Demand the Impossible Tho lenders of the engineers and trainmen hare said that the would be satisfied -with a reduction in the cost of lltln Instead of Increased wages. But If th'ey mean a substantial reduc tion In the cost of living they have de manded the impossible. . one can change the current of prices for the better In time to afford milch relief. What tbc course of these leaders and their men will be in case the ahopmen begin a strike, no one can My. The fact that behind them stand all Other classes of railroad labor, maklnc or about to make similar demands, will probably embolden the shopmen, or at teast encourage their more radical leaders. Wilson Had No Choice It Is this same fact which has given the President the courage to take the stand he hns. Mr. Wilson will receive jrtat praise for no yielding tn the rtiopmen, but in truth he could not do otherwise thHn he has done. To have granted the demands of the shopmen would have been to grant sim ilar demands from all the classes of railroad labor. Moreover, it would hnve been to give a sort of government sanction to similar demands by labor In all other branches of industry throughout the country. The President is pressed by the need of reducing the cost of lUlng or at least checking its adrance. His administra tion, Ms party is threatened by public discontent. More than that, the whole social fabric in America Is endangered by the upward movement of commodity prices. Quiet Revolution Seen In effect a quiet revolution is taking place a a result of the breakdown of oil our habitual ideas of prices nnd all our customary commodity demauds. No one can foresee whither it Is leading aor where It will stop. Whole classes In society see the ground breaking under their feet. Equally other classes see no limit to the possibilities opening before them. There Is great public discontent on the part of those who find themselves menaced. And equal discontent on the part of those who will not Bee them selves denied. Advisers Enlighten President President Wilson has had to elect sides In this issue. As a result of the visit of Chairman Cummings Senator Hitchcock nnd others to him he has, at least temporarily, chosen his Bide. His visitors found him ignorant of what was going on. They succeeded in enlighten ing him on Its possibilities. At present he is enlisted in an effort to check the upward movement of prices and wages with their social overtures. He is attempting to stabiliie production and consumption and social changes. At best It is a huge enterprise nnd his means so far hurriedly extemporised, are , hardly adequate. At tlienaoment of his bginning, the forces in opposition to him come forward with a demand that lie sanction a new advance in wages, an advance which would give the signal to other advances in wages not only in the railroad Industry but In all In dustries. Situation Is Critical To have approved this demand would I' hare been to undo with his left hnnd 'what he was only feebly commencing to IV do with his right. The President had no Choice. He had to refuse the shop men or make nonsense of all his pro fessions about reducing the cost of llv Inr. The situation is critical. The issue is tremendous. The President is fighting these vast forces which the war let loose. Behind the curtain which will be raised when it is determined whether these forces can be arrested at the point they have reached today lies the future. R:R.

All striking railroad men here will ignore instructions of their na tional chiefs that they return (o work I and will continue their strikr, according ' to a decision reached early today after j an all-night meeting.

In statements to the railway employes and the public he set forth : That America faces a situation more likely to affect the life of the people than the war Itself. That the primary step Is to Increase production and facilitate trans portation. The railroad rates will not be raised to meet Increased wages. That increases in wages will further Increase the cost of living. TKht uage questions ought to be postponed until normal conditions re turn. That the Increase to the shopmen only meets a tempornry condition. That the government has taken up with all Its energy the task of bring ing the profiteer to book In order to lower prices. That It would be necessnry to accept higher costs ns a permanent basis for wage adjustments If the fight agalnM high costs falls. entirely.

It was done because of the similarity In the arrangement of the guest tnbles In the form of a huge M. which stood for Maxwell Milder and which reminded the guests of the famous Mastbaum dinner given In the same room several years ago. When State Censor of Films Harry Ii. Knapp spoke he paid tribute to the nualltv of American films and the way producers were striving to moke clean pictures.
