Labor unions have been necessary to secure to the individual working mnn nn opportunity to deal rfifh liis em ployer on an equality nnd, free from the duress of immediate want of a daily wage, to demand what he regards In th.s country, nt least, trade unions have been conservative in not enlarging their field of action to include political support of genernl government poli-l CIP!- The controversy in the ranks of labor iinionUm has been between those who . , , ,. .., f I "We have long known how earnestly and. on the whole, mcccssfully, Sam- ed the President uel tiompers has fought he ocialists .- ill .r .-ntiin the American federation of I.nhor . u f ,,',., ",,,,, J';'iiu .

In the exigencies of politics the probability that, the five labor votes will find sup port in the governmental five, to enable the five -labor votes to control the policy of the railroads as to compensa tion for the men, may well be assumed. Public Interest Relegated Wo find no suggestion that the rail road emplojcs are to give up the right to Ftrike under this tripartite control. If we add to the influence that the labor representatives will nominally have in the board the threat and fear of a strike against nn ndvprse direction, the plan is seen to be. one to turn over the railroads of the country to tho control of the railroad workers for their prim ary benefit. In the nature of things, the interest i of the public, which should bc the 'chief object of the railroad system, will, llmlcr sllch tt plan bccornf, secondary, ,, ,. ,. , ''overnment ownership und operation have been failures as compared with I private management in every country i except in Prussia, where the control was absolute and nonpoliticnl. The ' public has never been served ns well aii.l ns cheaply in any country ns in , ,- itp(, y, t j ,,rIvatl. , ' ageinent. cilides have not been increased as tlie growth of the country demanded, be cause capital has been frightened. We have now had an object lesson in gov ernment ownership. We have found that in spite of all the economies that unit control ncr- I milted and which thennti trust law for bade to private management, the rail roads under the government have not served the public aH well ns formerly, although much higher rates have been charged. Railroad Deficit Increases There has resulted, too, a rapidly in creasing deficit which stimulates the de sire of the administration to get rid of the responsibility. That this railroad brotherhood plan would p'oduee demoralization in the railroad system of this country, most persons with real knowledge are con vinced. Wages would increase with labor control -and so would .deficits. Tlie absence of initiative through in dividual reward for close and effective management would greatly interfere with satisfactory service. More than this, the plan here proposed is but the first step toward national management of all general industries under a simi lar control. Whether its projectors realize it of not. it is n proposnl to revolutionize our whole industrial sjstem. It is to de stroy as far us possible the element in our business growth which has made it possible, to wit, individual initiative, nnd it is to substitute for it the lazy, wasteful, indifferent management of great enterprises in the interest of ehielly one part of our community, to wit, organized labor. Says Unions Wouldn't Benefit It will not take many years of such an experiment in the face of stern eco nomic penalties to show that it is not even in the interest of the very unions which propose to put it through. The rnilroad brotherhoods have al ways had the reputation of being most conservatively managed. They have not until recently affiliated with the Amer lean Federation. But they have been changed by a consciousness of power. In asking for the passage of the Adamson law, they threatened that un less their demands for higher pay were immediately granted they would starve the country into submission by stop ping every railway wheel. It was in the midst of a presidential election. They refused arbitration. The Presi - dent and Congress yielded. We are now to nav the nenaltv for that surrender in having to deal with a proposal that never would have been (- EVENING PUBLIC advanced but for that brotherhood vic tory. No one should minimize the critical ntture of the tisue. The plan is put forth at a time when tho whole indus trial situation is seething with unrest.

Into such a situation the railroad labor leaders throw their project and accompany It with an ably drawn but specious statement in its spirit. What is to be done? The proposal should be opposed fairly and candidly, with courage and with calmness. It is to be hoped that politicians will forget their nlmblencss in dodging is sues and will be startled by the serious consequences of a halting policy into a bold and brave attitude. ti. O. P. Attitude Certain The IiPpublican party through the leadership of Mr. Hays, chairman ot its natioual committee, by resolutions of that committee last winter, left no doubt where it must stand on this issue. As Mr. Hughes fought the Adamson law, so must the Republican party fight this plan. But Mr. Hughes was embarrassed in many states by wcak-kncol Republican candidates for governor! for senator, nnd for Con gress, who flinched from the issue. No such trimmprs must be put on guard this time. The Republican party must make a Hat-footed Issue und fight it out. All who are not with the party on it arc against it. Let defeat come, if it must, iu the first clash. Hut let the party fight ou, for our whole economic sjstem of individual initiative and industrial freedom is at stake. Let us hope that the Democratic party, too will condemn Ibis plau and leave the railroad men and their sup- porters to run separate tickets iu the presidential election.

The peace treaty was denounced ns a "one-man" document by I'nited States Senator Spencer, of Missouri, in an address here yesterday. "The President, confident alike of the sincerity and wisdom of his own personal views, elected to negotiate the treaty himself," continued the sena tor. "A one-man treaty tends to breed distrust and suspicion in the minds of those who are not in political or social sympathy with tho man w.ho created it.

LEDGER-PEDLLADELPHIA, SATURDAY, E Half-Holiday Throng Falls to Gather at B. R. T. Terminals as Usual MEDIATION PLAN WABBLING By the Associated Press New York, Aug. .0. The usual Sat urday throngs nt Manhattan terminals of Brooklyn Rapid Transit Compnny lines to Coney Island and Brighton Bench were absent early today. The strike of Brooklyn enrmeni which for three days has virtually stopped traffic ou the surface, subway and elevated lines of the compnny, made the tlc-up equally as complete today. A few elevated nnd subway trains were operated during the night, but the service was sporadic nnd the patronage extremely light. No surface cars were operated after 0 o'clock last night and the number ordered out of the barns this morning was greatly inadequate for the traffic demands. In an effort to settle the strike, Lewis Nixon, public service commissioner, ar ranged to meet n committee of strikers nnd listen to their grievances. In view of tlie declaration of Llndley M. Gar rison, receiver' for tho Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, that he would not trent with a committee that represented the union, it was Commissioner Nixon's plan to urge nppointment of a repre sentative delegation of all employes. Am recognition of the union is chief among the strikers' demands, however, much doubt wns expressed that Mr. Niton's plan would be successful. The possibility that the strike might soon spread to surface lines in Man hattan loomed large last night, when nt a meeting of ."00 employes of the New York City Street Hallways Company, called by officials to question the men regarding the repoit that they Intended to strike for increased wages, the mo tormen and conductors openly expressed dissatisfaction. Wilson on Tour to Attack H. C. L. Continued rrom Paee One ratification of the peace treaty and the cost of living. The references in the address to the attitude of labor leaders and the ex pressed belief that these lenders would yield soon to second sober thought, were approved generally by members of both parties. Beyond extension of the powers of the food control act, regulation of the storage of foodstuffs and early ratifica tion of the peace treaty, so as t allow the law of supply nnd demand to oper ate, the President urged legislation for the control of security issues and ad ditional appropriations for government agencies to supply the public with in formation as to prices paid by retailers for goods. The food control act, he told Con gress, should be extended to peace times, with its application covering clothing, fuel and other necessities of life, iih well as food, and a penalty for hoarding in serted. To Forrc Food on Market New steps by the executive depart- mciits of the government to reduce the l'08t of ,ivinB WIM' expected today to 1)p started at once along lines laid down by the President, who promised immedi ate steps to limit and control whent shipments and credits, so ns to facili tate the purchase of wheat, with n view to lowering the price of flour, to sell surplus government stocks of food nnd clothing und to force withdrawal of foodstuffs from storage. Attorney General Palmer's instruc tions issued today were that the spe cial ngents of the Department of Jus tice should drop everything but the most pressing cases now pending and devote their entire attention to assisting in the campaign to reduce the cost of living. The result will be to put hundreds of trained investigators in the search for men who have inflated prices exorbi- tantly. .While it was not so slated, the im pression was gained that nothing hut the investigation of radical propaganda which resulted in recent bomb outrages would be ullowcd to interfere with the Department of Justice efforts to punish profiteering, Woift "Bully" Public, Labor Leaders Say Continued Imi Tore One brotherhood officials in Nebraska, Sen ator Hitchcock said: "In my opinion Congress would not be justified iu cnucting such radical leg islation without a mandate from the people. The railroad organizations have raised a very large question one that should not be passed upon by Congress without becoming the Issue in n general election. I am opposed to the bill." Gleun K.

Chicago, Aug. 11. While signs of improvement in the strike of federated railroad shopmen were indicated bv re ports from Centrnl West points, others showed that at some divisional points the men were disinclined to heed the advice of President Wilson and their grand lodge officers to return to work, pending a wage settlement. The reports from midwest points said that upward of 20,000 shopmen had gone back In response to the warning of the President that their wage grievances would not be adjusted until they returned to work, supplemented by the urging of the grnnd lodge officials. It had previously been inti mated that only -10,000 of the 500,000 went on strike. West Is Obstinate From Last, South, Southwest and far West came reports that the men had decided not to return to work until their wage demands were met. Ad- vices from Atlanta, Ga,, Were to the effect that the .executive committee, of ft "'. BROOKLYN CM the affiliated craftsmen had adopted resolutions not to resume operations until their wages had been adjusted. Denver, Col., reported a similar atti tude on the part of more than 3500 men In the rnllw'ay shops there, and Little Rock, Ark., messages stated that 1600 workmen nt that point had decided not to go hack to their jobs until they were assured of more pay. Indianapolis shopmen also were holding back, while In the Kast many shopmen In the vi cinity ot Boston decided to remain out. At Kansas City 4000 of tho crafts men were reported at work, whllo sim liar action was taken by 10,000 others at Council Bluffs, In. At Indianapolis 400 shopmen voted to return to work. More than 000 Grand Trunk shopmen wnlked out nt Fort Huron this morn ing. About a score of machinists re main nt work in the shops there. Limited embargoes on freight were continued on nearly nil roads,, but the most pronounced freight regulations in cidental to the strike were on the New England lines. The Boston nnd Maine Railroad de clared nn embargo ngalnst all freight from connecting points except milk nnd perishable food stuffs. Officials an nounced, however, that they would con tinue to handle locnl freight for the present. rurther curtailment of passenger service on the New Haven Rystcm was announced after a number of round house employes quit work. Tho Sundny train schedule, the management said, would be very materially reduced nnd if strike conditions did not Improve be fore Monday many more trains would be discontinued. While several other railroads an nounced the discontinuance of passen ger trains, principally local, the Chesa peake and Ohio gave notice of the restoration to schedule of two trains between Cincinnati and Chicago. R. II. Aisbton, northwest regional director of rnilroads, said: "The Fituatlon appears extremely en couraging. We nre hopeful that the President's nctiom will make the men realize how- ill-advised their course has been. There is no immediate occasion for the public to be alarmed. The trains that has ben canceled arc those which may be easily dispensed with nnd tho purpose is merely to keep tho engines in repnlr for hauling foodstuffs, milk nnd ice in the event of a really critical situation." Hale Holdcn, central western regional director, took a similar view. Licensing Plan Target in Congress Continued rrom Tare On hitherto been too heavy for the govern ment. Where Wilson Really Punches Iu u sense, too, it probably would mean that the test of u corporation's fitness to do - nation-wide business would not bc its structure and pur poses, but nctunl practices and their consequences upon the public. This part of the President's plan is radical. By means of it rather than nnythlng else the President escapes the pitfall of coming to Congress and snjing noth ing but words. The opinion of Wash ington is unmistakable. Mr. Wilson met the difficult iuc suddenly pre sented to him better than had been ex pected. Ills address, it is believed, will quiet public, opinion, and, if Congress rc s'.ts him',' or even is slow in giving .lim the power he asks, ho will have an excuse before the country. He has diverted public cluiiior from the White House to the Capitol, which is good politics. For the most part the address steered a well-chosen course of moderation be tween promising too much nnd asking too drastic powers and saying nothing but words nnd offering no concrete! remedies. On the threats of union labor the President was wholesome, I without committing himself to anything concrete, except to do his utmost to prevent strikes. What that utmost will bc, the future alone will disclose. It may disappoint sonic of the conserva tive Democrats, who were so rapturous when he announced his firmness in the face ot thtcats. League Reference Poor Politics Dragging the league of nations con troversy into the uddress wns not so well considered. It irritated the Re: publicans, who may justly reply that his own failure to furnish fnformatiou to the Senate foreign relations commit tee, the fnilure of his own secretary of state throw light in dark places, the absence of essential documents which the White House withholds, is delay ing the signing of the peace. More over, the theory that delay over ratifi cation of the treaty is forcing up the cost of living is-too absurd to be ac cepted by the country. Viewed coldly by economists, the President's address proves lhat, as au economist, the President is an excellent psychologist. Wasn't It he who re ferred to the last business crisis in this country ns "purely psychological"? It Is to the psychological facts in high prices that the President solely directs himself. The popular naDit ot retusing to buy ap article if its price goes above a certain limit hjis disappeared. There fore, the profiteers have become bold. Applied Psychology This Js virtually all thcro is to the President s theory. Let us frighten the nrofiteers with a show of natioual authority. Let us get the people once more Into the habit of having a limit beyond which they will not go in paying for an article by informing them of wholesale costs.

Profiteering Is one of the causes of high prices nnd profiteering makes the most pf the opportunity created by the belief that all previous standards are gone and that the people must expect ever-increasing prices. In popular psy chology, momentous prices are dramatic. Big public enemies somewhero behind the scenes are guilty. The big public friend, the President, may punish the sinners. The President's address ap. peals cleverly to this popular concep tion. In political economy, tho cm phnsls on the President's mind is always on the word "political." Where the Rub Cornea On the great fundamental reason for high prices the President has not a word to say. It Is not a popular subject. The production of riper money has gone on a good deal faster than tho produc tion of commodities. To bring about a parity it is necessary to reverse gears In the production of paper money nnd put on full speed ahead In the produc tion ot commodities. The only danger in the President's psychological remedy for high prices Is that it may Interfere with this process. If any one checks the full speed ahead In tho production of commodities, whether he is a railroad striker, Mr. Wilson fears, or n President, he will only make the next estate of the purse empty mnsscs worse than its present estate. Gabell Is Held Under $10,000 Bail Continued From Tnee One ncy, John Lnmon, while Mr. Cortclyou telephoned to James Gay Gordon, St., who has charge of the prosecutions un der Joseph II. Taulane, assistant dis trict attorney. Arrangements were made for n speedy hearing in City Hall. Shortly before 10.30, Gabell," chat ting and laughing with the detectives nnd newspapermen, left the office and proceeded to the office of Magistrate Kvan T. Penuock in City Hall. The prisoner notified the newspapermen that he had come to the city voluntarily. He was first taken into the. magis trate's private office. His attitude was fnr different from tho other men ar rested in the case. He was apparently happy and did not seem concerned in the least. After a short conversation, ths prisoner and detectives entered the courtroom which was well filled. Here the regular criminal hearings were held up for less thnn five minutes while the prisoner was placed in the dock and the speedy hearing concluded. Shields Faco With Hat Gabell, as he stood in tho dock, shielded his light face with a straw hat as photographers got to work. He is a man of about forty-five years of age, heavy set, wearing a small mustache. llis hair and mustache arc light, lie wore a looc-fitting palm beach suit, a green tic und expensive scarf pin. Charles Runner, the clerk, called his name. Then Mr. Gordon arose nnd told the ningistrate that the prisoner was accused ou the same charge as Michel and asked that bail be fixed for $10,000 und n further hearing scheduled for August 'JL'. Magistrate Penuock uodded his head. Then the prisoner's lawyer nodded his head. Gabell gave his name and address to the clerk in u clear voice. "Have you bail?" asked the magis trate. "Yes," said Gabell. "It will bc here in a few minutes." "All rlglit," said the 'judge. The hearing over, the mau was taken into the private office to await the ar rival of his bondsman.

He produced deeds to several prop erties near his home valued at $15,000 and unincumbered. This was accepted, "the necessary papers signed and the prisoner released. He left the magis trate's office with his lawyer and walked down the northeast stairway to the street. This was at 11:15.
