the normal course
of such matters. Neither is justified in longer hold
ing out against the law of the land.

MEAT FOR THE MULTITUDE.
One day last week an Omaha restaurant served
auch of ita customers aa cared for the novelty with erthlp and operation of all the Amer
whale steak. This haa been done before, and with
about the tame effect Not many ask for the
delicacy a aecond time. So it goeawith the numer
ous expedients brought forward to serve the world
with a substitute for the product of Nebraska plaina.
Whale ateaks, caribou beef, reindeer roast, it is all
the same the succulent, sweet and tender flesh of
the carefully nurtured- Nebraaka grade steer .yet
stands supreme and unapproached, tn a class by
Itself. Wild cattle once served very well to appease
the appetite of the .flesh-eater, and the roast beef
of old England drew an accolade of knighthood from
a monarch who didn't know what his descendants
revel in today. Had he had a taste of roast from a
1, 400-pound Nebraska corn-fed "white face," in
stead of merely knighting the haunch as it lay on
the trencher, it ia easy to believe he would have
made a place for it on the throne, and secured for
all its kind the attributes of royalty. Maybe in some
such time aa Dr. Malthus dreamed of, when the
lean coal mine. No government

OPINION
OF :
State and Nation

producing food, the substitute for bovine beef will
find a steady place on the menu, but as long aa
the flesh of the corn-fed steer is available it will
have preference over all.
FORBIDDEN LITERARY FRUIT.
The dull midsummer season in the book business
has been enlivened by the arrest of two publishers.
Chairman Sumner of the Anti-Vice society haa raid
ed the warehouses of Thomas Seltzer, confiscating'
his stock of "Women in Love," by. D. H. Lawrence;
"Casanvoa's Homecoming," by Arthur Schnitzler, and
"A Young Girl's Diary," an original document pre
faced with a letter from Sigmund Freud, the psycho
analyst.
Mr. Seltzer's hearing will come up in two weeks,
but John G. Kidd, a Cincinnati publisher, already
has been punished for his sins. A fine of $1,000 haa
been laid on him for sending a copy of Boccaccio's
"Decameron" in interstate traffic.
Inasmuch as this latter book has survived
through many centuries the thoughtful reader may
question the success of any censorship that attempts
to prevent its circulation. Had this spirit prevailed
in the past, and had the translations of the Italian
classic been withheld from the hands of Chaucer
and Shakespeare, the inspiration of "Canterbury
Tales' 'and many dramas of the bard of Avon would
have failed. A great part of old English literature
drew its style and plot from these nages.
Unpleasant as these confiscated volumes may
seem to certain refined tastes, yet the futility and
downright folly of attempting to obliterate them
roust be admitted. It is as if our lawmakers con
sidered Americans as a whole scarcely above the
mental and moral development of the moron.
OF FAMOUS WOMEN.
The query of a South American newspaper con
earning the identity of the ten moat famous women
of the United States has done this much at least it
haa called to public attention the important part in
national life that is being taken by women. The dif
ficulty ia not to name ten prominent women, but
to select so few from so many.
Nor ia this a phenomenon peculiar to the present
generation. Were that so, woman suffrage, among
other great reforms, would not have come ao soon,
In a book entitled "Heroines of Modern Prog.
rest," an account given of some of the leaders in
important world movements. The work they did
flourishes today though their names in some instances
have been well nigh forgotten. For instance, one of
those discussed is J. Ellen Foster, who used to live
in Iowa. Another is Mary Lyon, who waa born in
Massachusetts in 1797. Clara Barton, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, Julia Ward Howe, Frances E. Willard and
Jane Addams, the latter of whom is still a living factor
in American welfare, are others the reasons for whose
mention will be more easily recognized.'
These were the pioneers. Their work is being
carried on today by hundreds of public spirited daugh
ters. It is no easier to choose the ten most famous
among them than among the men of our country.
ZEPPELINS NEXT.
As has been remarked on sundry other occasions,
it's a queer world. Only the other day Americans,
Englishmen and the other allied nationalities were
vowing that never so long as the world lasted would
they renew their old relationships with the Germans.
Today German goods are in auch demand in
America that a tariff is considered necessary to bar
enough of them out to give our native manufacturers
a home market. From London is announced the es
tablishment of an airplane line that will carry pas
sengers from London to Berlin in seven hours. Can
any better example of two late foes rushing into
each other's arms be found?
All the post-war experiences have impressed the
interdependence of nations and the impossibility of of the Volstead act. Mr. Jeffaria,
fencing off any unit of the world. How long will it
befeefore Zeppelins again will fly from Germany te
London, freighted with goods and passengers instead
of bombs? .
Those Rawlins rangers have not lost any sens
of gallantry, though Wyoming is the pioneer in equal
suffrage. Women first when it cornea to disposing
of the reward for capturing criminals still is their
motto.
A TRULY GOOD WILL EXPEDITION.
Saturday evening a group of Nebraska girls left
Omaha oik a most particular mission. They will
go to carry a message of good will and cheer from
the people of this state to those of devastated France
and Belgium. V
Five years ago 45,000 of the best of Nebraska's
young men were in the uniform of the United States
army, many of them in France, all bent on ending
the war in glorious victory for democracy and liberty.
Thousands of these boys fought over the section the
girls will now visit Many of them paid the last of
fering there. '
Nor are these girls the first from Nebraska to
visit the battlefields of France. Volunteer nurses,
Red Cross workers and others Served with the colors
all the way from Omaha to the front line trenches,
and did their bit as valiantly and as effectively aa
any who were in the great adventure.
These Good Will girls are not going to perpetuate-
any of the memories of the war, nor to revive any of
the hitternesa of the dreadful struggle. They go to
extend to the people of the regions that suffered ao
terribly a message of encouragement and sympathy,
of help and sustenance in the effort that is now be
ing made to wipe out the gears of war. It ia humanly
impossible for those who felt the searing breath of
destruction to pretend that they have forgotten, but
Recalling what made Milwaukee famous, the

What Dennis Fleming Would Do.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Georgia humor, like Georgia wa
termelon, has never dependedwholly
on color, whatever impressions may
have been produced by "Uncle Re
mus.' Taste and sweetness have al
ways counted. Like the watermelon,
humor is always springing up from
its low-lying vine. We are inclined
to rank very high the latest of the
cracker state humorist. Senator
Dennis FWming of the Tenth district,
and to credit his humor to environ
ment, though he is of as good Celtic
stock as the late Henry W. Grady.
Fleming has introduced a bill to
send to prison for 20 years any mar
ried man who goes fishing without
hit wife's full consent. If he thdi
comes home without any fiah his
wife shall have the fight to cancel
all permits in the future. All other
absences from home, even for a
single evening, without consent are
to be penalized In more merciful de
gree. The statesman expresses full
confidence that the bill will be en
acted, because women are voters
now.
A Billion-Dollar Garden.
7rm Farm Lite.
Wt count wheat and cotton as
principal crops, and yet. in 1921,
they both together were barely equal
in value to the vegetables grown on
farms la the United States. If we
add the truck grown on city and
suburban lota to trie "garden sass"
grown on farms, we find a total
value just about equal to that of the
entire national corn crop. Not all of
these vegetables were sold, of course,
but perhaps as great a proportion
of fhem as of the corn produced J
found their way to a direct cash
markef. So far as that la concerned,
the poultry product for last census
year (1919) were more than a billion
dollars In value and the dairy prod
ucts nearly a billion and a half
These figures are-interesting because
they ehow how extremely important
the garden and the poultry yard are
to the farmers of th ecountry; but
because their yield and consumption
are spread over a longer period of
time they are too often regarded aa
neglible.
Referendum to Come.
