Victory for the Law.
A very welcome announcement from th
railroad brotherhoodi was that the strike ichtd
' uled to begin on Sunday morning hai been called
oft. That this action was taken in compliance
with the firm demand of the Railroad Labor
board that there be no strike until the board had
had time to fully consider and determine upon
the important matters pending before it is also
encouraging, as it indicates a disposition on part
of the men to respect the law. Here is where
the railroad brotherhoods have won a great moral
victory for themselves. When fealty to the
union was placed in the balance against fealty
to the country, the answer was in favor of the
United States. Whatever of prestige was de
stroyed by their previous attitude, and the lost
was heavy, the brotherhoods have gained mi-
" terially by their refusal to persist in defying the
- law of the land.
The outcome holds something of a reply to
the recommendation made by the majority group
of the late unemployment conference, that the
Railroad Labor board be wiped out by repeal
ing the provision of the law creating it In this
instance, at least, the board has fully vindicated
its right to exist It affords the only means for
' adjusting railroad labor disputes without re
course to the uncertain methods that prevailed
before the war. Without it the country might
;now be impatiently watching, a struggle for su
,; premacy between' the managers and the men:
A general railroad strike would be a dire calam-
ity, and an agency that can avert such an event
'; deserves approbation. '
What remains to be done is to secure from
;the railroad managements recognition of the
" powers of the board equal to that extorted from
the men. Unless the' companies are as willing
. to abide by the law, the germ of trouble lingers.
.land the disease can not be eliminated. One of
. the brotherhood' chiefs is quoted as saying the
. "entire Washington administration was opposed
' to us." If by this he means that Mr; Harding
, and his cabinet were not willing to submit to
the processes by which, the Wilson administra
tion was forced to pass the Adamson law, he is
right. If,, however, he has a notion that the
, president does not sympathize fully with labor.
. in its justifiable aspirations and efforts, he is
mistaken,
' Efforts to array class against class, no matter
' by whom put forth, are indefensible. Neither
the Adamson law nor the Esch-Cumminj law is
.' perfect; experience has shown and will show de
fects, and these will be cured, but orderly of
s; servance of them by all engaged in the transporta
tion industry will aid materially in getting our
'domestic affairs into a settled condition again.
Just as the Adamson law resulted in setting up
' and maintaining conditions of employment more
;. favorable to the men than the managers would
i grant, so the Esch-Cummins law has set up a.
tribunal, for the settlement of disputes, and
neither side is entitled to more than 1 square
. deal. . -r: ' : . .; ..
Harding and World Relations.
Those who gave, and yet give, unalloyed ad-
' herence to the Wilson plan for a League of Na-
. tions, profess to extract much consolation from
1 some of Mr. Harding's recent utterances. The
' New York World, for example, effects to believe
the president is about ready to adopt the for-
: inula of his predecessor, and to become an active
champion of the league. These evidently forget
that all during his campaign Mr. Harding stead-
1 fastly pledged himself to some form of aisocia
tion of nations; he was challenged repeatedly to
give his plan definite outline, to make specific
declarations as to its details, but with a show
of prudence that gave htm high credit among the
people, he waited for the development of a sit-
' nation then forming, and which could not be
anticipated. Now that the inutility of the WiU
; son plan has fairly been demonstrated, and the
inequalities of the Versailles peace have come
: from under the gloss of idealism with which
they were varnished, the Harding views are tak-
' ing shape. That advocates of the league are
turning to them is not to b wondered at, for
, the sanity! of the president's 'project appeals to
all. The world will suffer little, least of all will
the prestige of Warren G. Harding be affected,
if all he achieves is claimed as growing out of the
Versailles project What is of vast importance
is that the president has opened a. way through
which the world may progress to a lasting peace.

, Children's Street Peril.
Too many children are being run down by
automobile .in Omaha. For that matter, a
single case of injury or death is too many from
any standpoint but that of statistics. What must
be impressed'is that the responsibilities of mo
torists are not removed by 'the fact that lessons in
safely crossing the streets are given pupils at
school.
In the closely watched and congested down
towa sections traffic rules are fairly well ob
served by drivers, but ' the temptation to step
on the gas while running through the residence
streets -rs-eftea too great to be resisted. If
torists are then off their guard, so arc pedes
trans, large and small. .
Thta, too, there will always be the child ho
has not acquired the extreme tense of caution
which It accessary in order to avoid street dan-
gers. Many will continue to misjudge the specrd
of an oncoming car. Even grown persons may
become confused, and there are the old whose
bearing or tight it poor and who can not move
at fast it may become nccettsry.
That caution it being taught must not be al
lowed to give motorists a false tense of iinmun
ity from accidents. ' Additional safeguards, in
eluding a tightening up of the traffic regulations
and more rigid enforcement thould be provided
by the city. It ought also to be considered
whether there are enough traffic officers to give
adequttc protection.
' Erie Canal and St Lawrence Project.
We note with tome surprise that Congress
man. McLaughlin hat committed himself to the
New York state barge anal as the solution of
the demand from Nebraska for a better water
roett to the seaboard. Also, we feel quite cer
tain that when Mr. McLaughlin hat more care
fully investigated the situation, he will revise hit
conclusions materially.
The Erie canal is probably capable of hand'
ling the 10,000,000 tons of freight either way its
promoters claim for it, but that use will yet be
local to a large extent; to apply it to Nebraska
will necessitate unloading from cars to lake boats
or barges at Chicago or Milwaukee; another
transfer at Buffalo to the canal barges, not al
ways, but often enough to be burdensome, and
a third reloading to ocean-going vessels at New
York. Twice and frequently thrice the grain will
have to be handled before it reaches a deep-sea
bottom. Each time adds to the cost of ship
ment On the lakes-to-ocean route, the grain
from Nebraska will be loaded from the cars
into the ocean-going vessel 1,000 miles nearer to
the field, and with the expense of but a single
transfer. This item alone is sufficient to justify
the building of the St Latvrence canal.
As to the use of the Erie canal, the New
York Times, discussing the possibilities of its
service in event of a railroad strike, says: .
If, therefore, the canal were equipped with
barges, motor boats and other craft for carry
ing to capacity, and "fleets" of motor trucks
were organized to supplement the water trans
portation, one can imagine how the major
needs of 80 per cent of New York state's pop
ulation might be met in an emergency.
Nebraska's interests are manifestly with the
St Lawrence project, for the advantage of hav
ing two strings to one's bow is yet plain, and
just as the state can not afford to depend on
one railroad, so it ought not to be restricted to
a tingle canal, especially when that canal prom
ises added cost because of increased handling of
grain from carrier to carrier.
Pouring Water on a Dying Weed.
What Americans during the war thought
would never- be seen again' politicians are now
trying to bring forth into the light and revive.
Of all the great expectations which solaced the
nation in its hour of trial, none was held more
precious than that for all time the people of this
land should be Americans first and not allow
their racial relationships to enter into questions
of American policy. '
To the credit of the foreign born it must be
taid that they pretty well have lived up to this
ideal. If only the politicians would refrain from
encouraging the sense of divided 'allegiance, noth
ing more might be heard of it. There are great
issues before the citizens home issues, which
do not touch directly on any foreign problems.
What then, must be said of the type of states
manship which would inject racial interests into
their solution? ,
It is an insult to every man with German
blood m his veins for a politician to assume that
support of a measure that would guarantee the
sending of American troops to Germany if that
country should be attacked (an amendment,
howeve that stood absolutely no chance of ac
ceptance), would attract a racial vote. Such
maneuvers ought to be emphatically disapproved
by those of German blood as well as by Ameri
cans born. They have no bearing on the tight
ness' or wrongness of the politician in question
on the real issues before the American people.
, These .tactics may once have been successful,
but things have changed. Citizens of every class
and kind learned during the1 war to put aside
these irrelevancies, but the lesson is yet to be
taught to the tribe of office-seekers.

Partners for Better or for Worse.
City folk have always been generous with
their advice to the farmers, but it is not often
that a man from the country is privileged to
take a day off from corn husking and come to
town to speak his mind before an audience of
men influential in the business world. The agri
cultural committee of the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce has created, such an opportunity, and
has invited a number of representatives of farm
organizations to speak at its weekly meetings.
The first of these spokesmen for agriculture
was J. O. Shroyer of Humboldt, an official of
the Farmers' union. He brought a first-hand
knowledge of the precarious rural conditions and
laid many serious problems before the bankers,
railroad and business men of the committee.
Even though at points he and his hearers did not
see eye to eye, yet each gained something help
ful through learning the other's viewpoint.
, There is no prosperity unless all is well on
the soil. The problem is one in which city and
country must co-operate. Carl R. Gray, as
chairman of the agricultural committee, and D. 1
P. Hogan, vice chairman, have done well to make
possible this round table discussion between
farm and city. Farmers go to farmers' meet
ings and business men go to conferences of their
own, but too rarely do the two interests meet
jointly. With so much in common and so little
in actual conflict, an interchange of ideas should
prove H mutual benefit. Agriculture and busi
ness in Nebraska are not competitors, not rivals,
but full partners, both in prosperity and ad
versity. If the worst came to the worst, perhaps the
stockholders would be willing to operate the rail
roads. That would be the Plumb plan with trim

but no one who has closely watched

arraignment of this ecU-styled
farmer bunch is strictly In accord
ance with the cold facta. Less gov
ernment In business and more busi
ness In government has no appeal
to thl clasa legislation bunch. They
may In some Instances be sincere In
wantlnir to help the farmers, but
generally It hits the appearance of
gallery piuying. Termors are in
sore straltB. they hnve been com
pelled to sell the fruits of their toil
at much below the cost of produe
tlon, they have been compelled to
pay exhorbltiint prices for hired
help to save their crops. They have
been forced to pay better than 100
per cent advance on all they buy
while selling their grain at less than
pre-war prices. Through criminal
speculation they are compelled to
pay confiscating tuxes on watered
stock in their farms. Every farmer
who knows enough to go In out of
the rain la familiar with these facts
from sad experience. It does not
help one bit to have a bunch of our
congressmen wasting their salary
anil time repeating these facts and
at the same time concocting legis
lation that can do nothing but
aggravate our troubles. Farmers
cannot be helped by destroying the
Incentive for capital to seek invest
ment in business enterprise. They
cannot be helped by having their
stock markets and grain markets
placed in the hands of meddling
bureaus whose only knowledge of
the business is what they learn
from socialistic knockers.
Farmers' self-respect is in no way
enhanced by their self-styled lead
ers putting them in the class of
the labor unions, which are more
than any other one thing the cause
of the farmers' misery. Senator
Moses made a home thrust when
he pointed out that these political
farmers had provided in their tax
bill that their own salaries were to
be protected from taxes. Another
point that Moses made was that it
mattered little what method we pro
vlded for seeking out new sources
of Income if we did not curtail the
extravagant waste in government
expenditures, which are not' only a
gigantic load upon the shoulders of
the general public but a wicked ex
ample for individual waste and ex
travagance. Farmers are econo
mizing; they are not branching out
in improvements, they are buying
only actual necessities and trying
their best to meet their taxes, and
save their farms. - This, while the
farm bloc in congress is staging ail
kinds of fad legislation and under
the cloak of helping the farmers
are almost Russianizing our govern
ment in establishing high salaried
bureaus of all descriptions. This
bloc makes the welkin ring with the
sin of putting money in tax exempt
securities and at the same time they
are manufacturing legislation to
drive capital into hiding. Farmers
are the most misrepresented class
in congress today and ; out of con
gress they are burdened with farm
bureau officials who draw princely
salaries like union labor leaders and
with them spend their time preach
ing class hatred. . Our country needs
co-operation between all classes If
we would prosper. We needlegis
lative economy if we can hope for
individual frugality.
Taxes must of necessity be heavy,
but there is no call for making them
greater by increasing, salaried offi
cials either- in the national govern
ment or that of the state. Strikes
such as is proposed should be made
a felony, yet .every man should be
protected in the right to labor or
quit work, and such a thing as the
closed shop should be banished, as
we hope for a free America.

" Why Ask the Farmers?
Tekamah, Neb., Oct. J4. To the
Editor of The Bee: I noticed in the
headlines of The Bee last Friday
Governor McKelvle had written Her
bert Hoover he intended calling on
the farmers to give the unemployed
board and. lodging free this winter,
and that in payment they could do
odd Jobs for the farmer.
Why ask the farmer? ; '
Haven't the farmers load enough
to carry?
How about the business man in
the towns and cities boarding them
for odd jobs or janitor work ? .
Don't ask the farmer, for God
knows the most of them have all
they can do to keep themselves.
There are plerity of them who can
not sell out and pay their debts, and
some owe large store bills. I don't
think the local merchant feels like
carrying the farmer who will take
in the jobless to board. Somebody
would have the farmer to keep if
he refused to work for reduced
wages, as lots of the jobless have
done. .
If Governor McKelvle will send ns
some of the jobless men now while
wa have plenty of corn to pick, we
can make use of them and pay them
good wages besides. You can see In
the dailys farmers calling for corn
pickers all over the corn belt, and
they cannot get half enough men.
After the corn .is out they will want
jobs then, and next August will want
a Job shoveling snow. I think, most
of the jobless are well satisfied with
our work. Let them come out to
the farms and get three squares a
day and "some real labor connected
with it
I was lucky enough to have three
of those jobless men picking corn at
4 cents and board. The three finallv
picked 400 bushels and beat it. And
1 guess they are jobless again.
Here ia hoping the governor will
take a glimpse at this letter. . Maybe
he will winter some of them. Let
us near from others on this subject
wno are wining to winter the job
less. m. h. Mcdonald.

Government lo Abandon
Great Lakes Station
Washington, Oct. 28-Vlrtoal '
abandonment of government sctivU
tici at the Crest l-sbei naval train
ing station is announced by Secre
tary of the Navy Denby in a Utter
to Senator McCormick of Illinois,
made public yesterday.
"The policy of conceutrating re
cruit training at J lampion Rosds
and San Frsnciico has been adopted
in order to economise, both In money
and men," Mr. Denby wrote. The
number of recruits at present being
enlisted is 300 per week, and ol
those 200 are sent to Hampton
Roads and 100 to San Francisco.
Owing to this small number ol
recruits required, the department
considers that Jt is more economics!
to concentrate them at these two
traininir stations, where there are
ample facilities for handling them.
