RAILROAD UNIONS

Washington, Oct. 2Z.tii railroad em
ployes lost a great opportunity in the
present trouble,: The Jabor forces usual
ly do lose opportunity. If the capitalists
are traak. in wisdom , and long distance
foresight, the union leaders ' are weak
In tactics. :.
I They have gotten themselves Into "lien
a predicament now. in threatening: the
governmental machinery and the public
'peace, that they are eager to get out
of the mess. Tet a little while ago they
had a full opportunity to gain a victory
ithat would "have greatly increased their
i prestige and put ther opponents in a
hole. '.
All they needed to do was to sayto
the Pennsylvania and the "Erie:
"You are refusing, to accept the or
ders issued hv the properly constituted
eovernmental authority. TVs will strike;
against you, unless you do accept the
f indlnaa of , the board. If the govern-

i Pass Widely Signed
Hood River-Oct. XL. A petition, call
ing on the Portland water department to
abandon its, opposition to the opening of
the Lolo pass, which borders the Bull
Run reserve in Hood River county, re
cently has been extensively signed by
prominent men of Portland and it is ex-.
pected that in the near future. It will be
presented to the municipality for an ex
pression of opinion. .. ' "v-
District Forester George Cecil "Is
.strongly to "favor of pie project and
states that, once Portland's- opposition
is withdrawn, there will be -every: pros
pect of t)pc pass road being put through
at an early date. From Its diversion
from the Lost Lake road, the present
trail commands some wonderful scenery,
though up to The present it is known
only to anglers, hunters and the foresters.
Iment will not or cannot enforce its
recommendations, we will enofrce them
jby economic pressure."'
MEANT .OBEDIESCE , .
I It is obvious that with that one step
'tHnr would have nut the balky roads
4n wrong and would have put .themselves
iln a particularly strong posiuon. mt
.Tirtf that thev would have had to pay
was obedience on their pan, auw, out
that price they will have to, pay ny.
WAV. ' ' st -c
If: they strike, they will lose. The
innroHHorl iixe . of the- automobile will
make it easier to deliver food, and the
public will be almost solid against the
str kers. f they sro out wunoui inuicai-
Mnf? a wlltlngnesB on their part to sub
mit in pfivfrnmsniai nnaings.
In congressional circles It is thought
that there will be a compromise lnvolv;
tnir the railroad funding plan. If the
roads obey the wage board, if In addi
tion it Is agreed that agricultural rates
are to go down Immediately, then con
gress will surely pass the bill making
the railroad? what amounts to a loan
of $500,000,000.
VICTOR FOR BOTH
If this happens if both sides submit
to the wage board, if agricultural freight
nt to down and if the half billion
loan is made then each side will be
able to boast that it came out creditably
from the scrimmage
.lames , J. Hill was a great railroad
man. When he decided to scrap the
light engines and cars- of his time he
was right, for his particular road. But
he was immediately Imitated by other
managers all over the1 country without
any Btudy. whatever.
These heavier engines.- heavier cars
and longer trains meant new roadbeds.
new bridges, more expensive equipment
of every, kind. This heavier expense
was brought about with no .study of
future tendencies and stands as a con
stant element of cost today. f
TRICK CHANGES THINGS
Now the light motor, truck comes
.along and takes away another popular
branch of trade rrom the raiiroaas. it
lg customary to estimate that the motor
can compete successfully against the
railroad jt a distance of 125 miles.
When -the country wtujl ulltupand ,
costs were low, he only problem was
to get enough traffic. As the traffic
increased, great melons were cut and
the managers continued to. think An
terms of Increased traffic. They nevef
realized that the Increase in traffic
might bethe thing that would break
them down. -
Increased costs, water competition and
motor competition have caught these men
without a plan. Their whole Idea has
broken down. Unless they can do ' an
entirely new kind of thinking, traffic
by rail will play a rapidly lessening part
in transportation. It will go down as
water ia revivtd and as gasoline ex
pands, t

"France must remain.armed as long as her security has not been assured," announces Premier
Briand, who is expected to head the French delegation, to the arms parley. ".No country more than '
ours desires to limit military burdens," he declares; but he goes on to make it no less emphatically clear
that any reduction of the size of the French army must depend upon "the elimination of the German
"menace- in other words, an Allied understanding for the protectioij of France. Says the Paris Temps,
expressing a" point of view' echoed in dozens of its contemporaries: "The security of France means
the peace of Europe. It is a basic condition of economic and political solidarity in the world " '.
President Harding's call to the Washington Conference says that the .question of naval armament
will "naturally have first place," altho "it has been-thought best pot to exclude questions pertaining ,
to other armament." How naval disarmament can end war on lapd 'seems to puzzle the French, who -recall
that Belgium and France w-ere not invaded by a navy in 194, and who at this moment see the
jealous nations of Europe facing each other within easy marching distance. "France has not the
slightest intentiomof abandoning what she considers her just' right to security," says Paul Scott
Mowrerin October Current Opinion. Unless France can be assured of the moral support of the
t Allies, "the French delegates will not discuss the reduction of land armament," declares, the New York
Tribune. I . ' ;

Equally pessimistic, but less sympathetic, is Mr. Hearst's New .York
confidently be taken for granted that neither. Japan, England ho rFrance has the remotest intention of abandoning
imperialism or militarism at the Washington Conference," and insists that "the United States should not make
any sort of alliance with any other Power or Powers." There is "not a chance" of the United States entering into
any such alliance, declares the Des Moines Register. '
