AN UNAUTHORIZED STRIKE.
PRKSIDKNT WILSON went .lie limit ceinii)j,'ly in
viiin in liclialf of Hit' railroad lirolhcrlioods when lie
I'oi'ct'd tliroiiKh the Adainson 8-Jiom- law last September.
AVntliritf a decision njion its validity, tlx; brotherhood
cliii'fs owe it to tho president not hporder a strike.
A tfivat railroad strike is the last move that should lie
resorted to in normal times. A strike when the country is
on the vcre oftwar is little less than criminal. It is 'un
patriotic a it paralyzes the business and commerce of t he
nation and effectually blocks the strenuous efforts being
made for national .preparedness and brings about wide
spread demoralization and suffering.
The auiliority upon which the strike is called is the ref
erendum vote taken eight months ago, when conditions
were normal. It is an open question whether this authori
zation was not cancelled automatically by the passage aiid
acceptance by the trainmen of the Adamson law. As a
coiisequcii 'c, it is doubtful if anything like a majority of
the trainmen obey the arrogant dictation of their chiefs.
.1 f the brotherhood leaders reject the president's appeal
to their patriotism along with their rejection of compro
mise and arbitration, -and with their refusal to await the
decision of the x-ourt, they deserve the defeat in store for
them at the hands of an outraged people. There will be no
temporizing by patriotic public, sentiment.
The trainmen's chiefs have gone too far.' The brother
hoods owe it to themselves as well as the nation to recall
their leaders for unwarranted and unjustifiable usurpa
tion of power.

SIBERIAN EXILES, FREED
BY RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
.LONDON, Mar. It. Addressing
thousands of soldiers and civilians
from the gallery o( tho lobby of tho
du ma,' Deputy Kerenskl, the now Rus
sian minister of justice, says a lieu-
tor's dispatch from Potrograd dated
today, announced thnt tho provisional
government toolc office by virtue of
an agreement with workmen's and
soldiers' delegates. The council of
those dologatos approved the agree
ment by several hundred votes to fif
teen. The first act of tho new gov
ernment, M, Iorcnskl declared, has
boon the immediate publication of a
decree of full amnoBty. Continuing,
the dispatch adds, the minister of
Justice said:
"Our comrades of tho second and
fourth ilunies who wore banished to
the tundras of Siberia will bo releas
ed forthwith. In my jurisdiction are
all tho premiers and ministers of the
old regime. Thoy will answer before
tho law for all crimes against the
people."
"Show them no mercy!" Many
voices in the crowd exclaimed.
ConirndOB," addod M. .lerenski,
"regonetaled Russia will not have re
course to tho shameful methods util
ized by tho old reglmo. Without trial
nona will bo condemned. All prison
ers will be tried In open court.
"Comrades! soldiers! cltl7.cns! All
measures taken by the new govern
ment wll be published. Soldiers, I
ask you to cooperate Freo Russia
now Is born and none will succeed In
wresting liberty from tho hands of
tho pooplo. llo not listen .to tho
promptings of the agents of tho old
regime Listen to your officers. Long
llvo freo Russia!
Tho spoech was greeted by a storm
of chcoriiig.
Tho labor loader Chkholzof, ad
dressing ol fleers and soldiers, paid a
glowing trlbuto to tho soldiers and
worklngmen, who had participated in
accomplishing the revolution, llo
recounted, tho dispatch says, tho re
cent provocative efforts of the secret
police in publishing proclamations re
garding tho murders of officers by
soldiers, llo exhorted tho soldiers to
regard tliolr officers as citizens who
had helped raise t lie revolutionary
nag nnu ns mothers in tho great
cause of Russian liberty.
