THE Railroad Lubor Board didn't end the Ktrike. The million and
a half railroad. workers who refused to walk out, ended it. With
such a tremendous defection in their own ranks the Big Four realized
they were beaten before they started, and their only aim the past
few days, wiis to find some graceful way out.
Now that the strike has beeii called off, the necessity of providing
the labor board with authority is the outstanding lesson of the entire
crisis. If the public interest is to be protected in the future, the
legislation authorizing the- creation of a labor board, must be fitted
with a set of teeth. , :
Unwarranted as the strike order was, the resulting alarm, lias
cleared the atmosphere, aiid by clearing it, has made certain phases
of the situation, plain. ' ' , (; '-;. '
, Neither, the railroad executives nor the railroad employees came
before the labor board with skirts clean. While the strike order was
the more serious infraction, because it threatened public, disaster, both
sides to the controversy, were convicted of flouting the orders and
decisions of the labor board, and both therefore were in a sense self
condemned. ; ...,,..
Disregarding the rulings of the labor board, at least half a dozen
raifroads had reduced wages others had refused authorized benefits,
so that when a strike order was issued, the brotherhood chiefs were
- ..... .1 : ... li . 1.: .i..t. 1. ..h .
periecuy jiiklh-H-'M 'M Sv i.nK .lyey were niurujy iiuiug wuut uiu imi-
rond executives had already done. ...
So nothing enii now be gained by bitterneBs and recrimination.
Nothing could be more disastrous for the future welfare of this coum
try, than for the railroad executives to take advantage of this victory
arid attempt to destroy union organization on their lilies.
' The line of patriotic duty and good citizenship points directly to a
program of understanding. The railroad executives must be made to
understand on one hand, that labor can not be denied the right of or
ganization, that the open shop does not and must not -mean the shop
closed to union men, that labor organized, contented and self-respect
ing, is just as necessary to the welfare of capital, as to the welfare of
labor. iV;:,-sl-The
railroad employees must be made to understand on the other
hand, that tho power which' organization allows, must not be abused,
that they are not above the law, economic or judicial, that when their
selfish interests conflict with the public interest, the latter rauaj pre
vail. .,'',.,-. ..'..'.. ' '' "' ;
, And finally, both must be made to understand that when the people
create a body like the labor board, the rulings of that body areor
should be, final, -that one side can no more disregard, them than
the other, and that both must yield to an authority higher than them
selves the authority of society itself. .-, . " V'
ENFORCE THE ORDINANCE.
THERE is ail ordinance, in Medford compelling the Southern Pa
cific liot to block traffic at the Main Street' crossing more thaii
five minutes. 'It's a good ordinance." Why not enforce it? This morn
ing traffic wiis held up 12 minutes by the watch and in 'addition to
other annoyances a score of school children were marked tardy in
consequence. Enforce the ordinance. ., .

THE IDEAL CLIMATE.
I'M LiyiXiG.in a pleasant valley with no extremes of. heat or"
cold, and here the aged and weary rally,- to linger till their
knells are tolled. No blizzards, with their angry roaring, disturb .
our ealni, or records break ; we are not frozen, while we're snoring,
or broiled or baked when we're nfwake. The days arc mildly warm '
and hazy, the kind of days good judges pick ; ami we've all grown
so all-fired lazy wc lack the pep. to make a kick. Alt day we
bask on strips of lumber, all day Ave loiter in the sun, and nod and ;
yawn and sample slumber, and put off chores that should be done.
And this will do for ancient fellows with shining domes and
rheumy glims, who suffer from asthmatic bellows, and spavins
on their starboard limbs. But if I had an heir-apparent, and he
desired to anchor here, I'd say, "Augustus John,.you daren't
'twold make you worthless in a year. Here we old graybeards
herd together; we don't need pop, for we are through ; but young
men need some wintry weather to tone up heart and brain and
thew. The raging blizzards are unsightly, but they are better far
a man than languid winds that come politely and make of him an
"also-ran. '' I don 't indorse 'the perfect climate,' devoid of ele
mental stress ; I have good reason, and I'd rhyme it, but I'm too
lazy, I confess."- - 'S,' - j ..';.
